Excellent article. I'd steer clear of equating an exact 1000 years to a day mathematics to prophecy. I think the point is, time is inconsequential to God who is transcendent of time and space.
The point is, from God's perspective, the time is indeed at hand. And all generations should reckon the same since no man knows the day nor hour that the events will truly take place.

What events are you referring to?
How is it Revelation means to "reveal", yet you're saying "no man knows"?

It reveals that the wickedness we endure in this world will be judged, Christ will return, and the Messianic Kingdom will be stablished. And after this, it reveals a New Creation. And so we wait and pray in loving expectancy for our Deliverer to arrive.

Hey this is what prophecy teaching is all about. Apocalypse means the revealing, but the prophecy teacher says it's a mystery? What are they actually teaching you?

Re: Do you think Revelations is enigmatic?
One is FREE to speculate?
Revelation 22:18-19?
Seriously?

One can speculate on details regarding fulfillment. Even Preterist scholars have speculated on elements of Preterist interpretation. However, the Revelation reveals the overall truth that the wickedness of the world will be judged, Christ will return, and His Kingdom will be stablished. Followed by a New Creation.

Revelation 22:18-19 overlooks speculation?
Also what does stablish mean?
Do you mean establish?
