What is the purpose of the thousand-year reign of Christ?

[Truth7t7]

I don't know how that might work out. But there is always at chance that there will be very few deaths among the mortal survivors during this time. In the beginning of time some men lived very long lives, Adam being a good example. And he did that in a fallen state. It is then not unreasonable to conclude that mortals could live an entire thousand years, thus still be alive when satan is loosed. Some Premils apparently also believe procreation among the mortals will continue on throughout the millennium. Can't say I exactly agree with that myself. Nor do I agree any animal sacrificing will be taking place.

You can't show a earthly kingdom in Revelation 20:1-6 either, you will bend and twist in trying to create a earthly kingom, "That Isn't There"

angel, heaven, devil, satan, the souls, the dead, God, Christ, 100% in the Lords spiritual realm of "No Earthly Time"

You will in 100% error turn to chapters in the old testament, in misrepresentation of the "Eternal Kingdom" trying desperately to turn the "Eternal" into a earthly 1000 year kingdom, 100% error.

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.


Consider that 36 inches , 3 ft and 1 yard are the very same distance even though there are number''s 36 , 3 and 1 they are the same

Scripture tells us that a day with the Lord is as 1000 years with mankind, and 1000 years with mankind is as 1 day with the Lord . The spiritual/supernatural realm is the past present and future all in the now, as in there is no difference ,

but just as when we need to make a comparison say, to know how many inches are in a mile we have a basis in which to make a comparison.

Scripture is telling us that the closest we can come to comparing passage of time in the natural realm to that of the supernatural realm is 1000 years in the natural realm is as 1 day in the supernatural realm ,

The scripture is also explaining the how's and why to those who say that God is taking too long to do some things as in drawing the plan of God to a close as so many people are suffering and why doesn't God do something to speed things up to stop the suffering.

Explaining that God is longsuffering that he wants EVERYONE to have the chance to spend eternity with the Creator

When scripture speaks of That Day of the Lord we do not see where it refers to a given day of the week as in Friday or Monday but the scripture in this context is making direct reference to the Day in the Lord is a one thousand year time span as that is the time span of a day in the supernatural realm

This really fits perfectly with Rev 20.
God is telling us that us that after the 1000 years satan is set free for a short time then he and all who he conned into following him are cast into the lake of fire, and death is defeated and from that point on the only realm that will exist is the spiritual/supernatural realm ,

At the end of the Millennium- at the end of THAT Day of the Lord the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up

You seem to prefer that the heavens pass away at the very instant the Lords Day begins
which you need to take into account that the piece of the puzzle must line up with the rest of Gods plan of redemption !,

Between the 2 options of heavens passing away at the very instant of the start of the Lords Day and it happening at the end of the Lords Day
the only choice that fits all of scripture of Gods plan of redemption is that the heavens and the earth pass away at the end of the Lord's Day

 

[Truth7t7]

No the Day Of The Lord does not last 1000 earthly years, your personal teaching in error.

One day is a Thousand in 2 Peter 3:8 clearly teaches, there is no earthly time in the Lords eternal realm, nothing more or less

"The Day Of The Lord" will take place at the second coming of Jesus Christ "As A Thief In The Night", as the heavens and earth are dissolved by the Lords fire in judgment.

Verses 13-14 clearly instructs the believer to look for the New Heaven And Earth, not a false 1000 year kingdom on earth.

As God clearly teaches he will return in fire in judgment "That You Disregard"

2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Luke 17:29-30, Malachi 3:2, Nahum 1:5, Revelation 20:9, Isaiah 24:20, 1 Corinthians 3:13

2 Peter 3:7-14King James Version (KJV)
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
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.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
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.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

[Denadii]

You act as if your millennial kingdom takes place after the return of Jesus?

The earth is burned up, as Zechariah 14:12 shows the day of the Lord take place, as men are dissolved by the Lords fire, eyes, tongues, bodies.
2 Peter 3:10-13, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Luke 17:29-30, Revelation 20:9, Nahum 1:5, Micah 3:2, Isaiah 24:20, 1 Corinthians 3:13

You disregard Jesus returns in fire judgment, as you continue to believe in error this earth remains, "It Is Dissolved By Fire"

When you understand, When Jesus returns with the Holy angels, the final judgment, eternal kingdom takes place, please read Matthew 25:31-46 do you disregard the fact in verse 46 the believer receives "Eternal Life", and enters the "Eternal Kingdom" in verse 34.

You pretend like Matthew 25:46 does not exist in the Holy Bible, read it again, "Eternal Life"

When Jesus returns its "Eternal Life/Eternal Kingdom"!

Your Earthly 1000 year kingdom is "Gone" on this one scripture alone, God doesn't lie his word is true, read it again Matthew 25:46 "Eternal Life"

This shows a very convoluted timeline. Try again.

 

[Truth7t7]

This shows a very convoluted timeline. Try again.

Matthew 25:31-46 we see Jesus returns with the holy angels in the final judgment, eternal kingdom.
in verse 46 we see the righteous obtain "Eternal Life" as they enter the "Eternal Kingdom" in verse 34, as the wicked are judged to the lake of fire in verse 41

Is that also a skewed timeline

 

[DavidPT]

You can't show a earthly kingdom in Revelation 20:1-6 either, you will bend and twist in trying to create a earthly kingom, "That Isn't There"

Give you definition of an earthly kingdom. Because if it has to involve animal sacrificing, for instance, I'm not one who believes that.

 

[Truth7t7]

When you can properly understand what 2 Peter is saying you will then be able to see the error in your view, as long as you refuse to accept this simple truth you will just not get it

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

 

[BABerean2]

At the end of THAT Day of the Lord the heavens and earth will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up

We find Paul revealing in 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 that Christ returns in "flaming fire".

2Th 1:7　 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,　

2Th 1:8　 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:　

2Th 1:9　 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;　

2Th 1:10　 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.　



We have Christ making it clear that the angels gather and burn the tares first at His Second Coming in Matthew chapter 13, before the wheat is gathered into the barn.

Mat 13:41　 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;　

Mat 13:42　 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.　

Mat 13:43　 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.　


We have the judgment of the nations at His Second Coming in Matthew 25:31-46.
At that time the goats are cast into the fire, not 1,000 years later.

We have the judgment of both the living and the dead in the verse below.

2Ti 4:1　 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
　

We have "the time of the judgment of the dead" in Revelation 11:18, along with "the nations" and "wrath" as well as reward and destruction.


Rev 11:18　 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."　


How does all of the above fit into your viewpoint of Revelation chapter 20?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

You can't show a earthly kingdom

God showed it.
Apparently you have read it and other in His Word that shows it clearly,
but He has hardened your heart or not taken the veil away ...
If God does not grant it , there is no understanding.

Perhaps the large number of people on earth who oppose God's Word have influenced you ? (i.e. the group you are in, if any, or that you trust in place of God's Explanation)

 

[Riberra]

We have the judgment of the nations at His Second Coming in Matthew 25:31-46.
At that time the goats are cast into the fire, not 1,000 years later.

We have the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19 where the Nations will be assembled to make war against Jesus at His Coming...

Strangely Revelation 19:20 tell us that ONLY THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET WILL BE CAST ALIVE IN THE LAKE OF FIRE [AT THAT MOMENT]....ALL THE OTHER [SINNERS]GATHERED AT ARMAGEDDON WILL BE SLAIN BY JESUS AND THE BIRDS WILL EAT THEIR FLESH...Revelation 19:21

So you are saying that Jesus is lying when He said in Revelation 20:4-6 that ALL those who will not be part of the FIRST RESURRECTION that will hapen at His Coming will be Judged 1,000 Years LATER.

 

[BABerean2]

So you are saying that Jesus is lying when He said in Revelation 20:4-6 that ALL those who will not be part of the FIRST RESURRECTION that will hapen at His Coming will be Judged 1,000 Years LATER.

You added the part about the "first resurrection" in Revelation 20:4-6 being... "at His Coming".

"at His Coming" is not in that text.

Jesus cannot be lying, because he did not say what you are claiming.
It is your assumption, based on your viewpoint of the passage.


So are you saying that Jesus is lying when he said the "time of the judgment of the dead" is at Revelation 11:18?


Are you saying that Jesus is lying when He said the judgment of the sheep and goats is
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him..."
in Matthew 25:31-46?


Are you saying that Paul is lying when he said that Christ returns in "flaming fire" in 2 Thessalonians chapter 1?


Are you saying that Timothy is lying when he says Christ will judge both the living and the dead at his "appearing" in 2 Timothy 4:1?


Are you saying that Paul was lying in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 when he said that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom?

.

 

[Riberra]

You added the part about the "first resurrection" in Revelation 20:4-6 being... "at His Coming".

"at His Coming" is not in that text.

-Are you denying that Revelation 19:1-21 is about Jesus returning on the Earth ?

-Are you denying that what is written in Revelation 20:1-6 happen at His Coming ?

-Another question: Are you also denying that Jesus have been resurrected in His FLESH and BONES BODY ?

Luke 24:36-42
36And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43And he took it, and did eat before them.

 

[BABerean2]

-Are you denying that Revelation 19:1-21 is about Jesus returning on the Earth ?

-Are you denying that what is written in Revelation 20:1-6 happen at His Coming ?

No. Revelation chapter 19 is about His Second Coming.

Christ bound the "strong man" at Calvary.
Based on the text below we know the wicked angels have already been bound.
You have claimed before that this is only a select group of angels, but that is not what the text says. It says angels that sinned in one verse and those who left their "first estate" (heaven) in the other verse.
That would include all of the angels who followed Satan in rebellion against God.


2Pe_2:4　 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jud_1:6　 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.


Christ disarmed Satan and the power of darkness at the Cross, and made a public spectacle of Satan by triumphing over him.
Vanquished enemies were often put in chains after the victory, in ancient times.

Col 2:15　 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.　


However, just like a mean dog on a long chain, Satan can still cause great harm to those who get within his reach.
That would include all of those who do not belong to Christ.

Also remember that Paul still conducted his ministry from prison, while he was bound in chains.

The "first resurrection" found in Revelation chapter 20 is found in John 5:24.
I once was dead and now am alive.

The "souls" that John saw in heaven at the beginning of Revelation chapter 20 have already undergone the John 5:24 event, when they were "Born Again".




Christ has a glorified, incorruptible, body made of glorified flesh and bones, capable of going through a wall.
It is not the corruptible body that you and I now have.
Paul made it clear in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 that corruptible bodies will not see the kingdom of God.


1Co 15:49　 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.　
1Co 15:50　 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.　
1Co 15:51　 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—　
1Co 15:52　 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.　
1Co 15:53　 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.　
1Co 15:54　 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY."　

.

 

[seventysevens]

No. Revelation chapter 19 is about His Second Coming.
.

The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended.

Can you tell us precisely in YOUR OWN WORDS not merely copy/paste scripture; and not a video as I do not watch your videos
How YOU define what this scripture is telling the reader and why God chose to put it in HIS Word ?

 

[Denadii]

Matthew 25:31-46 we see Jesus returns with the holy angels in the final judgment, eternal kingdom.
in verse 46 we see the righteous obtain "Eternal Life" as they enter the "Eternal Kingdom" in verse 34, as the wicked are judged to the lake of fire in verse 41

Is that also a skewed timeline

These are events that happen during the time of Jesus' second coming. These two events that you mention are not the timeline.
You've taken five verses and built a doctrine on them while ignoring all the other verses on this subject...That means you've missed the largest part of the teaching and gotten it all wrong.
Jesus returns....His feet touch the Earth... He gathers all of the believers...He sets up His Earthly rule....Satan and his minions are bound.....Jesus rules, and we with Him, for a thousand years...THEN everybody is gathered up, the Earth spins out of its orbit, a ball of fire....The Great White Throne judgement takes space in the Earth occupied....The unbelievers, fallen angels, and every ungodly thing is cast into the lake of fire.....God recreates the Earth and heavens again. Jesus and bride and the remaining believers go to heaven

 

[Riberra]

Christ has a glorified, incorruptible, body made of glorified flesh and bones, capable of going through a wall.
It is not the corruptible body that you and I now have.
Paul made it clear in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 that corruptible bodies will not see the kingdom of God.

Thus John 5:24 cannot be about the BODILY Resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6 because ONLY JESUS have been raised with a glorified, incorruptible, body made of glorified flesh and bones, capable of going through a wall.

 

[Truth7t7]

God builds the doctrine as clearly seen in Matthew 25:31-46, you can't run or hide from its truth

When Jesus returns with the Holy angels, the final judgment, eternal life, eternal kingdom takes place.

Verse 31-32 Jesus returns with the angels, the nations are gathered before the throne for judgment.

Verse 34 the "Eternal Kingdom" is offered to the righteous.

Verse 41 the wicked are judged to the eternal lake of fire

Verse 46 the righteous obtain "Eternal Life" and enter the "Eternal Kingdom" in verse 34

Thats God's Truth

 

[Riberra]

Based on the text below we know the wicked angels have already been bound.

2Pe_2:4　 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jud_1:6　 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

What about the 4 ANGELS bound under the river Euphrates, why they were not bound at the same place than the others that sinned ?

Is it because they have not sinned at the same time ?

Is it because they are more dangerous than Satan and His fallen angels Revelation 9:12-21?

Revelation 9:12-21
12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.

 

[BABerean2]

Thus John 5:24 cannot be about the BODILY Resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6

Once again you are adding the word "bodily" to the text, of the beginning of Revelation chapter 20.

John saw "souls" in heaven, which have no body.

The "time of the judgment of the dead" is way back at Revelation 11:18.
You cannot have a judgment of the dead, without a bodily resurrection of the dead.

Therefore, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation chapter 20 cannot be the first bodily resurrection.
The first resurrection found in John chapter 5, is at John 5:24.

The second resurrection found in John chapter 5 is of the body and is found in John 5:27-30.

Why don't you tell me about the 4 angels bound under the Euphrates, because I cannot say anything other than what is in the text.
