[SIZE=+1]The Revelation of Yeshua is now Kabbalah?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Do the following two statements not appear almost identical to you?[/SIZE]

. . . you tried to suggest to me that there might be a whole new ''humanoid race'' to inhabit the so-called ''millennial kingdom'' . . .
And how is it that an android holographic image would be any more of an abomination then some of the things which people now already put into the vain imaginations in the inner chambers of their imagery?

. . . the Scripture clearly teaches that the believer is now the temple of the Holy Spirit.
These are only a few examples of the multitude of sixes found in the Ezekiel Temple of a man; and its number is the number of a man, and the number is Six-hundred, Sixty, and Six…
Ezekiel was a prophet. John of Patmos was a fraud. Ezekiel describes the Temple, John of Patmos plays with riddles and games of gematria, I suspect it gave him something to do when he was isolated on Patmos. I am totally convinced that Revelation is not of God. But I don't expect to convince anyone, as they in the Western Church put it into the bible, after 500 years of hesitation, and now we are stuck with it.
It's in the bible, so it must be the Word of God.
Not the millennium, but the new earth: Isa. 65:20 could refer to a new race of humans created along with the new earth (Isa. 65:17), but which will fall into sin & mortality like Adam & Eve did. But even as mortals, they could live for ~900 years, like Adam & generations after him lived that long (Gen. 5:5-27), so that if 1 of them dies at 100 years old, it will be like he died in his youth (Isa. 65:20b). Isa. 65:20 can't refer to any humans born on our present earth, for by the time the new earth is created (Rev. 21:1), all humans born on our present earth who got saved & remained obedient will have been resurrected or changed into immortal bodies (Rev. 21:4, 1 Cor. 15:21-23,51-53, Rom. 8:23-25), & all who didn't get saved or who remained disobedient will have been cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8, 20:10,15, 14:10-11, Isa. 66:22,24, Mt. 25:41,46, Mk. 9:45-46). The resurrected, immortal humans could minister to the new race of fallen, mortal humans (Isa. 65:20) in the same way angels now minister to us (Heb. 1:14), for resurrected, immortal humans will be equal to the angels (Lk. 20:36).
The Antichrist's (the AC's) android image (see post 15) could be placed standing in the holy place of a 3rd Jewish temple in Jerusalem, so that the image will become the abomination of desolation (Mt. 24:15, Dan. 11:31). And in order to make it easy for everyone in the world to be able to see the image & worship it (Rev. 13:15), it could appear on every cell phone, television, work computer, home computer, GPS navigation system, & electronic billboard at set times each day. And to make it possible for everyone to interact with it personally, it could appear as a computer generated image on each individual's cell phone, speaking in & understanding each individual's language, conversing with each individual with personalized messages & responses devised by supercomputers running artificial intelligence & language software.
And it could discuss with them even the most intimate details of their lives, for it could have access to huge databases compiled by the AC's worldwide intelligence, law enforcement, economic, & health agencies, databases containing all the facts about everyone: who their family & friends are, where they live & work, who their neighbors & coworkers are, how much they make, what cars & properties they own & use, where they go, where they shop, what they buy, where they eat out, what shows & videos they watch, what they read, what they say, what they write on the internet, what their health problems are, etc., so that the AC's image could seem to know everything about everyone.
And the worship of the image could be connected with a daily surveillance & subjugation of everyone. For the image's supercomputers could make his image automatically appear on everyone's cell phone at set times every day to be worshipped. Cell phones contain GPS chips which can be secretly pinged in order to determine the exact location of the cell phones. So when the image appears on everyone's cell phone, the image's supercomputers could ping the GPS chip of everyone's cell phone & know exactly where everyone is.
Also, cell phones contain cameras & microphones, which can be remotely opened secretly in order to see & hear what's going on around the cell phones. So when the image appears on everyone's cell phone, the image's supercomputers could open the cameras & microphones of everyone's cell phone to determine what everyone's doing & saying, & the image could then demand the individuals worship him as God, saying some set prayer of praise & adoration. And if any individual refuses, the image's supercomputers could detect that individual's non-compliance, & notify the nearest police officer of that individual's exact location, & order the officer to arrest that individual for blasphemy & treason. The offending individual could then be given a chance to be "reformed" (in a brainwashing camp, or through physical torture, if necessary), but if he proves recalcitrant he'll be executed (Rev. 13:15) by being beheaded (Rev. 20:4).
While each Christian's individual human body is a temple of God/the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19), it coexists with the figurative temple building of the church as a whole (Eph. 2:21), & with the literal temple building in heaven (Rev. 11:19), & with the temple of Jesus' individual human body (Jn. 2:21). And if each Christian's individual human body-temple can currently coexist with all these other temples of God, it will be able to coexist with the future, 3rd-earthly-literal temple building which the scriptures show will exist during the coming tribulation (Rev. 11:1-2, Mt. 24:15, Dan. 11:31,36, 2 Thes. 2:4), which 3rd temple building will be accepted by God as a valid temple, just as the 2nd temple building was accepted by God as a valid temple, even at the time of Jesus' 1st coming (Mt. 23:21) & even at the time of the early church (Lk. 24:53, Acts 22:17).
For the ultra-Orthodox Jews will build the 3rd temple, & will offer animal sacrifices in front of it, under the auspices of the Old Covenant Mosaic law (the OCML), which remains holy before God (Rom. 7:12). That's why God still keeps an ark of the OCML in his temple building in heaven (Rev. 11:19), & why it was possible for Paul 1 time to involve himself with the 2nd temple's OCML practices without him committing sin (Acts 21:20-26, 1 Cor. 9:20). This isn't to say the Jesus-denying motives of the ultra-Orthodox Jews will be holy before God, but that the OCML 3rd temple in itself & its animal sacrifices in themselves will be holy before God because the OCML in itself remains holy before God (Rom. 7:12), even though its letter is no longer meant to be practiced by people (Rom. 7:6) because the New Covenant has been inaugurated by Jesus & his once-for-all-time sacrifice on the Cross for our sins (Heb. 10:1-23, Mt. 26:28).
The six hundred & sixty-six in Rev. 13:17c-18 refers to the "number of the name" of the individual "man" who's the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast). The number of a name is determined by employing the ancient method of gematria, by which numerical values are assigned to the letters of any alphabet as follows: the 1st 9 letters are 1 through 9, the next 9 letters are 10 through 90 (counting by tens), & the rest of the letters are 100, 200, 300, etc., to the end of the alphabet. In Rev. 13:18, the "counting", the adding up, of the gematrial number of the Antichrist's name should be done in the same way the gematrial numerical values of the 3 Greek letters (Chi, Xi, & Stigma) at the end of Rev. 13:18 (in the original Greek Textus Receptus, the TR) are added up to arrive at the number six hundred & sixty-six. The numerical values of the letters of the ancient Greek alphabet (including the 3 obsolete letters of Stigma, Qoppa, & Sampi) were as follows:
Alpha = 1, Beta = 2, Gamma = 3, Delta = 4, Epsilon = 5, Stigma = 6, Zeta = 7, Eta = 8, Theta = 9, Iota = 10, Kappa = 20, Lambda = 30, Mu = 40, Nu = 50, Xi = 60, Omikron = 70, Pi = 80, Qoppa = 90, Rho = 100, Sigma = 200, Tau = 300, Upsilon = 400, Phi = 500, Chi = 600, Psi = 700, Omega = 800, Sampi = 900.
Just as the numerical values of Chi, Xi, & Stigma at the end of Rev. 13:18 (TR) add up to 666, so the numerical values of the letters in the Antichrist's name will add up to 666 (Rev. 13:17c-18). John used the Greek alphabet only because it was the most common 1 used by believers when Rev. was written. Today, the English alphabet is the most common 1 used by believers, insofar as English is the current lingua franca of the world. So the Antichrist's name will most likely add up to 666 in the English alphabet.
