Read Revelation; it is Jesus' Words.
He will Return as King of Kings and reign from Jerusalem [the Temple] for 1000 years.
What frequently used number patterns mean in Scripture:
~ 2 TWO: This number can mean difference, division or double portion.
- In the Creation event, God separated light and darkness. [Genesis 1:3-4]
- The Ten Commandments were inscribed on two tablets of stone.
- There are two Testaments in the Bible
- It is also the number of perfect completion for the Jews.
~ 6 is the number for man, incompletion
- Six is the number of the beasts and of man (both created on the 6th day).
- It is also the number which is symbolic of man's nature to rebel against the sovereignty of God.
~ 8 is the number of salvation -
- It is the number of Christ, of the resurrection, and of the Second Coming.
~ 12 represents the 12 tribes of Israel or the 12 apostles,
~ 1000 is a number for completeness–
~ 70x70 signifies "without limits"
~ 666 is used it means always coming short of perfection,
~ 144,000 is 12 squared times 1000 meaning;
- A great multitude, everyone who's meant to be included is, with no one left out.....
- The 144,000 was 12x12x1000 for the twelve tribes of Israel multiplied by the 12 apostles of the gospel of Christ (a squared number of perfection) multiplied a third time by the symbol of complete fullness, 1000.
- 1,000 is also the symbolic perfection of redeemed man
Deut. 7:9 ~ Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Our God is a faithful God and "a thousand generations" here simply means --- forever!
Psalm 105:8 ~ He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
God does not have a forgetful mind like humans. This verse is referring to the patience of our God.
Psa 50:10 ~ For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
Do you really believe that God literally has a thousand hills with cattle on it somewhere on earth?
Psa 90:4 ~ For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
This 1,000 years is symbolic and means that we should not take his patience for granted.
2 Peter 3:8 ~ But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
This 1,000 years is an indication of God's patience.
Rev 14:3 "...and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except [144,000] who had been redeemed from the earth.
This 144,000 is in heaven. Are you really going to say that there are only 144,000 redeemed saints?
Rev 20:4 ~ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:6 ~ Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 20:6 ~ Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
If God had used the exact number of years that Revelations 20: 4 and 6 say, then we would know exactly when he would return. That would not be for our benefit. If you and I knew that Jesus' second, and ONLY coming on the last day was due on July 4, 2040, just what would we be doing during that period?
Thank goodness for the wisdom of God to not indicate literally when that "thousand" years begins and ends.
Silly replies as above, show a sad lack of Bible knowledge.
As far as my "silliness" goes, it was not silliness at all! You were speaking from a literal indoctrination and I was stating legitimate questions about your so called "literal" temple of 1,000 years. I think people would like to know the answers to my literal questions below...
Q- Where are they going to stay?
Q- How many planes does it take that many people to Israel on one day?
Q- Is the airport large enough for all those planes?
Q- Where is the bathroom in the temple?
Q- Will they have pork in the restaurants or is that still a forbidden food?
