Subject: What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 |
Bible Note: RC, Alright, I went back and looked at "thousand" in Scripture. It is used in 395 verses. It is overwhelmingly used as an accurate number or at least an approximation to number men or cattle or shekels, etc. There are a number of instances, though few, where I think it does in fact just mean a long time or a great number. Your quote from Psalms is one and there are a few others, such as 1000 years as one day, be ye mindful always of his covenant the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, etc. So maybe this would work, but I am not quick to accept that. Putting that aside for now, help me look at Rev 20 up to verse 10 which is supposed to be past. In verse 3, is Satan no longer deceiving the nations? If not, how is it different now than when he was deceiving them? Also, verse 7 talks about when Satan is loosed, but this hasn't happened yet, or has it? Lastly, who are those that have part in the first resurrection, true followers of Christ or just those that rose when he was crucified or someone else? Thank you in advance for your thoughts on these matters. jamison |
