6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
How are people going to reign with Jesus for 1,000 years if they are not resurrected? Clearly the first resurrection comes before the 1,000 years.

Also ,to be resurected from the dead is to be brought back from the dead To be raised from the dead.
I was dead twice but they revived me with a defibulator to get my heart going again. It is amazing when the heart stops we pass out within seconds. The brain completely shuts down and I do not remember anything that happened after I blacked out.

The Bible does talk about the tree of life and how that is given for healing.
  • New Jerusalem: In the Book of Revelation, the Tree of Life reappears in the New Jerusalem, symbolizing the restoration and eternal life promised to believers.
  • Revelation 22:2 (NIV): "On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations."

So when does the New Jerusalem come down from Heaven?

Revelation 21:1-2 (NIV):​

  1. New Heaven and New Earth: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea."
  2. The Holy City: "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."

It does make sense that there would be no resurrection until the new earth. But there was a resurrection when the veil in the temple was torn. So what happened to them? We assume they went to Heaven because Jesus was resurrected and He went to Heaven.

Resurrection of the Dead: This is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew.

  • Matthew 27:52-53 (NIV): "The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people."

They may not have went to heaven too.

The first resurection in revelation 20 is of Israel
They are 144000 who are the first to be redeemed from the ground.


Revelation 14​

King James Version​

14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.



The resurection of Israel is also described in Ezekiel 37 ,before Gog invades the land of Israel in Ezekiel 38.

Ezekiel 37-39 describe the same events in revelation 20.

How are people going to reign with Jesus for 1,000 years if they are not resurrected? Clearly the first resurrection comes before the 1,000 years.
"Two Resurrections Are Seen Below"

1.) First Resurrection Righteous Saved
2.) Second Death Resurrection Lake Of Fire

There are "TWO" resurrections that take place on "The Last Day" the righteous are blessed to be in the "First Resurrection" to eternal life, the wicked take part in the "Second Death Resurrection" to the Lake Of Fire

Revelation 20:5-6 & 13-14KJV
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Jesus Christ in his very own words tells the reader that the resurrection and final judgment of "All" takes place on "The Last Day"

The saved believers are "Blessed" to partake in the "First Ressurection" to eternal life, the "Second Death Resurrection" has no power over them

You've been shown this biblical truth before your eyes, will you continue to teach of "Multiple" different times of resurrections?


John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

The "Last Day Resurrection" All That Are In The Graves

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Pretty simple, Jesus returns and the resurrection of "All" takes place, "Then Cometh The End" no mortal millennial kingdom on this earth following

1 Corinthians 15:21-24KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end
, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

So we are with Jesus for 1,000 years in Heaven but we do not receive our body back until the end of the 1,000 years?

Is it one day or a thousand years below?

"It's neither" the words are doing nothing more than telling the reader there isn't literal time in the Lord's eternal spiritual

You have been shown "Several Times" that Revelation 20:1-6 is 100% in the Lord's eternal spiritual realm, (The Souls) (The Dead) where no literal time exist, the words (Thousand Years) below could be a (Trillion Years)

2 Peter 3:8KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The Bible is ALWAYS literal first and symbolic second. We only teach the literal Bible to our sunday school students. They do not learn the meaning of the symbolism until they go into the sanctuary to hear the sermons. I have been to churches where the pastor only has a 2-year associate degree. But they depend on the Holy Spirit and do an amazing job of explaining the symbolism behind the literal temple that was destroyed in 70 AD.

IF you think the Bible is not literal, then you missed the boat. If you do not know what the literal meaning of missing the boat means. It means if YOU are not there when the boat leaves, it is going to leave without you and you are going to get left behind. You have only the clothing on your back because the boat took all your stuff without you.

Now you want to say the Bible is not literal, symbolic or objective. You seem to think the Bible is subjective and nothing can be further from the truth. Jesus died to reconcile us with the father, but Jesus also died to reconcile us with each other.

Jesus' Mission:​

Jesus' sacrifice has profound significance:

  • Reconciliation with the Father: Jesus' death and resurrection are central to Christian belief in reconciliation with God, offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
  • Reconciliation with Each Other: Jesus also taught about love, forgiveness, and unity among people, emphasizing the importance of reconciling with each other.
These aspects of Jesus' mission are crucial in understanding the holistic message of the Gospel.

Your claims is false and a diversion

I stated Revelation 20:1-6 is in the Lord's Spiritual, Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ, All 100% in the spiritual realm, and spiritual beings

I stated that in the Lord's realm there isn't earthly time, rather its explained as one day is a thousand years, "Not Literal Time On Earth"

Stop diverting away from my statements made, on the Bible there is literal and symbolic, was Jesus Christ a literal "Lamb" no!

No such thing as reconciliation with the unsaved wicked world, or with wolves in sheep's clothing that pretend they are saved believing Christians

Of course not: "with each other" means we become a part of the Church of Christ. Sitting in a building does not make you a member of the church. You have to be washed and cleansed in the Precious Blood of Jesus. Then together we become one in Christ. The Bride of Christ.

Where does this supposed "1,000 years reign of Christ on earth" fit within this passage that shows what will happen on the day Christ returns?

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Does it matter to you if your interpretation of Revelation 20 lines up with the rest of scripture or not? When Jesus returns, He will burn up the heavens, the elements and the earth. Tell me what mortals can possibly survive this to populate a supposed reign of Christ on earth after that?

In verse 13 above, what is "his promise" that is the basis for us to "look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness"? That would be His promise of coming again as Peter referenced in 2 Peter 3:4, right? Peter talked about how scoffers scoff at that promise of His second coming. But, they will be among those who have fire come down upon them when Jesus returns "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thess 1:7-8).
That's not what Paul says will happen at Christ's return, He says Jesus comes in clouds of glory and we go to meet Him in the air. He will destroy Antichrist by His appearing and the breath of His mouth. There's no loud bangs or fervent heat.

The Rapture runs a coach and horses through your interpretation. Why? because God is pledged never to destroy the whole earth with the righteous alongside the wicked. That's why we see the rainbow in the sky. Before God destroys the creation He must take the church out.

Paul says the creation will be set free from it's bondage. The other apostles knew nothing about these things. They thought the Jerusalem church should be the centre of the knew kingdom. They forgot that Jesus said there would be a delay. They did not know that the church was to be in the nations PREACHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

But you preach there is to be no kingdom. When Jesus comes He come to reign.

The loud bangs and fervent heat comes after the 1, 000 years

Revelation 20:1-6 Isnt A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Dont Be Deceived​


Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?
2.) Physical Earthly Throne?
3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
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.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Yes the day of the Lord is the 1, 000 years
Yes Satan is to be bound 1,000 years then loosed [where in Heaven?] among the nations
Yes 2 resurrections the first is the resurrection of the righteous aka the rapture, the second the resurrection unto judgement 1, 000 years after
They shall reign with Christ 1, 000 years

Your claim is "False", when Jesus returns its "Fire Time" (The End) Read It Again And Again, The Lord's Fire Isn't Going To Be Removed At His Second Coming

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Your repetition will not make you correct. Both 1. Corinthians and Revelations make it plain that the resurrection is in stages First the resurrection of those in Christ aka the rapture. Then the resurrection of the living and the dead.
Revelations say there is 1, 000 years between these resurrections.

Your claim is 100% "False"

There are untold millions of saved believers teaching and believing that Jesus returns in fire and final judgement dissolving this earth by fire (The End) no Millennial Kingdom on this earth will take place after the second coming
This is because the Roman church in the 4th century decided to shelve the teaching of the 1, 000 years reign. How dare they do this?

"there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time: at that time thy people shall be delivered, even every one that is written in the book.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame."​


Daniel 12:1-2
And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time: at that time thy people shall be delivered, even every one that is written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.
The people in Daniel's day did not understand that a person's spirit does not ever die and that his spirit does not ever sleep.

Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.”

We know now that when a person dies, he is immediately judged by Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:27), and then his spirit goes to his own prepared place where he will await Jesus' second coming to receive his resurrected body. When a person dies, if he is judged worthy to inherit life, his spirit enters into heaven, and so he has no fear of the second death. If this person is judged to be not worthy to inherit eternal life, he will then enter into the everlasting fire of hell, which is the second death.



The Jews caused great tribulation to the Christians. This great tribulation by the Jews against the Christians lasted for almost 40 years. The Romans also beat and killed the Christians.

The Jews stone Stephen to death:

Acts 7:57-59 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

The Jews condoned the apostle James' murder by Herod:

Acts 12:1-3 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.

Jesus said the scribes and Pharisee Jews killed the prophets.

Matthew 23:29-35 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.


Saul was one of these murdering Pharisee Jews before his Damascus encounter with Jesus:

Acts 9:1-3 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.

Acts 5:40-41 And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.


The Romans beat the apostle Paul and the disciple Silas:

Acts 16:20-24 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” 22 Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

Paul writes to the Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 4:10-12 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

2 Corinthians 11:25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

The Great Tribulation was in the first century AD in "this generation," just as Jesus prophesied.

"False" at the final judgement death and hell will be cast into the Lake Of Fire (Eternally)

Revelation 20:14KJV
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
The lake of fire, Hell, is eternal. Hades, the abode of all the righteous dead before Jesus died on the cross, is sometimes misinterpreted in various Bible versions as hell, and it (Hades) will be cast into the lake of fire (hell).

Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. nkjv

When Jesus comes, He come to reign.
We live in the Holy Spirit age, era or dispensation. Yet there is no Holy Sprit that we can see.
Amillentials say it will be the same with the kingdom age.

1. Premillennialism

  • Belief: Christ will return before (pre-) the Millennium, a literal 1,000-year reign on Earth.
  • Event Order: Christ's return, a period of tribulation, the Millennium, then the final judgment and the creation of a new heaven and earth.
  • Subcategories: Historic Premillennialism and Dispensational Premillennialism.

2. Amillennialism

  • Belief: The Millennium is symbolic, representing the current church age from Christ's resurrection to His return.
  • Event Order: Christ's return and final judgment occur at the end of this symbolic Millennium.
  • Interpretation: The 1,000 years in Revelation is not a literal time period but a symbol of Christ's spiritual reign through the church.

3. Postmillennialism

  • Belief: Christ will return after (post-) the Millennium, a golden age of Christian prosperity and dominance.
  • Event Order: The church age leads into a Millennium of Christian influence, followed by Christ's return, final judgment, and the new creation.
  • Outlook: Optimistic about the gradual spread of the gospel and transformation of society.

What is the word in the original language for hell and hades? I attended a church where the associate pastor preached that hell was a place where worms do not die and the fire is not quenched. But that is to what Isaiah is talking about. He is talking about armegadda. While some interpret this as referring to a physical place like Armageddon, others see it as a broader metaphor for God's judgment. This was basicly a garbage dump where they took the waste to burn it.

  • Isaiah 66:24:
    • "And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
  • Mark 9:48:
    • "where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched."

Hebrew (Old Testament):​

  • Sheol (שְׁאוֹל): Often translated as "the grave" or "the pit," Sheol is a general term for the place of the dead. It is a shadowy place where all the dead go, both the righteous and the wicked.
  • Gehinnom (גֵּיהִנּוֹם): Referring to the Valley of Hinnom near Jerusalem, it became associated with a place of fiery judgment and punishment. This term is often translated as "hell" in English.

Greek (New Testament):​

  • Hades (ᾅδης): The Greek equivalent of Sheol, Hades is the realm of the dead. It is sometimes used synonymously with "hell," but it generally refers to the temporary abode of the dead before the final judgment.
  • Gehenna (γέεννα): Similar to Gehinnom in Hebrew, Gehenna is used in the New Testament to describe a place of eternal fiery punishment. Jesus often referred to Gehenna to warn of the consequences of sin

Yes the day of the Lord is the 1, 000 years
Yes Satan is to be bound 1,000 years then loosed [where in Heaven?] among the nations
Yes 2 resurrections the first is the resurrection of the righteous aka the rapture, the second the resurrection unto judgement 1, 000 years after
They shall reign with Christ 1, 000 years
I disagree, Jesus returns in fire and final judgement dissolving this earth by fire (The End) there won't be a millennial kingdom on earth following (Its Dissolved, Gone)
