Revelation 20 is not symbolic of anything. Revelation 20 contains the literal actual events. Revelation 20 does not need an explanation.

The explanation by the angel is still unclear and obscure. Daniel was not meant to be understood, until years after the facts have already happened. Jesus said let the reader understand. Not the reader of Daniel. The reader of the historical account that has already happened. No one in the NT ever said Daniel is being fulfilled, nor has been fulfilled. It is 2000 years later, and we see the historical record as having fulfilled Daniel. Yet some claim Daniel is still future. How would you know, unless God tells us at that final judgment, what was fulfilled, and when.

Everyone states the 4th beast was Rome. We know from history that Rome was no longer in existence after the 5th century, in any way or form. All of Daniel 7 has been fulfilled including the coming of Jesus and the Cross. Did those living in the first century have a clearer understanding than we do? I don't think so. A lot of church fathers did not recognize that Jesus had fulfilled Daniel 7. So many here carry on that tradition, and claim Daniel 7 is still left unfulfilled until the Second Coming of Jesus.

That is not a Preterists position to say Daniel has all been fulfilled. That is just from understanding the historical record. What is Preterist, is saying Revelation is the same prophecy as Daniel, and Revelation has also been fulfilled.

We have seen the rebirth of Israel, and nations rise against nations. We have seen OT prophecy fulfilled. Yet many will argue the OT is either too obscure, or their interpretation has not been carried out as they see fit.

I disagree that revelation 20 should be taken as 100 percent literal.

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.

Was Daniel one of all the prophets?

Luke 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Acts 3:24
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

Acts 10:43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
