A thousand years represents both past, present and future tense. Time was created for this earth. There are those who John writes have lived and reigned during this symbolic time, but there are also others, not among the martyred for faith who shall reign with Christ during this period of time...

The passage tells us "they LIVED and REIGNED (past tense, before they were martyred) with Christ a thousand years", it does NOT say the lived and reigned AGAIN! Which is what the discussion is centered on. It doesn't need to say "had" because they lived and reigned with Christ during this time...

Mortal flesh & blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1Cor 15:50), and none shall be resurrected in physical immortal & incorruptible bodies of flesh until an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. Heaven is NOT a mortal, physical place. Heaven is the spiritual...

Those who are resurrected from the graves and those who are of faith in Christ and still living when Christ comes again in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time for this earth shall be no longer shall all have physical, immortal & incorruptible body of flesh to live forever with...

Even the body of Christ was destined to die! Every human being is appointed to death that comes through sin. Since all have sinned, all are ordained to physically die. Believers won't receive immortal & incorruptible physical body until the hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds and...

You're not accepting what the text says! Why do you not believe what John has written when writing of the martyred saints he says, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years"? How could the thousand years be literally one thousand years since for these martyred saints a thousand...

If this is to be understood as them coming to physical life AGAIN after they were martyred why do the following translations omit the word 'again'? There is no mention of the martyred saints coming to physical life again after death because none shall be resurrected to physical life AGAIN until...

No, that's how Premillennialists read their doctrine into Rev 20. The passage clearly tells us these martyred saints died after having lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. John writes only that there is a "first resurrection" that man must have part in before they die to be...

Because that's what Premillennialists keep insisting! How could these martyred saints be physically alive as Premillers insist unless they had been physically raised to life again? Scripture tells us that none shall be bodily resurrected to physical life AGAIN before the hour that is coming...

It is not that "I" apparently think is "the hour coming" when both those who have done good (saved) and those who have done evil (lost) shall be bodily resurrected. It IS what the verse tells us. Why do you not believe what the passage from John 5 says? Revelation 19 begins with John...

With the advent of the cross and resurrection the power Satan had to hold the Gentiles in bondage to fear of death is broken. That power is broken for Gentiles (nations) that hear the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, and according to grace through faith they turn to Christ in...

You're bringing to light another unbiblical doctrine! The Bible teaches that when we are in Christ we HAVE eternal life through His Spirit in us when we are born again. We don't start out as Christians only to become unprofitable servants. Those unprofitable servants never have faith in...

You can try all you want to explain your doctrine of deception, but reconciling what you think might be truth with Scripture you cannot do! Nowhere in Scripture will you be able to prove two second comings, and two judgment days separated by one thousand years. That's why you're frustrated and...

How do you reconcile them being bodily resurrected to life again before an hour coming when the last trumpet begins to sound when time shall be no longer? Beheaded saints shall be bodily resurrected at the same hour coming when ALL who are physically dead shall be resurrected. Those (saints)...

Even those in Christ are destined to physical death! The Bible says we must be born again! That's not a second birth, that's a spiritual birth through the Spirit of Christ within for those who before being born again were spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. Not so! They were beheaded...

Notice this does not tell us they came to life AGAIN as Premillennialists want us to believe. Since non shall be resurrected physically to life again before an hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer, "they came to life" has to be spiritually. They were dead...

You must be discerning David! These goats called "unprofitable servants" believed their good works would save them. They were not true servants of Christ, they were pew sitters like so many that fill the churches in this world. In the end the Lord, calling them "goats" and not of the "sheep"...

It's proving your position that creates problems for you! Prove two second comings of Christ, and two judgment days separated by one thousand literal years???? Prove also how "unprofitable servants" are Christians?

What do you mean by "events"? How many second comings of Christ do you believe there shall be? That's a BIG IF! All you've proven is that you believe without authority from Scripture the second and only coming of Christ again will be not only a second coming, as Scripture tells us, but also...

We all know where a thousand years in Scripture is found. Let me turn the question to you, where, book, chapter and verse do you find "a thousand years" literally represents ONE thousand years? It cannot be proven that "a" thousand years equates to exactly ONE thousand physical years of time...
