You all don't take 1,000 literal. Why would you take Jerusalem as literal? The camp of the saints is the symbolic term along with the beloved city, for Jerusalem.If it was Jerusalem wouldn’t the bible say so? The city God loves now the the true Jerusalem the church.
The church is not even on the earth between the 6th Seal and New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. The camp of the saints is the camp of the 144k. After chapter 7, the 144k are mentioned using the term saints. They are those in Revelation 12:17. Then Revelation 13:7. And they leave earth until they return in Revelation 19:14. Then they are on the earth for 1,000 years as the camp of the saints. They are called out as disciples, and the last two uses are as military terms. The first two uses were as disciples. At the 7th Trumpet when Satan is allowed 42 months, they retreat to heavenly mount zion, until after the 42 months, when they return to Armageddon, with Christ.
