When does the millennium begin?

We are not yet in the millennium..

John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

We are in yes. By the way, there will be only and only punishments against all nations, but all nations, in this millennium, the seventh and last millennium, the seventh and last Day. The nations are already suffering greatly, the world of Devil are being and will be demolished, DISSOLVED, IMPLODED, and the worst is coming, it is at door.

This millennium belongs not to the men, but to the LORD exclusively, and what He must do in accord Scriptures in fulfilment of the Word of God(Matthew 25:v.32 & 41 & 34, He will do although be invisible yet.

The day of the Lord, the hour of trial, the day of God, the day of Christ and that day, are all referring to the same time period, just by different monikers. Those designations cover the gathering of the church and everything that takes place within the time period of God's wrath, right up to when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age.

Since there is a millennial kingdom which takes place after the Lord returns to the earth to end the age, then the earth cannot be destroyed by fire at that time, because Jesus needs to rule on the earth according to prophecy. However, this current atmosphere and earth will pass away at the end of the millennial kingdom before or during the great white throne judgement as described in Rev.20:11 and 21:1

The millennium will be a time of peace prosperity and justice.. It will not be a time of suffering for the Saints.. Satan will be bound and in the pit during the 1000 years as revealed in the Bible.. So satan will not be inspiring anyone to do evil during the 1000 Years..

Satan bound for the 1000 years::
Revelation 20: KJV
1 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. {2} And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Satan only released from the bottomless pit after the 1000 years is finished::
Revelation 20: KJV
7 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, {8} And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

So satan will be able to do nothing during the 1000 years.. Of course we know satan is active in this world right now.. So the 1000 years has not yet started..

In regard to the signified language of that parable. The language introduced in verse 1 of Revelation. We are given the instructions as to how we can find the unseen understanding hidden in parables .Again as the tongue of God which without he speaks not to everyone hiding the spiritual unseen understanding from those who walk by sight looking to the temporal

The meaning becomes clear when we do mix faith the eternal in what is revealed. It is the gospel key that binds and loosens the soul of man . A never ending judgment .Not a iteral bottomless pit or literal chain of key. How could a literal chain bind a lying spirit? The whole parable is filed with metaphors to include a thousand years.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

First of all, John was only caught up once. In Rev.1:10 John states that he was in the spirit, i.e. in his mortal body meditating on God and His word. It is in Rev.4:2 where says, "immediately I was in the spirit" is referring to literally being transformed into the spirit and was caught up to heaven. And second of all, John was not brought from the first century to the twenty first century. John was being shown a vision of the future and not actually taken there.

The day of the Lord is period of time which covers the entire time period of God's wrath, which is found in pretty my all of the prophets description of it.

I agree. What do you believe about the book of Enoch? What is your opinion on it? I think it contains interesting information about how humanity learned war, cosmetics and other things.

Hello! I have copy of Ethiopic Enoch and believe that it is the word of God. It was in fact apart of the Bible up to the 3rd century. Jude quoted from it. It gives greater detail in regards to Genesis 6:1-2 when those angels, of which there were 200, took wives from the progeny of mankind. It goes into great detail about what each of the angels taught mankind. It is because of those angels and their offspring and man's resulting corruption, that God flooded the earth.

Yes, I agree with you. There is a verse in Enoch which states that one of the angels taught the beautifying of the eyebrows (make up).
They taught sorcery, the divining of roots and trees, how to make weapons of war, astrology and many more things that mankind was not supposed to know.

The offspring were over 300 cubits tall! That would make them over 400 ft. Regarding this, it states that they ate all that mankind produced with their hands until it was impossible to feed them. Then they began to injure animals and birds and humans, eating them one after another. They would just be too out of scale for the food that God created for mankind. A cow to them would only be the size of peanut. Those tales of giants and the Titans don't seem too much of a myth now, huh?

I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like pre-flood.

Revelation 20 is not a parable.. It is a prophecy.. And human lodgic would conclude that there cannot exist a bottomless pit or a chain tht can bind a lying spirit..

Since you own a copy of it and we know Ethiopian Tawahedo church is one of the most ancient ones around I would like to ask you: Does the book of Enoch say anything about the pre-trib rapture? Or about the end times? Something I should know?

Prophecies are parables .

Without parables as prophecy. . Christ the anointing Holy Spirit our teacher and comforter spoke not.

Human logic would also conclude that the rest of those metaphors to include a literal thousand years must have a hidden understanding.(the gospel).

Using human logic shows the spiritual understanding has not been understood.

The faithless atheistic Jew

Right off the top of my head, there is a prophecy which Jude quotes from Enoch regarding the Lord and His saints' return to the earth to end the age:

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.

Wrong, still. You are taking this idea out of context. I've explained this to you at least three times.

Wrong. Only you believe that.

Wrong. Human logic is a set of tools that recognizes and undergirds sound reasoning. Spiritual understanding is, frankly, irrelevant to sound logic.

Wrong. The Jews of Jesus' time were not atheistic. You might know that if you looked up the meaning of the word before using it.

Parable like tongues are prophecy .Two difernt kinds of prophecy that do the same.. . declare the will of God.

How many times does the Holy Spirit have to reveal without parables prophecy he spoke not before it becomes your truth?

Spiritual understanding is, frankly relevant to the signified tongue of God . We look to the thing seen the temporal in order to see the unseen spiritual truth of the gospel .. . .our new tongue.

God has clearly purposely wrote the Bible so that it would be difficult to discover many unseen truths fostering unbelief with those who develop their own gospel plan.

Proverbs 25 King James Version (KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

It as it is applied works fine. (no faith) faithless.. . . atheist. No God in their hearts calling atheist fools.

They were searching after another Jesus as the antichrists, a atheistic religion that creates its own kind of gospel after the philosophies of men .

Wrong. Parables can be spoken (or given) by anyone, not just God. Tongues aren't prophecy either, but I've tried to teach you that before, and you reject plain Scripture on the subject.

Wrong. The Scripture does not say "Without prophecy He spoke not."

Parables are prophecy (God's word) just as tongues .

Irrelevant. Parables are not prophecy.

Wrong. That isn't a parable; it's a proverb. The two are not the same thing.

Faithless" means "does not have or exercise faith". "Atheist" means "does not believe there is a divine being". The Jews believed that God existed, but they did not have faith in Him. Atheists may exercise faith (in gravity, for example) but they don't believe in the existence of a divine being.

Parable - Wikipedia A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of analogy.

Without parables the poetic language or tongue of God, Christ spoke not

Yes everyone uses some metaphors as their signified signature.

God has developed his own personal system as a fingerprint or seal . Without parables, . . prophecy as scripture Christ spoke not.
Tongues are no different. You say you have taught me. But I am still waiting for your proof that as to what the sign of tongues confirms according to the law of interpretation?



The word proverb is parable . Proverbs are moral prophecy unlike parables that are used to represent time periods as historallly true as well as revealing the spiritual meaning.

Wrong. "Faithless" does not mean the same thing as "atheist".

"

They believed in a god they created by oral traditions of men making the true without effect.

All men are born atheist . . (no faith, faithless) That faith comes from hearing God. Paganism is atheism.

If a person does not have the exclusive faith that comes from hearing God .Then they are not children of God. Atheism denotes no faith in a God not seen. . . one revealed by that which is written. Adding the word god to their unbelief does not change the foundation.

Where are you getting that "without parables.... Christ spoke not" quote from?
