No, but they do seclude themselves in the wedding chamber for seven days known as the "seven days of feasting" or "seven days of the bridal week." In biblical terms, 7 years is compared to a week. The number seven pops up quiet a lot in eschatology.



I think you're skipping around a bit. When they are betrothed, they are not officially married, that happens about a year later. That's when they have the ceremony at the seven blessings and actually consummate the marriage.



That's not entirely true. The bible does give several descriptions of the wedding, but since we're generally not familiar with the customs of their time, we miss them. There's lot of difference sources we could you use, biblical, extra-biblical, historical records, and so on two piece together what a wedding was like during that time.
Pretribs create this erroneous extra-biblical theory in regard to a Jewish Wedding yet they insist that the "thousand years in Rev 20 (the most debated chapter in Scripture in the most figurative book) must be hyper-literal! Do you not see the duplicity?

What has that to do with not answering my question if the “one hour” that the beast reigns with the “ten kings” in Revelation 17:12 is just literally sixty minutes?
A prudent person should reason The Scripture never declares one hour equals 60 minutes
and
Guessing by trying to figure is a fail…

And in the Big Scheme of things…it does not matter…. Because the limit of knowledge given you is sufficient…
For you to know…
his rule authority is a very short part of one day.

Any other dumb questions?

  1. Are these believers who are saved in the tribulation "in Christ"?

Saved IN Christ IS Saved By Christ…
Are you wondering IF Christ Leaves His Bride During His Wedding And Goes Looking For More Brides?

Does that parallel with a Jewish Wedding?
  1. Are they redeemed by the blood of Christ?
  2. Are they one family/fold with the Jewish believers in Israel who get saved?
Have you OBSERVED Anyone, being Washed in Christs Blood?

The Whole of Scripture IS about Division From God
AND
Adjoining WITH God through the Order and Way God Established.
AND
The ORDER and WAY for men to FREELY Pick, choose, or Reject Adjoining….
With or WithOUT the Lord God..

Beginning YOUR Theory AS A Fact…
Changes nothing Regarding a Fact.

You spend the majority of your Time… Pretending You are a reliable Source of Others Beliefs, That You Reject.

They who believe differently from you , are the best source to speak for themselves.

Most (excluding you), have for themselves Declared their Beliefs …
While (you) spend the majority of your time repeatedly (to ad nauseam) blathering about what (you) do not believe.

Not… the protocol set forth by the Lord God Himself.

Is "a thousand" always literal in Scripture?

Because Rev 20 comes after Rev 19.
Revelation is full of recaps. Revelation 20 is the last of 7 recaps pertaining to the intra-Advent period. Revelation 19 is the second coming. It is also the end of the world. The fact is: there are no wicked left to rule over. All flesh is destroyed in Revelation 19 (as in every other Old Testament and New Testament second coming passage). Revelation 20 takes us back to Christ's victory over sin and death at the first resurrection and depicts the enlightenment of the Gentiles. It finishes with the general resurrection/judgment.

Revelation 19 is a picture of the glorious return of Christ. Jesus comes in majesty and power to execute judgment upon all. The all-consuming nature of the destruction and the all-inclusive degree of the judgment described in Revelation 19 fits with multiple Scripture that indicate that all the wicked will be destroyed at the appearing of Christ at the end. He destroys His enemies with the sword of His mouth – His very command. This is the power of His Word. His judgment cannot be thwarted or avoided.

Revelation 19 is the end of the world. All flesh is destroyed in that chapter. There is no one left to inhabit a future Premillennialist millennium. This is another text that forbids Premil.

A thousand years is Timeframe.
Is it literal Yes.

Can any individual have the wherewithall to count hours to days, days to years? Years to a thousand? Sure.

Will every hour, every day, every year have the Exact amount of Literal Time… different people have counted?
No.

Close ?
Generally yes.

Since your fascination is with TIME duration… why bother me with your questions?

So, the one hour of time in Revelation 17 is figurative but, the thousand years of time in Revelation 20 are literal? Is that not double standards? Is that not duplicity?

Not avoiding…
Expressing my boredom with your nonsense that does Nothing to Glorify God or capture my interest.
You cannot show what you believe and you cannot address rebuttals from God's Word. Where is your biblical support Pretrib? We all know it is not there.

I have Zero Requirement to Prove to you what I believe.

I made ZERO effort to Establish a Spiritual Relationship with you.

My Spiritual Relationship is With my Spirit Lord God Almighty.

Affects me None, if you shall or Not be Received By and With Christ the Lord, where He is.

John 14:
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Again, more avoidance and no rebutt just childish comments. That is because that post forbids what you have been taught.
Nothing new…
Gaslight others
Void of spiritual understanding
Preach from a Carnal perspective
Ask irrelevant questions
Boring

LOL… you state your words, then challenge what you say…

That’s funny.
No. Amillennialists are consistent. They take both as figurative time periods. One hour represents a short period of time. A thousand years represents a long period of time. They have consistent hermeneutics. Pre-trib has no hermeneutics. It is foisted upon God's word.
