all I say is from scripture.Telling someone your opinion is not judging them.
Coming at someone in a manner "I am giving you the truth" can be easily seen as judging them (to not be in truth).

People can interpret the Bible in thousand ways. Even a flat earther can claim he is using "scripture".all I say is from scripture.
thats why the spirit of the ressurected Lord Jesus is important to have with us when we interpert and read, also asking who, when, why, where, how, and what.People can interpret the Bible in thousand ways. Even a flat earther can claim he is using "scripture".
The Bible is actually very clear about the millennial kingdom when you read the end-time prophecies together. In Revelation 20:1–3 it says, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished.” This shows that before Christ’s reign begins, Satan will be removed and unable to deceive the world.No, Bible is very unclear about that. There is only one short place about the "millennial" period and it is in the metaphorical book. Nothing "very clear" about it. People can have thousand of views about it and nobody knows who is right.
This is what I call Lego theology. You take various places and put them together to build the case for your view. Not buying it. I do not agree that the rest of the verses is about the millennium from the book of Revelation.The Bible is actually very clear about the millennial kingdom when you read the end-time prophecies together. In Revelation 20:1–3 it says, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished.” This shows that before Christ’s reign begins, Satan will be removed and unable to deceive the world.
Then Revelation 20:4–6 continues, “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” This couldn’t be clearer. The first resurrection happens before the thousand-year reign, and those who rise then rule with Christ while the rest of the dead wait until the end of that period.
Isaiah also spoke of this time when the world will be at peace. Isaiah 11:6–9 says, “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” This describes a world that has been transformed, where even animals live in harmony. That has never happened yet, so this is still in the future.
Zechariah 14:9 also points to this same time, saying, “And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be—‘The Lord is one,’ and His name one.” When Jesus returns, He will not only rule from heaven but from the earth itself as King over all nations.
Peter, in Acts 3:20–21, “until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” That “restoration” is the renewal of the earth under Christ’s reign, the very kingdom the prophets saw long ago.
See, My opinions are all from scripture! It’s not confusing at all. Jesus will return in glory, Satan will be bound, the faithful will reign with Christ, and the earth will finally live in peace and righteousness. The Bible repeats “a thousand years” six times in Revelation 20 so no one would miss it. God made it plain that this is a real and promised time still ahead of us.
Everybody can claim they have the spirit and so that is why their interpretation is the true one.thats why the spirit of the ressurected Lord Jesus is important to have with us when we interpert and read, also asking who, when, why, where, how, and what.
Matthew Jesus said he IS always with us here is what he said clearly; In John 14:26 (NKJV):thats why the spirit of the ressurected Lord Jesus is important to have with us when we interpert and read, also asking who, when, why, where, how, and what.
All these verses say the same things. the complete chronology is found in the book of revelations, there is a lot of symbolism in that book but the established sequence of the millennial and the final Kingdom is clear.This is what I call Lego theology. You take various places and put them together to build the case for your view. Not buying it. I do not agree that the rest of the verses is about the millennium from the book of Revelation.
Not buying it. The book of Revelation is the least understood book, even though many people boast they know exactly what it means. Two Christians, three opinions.All these verses say the same things. the complete chronology is found in the book of revelations, there is a lot of symbolism in that book but the established sequence of the millennial and the final Kingdom is clear.

Matthew
VERY .yes and very active nowadays
Renee , ya may as well be speaking not only a foreign tongue but a tongue of an invented langague that none has ever heard ofMatthew Jesus said he IS always with us here is what he said clearly; In John 14:26 (NKJV):
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
He also promised in Matthew 28:20, “And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
also the book of revelations with a clear chronology of end time events in regards to the Coming Kingdoms are the words of Christ spoken .through his beloved disciple John.
I did not intend to disrespect you before I apologize.
Not buying scripture then.Not buying it. The book of Revelation is the least understood book, even though many people boast they know exactly what it means. Two Christians, three opinions.
