You can believe anything you want, I disagree, and I think your interpretation of that verse is way off.

This is apocalyptic language. It is not literal.
I have nothing more to add to this conversation.
Adieu to you.

Thus, what you should have actually concluded

This is my opinion. You may certainly choose to understand that verse literally but I do not want to

That is irrelevant to my point about Rev 20:7, but yes, its need not meant literally eagle wings. That is an opinion


1 Thess is about the rapture of the Body of Christ, which is different from the 2nd coming of Christ for the nation of Israel, which is the subject of Rev 20.

That's why we don't count sins against people,
You might not, but Christ certainly does.

Revelation 3:3 "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon you."

Revelation 3:4 "Thou hast a few names even in Sar'-dis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Revelation 3:5 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."


This has everything to do with people, seeing how Satan is not written in the book of life.

Prophetic language is not meant to be a literal language. Some events may overlap. Some events may be almost the same as other events even though they are used comparatively.

Jesus said:

Matthew 12:40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth.

However, Jesus was literally in the grave from Friday shortly before sunset until very early Sunday morning, which is only two nights, a part of two days and one full day.
