"They [faithful Christians] came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." (Rev. 20:4) "Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years." (Rev. 20:6) These faithful Christians 'reign with Christ' for a thousand years. Clearly, Jesus could not return during or after this 1,000 years, otherwise he wouldn't have 'reigned' for a thousand years. "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." What's more the inference is that Christ is already reigning in 'his kingdom' before these 1,000 years begin as shown above in Rev. 11:15-18. |

PaulusSecundus, Do you really believe a view which has had more affirmation by historical christianity than any other position has not considered these verses? I have no intentions of trying to win an arguement. I don't think end times discussions ought to be debated on these forums. Discussing them for the sake of understanding other views, yes. Debating, no. Therefore I will not even defend the view in this post except to say that it would become us to not lightly dismiss such a well attested historical view before we even know what it teaches. In Christ, Beja |

"You will bear me witness, my friends, that it is exceedingly seldom I ever intrude into the mysteries of the future with regard to the second advent, the millennial reign, or the first and second resurrection. As often as we come across it in our expositions we do not turn aside from the point, but if guilty at all on this point, it is rather in being too silent than saying too much." --Charles Spurgeon | ||||||
