Rev 20:3 and 8 show that obviously the nations cannot be deceived until AFTER the 1,000 years are expired. Don't leave out verse 7 either.
There is no indications that there a peoples/nations left alive on earth DURING the 1,000 years.
And the rest of your texts say nothing about the 1,000 years but would rather seem to indicate these things happen AFTER the New Earth is made.
Your claim that “there are no indications that peoples/nations are left alive during the 1,000 years” is simply not true.
Revelation 20:3 explicitly says Satan is bound
“so that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are finished.” You cannot deceive nations that do not exist.
The text itself requires nations
during the thousand years, not merely after.
Verse 7 reinforces the same timeline: Satan is released
after the thousand years to deceive
the nations — the same nations he was prevented from deceiving earlier.
You are trying to erase nations from the millennium, but the text puts them there twice.
Your second claim — that all the prophetic passages I listed “must refer to the New Earth” — collapses under their own context.
Isaiah 65:20 says
“the child shall die at a hundred years old.” There is
death in that passage. There is
childbearing. There is
sin.
None of that exists in the New Earth (Rev 21:4).
Zechariah 14 describes nations refusing to worship and being punished with drought — rebellion and discipline, neither of which exist in the New Earth.
Micah 4 describes nations beating swords into plowshares — a transition from war to peace, not the eternal state where war is already abolished.
Psalm 72 describes kings bringing tribute — political structures that do not exist in the New Earth.
Daniel 7 describes dominion over nations — but Revelation 21 says the nations of the New Earth are healed, not ruled in judgment. These passages describe
a world with nations, governments, sin, discipline, death, pilgrimage, and worship — all realities that cannot exist in the New Earth.
Brother, I need to correct you plainly: you are forcing every kingdom passage into the eternal state because your system cannot allow nations to exist during the millennium.
But Scripture does allow it — and actually requires it.
Revelation 20 places nations
before,
during, and
after the thousand years.
The prophets describe nations living, dying, worshiping, rebelling, and being ruled by Messiah.
None of that fits the New Earth.
You are not following the text; you are trying to protect a framework.
So I stand by what I said: the millennium has nations, the prophets describe nations under Messiah’s earthly reign, and the New Earth is a different reality entirely.
Your argument does not refute the passages — it simply ignores what they say
