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.

If there's no Millennial kingdom on earth, when does the rapture happen?

The resurrection and (Catching Up/Rapture) takes place at the Lord's second coming on the last day

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17KJV

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Paul clearly taught that when Jesus returns the resurrection of the dead takes place, (Then Cometh The End) its that simple (The End) not a 1,000 year kingdom on this earth as many "Falsely" claim

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.

The scripture above is in perfect agreement with Jesus being revealed in fire and brimstone as seen below (Then Cometh The End) as all the unsaved wicked are destroyed at the Lord's return

(Destroyed Them All)


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.

The resurrection of "All" is seen below and the wicked are judged to eternal damnation, this is when the "Final Judgement" takes place (The End)

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.

 Jesus clearly taught that the resurrection of "All" takes place on "The Last Day" this is in perfect agreement with the scripture above


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.

Ok, so the sinful and condemned people have been destroyed and then rapture happens right?

I believe the church on the earth at the second coming is resurrected and caught up as the Lord's cup in fire and wrath is poured out, all men will be judged by this fire, the righteous pass through it to the eternal kingdom, the unsaved wicked are caught in it for eternity (The Lake Of Fire)

I believe the resurrection, catching up, final judgement, takes place in "The Twinkling of an Eye" when mortal becomes immortal, eternity begins for the saved righteous in the New Heavens, Earth, Jerusalem

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.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52KJV
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

I don't think so. There's too many scriptures in there that say, the bride does not endure the wrath of God.

Besides, if the rapture happens after everyone has been destroyed...then when does it happen, that, two women at the mill, one is taken and one oft. two will be in the field, one is taken the other left...???

We get raptured up after it's all over, so meet the Lord in the air of course, and then what? We go to heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? Or we come right back down again, or what?

We Disagree

I was detailed in my explanation, all men's works will be tried by the Lord's last day fire, 1 Corinthians 3:13 is God's truth concerning the matter "All Men's Works"

I showed the resurrection to take place in the twinkling of an eye, mortal becomes immortal, eternity begins

Yes the marriage supper will take place in the eternal kingdom, in the new heaven and earth

Jesus returns in fire and final judgement, at this time the resurrection and final judgement of all takes place, eternity begins in the twinkling of an eye, my response is simple, clear, easy to understand

Questions:

1.) Do you believe in a pre-trib rapture?

2.) Do you believe in a literal 1,000 year kingdom on this earth at the return of Jesus?

I do believe in a pre-trib rapture.

I believe the 1000 year Kingdom will be at the return of Jesus at the 2nd coming (not the rapture)

That may be on the last day fire. To test men's works.

And the rapture does take place in the twinkling of an eye, but at the 2nd Coming. When the Lord comes for His Bride, He comes in the air. And then go to heaven and return with Jesus on His 2nd coming and he comes down to the ground in Mt. of Olives.

So during the Millenium, those saints who were transformed at the rapture will be living on earth and reigning with Him for 1000 years. All the while during the 1000 years, many human people will be having kids and populating the earth and will still have to make a choice to accept the Lord or not and become born again. Satan is bound for this 1000 years so demonic oppression wll not be enticing men to sin. But! The lust of one's heart will lead some astray. The humans heart is wicked and deceitful, who can know it?

While the great tribulation is happening on earth!

Isahiah 26:
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain..../KJV

What chambers and where? Oh! He said, I go to prepare a place for you! So those chambers? It makes sense.

...Until the indignation of the Tribulation is overpast.

It's apparent you follow the teachings of dispensationalism in the standard pre-trib rapture and 1,000 year millennial kingdom on earth promoted by (Dallas Theological Seminary) Hal Lindsey, David Jeremiah, Thomas Ice, Tim La Haye, J. Vernon McGee, Calvary Chapels, Baptist, etc

I Disagree with the teachings that aren't found in scripture as my postings of scripture clearly shows, you can't provide scripture to prove otherwise

The scripture below clearly teaches when Jesus returns its (Then Cometh The End) it also teaches that the resurrection seen takes place on "The Last Day" why do you disregard these facts as if they dont exist?

You falsely believe and teach a literal 1,000 year kingdom will take place after the second coming in disregard of these facts "Why"?

Paul clearly taught that when Jesus returns the resurrection of the dead takes place, (Then Cometh The End) its that simple (The End) not a 1,000 year kingdom on this earth as many "Falsely" claim


1 Corinthians 15:21-24KJV

You will closely note you gave a real big explanation of what you believe and not one scripture was referenced to support it

In Love, Jesus Is The Lord

I Disagree, it's upon the earth as Isaiah clearly explains, why do you continue to disregard the simple facts of scripture in desperately trying to keep your teaching and belief going, that's what dispensationalism is all about, you create something not seen adding to scripture, "Not Good"

In Love, Jesus Is The Lord

Thy/Your Chambers, Thy/Your Doors, The Earth

Isaiah 26:20-21KJV
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

I did post you a couple scriptures. You wont respond about them or ask if I have more (I do!) but instead all you want to do is disparage me and label me? You gonna add me to your list of bad wrong people? Lol.

Sorry Brother, I thought you wanted to talk but I guess not. You sure went ad hominem fast, lol.

That's why I only posted 2 for you, which you ignored. I thought you might want to argue so why waste the effort on you if you will dismiss it all without a word. I have all sorts of good scriptures in my notes about the rapture.

@Edward429451, the key is that the word for "meet" in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 has a specific meaning, that is, referring to city's officials going out to meet a king on his official visit in order to welcome him back to their city. In other words, they come back to the new earth, just as the new Jerusalem does in Revelation 21. The new earth is our final home in the new universe that God makes out of the present earth (Rev. 21:1).

1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
1Th 4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

What?

17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.../NLT

So I don't understand. We're caught up in the air to meet the Lord. It doesn't say anything about welcoming Him to our city.

So how would that work? Jesus comes for His Bride, and then takes us to the Mt of Olives with Him so He can fight and destroy the enemy?

Ok, Honey, I'll pick you up at 7:00 and then go beat the crap out of you and then we'll go to dinner? That doesn't make sense to me.

Zechariah 14 Is The Eternal Kingdom​

Zechariah 14:1-12 below shows the Lords return to earth in fire in final judgement.

(Verse 1) shows "The Day Of The Lord" also seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13 "Fire Judgement" below

(Verse 2) Shows that all nations are gathered for the final battle of armageddon.

(Verses 3-5) shows the Lords return, and his eternal feet touch down on the earthly Mt, of Olives, and in the "Twinkling Of An Eye" 1 Cor 15:52 takes place, in the catching up, resurrection, final judgement by fire, and the New Heavens, Earth, and Jerusalem being revealed for eternity, judgement complete, eternity begins.

(Verses 6-7) Eternal light seen, in the eternal kingdom, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 8) The river of life is seen, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 10) The New creation is being revealed, the plain is lifted up.

(Verse 12) "The Day Of The Lord" showing the "Last Day" judgement by the Lords fire, as men are consumed as they stand on their feet, 2 Peter 3:10-13

2 Peter 3:10KJV
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.

Revelation 22:1KJV
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

"The Eternal Kingdom"!

Zechariah 14:1-12KJV
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lordshall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
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.

Ok let's go from here. If this is true then what should I do with 1 Thessalonians 4:17 in my bible, that I just quoted? If Jesus touches down on the Mt. of Olives and then we get transformed and raptured...then that's not meeting Him in the air like 1 Thess. 4:17 says.

What should I do with that verse, rip it out of my Bible? Or tell me how I am misunderstanding that we are caught up to Jesus in the air.

1 Thessalonians 5:9
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,.../KJV

Revelation 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth..../KJV

I like how the NLT words it too, same verse.
10 “Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world..../NLT

The Great Tribulation is God's wrath poured out upon the earth, seven bowls or 7 vials depending on the version. That is the day of the Lord, right? Ok...

Now tell me who is it in 1 Thess 5:9 that is not appointed to wrath? Who are the ones that in Rev 3:10 have obeyed the Lord and so are protected from the great time of testing of those upon the whole world? Because you have everyone going through it.

As previously shown the event of the second coming of Jesus in the heavens happens quickly, below your shown the resurrection and catching up is in the blink of an eye, yes the Lord removes the church from this earth, and his fire judgement in the cup of wrath is poured upon the unsaved world as the earth is dissolved by the Lord's fire

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17KJV & 1 Corinthians 15:51-52KJV is the same event in parallel teachings, same Trump of God, same resurrection of the dead in Christ, this takes place at the future second coming on the last day

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17KJV
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52KJV
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
