If you are not up to speed on what man's doctrine of Amillennialism is about, then I recommend reading the following link: What is amillennialism? | GotQuestions.org
The doctrine of Amillennialism believes the Revelation 20 "thousand years" reign by Christ and His elect is metaphorical, and not about a literal time period. They instead treat it as the time for the Church age, like from Christ's death and resurrection until His future return. That means they believe since Jesus died on the cross and rose, that His Kingdom right then was commenced on earth.
They see the "thousand years" number as just a spiritual number which has no specific literal span of time, which is related to the idea which the Jews used in their Kabbalah and Gematria numerical systems of mysticism applied to Bible Scripture (very similar to the Bible Codes ideas).
In John 18:36, Lord Jesus said His Kingdom is NOT of this world, meaning of this present world time. His 'spiritual' kingdom began at His death and resurrection, but not His LITERAL KINGDOM TO COME.
Yet many Amillennialists believe we are in Christ's Kingdom NOW, with some even thinking that ALL peoples of this present world time will eventually convert to Jesus Christ! They believe it is their job in Christ to help Jesus create His Literal Kingdom here and now during this present world time. That is why they apply some of the events of Revelation 20 backwards, as if they apply now during the time of the Church age.
Those who have studied The Word of God should see a major problem with that thinking, because God's Word reveals this present world is preserved unto destruction by fire, and that the end of this world is going to be ruled by evil men and a specific coming Antichrist who is to show up in Jerusalem at the very end, and persecute Christ's saints. And the whole world is to worship him, excepting Christ's elect (Revelation 11; Revelation 13; 2 Peter 3:10; Daniel 2; Daniel 7, 8, 9, 10, 12; Matthew 24:15-26; 2 Thessalonians 2).
I admit, by the time of the 2nd century A.D., with The Gospel being preached particularly in Asia Minor and Europe, and many accepting Christ Jesus there with miraculous growth of Christ's Church, that many began to think that Jesus' literal Kingdom had come then, and would takeover the whole world in time. But there has... to be some amount of 'independent' thought about that idea originating from sources outside Bible Scripture. Reason I say that is because God's Word does not teach this PRESENT world could ever become the Kingdom of Christ Jesus. Instead, God's Word reveals that this present world is given to the devil to rule over, but with God protecting His that He preserves.
Just what sources might that 'independent' thinking be, of believing this present world today is Christ's Kingdom having come already (even without Jesus having returned yet), and that it is our job to make it happen FOR THIS PRESENT WORLD TIME?
Might that involve Satan's host who plan to establish a one-world kingdom for the dragon to come and rule over? Believe it or not, that... is actually what is prophesied for the end of this world per Christ's Book of Revelation (Revelation 13). Who would be working for that goal during this present world? Satan's occult hierarchy. There, the cat's out of the bag.
For over 22 centuries, the occult secret societies of today have claimed their origins from the old "mysteries" (they call it). In ancient Egypt there were so-called 'mystery schools' run by the Egyptian priesthood. To become a student under their system one had to petition for training as an initiate neophyte. The priest's teachings involved the esoteric mysteries hidden from the general populace, and contained secret formulas, sciences, studies of nature and mathematics, things which for ancient peoples seemed like miracles, but for today's time are taught in most of the universities. The priests controlled this system of knowledge, and one had to be initiated into their 'mysteries' in order to have access. And it also involved an ancient occult philosophy. Much of this ancient knowledge was housed in the library at Alexandria, Egypt which burned down.
More About Their 'Mysteries':
Their 'mysteries' did not only involve natural science, but also OCCULT SCIENCE. What's that? Basically, Esoterica, hidden knowledge. That's getting into the realm of 'magic', ceremonial or ritual magic, conjuring up demons, conversing with spirits, seeking to enter into the underworld (what some would call 'astral projection' today), association, sorcery, witchcraft, diviners, necromancy, etc. Those kind of things God told His people to not do, and under the old covenant anyone found doing them was to be put away (Exodus 22:18; Deuteronomy 18:9-13).
Sorry to say, those things are still going on today among the secret societies of initiation that practice the occult, and no doubt have increased, since the Christian Church no longer penalizes those caught practicing those things. Thus you won't find very many of them being exposed, which reveals how deeply rooted in secret their systems are in today's society over all the world.
The doctrine of Amillennialism is thus A PERFECT VEHICLE for the Occult secret societies plans for a "one world government" in preparation for Lucifer to come and rule over the world in person, their king, and their 'rock' which they worship.
Therefore, God's Word is giving us a whole lot of information in a general sense about these events for the end of this world. And many brethren are almost completely ignorant of today's OCCULT SECRET SOCIETY working in order to bring CHRIST'S KINGDOM. That's the next subject on this matter coming...
