Trying to make the Olivet Discourse applicable only to those who would live far into the future ignores the FACT that Christ gave answers telling them of these they would experience as they faithfully preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 24 is a prophecy of Jesus describing events that would take place in a "Future" generation and church on this earth

The Apostles and disciples of Jesus didn't experience or witness Matt 24:15 in Daniel's AOD, nor Matt 24:21 in the great tribulation, nor Matthew 24:29-30 in the signs and the Lord's actual second coming, these are all future events unfulfilled

Any claim that Matt 24:21 in the great tribulation took pace from the time of Jesus until the Lord's future second coming is "Laughable" as the scripture teaches it will be a time that's cut short, a time so horrible that it hasn't been seen in history nor ever will be "Future Unfulfilled"

Jesus Is The Lord

<no such thing as a 1,000 year Millennial kingdom>

Bible noted:
"reign with him for a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6)

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.

Thousand, a thousand, this thousand, which thousand all indicate 1000.

"Thousand years" (Revelation 20:2) is χιλια ετη.
χιλια = 1000
ετη = years
Hence 1000 years.

Greek has no "a," so it cannot say "a thousand years," rather it can only say "thousand years." English would typically render as "a thousand years."

"Time no longer" = "no more delay." It does not indicate the end of time itself, since time is not an entity, rather time is simply the interval in which action occurs.

I did not see this reply until after my last reply. See reply 203 which shows how the Greek χίλιοι chílioi, khil'-ee-oy is defined "unknown affinity".

There is no difference between "time no longer" and "no more delay" - both equate to the mystery of God being finished. The unknown mystery that has been made known through Christ is that the Gospel of the Kingdom of God would be preached until Gentiles (all nations), and the Kingdom of God would become complete when the last Gentile has been saved through the power of the Gospel proclaimed and the Holy Spirit.

Mystery known, the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is not limited to one Hebrew nation, but is now given to nations (Gentiles) throughout the whole world. When the last Gentile to be saved the mystery of the Kingdom of God is finished. There will be no more time given this world wherein man might be eternally saved in the days when the last/seventh trumpet begins to sound. There will be no more delay, time shall be no longer!

Romans 11:25 (KJV) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Ro 16:25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Ro 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

Eph 3:1 ¶ For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Re 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Re 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: (some translations no longer delay)
Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

I'm done engaging with your unbiblical doctrine here, because you never reply to anything I've said. Although nothing said has made any difference to you, time has not been entirely wasted because others have read and are reading these forums. Like you've said, it's time to stop beating a dead horse!

<Greek has no a>

Greek alphabet noted:
α, β, γ, δ
a b g d

What about 'the' thousand years in vss. 3, 5, and 7? You ignore 'a' for whatever reason, I'm not sure of what you believe about 'the' before thousand years, but then force fit thousand years to be exactly ONE thousand more years of time after Christ comes again? How do you prove "the thousand years" equates to exactly ONE thousand years of more time after Christ returns?

A/The thousand according to Stong's Concordance:

Strong's Greek Dictionary
5507. χίλιοι chilioi (chílioi)

Search for G5507 in KJVSL; in KJV; load in ESI.

χίλιοι chílioi, khil'-ee-oy

plural of uncertain affinity; a thousand:—thousand.

Since "one thousand" according to Strong's is defined:

Strong's Greek Dictionary
5505. χιλιάς chilias (chiliás)

Search for G5505 in KJVSL; in KJV; load in ESI.

χιλιάς chiliás, khil-ee-as'

from G5507; one thousand ("chiliad"):—thousand.

Realizing this is arguing from silence, which is apparently fine with you, we must wonder why John did not simply write "one thousand years" instead of making it vague saying "a/the thousand years"? It stands to reason, at least for me, that John left it vague to equate it to time that began with the first advent and will end when the last/seventh trumpet begins to sound. Why? Because if thousand means exactly one thousand years would it not be possible for man to know the time when Christ will apparently come a third time?

afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, not a Millennial Kingdom on this earth as many falsely claim
Revelation 20:
4. .............................................................................................. And they lived again and ruled with Christ a thousand years.
5. The remainder of the dead were not restored to life again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
6. Blessed and holy is the person who takes part in the first resurrection! Over them the second death exerts no power or authority, but they shall be ministers of GOD and of Christ, and they shall rule along with Him a thousand years.
7. And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his place of confinement,
8. And he will go forth to deceive and seduce and lead astray the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth-Gog and Magog-to master them for war; their number is like the sand of the sea.


Then cometh the end, not a millennial Kingdom on this earth??

Seem like you're the only one who falsely claim in the first place, therefore the rest of your claims as well just falls apart.

Chapter 20; Satan is bound hurled into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.
; The saints in Christ were taken up at the first resurrection, and met the Lord in the cloud in His 2nd coming.
; And they lived again and ruled with Christ a thousand years.

Therefore if they ruled with Christ, surely over the earth as well a millenium Kingdom of peace on earth, when all the enemies been put away.

Then when the millenium is completed, Satan is released once again to deceive and seduce and lead astray the nations of the earth.

And the list goes on, until the devil was hurled into the lake of fire finally, and then comes the great white throne where all the dead shall rise from their graves to be judged.

Finally the end cometh.
