Would God place a doctrinal point in the midst of a Book that has symbols that are not interpreted for us in many cases, where we are not flatly told where the symbols start and end, when Jesus and the Apostles never said anything in plain teaching manner about the millennial concept?
That's why I claim the passage in rev 20 CAN ONLY be symbolic of what the Apostles and Jesus plainly taught elsewhere in the New Testament.
Revelation 20:4 KJV And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,...
Ephesians 2:6 KJV And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: |
Apostle Paul clearly taught that the saints would rule the nations.
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1 Cor. 6:1
When you see the term "judge the world" think Gideon, Samuel, Samson, ect. The judges of Israel. We will judge the world in the same sense they judged Israel.
At present yes we are seated in Heavenly places in Christ. This is
A TYPE of what will happen at the coming of Christ Jesus. It would certainly be a very disappointing kingdom if the present situation were all there was to it.
