The 2P2P boys were so proud: they thought they had nailed the wide view of the Bible by pointing out that the 'millenium' so-called would give back to Israel 1000 years, which were the 'years the locust had devoured' or some such esoteric understanding of an OT prophecy not ever used by the apostles (almost all 2P2P 'prophecy' beliefs are NOT the ones expressed by the apostles.). In fact, after they read Rom 11's 'to whom does God owe anything?', they usually read this (literally) as 'God owes Israel and Judah 1000 years.'
Well, this is not shooting themselves in the foot but in the face.
From 72 AD to let's say 1900 you have 1828 years lost to the locust, so now the boys math really means that the so called millenium has to be at least 2828 years to be polite. But instead they stick to 1000 and just write off the 1828 as an insulting inevitable damage that doesn't really factor into prophecy, nor in to reality, anywhere. And besides, 1000 is such a nice round complete, pleasing number. And if you dare disagree with them, you are an unbeliever, satanic!
