Part 2 You assume but fail to prove! I certainly can understand this comment now that I have learned some of your beliefs about what happens after death, etc. It is not something for me to have to prove… because neither of us can… we just have very different interpretations of the Scriptures...

Part 1 My View: The repeated reference to "a thousand years" (six times in Revelation 20) indicates a literal time period. John uses clear chronological language, describing a literal sequence of events, including Satan’s binding, resurrection of the righteous, reign of the saints, and eventual...

I just posted the timeline (below) in another topic... now I see you have responded here so I am reposting also. I would ask if you might identify which of the elements in the timeline you disagree with. In the meantime, I will go over your lenghty comment. Thanks so much. Where do you (anyone)...

Where do you (anyone) disagree with this timeline of year end events in chapter 20? Timeline 1. The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection (the righteous dead) The dead in Christ will rise first, and those who are alive in the faith will be caught up together with them. Key...

I believe this will be my last response to this issue.... not much more to offer. 1. The 7th Day Sabbath Typology (Millennial Rest) Many see human history as a “week” of 7,000 years: ~6,000 years of human labor and sin (6 “days” of work), followed by 1,000 years of rest with the Lord...

Ok and thanks again for your thoughts. It appears that many contend that Revelation is entirely symbolized ... it is not. Certainly, much of it is and they can be easily (somewhat) determined to be so. However, I believe the 1000 years is not symbolic but literal. In a previous response to...

Thank you for your deep and detailed thoughts. If you don’t mind, I will have to take some time to understand all of this. But knowing your work it is worth spending the time to learn more …

Please consider.... 1) The phrase “a thousand years” appears six times in Revelation 20:2–7. That’s unusually repetitive for such a short passage, which suggests deliberate emphasis. If the Holy Spirit intended the number to be symbolic, He would not have repeated it six times without any...

Would you also please answer the question regarding the verse showing the 1000 years?

Please just try and answer the question.

Rv 20:4-5 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. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first...

What does the following tell you? Rv 20:4-5 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. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years...

What does the Scripture say.. simply read it.

Paul says in Acts 26:23—that Jesus was the first to rise from the dead. After all, Jesus is absolutely the firstborn from the dead (Colossians 1:18), the first fruits of those who will be raised to eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:20). His resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith and the...

Please read revelation 20:4-6 again. Does this not say " the souls...... " It is not discussing Jesus here as the first resurrection. What do you do with the reference / purpose for the 1000 year comment? What do you do with the reference / purpose for the "second resurrection? (the second...

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. This is true.... it...

So, you are saying the 1000 years is not literal because you cannot find a verse that speaks of a physical location? Is the time element a literal 1000 years but it is with the Lord - not on earth?

Would you mind letting me know what is telling you the 1000 years are not literal. I have not seen anything or might have completely missed it. Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Unless I am not understanding your comment, here is what I think I see within your response: There are two sets of people at the end of time - those that are dead at His coming that will be raised from the graves to be with Him for the 1000 years. Secondly, those that...

That is a great question / observation and one that I have been confused about for some time. I have only come up with one answer, and if you might comment on it or offer another that would be great to think about. If you notice I have numbered each of the steps or movements and have...
