And once again, no place in scripture is a "Literal" 1,000 year reign upon this earth seen in scripture
Revelation 20:1-6 is seen In the Lords "Spiritual Realm", where "Literal" earthly time dosent exist
"Thousand Years" is nothing more than showing one day is a thousand years in the Lords eternal spiritual realm, no "Literal" time
Preaching OUT OF CONTEXT, while ignoring the TEXT, is false on its face.
The Grace of God, TO PUT His Spirit of Truth ..... IN A MAN ....
IS: expressly God having Prepared that man, TO SPEAK Gods TRUTH.
When the TEXT says:
Rev 20:
- [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
- [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
- [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
- [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
- [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
- [7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
When the TEXT says;
2 Pet 3:
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
You are SUPPOSED to UNDERSTAND...
The Lord God...IS eternal, without beginning, without ending. TIME does not constrain Him, AS Time constrains Mortal men.
You are SUPPOSED to UNDERSTAND...
WHEN Mortal men.......ARE COMPLETELY CHANGED.....
....soul......first, restored....ie saved
....spirit.....second, quickened....ie spirit born again of Gods Seed
....body.....their, RISEN IN GLORY....ie holy, uncorrupted.
THE mortal man, has Completely Become MANIFESTED, WHOLLY, WHOLE, and HOLY......From henceforth an ETERNAL LIVING Holy man...
IN THE LIKENESS of the Wholly, Whole, Holy Lord God Almighty...
AND...the FACTOR of TIME....in his Mortal life, 1,000 years was a VERY LONG SPAN of TIME.......IN ETERNAL LIFE, 1,000 years is but a BLIP of Time, as “compared” to a single day.
Men can say......ooh gosh today was a LONG day. Ooh today just Drug on and on. Watching the clock, waiting counting the minutes for this day to end......
Men can say......ooh gosh where does the time go, it just flew by today.
Really? Why is ONE day Loooong, and Other days Flllllly by?
It’s a Foreshadow. Everything in Scripture has a foreshadow men experience IF they pay attention.
Mortal man IS constrained BY TIME, that God Himself established TO constrain mankind.
Immortal men, manifested in the Likeness of God, LIKE God, shall have NO constraints of TIME. There is NO Ending of Eternity. Time is irrelevant.
Jesus’ EARTHLY KINGDOM, IS a literal 1,000 years. Mortal men are STILL occupying the Earth.
