Who finds this scripture hard to understand???Who was this for? I'm not sure if it's just a general statement of what you believe or if it's based on something someone said.

I don't, but I was just asking who the post was directed towards. That is all =PWho finds this scripture hard to understand???
Revelation 20:4-6 - The Thousand Year Reign
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years"
How do you know if the thousand years are literal or symbolic?Satan's oldest deception=Did God really say???
Revelation 20:4-6 - The Thousand Year ReignBlessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years"
Me thinks it was me who asked "how can one verify that the thousand years are literal or perhaps only symbolic?"I don't, but I was just asking who the post was directed towards. That is all =P
How do you know if the thousand years are literal or symbolic?Believe God's Word revealed in inspired scripture==
We shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years"
For me, Id have to contemplate it this way. If the 1k years are not literal and they are symbolic, then ruling the nations has to be symbolic and judging the nations has to be symbolic. I'm not sure how we rule and judge nations symbolically for a long length of time that is also just symbolic. If it was all symbolic, it doesn't sound like the millennial kingdom would be that grand. So I'd have to ask, if it's all symbolic, is the no more crying, no more fear, no more...etc also symbolic because if it is...that's really disappointing.How do you know if the thousand years are literal or symbolic?
The question is not about "Did God really say".Yes!!! Satan wants you to think God's Word is not true and cannot be trusted all just = Did God really say??
Read in contex and THINK!!The question is not about "Did God really say".
We can all see teh Scripture you posted about 1,000 years.
Revelation is both literal and symbolic, such as the "Red Dragon" which is symbolic of satan.
How do you know if the 1,000 Years are literal or symbolic?

"Your Claim Is False"Post 9. Power over the nations and ruling them with a rod of iron. Rev 2
How many peoples, tribes, tongues and nations does the LORD kill with His rod of iron?"Your Claim Is False"
Problem is the many's interpretation of "Rod Of Iron"?
Many falsely believe and teach its some sort of (Rulers Scepter) "Wrong"!
A "Rod Of Iron" is a "Tool Of Destruction" that a Potter destroys clay vessels with
Jesus returns and destroy's the wicked like a Potter destroy's his vessels with a "Rod Of Iron" its that simple
Sad part is, many have been clearly shown this truth several times, and they continue to teach error
The "Rod Of Iron" is a "Tool Of Destruction" not a "Kings Scepter" as many falsely believe and teach
Psalm 2:9KJV
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Revelation 2:27KJV
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 19:15KJV
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Satan is the god of this world until Jesus returns and defeats all evil!!!We are priests of God and of Christ and He reigns now.
Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
"Your claim is False" A man made fairy tale."Your Claim Is False"
We are appointed to tribulation = JESUS said so - John 16:33How strange that some want to fight against the rapture eventhough God's Word says pray that you be counted worthy to escape the tribulation judgments and we are not appointed to wrath.
How many grains of sand are there on all the beaches in the world?How many peoples, tribes, tongues and nations does the LORD kill with His rod of iron?
"The Nations" of the "Saved" will be in New Jerusalem, you want this to be in a man made millennial kingdom on "This Earth" False"Your claim is False" A man made fairy tale.
Rev 2
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
Rod, scepter or staff of iron.
