Right, the joke was in how you made the statement rhyme. Easy to miss though.
Maybe that's because it didn't rhyme...

That is not what Revelation 20 says, not even symbolically.No! Many were physically raised, like Lazurus was during Christ's ministry, in a show of the power of the cross. But the dead in Christ were caught up in spirit to heaven to reign with Christ, awaiting the physical resurrection at the end.
Revelation 20 can only happen after 19. It has nothing to do with the church at all. You do not even apply it properly, in forcing it into a time slot it does not belong. Your private interpretation is not doing any justice to God's Word. Changing Scripture to make theology work is not wise, nor rightly dividing the verses.

Being caught up in the spirit is not in Paul's writings. Has the Holy Spirit taken you places? Paul was taken, but brought back. Phillip was taken to different places on earth, but did not die each time. John came to the present, and has not died. John, Enoch (Elijah) have been able to leave and come back at a different time. You spiritualize and symbolize verses in the Bible, yet fail to consider whole principles about God's witnesses. Jesus was not lying about John not dying until the Second Coming.

Where do you come up with this stuff, to present without any scripture to back it up?
.
That is classic Pretrib and Premil.
Stop twisting Scripture, and let the Holy Spirit speak for God’s plan of creation, set forth in Genesis 1-2. Any student of the Bible can create a narrative with dozens of Bible verses. Millions of church leaders do that billions of time each year. At least they used to. Now everything seems too standardized.Stop fighting scripture. Let it speak for itself.
Revelation 20 comes after Revelation 19. The character has not changed. I can read.
I understand fully when Jesus Christ proclaims judgment on the sheep and goats and the wheat and tares.And the 7th trumpet, and the time of the judgment of the dead, with reward for some, and destruction for others is found before Revelation chapter 20. (Revelation 11:15-18)
Can you read that, also?

The Second Coming is the 6th Seal. This time, Jesus Christ will not be here for 3.5 years, nor will there be A Cross. It will be a multiple year ministry. We cannot know the length, but Satan takes over in the Spring of 2023. Jesus Christ does not Co Rule during Satan's 3.5 years, nor does Jesus Christ and some living believers hide out somewhere on earth. Jesus is not hiding out in the earth currently, why would He hide out during Satan's 3.5 years of control?Then you understand that Revelation 11:15-18 would be the Second Coming of Christ.
