NASB | Revelation 20:4 ¶ Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:4 ¶ And then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom judgment [that is, the authority to act as judges] was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had refused to worship the beast or his image, and had not accepted his mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. [Dan 7:9, 22, 27] |
Bible Question: Where will Jesus reign for the 1000 year millenial reign? |
Bible Answer: Matt, I believe the number 1000 is symbolic just like almost all the other numbers in Revelation are i.e. 144,000, 666, 7... The churches that John was writing to at the beginning of Revelation knew exactly what the message meant. I have a study on The whole book that i think you would like if your searching for the truth. But you have to remember that the bible is it's own commentary. Nothing written in Revelation would contradict anything else in the rest of the bible. Like some people say that when Christ returns he will rapture us out and leave the sinners for tribulation, but GOD says in 2 Peter 3:10, that the day comes as a thief and everything will melt with fervent heat and everything will pass away........and that is only one contradiction between man and the bible. I pray you keep your heart in the right place. If you want to continue this study or anything else feel free to write. shwnd300@hotmail.com |
