How can Revelation 20 be parallel camera view when it starts out with the martyred great tribulation saints' bodies being resurrected?
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.
I think though that you hit the nail on the head that what it comes down to between pre-mil vs amil is whether Revelation 20 is a unbroken continuation of Revelation 19 as premil contends.
Or is Revelation 20 a parallel camera view as amil contends.
So first Satan has to be bound and cast into the bottomless pit.
Christ’s first advent involved Him coming to overcome every enemy of man. Christ conquered sin, death, Hades and Satan when He came. They are all defeated enemies that have been given a short season to survive during this intra-Advent. They will all finally be eliminated when Jesus comes again to introduce eternal righteousness. Because the kingdom of God is a unitary whole, the fate of all are tied together, Christ being the representative head. Christ's victory now belongs to the elect of God. That is why they have been given power over Satan and his demons. They have been given authority to invade his dark kingdom since the cross with the light of the truth.
The fate of the Satan, demons, the beast (antichrist spirit or the mystery of iniquity) and the wicked are all tied together. Because the kingdom of darkness is a unitary whole, the fate of all are tied together, Satan being the representative head. When Satan was defeated, the kingdom of darkness was defeated. When Satan was banished to the pit, so also was the beast. When Satan is released before the second coming so also is the beast. The 3 1/2 years (whether literal or symbolic) closely correlate with Satan's little season.
Revelation 20 actually takes us back to the first resurrection - where Jesus conquered, sin, death, Hades and Satan. It shows the spiritual binding of Satan in order to enlighten the Gentiles. When Christ bound Satan’s kingdom through His life, death and resurrection then the kingdom of darkness was bound. 2 Peter 2:4, Jude v 6, Revelation 9 and Revelation 20 all prove the whole demonic realm is currently restrained from stopping the free-flow of the Gospel. The bruising of the head of the beast (Revelation 13:3, 13:12 and 13:14) correlates with the bruising of the head of Satan 2,000 years ago through the earthly ministry of Christ (Genesis 3:15). They correspond with the spiritual binding imprisoning of Satan during the millennial period. These are figurative metaphors describing the impairment of the kingdom of darkness 2000 years ago.
Matthew 12:22-29, Mark 3:11, 23-27, Luke 10:18-19, Luke 11:20-22, John 12:31-33 Colossians 2:13-15, Hebrews 2:14-15, I John 3:8, Revelation 9:1-11, Revelation 12:7-9 and Revelation 20:2 prove Satan was cast out, bound, defeated, incapacitated, divested of power, disarmed, brought to naught, undone, stripped and spiritually imprisoned through Christ's sinless life, atoning death and triumphant resurrection. Colossians 2:15 tells us: “having spoiled (or divested or disarmed) principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Satan has not been rendered immobile or inoperative but is limited in his power, kingship and influence by being defeated on the cross. He is like a dog on a chain. He is shackled.
Next the martyred great tribulation saints are resurrected.
Next they rule with Christ for a thousand years.
Firstly, the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet's activity are not simply restricted to 42 months before Christ's Coming.
Secondly, the beast represents the ongoing reign of Satan on the earth throughout time through the world secular anti-Christ system. It is not an end-time invention as Futurist's imagine.
Thirdly, Revelation is not chronological. It is a number of recaps describing the same intra-Advent period. The end of the millennium and Satan's "little season" corresponds with the end time persecution spoke elsewhere in Revelation and in other Scripture. The millennium does not follow Revelation 17-19 in time, but rather parallels it. Revelation 20 is the last of 7 recapitulations.
Fourthly, martyrdom was/is never limited to 42 months at the end. Every informed Bible student knows that. Martyrdom has occurred since the stoning of Stephen. Millions have been butchered by the beast system for their faith in the OT and NT, in the early Church, under the jackboot of Romanism, and right up until today. To limit martyrdom to 42 months at the end exposes your theological bias, your ignorance of history and your lack of objectivity.
Next at the end of the thousand years, Satan is loosed from prison a for a short time to deceive the nations and to gather them for a big attack on Jerusalem.
God sends fire down from heaven and destroy the attackers. And Satan is cast into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet will already be.
Just before the second coming, Satan gets a little season to wreak havoc on the Church. When Satan is released before the second coming for a little season then so is the beast, and Satan's minions. We see the devils in Revelation 9:2-3, the beast in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12, Revelation 11:7 and Revelation 17:8, and Satan in Revelation 9:10-11 and Revelation 20:3 all being released before the second coming for a little season. Then comes the end! But Christ comes in majestic and eternal glory to overthrow the kingdom of darkness forever. The demonic realm is all killed when Satan is destroyed at the climactic second coming (Isaiah 26:19-27:1, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, Revelation 19:20, 20:9-10).
I don't see how any of those things can be a parallel camera view - because the events in Revelation 20 don't parallel the same events previously viewed from a different camera.
Basically I think the Amil position on Revelation 20 is the events of Revelation 20 have be recorded as happened in other parts of the bible.
The problem for Amil's position is that there are no matches.
This is your own bias personal opinion (which you are entitled to) but doesn't prove anything or negate the teaching of the inspired text.
