    The OT prophets foresaw the Messianic Age as time when Messiah ruled as king over earth, not just from Heaven!

    I think I’m slowly heading that way. Much to learn, much to learn, but I see lots already I agree with.

    How do you see Revelation then, fully symbolic then?

    No. But there are lots of symbolic language. Unless you believe every time Christ speaks a literal sword shoots out.

    I believe the symbolic parts are easily-discerned, with many being explained later, such as Rev. 17. And some is partially symbolic, such as the 2nd Babylon. I believe the angel was describing a literal city, symbolcally called "Babylon". (The first Babylon still existed in those days, while being quite-unimportant.) But i believe the descriptions of what the antichrist & his sidekick the false prophet will do are quite-literal, as is the descriptions of the trib plagues, and of the millenium, among others.

    Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world. It comes not with observation. Only the born again can see it. Among many other things that place you among the Pharisees who invented the idea.

    So you don't believe Scripture, either, same as that other chap. Oh well, God said there'd come a great "falling away" before "the end".

    All symbolic language uses words which have a literal meaning [symblism explained Revelation 1:20]. What I find to be crazy Bible interpreations are where what is actually literal are claimed to be symbolic.

    It's been here since Dispensationalism took root along with American Pentecostalism. Neither of these has roots in historic Christian truth.

    Well, actually, dispensationalism is true. There are several schools of it, which are NOT true, such as the false "seven church ages" doctrine, invented by Darby in Britain & pushed in the US by such charlatans as William Branham. (D. 1965)

    But I agree that most pentecostal branches are full of false doctrines such as one MUST "speak in tongues" as proof of salvation, or the heretical "oneness" gang.

    Think symbols are used, but also that they point to a literal and plain events happening!

    Spiritual Kingdom will at His second coming be manifested as physical, as messianic Age on earth!

    I'm fine Tony, thanks.
    No we have not interacted for a while, and it has become apparent to me that it is this very subject that somehow stands in the way and causes me not to want to interact, as I've really no wish to argue with you about the Bible.

    As for the rest of what you stated in your post to me above,
    I can see by the tone of your post that you're convinced against the Lord Jesus Christ ruling and reigning someday from Jerusalem, and I can see that we don't understand the Scriptures the same way on this subject... and it's very possible that we probably never will agree on them.

    For the record and as in other threads about this topic,
    I do not see the Bible teaching "amillennialism" and I never have... and my understanding about the end times is very different than yours seems to be;
    That said, I see no reason for either of us to ever speak about it again.


    I wish you well, and may God bless you.:)

    There absolutely will be a 1000-year period in which King Jesus will rule physically on the earth from Jerusalem.
