1000 year earthly reign? only one chapter of the entire Bible speaks of a 1000 year reign (Rev. 20:1-10) that specific chapter is in a book that is supposed to be understood in code  “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants––things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John” (Rev. 1:1, NKJV)  premillennialists need to tell us what a 1000 year reign signifies

1000 year earthly reign? a 1000 year reign in Revelation 20  doesn’t mention the second coming of Christ in association with it  it doesn’t mention a “bodily” resurrection  it doesn’t mention Christ on earth  it doesn’t mention a literal throne on earth  it doesn’t mention Jerusalem  it doesn’t mention “us”... “they lived and reigned” ONLY SPECULATION MENTIONS THESE THINGS IN THE 1000 YR REIGN!

“LAST DAYS” & THE 1000 YEAR REIGN scripture speaks of us being in the “last days” since the New Testament time  “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son...” (Heb. 1:1, 2, NKJV, cf. Acts 2:16, 17) if there is a new 1000 year dispensation of time coming, then we cannot be in the “last days”

Three Questions Can Jesus reign on earth in Jerusalem? Can Jesus sit on David’s Throne in heaven? Is Jesus already reigning in the kingdom?

Jesus Cannot Reign On Earth KING JECONIAH, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days; For none of his descendants shall prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling anymore in Judah’” (Jer. 22:30, NKJV)  “childless” as pertaining to having a child sit on the throne  shall not prosper  none of his descendants shall prosper sitting on throne and ruling in Judah

Cannot prosper ruling in Judah Jesus was a descendant of Jeconiah (Matt. 1:11, 12)  therefore, Jesus cannot prosper ruling in Judah! Jerusalem is a city in Judea  therefore, Jesus cannot prosper ruling in Jerusalem!

Cannot prosper ruling in Judah premillennialists want Jesus to rule where he cannot prosper!  if he rules in Judah, he cannot prosper  if he prospers, he breaks the scripture (Jn. 10:35)  is not premillennialism a doctrine of demons?

Gabriel, “... Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end” (Lk. 1:30-33, NKJV)  throne + reign = kingdom Jesus Can Rule On David’s Throne In Heaven

Peter, “ 29 Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 "he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. (Acts 2:29-31, NKJV) Jesus Can Rule On David’s Throne In Heaven

Peter, “ 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, 35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."’ 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:29-31, NKJV) Jesus Can Rule On David’s Throne In Heaven

Peter (Acts 2:30-36)  the resurrection  the ascension  the falling of the Holy Spirit testifies that Jesus is reigning on throne if not reigning, the resurrection, ascension and Holy Spirit baptism should have been deferred! Jesus Presently Rules on His Throne in His Kingdom in Heaven

Mark 9:1, “And He said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power’” (NKJV)  if the kingdom was not established, there better be some really, really old, eyewitness of Christ walking on earth! The Kingdom Did Come!

“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Col. 1:13, 14, NKJV)  deliverance from the power of darkness  conveyance into the kingdom  synonymous with redemption and forgiveness  if no kingdom, why should there be any redemption? The Kingdom Did Come!

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:3, 5, NKJV) HOLY SPIRIT having been born again (1 Pet. 1:23)
