It has "the", in multiple places, in multiple languages (including koine Greek, "τα χιλια ετη" - Rev. 20:3,5,7) & I even cited the Romanian, "o" is "The". Latin doesn't have definite articles. English does.

That doesn't mean 'the' has to stop you from an interpretation of The Bible.


Jesus Comforts His Children,
ABOUT THE GRAND FINALE
of LIFE on EARTH,
with Scenes of the Spirits
of Departed Believers
Safely Home in Heaven, as they are Praying for Divine Justice and waiting eagerly for the resurrection of their bodies at Jesus' Return to the Earth (as we see in Revelation 6:9-11, 20:4-6;
...
Revelation 6:9-11;
...
The Fifth Seal: Martyrs

...
9 "And when He
had Opened the Fifth Seal,
I saw under the Altar the Souls of them
that were Slain for the Word of God,
and
for the Testimony which they held:
...
10 "And they cried with a loud voice,
saying,
How long, O Lord, Holy and True,
Do You Not Judge and Avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the Earth?
...
11 "And White Robes
were Given to every one of them; and it was said to them,
that they should Rest yet for a little season,"
( This is the same Period of Time
being referred to that is our Current Age;
from the Time of Jesus'
Ascension Back to Heaven,
Until
Jesus Returns Again to this Earth,
at The End of The World.)

...
"until their fellow servants also
and their brothers,
that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled."

...
Revelation 20:4-6;
...
While Satan is Bound
the Symbolic Thousand Years, which is a "seemingly endless" Period of Time that then DOES HAVE a DEFINITE FINAL END.
...
This Period of Time being referred to
is our Current Age;
from the Time of Jesus'
Ascension Back to Heaven, Until
Jesus Returns Again to this Earth,
at
The End of The World.
...


4 "And I saw Thrones, and they sat on them,
and Judgment was given to them: and I saw the Souls of them that were beheaded
for the Witness of Jesus, and
for the word of God, and which had not
worshiped the Beast, neither his image,
neither had received his Mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a Thousand Years."
...
AGAIN:
This "Thousand Years" is Symbolic of
the Period of Time in our Current Age;
from
The Time of Jesus'
Ascension Back to Heaven,
Until
Jesus Returns Again
to this Earth,
at
The End of The World,
which is, of course,
THE END of this AGE.

...
5 "But the rest of the dead"
( the lost Souls of Mankind,
who have died and left this life )
...
"lived not again"
( although their lost spirits were "alive",
in the Torments of Hell,
but their lost spirits
were not yet reunited to suffer bodily
i.e., "lived not again",

in their Resurrected bodies )
...
"until the thousand years were finished.
This is the First Resurrection"
( these are also the same
"Souls of them
that were Slain for the Word of God,
and
for the Testimony which they held",
from Chapter 6:9
where John said in verse 20:4:
"and I saw the Souls of them"...
"...and they lived and reigned
with Christ a Thousand Years.")

...
6 "Blessed and Holy is he
that has Part in the First Resurrection:
on such the Second Death"
( which is Eternal Death,
when a lost Soul is Reunited
with their Resurrected body
and Cast into The Lake of Fire )

...
"has no power,
but they shall be Priests of God
and of Christ, and Will Reign with Him
a Thousand Years"
( "and the Souls of them
...Reign with Him":

CURRENTLY IN HEAVEN,
as SAVED LIVING SOULS

that simply are Not
SAVED LIVING SOULS
Reunited with their
GLORIFIED
RESURRECTED BODIES,

YET
and are said to be "disembodied".)

If Jesus Comes Back today, He is Going to Usher in The Consummation of The Age and THE END of TIME.

That probably messes up the tic-tock stuff.

I understand.

You are about as much fun as covid19. There is not much time left, yet you seem to keep up this weird communication thing going.

I do not want "an interpretation" of the Bible, but I want (and I have) "the interpretation" of it, by God (Genesis 40:8; 2 Peter 1:20).


There is one properly God-honoring Interpretation of each Scripture.

They all fit together in my Bible, just like yours.

We just have to find them.

"Jesus can't Come Back, today" is a pretty rough row to hoe.

He cannot come back today or tonight, or even tomorrow. Prophecies are not yet fulfilled. Only a little time left, as time goes.


There are no preventative occurrences that must take place prior to Jesus' Return.

Not in the Book, anyway.

You are greatly mistaken:

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.​

I know, right?

You need to redo your calendar. You did not Remember the Sabbath that was kept Holy. The week starts on a Sunday. I know that goes against your accepted theology, but it may help in the long run. Read Genesis 2:1-6 The first Lord's Day. Verses 1-3 state the Sabbath, 4-6 describe the Lord's Day event. Not even a seed or fruit died in the ground. In chapter one all seeds and all fruit was the only thing that all animals, land and sea, fowl and humans ate for 1000 years, a perfect eco system and economy.

Yes Satan deceived the world, but even in deception God is still in Control. The Romans had an 8 day week. Jesus in the fulness of time came during an 8 day calendar. Jericho, Yeshua, an 8 day week. Palm Sunday, Jesus, and an 8 day week. The Second Coming an 8 day week. This world an 8000 year week. Sunday to Friday is 6 days. God started on Sunday. The first Sabbath was 1000 years. The perfect Lord's Day. The 8th day is the Garden of Eden, God's temple. The first sacrifice was in God’s temple. 4000 years later, the Cross, perhaps in the very same spot, the Atonement. The Flood changed all the land around. The Second Coming will restore it to original form. The end of Adam's 6000 years of punishment. God labored for 6 days. God punished Adam for 6 days. God says 6 days shalt thou labor. We are to Remember the original 1000 years, but Satan was allowed to deceive us, and we forgot. The final 1000 years on earth is restoration. The last Sabbath. We get to rest for a day. We labored for 6 days, now the 7th is our day of rest. Two Sabbaths, Two Sundays. Equally the same. Up until the US went South literally, we had two days of rest. We only had to work 5. Satan has convinced us, work is fun and neccessary for fun. We are 7 day slaves. God says time is up. NO MORE WORK!! How? The first seal was covid19. No work for 3 months, except we demand to work. God is about ready to open seal 4.... God says, again. NO WORK!! If Satan gets his way 3.5 years of solid work. 666 the curse of work. Humans will in Solidarity with Satan, proudly wear the sweat of the brow as a brand that removes them from the Lamb's book of life. They will even put it on their forearm to look at it often. To avoid the mark, head chopped off. Those beheaded are the firstfruits who will rise to reign on earth, while we rest in the temple Paradise.

Sorry that a Sunday person had to remind you of the first 1000 years, the Sabbath no one was to forget. Sunday with 6 work days then a Sunday. But both were Sundays and Sabbaths. No this is not an ecumenical thing. It is God's Word.

Well I understand that something that does not exist, but does, messes up everything.

Indeed, as foretold. It is why the Bible speaks of the "last days" (plural, the last two cosmic days, 1,000 years each), before "the day of the LORD" (the final, 1000 years, Millennium). I showed this in the image, the powerpoint and pdf.

Also, there is the throne of Grace from which Christ Jesus rules now: Hebrews 4:16, 10:12.

Then, comes the throne of His Glory at the Second Advent: Matthew 19:28, 25:31.

After of the rapture of “Church of the first borne” (Heb. 12:23), a transitional period will come from our time to the Millennium. This period will continue 49 years.

After the Lord Jesus Christ will be reigned at the end of the seventieth week of Daniel (Rev. 11:17), the kingdoms of this world will become “the kingdomes of our Lord, and of his Christ” (Rev. 11:15). There will be restored Kingdom “to Israel” (Acts.1:6). The Lord Jesus Christ will come “in his glory” (Mat.25:31) with “healing in his wings” (Mal.4:2). “In that day there shalbe a fountaine opened to the house of Dauid, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, for sinne, and for vncleannesse” (Zech.13:1). Nature will be also renewed. And “the light of the Sunne shall be seuenfold” (Is. 30:26), and “the lyon shall eate straw like the bullocke” (Is.65:25). But there will still be sin and death on earth: "the sinner being an hundreth yeres old, shalbe accursed" (Is.65:20) Peoples who will not come to fight “against Ierusalem” (Zech.14:12) into “a place, called in the Hebrewe tongue, Armageddon” (Rev. 16:17) will enter in the Millennium. There will be made the new covenant “with the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah” (Heb.8:8). The “royall Law” will come into force (James 2:8) (Matthew 5-7). Israel will receive power and authority to obedience to the faith among all nations in the Millennium. Israel and subsequently believing Gentiles will receive the power to attack all this “power of the enemie” (Luke 10:19); these are the “angels” (Rev. 12: 9) of Satan. Then Israel will receive a command from the Lord Jesus Christ: “¶ Goe ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Sonne, and of the holy Ghost: Teaching them to obserue all things, whatsoeuer I haue commanded you: and loe, I am with you alway, euen vnto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28: 19-20).

After which God will “gone vp with a shout” (Ps.47:5) “into heaven” (Mark.16:19). The Father will say to the Son: “Sit thou at my right hand: vntil I make thine enemies thy footestoole” (Ps.110:1). The Scripture says: “For he (the Son) must reigne, till hee (the Father) hath put all enemies vnder his (Son’s) feete” (1Cor.15:25). And He has set down (Mark.16:19).

“God sitteth vpon the throne of his holinesse” (Ps.47:8)

“God is the King of all the earth” (Ps.47:7)

Scripture tells to the Millennium believers: “Honour the King” (1Pet.2:17)

From now on, Israel will “see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon the sonne of man” (John 1:51), upon them. This is the ministry of the Church of God in this period of time. Due to the fact that Satan will be bound (Rev. 20:2), and cast “into the bottomlesse pit” (Rev.20:3), competition between people will be weaken on Earth; there will be no international conflicts and wars. Therefore, every one “of all the nations” (Zech.14:16), who will enter into the Millennium, “shall beate their swords into plow-shares” (Is.2:4). In those days “ten men shall take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Iew” (Zech.8:23), because salvation will be “of the Iewes” (John.4:22).

At the end of the Millennium, Israel will again depart from God.

Scripture says:

“Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diuiding the word of trueth” (2Tim.2:15) KJV1611AV

This is not Paul’s wish or recommendation to Timothy, this is God's command to people who seek the truth.
MILLENNIUM: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10840-millennium
By: Joseph Jacobs, A. Biram


The reign of peace, lasting one thousand years, which will precede the Last Judgment and the future life. The concept has assumed especial importance in the Christian Church, where it is termed also “chiliasm,” designating the dominion of Jesus with the glorified and risen saints over the world for a thousand years. Chiliasm or the idea of the millennium is, nevertheless, older than the Christian Church; for the belief in a period of one thousand years at the end of time as a preliminary to the resurrection of the dead was held in Parseeism. This concept is expressed in Jewish literature in .......

I do not know of any evidence of a 1,000-year time period, of literal calendar years, called a "Millennium", or anything else, that has any connection with The Bible and I do not believe any evidence exists.

So, I guess that I don't know of any evidence of TWO of THEM, either.
