No return . Christ is already here reigning working in the believers as a Kingdom of priest. When the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit of God leaves on the last day the gate to salvation will be closed. Its the end of time.
The fulfillment of the saints ruling the earth with Jesus? That's not my idea.
Yes it is way past the literal thousand years that began the last days period (thousand years) when Jesus says it is finished the golden clock measure of faith began to wind down .
The thousand year metaphor in Revelation 20 is used the same way in other parables in the old testament and new 2 Peter. . To say that it becomes literal in the book loaded with metaphor simply does not make any biblical sense.
We who walk according to the golden measure of faith we compare the spiritual understanding not seen to the same. (faith to faith) not the literal to the literal .The literal historical has its use when mixed with faith (gospel ).
Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Yesterday is not a thousand literal years
Ecclesiastes 6:6Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
a thousand years twice told is two thousand literal years.
2 Peter 3:8 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.
A thousand years
as one day. A literal thousand years is a thousand years
That seem to be the problem with those of the number that number days and people rather than e walking by faith the unseen golden measure. . They lose out on the unseen understanding .and setting dates becomes the new challenge. David number the troops as a evil rather than trusting God. Walking by faith.
2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the
number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are
not wise.
When the veil was rent and there was no faithless Jewish Rabbi siting there in the place of God . The Wizard Satan was exposed and fell never to rise and deceive all the nations after that manner of deception. the abomination of desolation was revealed. Yet there are those who say lets build another.
Satan could not deceive the whole world any more that they must get under the letter of the law so that he can make it to no effect .Surely you will not die. Just look at me and live.
