It's not about the fear of death rob. "Death" has been defeated.

Satan...his demons and fallen angels can still cause disruption. They roam around like roaring lions.

Are they on a "leash"? Yes. Still, a dog on a leash can bite you.

The point is that because Satan was already bound through Christ's cross and resurrection, Satan has no power to hold people in bondage to death who have been born again. Because Satan is bound the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed and people throughout all the nations of the earth are being born again and possess ETERNAL life. That could not happen prior to the advent of Christ, the nations of the world had no knowledge of the Savior ordained to come and redeem from death whosoever would believe in Christ.

Yes, just as a dog on a lease can still bite if you get too close, so too, the spirit called Satan is not without power to hold in bondage to death all who remain in darkness and unbelief.

The explanation of prophesy is literal, not the prophesy itself. For instance, the Apostle Peter went on the housetop to pray in Acts 10:11-13 and a sheet bound on 4 corners was descending to him with unclean animals and Jesus tells Peter to "Rise, Peter; kill and eat".
Is this vision/prophesy literal?

The vision was literal.
The “picture” is a desire of men, having separated themselves, to gather together… Jew or Gentile to gather, to hear the Lords Word, to eat together….
IS accounted Righteous unto the Jew and the Gentile.

Acts 10:
[33] Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
[35] But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Glory to God,

You blew it right there, friend.
You are openly denying the Scripture that says Jesus will reign for 1000 years.
Rev ch 20

Revelation 20:1-6 Isnt A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Dont Be Deceived​


Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?
2.) Physical Earthly Throne?
3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV
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.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
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.

Then what is it? Please present a chapter and verse. Considering you had to use a large bold font, that should be that hard for you to do. Right?

Where does the Bible ever speak of a millennial Kingdom of God on this earth either now or when Christ comes again?

In the passage where it mentions the 1,000 years 6 times.

Nowhere in Rev 20 does John write of a millennial Kingdom of God on this earth!

John writes that Satan is bound for a thousand years, and during this time martyred saints have lived and reigned with Christ. Then John writes the dead will not live again until the thousand years were finished. Next John writes only the blessed and holy who have part in the first resurrection shall also reign with Christ a thousand years. When the thousand years expire, Satan is set free to go throughout the world to deceive and gather together unbelievers (Gog&Magog) to encompass the camp of the saints and the beloved city. That's when fire comes down from God out of heaven to devour them, and the devil is cast into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet are. Last but not least John writes that the dead stand before God at the great white throne to be judged according to what is written in the books and the book of life. And finally, death and hell also are cast into the eternal flames, called the lake of fire that is the second death.

Perhaps you can point out where in this chapter John writes of a millennial Kingdom of God on this earth?

Where are the saints reigning with Christ, if not on Earth?

Who is Christ KING of “kings” reigning OVER such “kings” of earthly nations?

John 5:28-29 clearly teaches below, all that are in the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth, this takes place on the (Last Day) at the second coming of Jesus Christ (Final Judgement)

Two resurrections are seen below (First) the resurrection to life (Second) the resurrection to damnation or (Second Death), the righteous are blessed to be in the (First) resurrection to eternal life.

(THE LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(THE LAST DAY JUDGEMENT)

John 12:48KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

The scripture is very clear
1. Jesus Christ Comes
2. The Resurrection Takes Place
3. Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory
4. Then Cometh The End
5. In The Twinkling Off An Eye

afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, not a Millennial Kingdom on this earth as many falsely claim

(Then Cometh The End)
(Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory)
(In The Twinkling Of An Eye)

1 Corinthians 15:21-24 & 51-54KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end
, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
What you (and most of Christendom) are missing is the timing of "at his coming."

Jesus went to the Father and said He would return "soon" and all that He spoke of "must shortly come to pass." He also revealed ( in Revelation) how it would occur, saying "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in [return] to him..." Which can only be in spirit, as He also said, "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father" (who "is spirit"). Paul then clarified making a clear exception to how we might otherwise think of Him coming either "soon" or alternatively "someday", saying "but [rather] each one in his own order" or time.

That "but" changes everything--but that is what is written.

The land promised to Abraham and his descendants.

God Himself established an everlasting throne for king David.

DURING the Trib / Wrath sent down from Heaven, men who have Made no COMMITMENT TO God (or Satan) will MAKE their COMMITMENTS and face their one Bodily Death FOR / Because of their committed Belief.

While Satan, his angels are confined for 1,000 years…
A portion “of non-committed” Mortal “believers” who were NOT Bodily Killed, (the remnant) shall repopulate the Earth… live, reproduce, die, another generation, etc. build cities, nations, kingdoms, have governing kings…
While Christ Jesus rules His Kingdom…and IS the governing King of all nations kings…
For 1,000 years…

Then, is Satan, his angels loosed, allowed to influence the mortal nations…
Convincing…All world nations to come Against Christ Jesus’ Kingdom (Abraham’s promised land…king Davids everlasting Throne / Jerusalem…
AND all mortals Destroyed, by Fire raining down from Heaven…

Then, is a New Heaven and New Earth merged with no division.

2Sam 7:
[12] And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
[13] He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
[14] I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
[15] But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
[16] And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Rev 20:
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Rev 21:
[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Glory to God,

The facts of Gods Knowledge is FOUND throughout Scripture … Not all Truth is Located in Rev 20:1-6…
But then not my job to read, study, learn, understand FOR you.

Your rejections of Gods Truths is only accountable to you…
Zero effect on me.
Thanks for sharing “your opinion”.
Good for me to know others beliefs and rejections.

You've clearly been shown, not one word in Revelation 20:1-6 is upon this earth, it's taking place in the Lord's "Spiritusal Realm"!

Once again, not one word in your response shows a Millennial Kingdom on this earth in Revelation 20:1-6, you can repeat your claim 1,000 times, it doesn't exist in scripture, it's that simple
