Revelation 20
The Thousand Years
1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pita and a great chain. 2And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

2 Thessalonians 2
Man of Lawlessness
1Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

Paul said he was restrained (bound) 2000 years ago.
same words.
He is already deceiving the nations and still is

Now from the same mouth will you now put down these very same verses you just upheld? again, if ANY MAN, you or me trust that he is in Christ, let him of himself think this again. THAT AS HE IS CHRIST'S SO ARE WE CHRIST'S AS WELL.

What is the lake of fire to you?

2 Peter 3:8
(8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.


Calculate the ages in the Bible and you will find the earth is about 6000 years old, so the next 1000 years will be like a sabbath of rest for the earth.



Lao, if you think the 1000 years in Rev is literal then there is no point.

Isaiah 55:8-9
(8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
(9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Israel:

What is the lake of fire to you?
Beloved, if you TRULY, TRULY believed with all of your heart that all men are saved, what would change in your life?

Revelation 20 is literal language so the 1000 years is literal. Places like Revelation 13 is symbolic so the 42 months in Rev 13 is symbolic

Why the does it say that the devil and the false prophet are tormented day and night forever and ever. Rev 20? ...is it symbolic maybe?

Nothing would change in my life if i should believe that however it's not what ii want?

..it's what the word of God wants. (death and hell cast into the lake along with the devil and the beast = second death).

...the unjust (goats, tares) on His left were judged at the great white throne judgement.. Revelation 20:10-15 (KJV)

same with the parable of the farmer.

Israel how do you interpret the parable of the wheat and the weed?

Now ask yourself, "WHO ARE HIS REAL ENEMIES"?
i know you can do better then this Israel?

...those who does not have THE SON OF GOD. They are condemned already. Revelation 3:18 (KJV)

they are the ungodly, the wicked, the unbelieving overthrowing the grace of God.

...or

you going to tell me they too will go through a purification process while God consumes them with the fire...?

The Bible tells us what is symbolic in Revelation 13 but Rev 20 is literal.
The bottomless pit should be translated as deep
G12
ἄβυσσος
abussos
ab'-us-sos
From G1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of G1037; depthless, that is, (specifically), (infernal) “abyss”: - deep, (bottomless) pit.

The earth at the return of Jesus will go back to its original state for 1000 years
Genesis 1:2
(2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
