the thousand years

You have to start with the thousand years. It should be the easiest to find and it is easy to find as long as you are not looking for Jesus to reign. Chapter twenty does not say Jesus will reign even though many think so. It says the saints will reign with Christ and any time two or more are gathered in His name, He said He would be with them. The Byzantine Empire consisted of a whole lot of Christians gathered in His name and they reigned for over a thousand years.

the apocalypse

As soon as the Lord Jesus returns to the earth then He will sit upon His throne and begin to reign:

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory" (Mt.25:31).​

We know that He will reign on the earth when He begins to sit upon His throne and here we see the length of His reign:

"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" (Rev.20:6).​

The thousand years are not literal, but encompass the entire period between the first coming of Christ and His second coming. Then shall come the final resurrection and universal white-throne judgement. Revelation Chapter 20

This is the a-millennial view.

amillennialism was a reasonable view
but
a literal interpretation should be investigated
now
that we have history to guide us

a christian empire that lasts over 1000 years can't be ignored
nor
can you ignore the enemies of such an empire

some say there will be peace for a thousand years
the apocalypse does not say that

some say Christ will reign
the apocalypse does not say that
it does say Christ will be with them
Jesus said He would be with them when they gather in His name

some say this is the kingdom
the apocalypse does not say that
Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world

The priests of God and of Christ will reign with Christ for a thousand years.

Where will the priests of God and of Christ reign? They will reign on earth.

For how long? A thousand years.

Where will Christ be? Christ will be with them. He said he will never leave them or forsake them.

What happens after the thousand years? The rest of the dead are raised to live again.

resurrected,

re: "surely there must be something in revelations about that"

Any particular reason for adding an "s" at the end of "revelations"?

To call it a christian empire is quite a very loose use of the word Christian... especially when it goes against the entire idea of us being light and salt in the world. Jesus never intended his followers to rule with a sword to peoples necks.

His kingdom will have no end. The 12 apostles will sit in judgment over the 12 tribes. This did not happen.

HEY!!! --- ((( Joel 2:27 KJV ))) -- 27- "(( And "YE" shall "Know" "that I am in the midst of Israel" )), and that I am the LORD (( "YOUR" )) God, (((( And None Else )))): AND "MY" people shall never be ashamed". --//-----

OOOPPPSSS!!! - Where do you get that your Scripture is referring to the Thousand Years??? -- Just two verses farther and you "NEVER FOUND" that God is speaking to (( Israel )), "and No one else"!!! - Not to the Gentiles of Your ( END TIME )!!!

Man, I don't know HOW you all do that!!!

GOD Didn't say it Would!! -- The ( Christians ) will be Kings and Priests, and Judge!!

((( 1 Corinthians 2:15 KJV ))) -- 15- "(( But he that is Spiritual )) (( judgeth all things )), yet he himself is judged of no man". --//-----

Matthew 19

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

This didn't happen. But he did say it would. Prophecy for kingdoms are conditional.
