[chrysostom]

the thousand years

You have to start with the thousand years. It should be the easiest to find and it is easy to find as long as you are not looking for Jesus to reign. Chapter twenty does not say Jesus will reign even though many think so. It says the saints will reign with Christ and any time two or more are gathered in His name, He said He would be with them. The Byzantine Empire consisted of a whole lot of Christians gathered in His name and they reigned for over a thousand years.

:chuckle:

The 1000 years is after the LORD returns.
It cannot be any other way.

You can leave out details to propogate your harebrained schemes, but you'll never get anywhere with it.

I will restore the years the locust have eaten.

 

[chrysostom]

it's a big piece -
you should look to see if it fits -
not your interpretation
-but-
a literal interpretation

you are not even asking the right questions

God said he would restore those years.
Count them up.

 

[Zeke]

Wrong address and kingdom, the kingdom of heaven is still at hand just like it has always been Luke 17:20-21, but until you progress past Matt 11:11 you're understanding will be influenced by this worlds religious traditional blinders looking into the future instead of the NOW.

don't ignore a christian empire that lasted one thousand years

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

don't ignore a christian empire that lasted one thousand years

Too bad the 1000 years begins AFTER the LORD returns.
Details always matter.

How many literal years did the locust eat?

Oh, at least one year.
