LIVING IN THE MILLENIA

[GraceAndTruth]

The entire period between the ascension and return of Christ is the millennium. Christ is ruling now over a spiritual kingdom that will be immediately raptured at His return, and the new heavens and earth will then be in place.

This millennial kingdom’s temple is our bodies

1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

When Jesus came, he eliminated the need for a temple (building) being in a single location. Christians became the temple of God, a house for his Holy Spirit. Because of his blood that made us clean, we can now be considered pure and holy enough to have God’s Spirit live in us.

Amillennialism is the position on eschatology that the “tribulation” period is 1st century history and that things will mostly continue as they are until Christ returns, with the gospel spreading widely in some places and being resisted in others. Which means that the millenium is much longer than an actual one thousand years

The Greek word in the bible translated as ‘thousand’ is choloi which actually indicates many thousand. The singular for thousand would have been chilias.

2 Peter 3:8 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your ...
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.

Amillennials do not look for signs of a great tribulation to come, we look for Christ. Maranatha

 

[Nehemiah6]

The entire period between the ascension and return of Christ is the millennium.

Since a millennium = 1,000 years, and we are already past 2,000 years, your theory is patently false.

Indeed, how can the past 2,000 plus years be considered any kind of millennium, when sin and evil have been growing exponentially? As I have stated before, self-delusion and self-deception are the worst kinds of deception.

When Christ literally establishes His millennial Kingdom on earth, sin and evil will not be permitted on earth. There will be universal righteousness and peace.

Per your usual astuteness...guess you missed this:

So you believe you are one of those who were beheaded for your witness of Jesus and who did not worship the beast or recieve its mark and were resurrected and reign with Christ?

While I do find this an interesting perspective it doesn't add up the prophetic timeline. What I mean by that is say that we have indeed been reigning with Christ in the millennium regardless if it has been a thousand or several thousand years, this disorganizes the entire understanding of what the scriptures say about the prophetic timeline. The millennium happens after the tribulation and after the rapture but if what you say is true then that means both the rapture and the tribulation has already occured which it hasn't the antichrist has yet to reveal himself the mark in which man women child and old have to have in order to buy and sell has not come into play wolrwide yet the antichrist has not yet stood in the third temple and declaring himself God he has not yet broken the treaty and the rapture itself has not yet occured either.
Also a word of advice I wouldn't go to a millennium for your posts they are not in understanding of the truth.

I'm pretrib and I'm looking not for the anti Christ , nor the tribulation, but Christ.

 

[GraceAndTruth]

So you believe you are one of those who were beheaded for your witness of Jesus and who did not worship the beast or recieve its mark and were resurrected and reign with Christ?

I'm thinking that was part of the tribulation of 66-70AD

 

[breno785au]

Are we expecting in a future time there will be mass beheadings of christians?

 

[Shilohsfoal]

Are we expecting in a future time there will be mass beheadings of christians?

Not mass. Just many of those in the middle east where the beast is.

 

[breno785au]

Not mass. Just many of those in the middle east where the beast is.

Hold on, so the mark of the beast is not a global thing?

 

[iamsoandso]

And chilias is "plural"...

 

[Benadam]

the millenium is much longer than an actual one thousand years

I've heard that it is a euphemism for an undetermined long period of time. Like we might say ' not in a million years'

 

[TheDivineWatermark]

And chilias is "plural"...

Yes. "chilia" and "chilias" are plural.

Rev20:2-7 uses "chilia" (6x) -

verse 2 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-2.htm

verse 3 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-3.htm

verse 4 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-4.htm

verse 5 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-5.htm

verse 6 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-6.htm

verse 7 - chilia - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/20-7.htm



[another example... this one being "chilias" (also plural), re: "days"]

Rev12:6 -

"days [PL]

a thousand [chilias - PL]

two hundred [PL]

sixty [PL]"


____________

I've noted in past posts that any time a number is supplied with the word "years" (______ years [insert number in the blank]), the text means "THAT MANY years"

 

[GraceAndTruth]

And chilias is "plural"...

NO...chiloi is the plural of uncertain affinity.

no, chiloi IS plural of uncertain affinity
Strong's Greek: 5505. χιλιάς (chilias) -- one thousand

◄ 5505. chilias ►. Strong's Concordance. chilias: one thousand.

The tribulation is history (66-70AD), we are in the millennium now and will be until the rapture.
Did you even read the entire intro to this topic?

χιλια - [this is the word used in vv.2,3,4,5,6,7... 6x]

see here also (note how there are three entries under that word in v.2, for example, under the heading of "reverse interlinear"... first listed is the "inflected," then the "root," then the "transliterated" of this word):

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/20/1/ss1/t_conc_1187002 -

[like this, for v.2]

g5507
χίλια [inflected]

χίλιοι [root]

chilioi [transliterated]


[see again "chilia" 6x (as here) at links in my previous post]


You're free to believe as you wish. = )

And where please is Israel living in peace and where is the devil bound. ?
And where it is written that the Millenium is Spiritual and not literal?
Sorry, it seems you live not in the reality.

 

[TheDivineWatermark]

This is what I was going to say also. = )

Besides that, ALL of the biblically-defined "signs" FOLLOW "our Rapture"... they do not precede and point to our Rapture, but rather they precede His "RETURN" to the earth and point toward that point in the chronology (ALL of them FOLLOWING our Departure "to the meeting of the Lord IN THE AIR"). This means that we are eagerly awaiting HIM (not "signs" and not "the trib years," which all unfold upon the earth AFTER we've gone in the Rapture). Right on.
