I have never 'ignored' anyone. I do quickly scroll over those who constantly repeat themselves and those promoting theories like Amill.
I have come to realize that people who have chosen to believe in a theory or doctrine, such as Amill, or the fantasy of the rapture to heaven, are locked into their beliefs and are actually incapable of changing.
It is understood that to change your beliefs, is an admission of failure and casts questions on all your other beliefs.
There is only one true and correct way to understand the Prophetic Word. That is the way it is Written in our Bibles.
Amill is a direct contradiction of Revelation 20 and a rejection of the truth of God's 7000 year Plan for mankind.
The 'rapture to heaven' is just sci-fi nonsense. Jesus said many times that such a thing was impossible.
Soon; the Lord will change the world, by instigating His terrible Day of vengeance and wrath. Then, the surviving Christian peoples will finally understand their future role, to prepare the world for the glorious Return of Jesus.
In all the time periods of the Patriarchs, the Kings of Israel and Judah, so carefully given to us and then from the known date of the Babylonian conquest of Judah. These times add exactly to 2000 years from Adam to Abraham, then another 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus. Now we are nearly another 2000 since Jesus and as Prophesied in Revelation 20, we can expect a final thousand years before God's decreed 7000 year time for mankind, is completed.Where is your "7000 year Plan for mankind" in the Bible?

This is the truth of what has happened and what we can expect to happen. No amount of your of anyone's insistence that we are in the Millennium now, can refute this.
I laugh at the idea that Satan is 'bound' now, that Jesus controls the actions of the worlds leaders, that Jesus will destroy the world when He Returns and the complete nonsense of calling Revelation 20 a 'symbolic' chapter.
Question for you: Why has God made sure that we can add the given time periods, to obtain how exactly He has divided the three 2000 years tranches, or dispensations of mans rule, and then told us of the final thousand years when Jesus will rule?
But when do you count since Jesus? His birth? His ministry? H is death? His resurrection?In all the time periods of the Patriarchs, the Kings of Israel and Judah, so carefully given to us and then from the known date of the Babylonian conquest of Judah.

It was 1768 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 4 hours, 10 minutes, and 52 seconds?And from Abrhams death to Jesus was 1767 years.
The really sad part is seeing people grip onto theories and fables that are not Biblical.Sad part is, you really believe you have the answer
That suggest that in 1 year the claims of a 7 year tribulation will start, then the Lord's 7th day of rest in claims of a Millennial Kingdom on this earth?1992 + 4000 = 5992 years, is where we are now. 5992 + 8 = 6000 years
Yes, the 70th week of Daniel may commence next year.That suggest that in 1 year the claims of a 7 year tribulation will start, then the Lord's 7th day of rest in claims of a Millennial Kingdom on this earth?
8 years to go then the 2nd coming?
The really sad part is seeing people grip onto theories and fables that are not Biblical.
7000 years from the Creation to the Completion of Mankind:
Genesis 1:27 Adam was created in 3972.5 BC subtracted back from 586 BCE, with:
Gen 5:3 Seth +130, Gen 5:6 Enoch +105, Gen 5:9 Kenan +90, Gen 5:12 Mahalalel +70, Gen 5:15 Jared +65, Gen 5:18 Enoch +162, Gen 5:21 Methuselah +65, Gen 5:25 Lamech +187, Gen 5:28 Noah+182, Gen 7:6 The Flood came when Noah was +600, Gen 11:10 Our year 2314.5 BC
Arpachshad +2 - born to Shem after the flood. Gen 11:12 Selah +35, Gen 11:14 Heber +30, Gen 11:16 Peleg +34, Gen 11:18 Reu +30, Gen 11:20 Serug +32, Gen 11:22 Nahor +30 , Gen 11:24 Terah +29, Gen 11:26 Abram +70, Abram was +52 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1970.5 BCE He lived in Haran for 23 years, then went to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4 Total years so far = 2000
Genesis 17:1, Abraham was 99 when the Covenant was made with God. +47 Genesis 17:1-8
Galatians 3:17 Paul states that the Law was given +430 after the Covenant. Total years elapsed until the Exodus – 2477, in our year 1493.5 BC.
1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:33 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18-20 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year of 586 BC.
Total elapsed years to the first exile of Judah = 3386.5
3386.5 + 586 = 3972.5 years from 1BC to when Adam was Created.
586 BC + 613.5 years + 2 comes to 29.5/30 AD, the date of Jesus’ acclamation as King of Israel. Plus 2 to include the total number of elapsed years, as our calendar system counts years from their commencement. 3386.5 + 613.5 = 4000 years from Adam to Jesus.
June 2022 AD - 29.5/30 AD = 1992 years since Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday
1992 + 4000 = 5992 years, is where we are now. 5992 + 8 = 6000 years
You don't seem to take into account co-regent reigns. For example Jotham's reign was concurrent with his father for a while because Azariah had leprosy.1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:33 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18-20 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year of 586 BC.

Satan is "Currently" bound from "One Specific Purpose", And One Only?I laugh at the idea that Satan is 'bound' now, that Jesus controls the actions of the worlds leaders, that Jesus will destroy the world when He Returns and the complete nonsense of calling Revelation 20 a 'symbolic' chapter.
In your total of 2,000 years add up from my calculation based on your data does not come up with the same answer. You ignored that the flood lasted for around 1 years which you did not take this into account in you calculation. Even when using your data, there is an error of 23 years.
I will post more if I have time.

In post #507, I show that 23 years as the time Abram spent in Haram. I disagree that we should count another year for the Flood/Even when using your data, there is an error of 23 years.
Why should I? Just using the given time periods works out perfectly. Co regencies are immaterial.You don't seem to take into account co-regent reigns
Are you Satans attorney? It would be good if 'deceiving the nations' really was all Satan did.Satan is "Currently" bound from "One Specific Purpose", And One Only?
Sems to me - you don't read the Book. Or notice the reality we all live in.You are laughing at Scripture not Amils. We didn't write the Book.
In post #507, I show that 23 years as the time Abram spent in Haran.
I disagree that we should count another year for the Flood/
Your post #514 is flawed by making that 23 years part of the first 2000 years.
Your post # 515, is confusing . I do use 430 years of the Israelite exile.
Get a sheet of graph paper. Take your date for the division of the Kingdom between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Go to 1 Kings and start plotting the reigns of BOTH kingdoms. You will be in a glorious muddle if you do not bother finding the coregencies.Why should I? Just using the given time periods works out perfectly. Co regencies are immaterial.
More or less days, just cancel themselves out.
The first 2000 years was complete when Abram obeyed God and departed from Ur. He was 52 then.Abram was +52 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1970.5 BCE He lived in Haran for 23 years,This line of information is irrelevant to your calculations.
then went to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4
Genesis 11:10 does NOT say: ended. Adding a year here is wrong.
Seth was 100 years old, two years after the flood ended. 2 1,659 Arpachshad Gen 11:10[3]
With Bible Prophecy: to rely on the writings of anyone before these last days, is a mistake. Daniel 12:4 & 9 say the Words are secret and sealed until the time of the end. Jesus also said; These things, [the Prophesies] are hidden from the wise, their wisdom of the wise will vanish. Matthew 11:25Now the generally accepted year of the Flood based on Ussher's chronology is the year 2,348 BC. when Adam was created in the year 4,004 BC. However, from my research, I am more in line with Lydiat's Chronological calculations and only differ as to the year Christ was Born. As such I would place the start of the flood in the year 2,444 BC.
You oppose me because I rattle your cage, the cage of false beliefs you have chosen to follow.That is why many oppose you and your posts.
Why should I do that? I use the exact times as given by God in His Word. Only confusion results from messing with them.Get a sheet of graph paper. Take your date for the division of the Kingdom between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Go to 1 Kings and start plotting the reigns of BOTH kingdoms. You will be in a glorious muddle if you do not bother finding the coregencies.
