Revelation 20:1-6 dosent support a (Literal Tangible Kingdom) on this earth as Dispensationalism falsely teaches, simple.
Now who is the false teacher? Since Revelation 20 is to be taken in its PLAIN LITERAL SENSE, it is you who is flatly denying what God affirms.

Revelation 20 tells us that:
1. There is a LITERAL angel.
2. There is a LITERAL Heaven.
3. There is a LITERAL key to the Bottomless Pit (which we may not comprehend).
4. There is a LITERAL Bottomless pit.
5. There is a LITERAL chain which binds Satan (again beyond our comprehension)

And we can go right through this chapter, and believe that it is all to be taken in its plain literal sense. This includes the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, as much as it includes the Lake of Fire.

1.) The Angel is spiritual realm
2.) Heaven is spiritual realm
3.) Bottomless pit is spiritual realm
4.) Key is spiritual realm, not Ace Hardware or Home Depot
5.) Chain is spiritual realm, not Ace Hardware or Home Depot

Nehemiah6 there is no kingdom on earth seen below, it's 100% spiritual

Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ :)

Yes the foundation in teaching of a (Literal) 1,000 year kingdom on this earth is (False)

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
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,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto 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 worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

I grew up going to Assembly of God churches. I never spoke in tongues and have come to believe that it's fake at best. Same with dispensationalism. And I don't buy into any pre-tribulation rapture either. I think when Jesus talked about the destruction of the temple with no stone left on another, that He was probably referring to the destruction by the Romans in 70AD.

Thanks for the response!

Do you believe in a literal (Future) second coming of Jesus Christ?

Ya probably. I think this world is gonna end at some point. I think the bible is pretty clear about that. How and when it's going to happen? Who knows. Smarter people than me have been arguing about that for years. It's not for me to worry about.

Pre-tribulation rapture just doesn't pass my sniff test because I don't see that God has been in the habit of sparing His followers from all pain and suffering. Jesus suffered pain. Paul suffered pain. But we're so special that God is going to make sure we don't suffer through any pain? So He's going to take us all away before this big tribulation begins? No. I doubt it. I think that's just a way to pack pews and get more tithe money from weak minded effeminates.

The (First Resurrection) seen in Revelation 20:6 you present, is nothing more than the (First Resurrection) of the believer to life seen below, the second resurrection or second death is to eternal damnation.

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth
; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 5:25-29 says ALL

The first resurrection mentioned in the passage around Revelation 20 :6 states that::

Revelation 20: KJV
4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto 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 worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

So in the first resurrection only Saints are resurrected.. The final judgement when all others will be resurrected will happen 1000 years later at the end of the 1000 years..
