Except Rev 20:6
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.

A thousand years translates to a millennium.
5507 xílioi – properly, a thousand; the product of 10 x 10 x 10 (103, ten cubed); (figuratively) emphatic, total inclusiveness, showing no one (nothing) is left out. See also "the Millennium" in the HELPS prophecy-guide.

mil·len·ni·um

/məˈlenēəm/
noun

  • 1.a period of a thousand years, especially when calculated from the traditional date of the birth of Christ: "silver first came into use on a substantial scale during the 3rd millennium"
  • 2.an anniversary of a thousand years:
Since Christ will reign for 1 thousand years (millennium), and he will be reigning in his kingdom whether you think it’s literal or spiritual, it’s a millennial kingdom regardless per that verse.

If anyone changes anything in this book, like that verse, they are subject to removal from the book of life. Tread carefully!

As for the earth, it’s said in Rev 11:15
The kingdom of the world
has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”

This world is his reign on earth.
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.

An angel come down from heaven..........to where?


2.) Physical Earthly Throne?

2 Samuel 7:
[16] And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

What did YOU do with king David’s ever lasting kingdom and throne?


3.) Physical Mortal Humans?
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him


Since everyone in Christ’s kingdom are priests reigning with him.....
Who are they reigning /ruling over?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Thanks for the response!

Scripture teaches that the resurrection and catching up of believers takes place at the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ

I strongly disagree with the "Mid Trib" rapture you present

Jesus Is The Lord

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17KJV
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

He is coming for his saints in the Olivet discourse. In Revelation 19 He is returning with his saints. Big difference there, my friend.

There is one future second coming of Jesus Christ

This takes place immediately after the tribulation on the last day, when Jesus Christ returns in fire and final judgment, dissolving this earth by fire (The End)

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.
I have thought about this some. For me, I can’t speak for others, I don’t know if it’s literal or spiritual. I can see both somewhat and there are many reasons, too many to list in this thread.

But we are to reign with him in his kingdom for 1k years. His kingdom is on earth regardless if someone thinks it is physical or spiritual. And we are to rule with Christ the nations, on this earth, with an iron rod. Both spiritual and it has a literal application.

But I see it more spiritual than all physical. Christ will come back and we will see him, but when he left, he was only seen by those that followed him. It’s possible no one will see him except those that truly believe.

This is not case closed for me. There can always be more to study on a subject. :)

If I may, is it possible or have you given thought to this:

He comes for his saints - to save and reward and they go to meet him in the air;

And He returns with them as they escort him as subjects escort a New Monarch to his Kingdom

Thereby, they can be both be viewed as the same event.

It’s possible no one will see him except those that truly believe.

The Son of Man came to earth...Believers AND unbelievers SAW Him, in the Likeness, Fashion, Body God Prepared for Him, for When He came down from Heaven to this world. (Heb 10:5...Phil 2:7-8)

The Son of Man SHALL return to earth...Believers AND unbelievers SHALL SEE Him.
Matt. 24:30
Mark 14:62
Luke 21:27

Believers believe, WHO He is WITHOUT Seeing He is Spirit.
Unbelievers, ONLY saw a Man, and can/could NOT believe He is Spirit.

Not the same event.

He has been Saving the departed living souls of His People since the Beginning.

Gen 35; Faithful Jacob’s Faithful wife Rachel died delivering her son Benjamin...

Gen 35:
[18] And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
[19] And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
[20] And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

Paradise is WHERE departed living saved souls go.
Paradise is WHERE the Tree of Life is.
Paradise...first in the garden.
Paradise...then in the comfort divided side of hell.
Paradise...now in Heaven.
Paradise...shall be again On renewed Earth.
The fruit (Word of God) of the Tree of Life, keeps the saved living soul nourished and saved, forever with God.

Regarding manKIND...
Saints are faithful saved ever living souls, in an alive body on earth, or out of a dead body in heaven.

The Lord raises up the glorified body’s of Christ’s Church, imparts their saved souls, AND their born again spirits....

What is so SPECIAL about Christ’s Church, BEFORE the TRIB, that does NOT APPLY to BELIEVERS...?

* Christ’s Church, already bodily dead...
.........not all believers crucified with Christ
* Christ’s Church, soul saved
.........Believers not soul saved until a bodily death.
* Christ’s Church, already born again with Gods Seed.
........Believers can’t received Gods Seed, until their body dies.

WHY IS Christ’s Church risen up BEFORE Trib begins?
* Nothing more for them to accomplish on Earth to BE Prepared for God to Receive them...
* They already ARE fully Prepared; forgiven: A new creature;
dead cleansed body, saved soul, spirit born again.....ALREAD READY, at any moment the Lord God decides to Send His Tribulations Down upon the Earth...The Lord calls them up off the face of the Earth to the Clouds to not suffer tribulations and wrath.

Glory to God,
Taken

The Church will be present on earth to witness the great tribulation, and second coming of Jesus Christ in the heavens, just as Luke 21:25-28 "Clearly" teaches below, there will be no (Pre-Trib Rapture) as dispensationalism falsely teaches, dont be deceived

Luke 21:25-28KJV
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

You consistently make False claims.
And repeatedly without studying Post scriptures that do NOT apply to verify your claims.

The Primary purpose of Revelations is for God to Fulfill His Promise to Israel...Israel IS NOT Christ’s Church...and thereafter END all corruption In Heaven, On the Earth.

The entire Book of Luke mentions SYNAGOGUE 17 times...
The entire Book of Luke mentions CHURCH 0 times...

Luke 21:12
[12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Really, Gentile believers are going to be persecuted, hated AND delivered up to SYNAGOGUES because they believed in Jesus?


Matt 24:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The Book of Luke IS NOT ABOUT the Church.
Really, YOU are of a TRIBE of Israel, going to be LOOKING UP at the Son of man coming.........and MOURNING?

INVALID.

If I may, is it possible or have you given thought to this:

He comes for his saints - to save and reward and they go to meet him in the air;

And He returns with them as they escort him as subjects escort a New Monarch to his Kingdom

Thereby, they can be both be viewed as the same event.

It cannot be the same event because the Olivet discourse is clearly the middle of the Tribulation and not the end. This is what Post Escapologists do not seem to understand. You most likely don’t know that…

(a) The signs or the sixth seal is tied to the same signs that are marked by the coming Day of the Lord (or the Day of God’s Wrath) which is a period of time and not a literal 24 hour day.

(b) You don’t know that the Olivet discourse is clearly describing the Middle of the Tribulation because the Abomination of Desolations is marking the middle of the tribulation according to Daniel AND because other verses say that there are many days that will still happen that add up to three and a half years (using different words in the Bible).

When the signs below are seen, the time is "Close", no 3.5 years are beyond this time, as you claim a mid tribulation point "Wrong"

"When These Things Begin To Come To Pass"

Luke 21:25-28KJV
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Last Day, The Final Wrath Of God, The End!

Revelation 6:12-17KJV
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Lambs Wrath.........Rev 6:16
Who shall be able to STAND...??

Who? Obviously SOME, Because there IS to Come thereafter;

The Devils Wrath...........Rev 12:14
The Wrath of God..........Rev 16:1

But NO MATTER For a man IN Christ...Because

1 Thes 5:
[9] For God hath not appointed us (WHO ARE SAVED) to wrath...

US WHO ARE saved, already HAVE our STANDING “IN” Christ., and
CAN NOT FALL!
Christ IS NOT on Earth During Gods TribulationS sent down from Heaven and neither are THE SAVED.
BTW...neither was Noah on the Earth when he was SAVED from Gods First Great Tribulation upon the Earth.

The Church will be present on earth to witness the great tribulation, and second coming of Jesus Christ in the heavens, just as Luke 21:25-28 "Clearly" teaches below, there will be no (Pre-Trib Rapture) as dispensationalism falsely teaches, dont be deceived

Luke 21:25-28KJV
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
How is it that you do not understand that Luke 21:28 (And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.) is for the Jews that will be on the earth during the 70th week of Daniel.

The Gentiles should be looking for these verses
Luke 21
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The Church can escape all these things that will come to pass and stand before the son of man.

You don’t know that the Olivet discourse is clearly describing the Middle of the Tribulation
I see. So you think Daniel’s 70 weeks lasted beyond Christ death for another almost 2k years. How many years does Revelation describe because I’m only aware of 3.5

Are you saying you believe that Jesus gave the discourse recorded in Matthew 24 on a completely different day than He gave the discourse recorded in Luke 21? What evidence do you have to back that up? That would mean the disciples on two separate occasions marveled at the temple buildings and then asked Him when they would be destroyed. How can that be? In case you're not understanding what I'm saying, let me illustrate.

Matthew 24:1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Luke 21:5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” 10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

The similarities between these passages are undeniable. You think that on two separate occasions, the disciples marveled at the temple buildings with Jesus then telling them that they would be destroyed? How can that be? Surely, they would not have forgotten that He had already told them the temple buildings would be destroyed, so He wouldn't need to tell them that again. There's no question that Matthew 24:1-2 and Luke 21:5-6 are speaking of the same thing. And then in each case it has the disciples asking Jesus when that would happen (the temple buildings being destroyed) with Matthew adding another question about His coming and the end of the age. Matthew probably wanted to make it clear that Jesus talked about two different events in His discourse, so that's why He separated and worded the questions the way he did. And in each passage Jesus proceeds to tell them to watch out that they are not deceived and they would hear of wars and rumors of wars and such, but that these things would not mean that the end of the age was near.

With all of that in mind, how can you possibly think that Matthew 24 and Luke 21 are not the same discourse? They clearly are the same. They did not ask Jesus when the temple buildings would be destroyed on two separate occasions and Jesus did not tell them to watch out to not be deceived while saying there would be wars and rumors of wars on two separate occasions. Luke worded some things differently only because his primary audience was Gentiles. That's why he spelled things out to them in Luke 21:20 while Matthew, whose primary audience was Jews, told them to reference the prophecy that Daniel wrote about in order to understand when they should flee, which the Gentiles Luke was writing to would have known nothing about. So, for Luke to reference the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel and to say "let the reader understand" to the Gentiles would have made no sense.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Reading over what I said and your answer I see that I am not making the correct statement. I shouldn't be saying that it is not the same discourse. What I'm trying to say is that we really need to pay attention to what is being said to really understand Matthew 24 and Luke 21. I'll repost the Matthew and Luke verses that you posted.

Matthew 24:1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Luke 21:5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” 10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

So as you have excellently pointed out with the colors, these are the exact same events being discussed. If we keep reading, we will see where there is an odd turn. After listing the events of the four horsemen of the apocalypse which are the beginning of sorrows here is what Matthew says next.

Matthew 24
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

When we continue in Luke 21 after the four horsemen of the apocalypse Luke says something different.

Luke 21
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Matthew 24 talks of a future event as it says THEN after the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24 is talking end times in Jerusalem when the abomination of desolation is set up. Whereas Luke 21 says BUT BEFORE ALL THESE. Luke 21 is talking about Jerusalem in 70 AD.

These are important differences that need to be understood.
