compare to 'the cattle on a thousand hills.' Simply, a relative huge number.

If you read Acts 4:13, Peter and John could not have written any thing at all; Luke reports about them, Peter and John, to have been unlearned and ignorant men and, as we all know, illiterate people don't write books.

you can ignore anything
if
you can ignore the one thousand year empire
but
you still have the future
where
anything is possible as long as it is consistent
with
your preconceived interpretation

Why do you ignore that nothing has yet matched the biblical description of this reign?
You so desperately want it to be one thing that you will shoe horn it to fit.

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.

Maybe you should desist listening to those religious leaders of yours, because it is unbelievable what they are teaching you. (And could you think of another avatar? That one makes me want to lose my dinner.)

Revelation 20:6 shows that the saints will reign WITH Christ for a thousand years.

"Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection [to heaven]; ...they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign WITH him for a thousand years." Case closed.


How about Luke 1:32,33? You say Jesus won't rule? It says: "He [Jesus] will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David; and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end."

Doesn't this dovetail nicely with Isaiah 9:6,7? It says, "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on his shoulders....There will be no end to the increase of his government or of peace." (NASB)

And then we have Daniel 2:44, which describes an event that happens after all the major powers of the world have been defeated, up to the time in which we now live:

"In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed....It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but will itself endure forever."

What is a KINGdom? It's a government headed by a KING. The Scriptures we have cited here, above, show that Christ is that King.

Yes, Gabriel said the Messiah would be cut off in the midst of the week. In this case, the midst of a millennial set of seven.

Hel-lo-o. What Gabriel told Daniel was fulfilled when Jesus died on Calvary. The "week" indicates the 7 years starting with Jesus' ministry of 3 1/2 years + the remaining 3 1/2 years when his disciples still went to the House of Israel to try and get them to repent. "In the midst of the week" happened in 33 A.D. when Jesus was indeed "cut off." If you'll look at that prophecy, you'll see that the aim was to "terminate transgression, to finish off sin, and to make atonement for error." This was why Jesus died, and it can be said that he finished off those things that were keeping mankind under Death's power. Men now had a way to receive forgiveness for sin.

This does not refer to something in the future. The Thousand-Year Reign is yet to occur, and it will happen after Armageddon. It will be a time when evil will have been banished from the earth (Satan "thrown into the abyss"), and Jesus and his saints will be guiding mankind in restoring the planet to what Adam should have done.

Can any of you understand Aramaic?

Or read any of the original scriptures?

These interpretation musings are quite pointless.
