"Millennium" or rather "a thousand years" is the parable term chosen by God to translate "a time" of the "time, times, and half a time" of Christ's reign upon the earth. But it is important to understand that it is a translation of something eternal, and therefore, is not actually a time per se, but a figure of speech referring to the revelation of a timeless and eternal fact within the would-be reality of "created" time in a "created" world. In other words, all of God's eternal reality, is simply manifests within the created media of time which God created for His acts of revelation, as a witness, meaning: for the judgement.

So...if you really want to know the greater truth of God and not just speculate about the [objects] of the parable, but rather learn the [subjects] thereof...the question is, is Christ reigning now? And If He is on the throne, when did He begin His reign? And how long has it [really] been now?

And then...hopefully, you will realize that most of what has been taught about the thousand years of Christ's reign upon the earth...is nonsense. Of course, that means a whole new [eternal] reality to the age old questions that have been the subject of more unfounded conjecture than their years.

I love God's Word and it will be as it is literally scripted... for this is it's intended purpose in the living

It will be the other way around,you will realize some day that what you believe is wrong,the Bible is to be taken  literally .

.the question is, is Christ reigning now? And If He is on the throne, when did He begin His reign? And how long has it [really] been now?

Is Jesus reigning now on earth? Is that what you see if you look around you?

Do you believe in replacement theology?

1. Where have you been getting your information? The bible says that "all language" has been "confounded" by God Himself, that it is "all parables", that it "is spirit", and it "must be discerned spiritually." Oh, and what is "literal" according to God, is "not of this world." All of this is merely "created."
2. Yes, Jesus is on the throne, and reigning on the earth, and has been since "all authority in heaven and earth was given to Him 2,000 years ago. And I see Him reigning with every soul whom opens the door when He knocks, of which there are many every day.
3. I would have to look up "replacement theology", so, no, I cannot say that I believe in it.

Ooops..... a common mis-understanding right here, contradicting yourself in this short quote.

When Jesus comes back (returns) and reigns on earth ,  He will be physically present and ruling with an iron hand (very strictly) as written, over all the world / all the countries/  from Jerusalem.  Any country/people who do not do as He says concerning one or more of the required feasts,  He will withhold rain from that country/people. 

Ruling as Lord and Savior in every one who is HIS,  ekklesia called and chosen by YHVH, born again by HIS WILL (not of the will o fman, nor of the flesh)  immersed in Yeshua and Living His Life in faith,

is NOT Jesus ruling on earth/ reigning on the earth.   Not supposed to be either, not yet. 

One other thing ,  "there are many every day" may be true, but remember what Jesus says is always true "Few find the narrow road to life , while many stay on the wide road to destruction"  i.e.  don't construe "many" or "few" differently than Jesus does.

No contradiction.

"Christ has come [again] in the flesh" - mine, and all who receive Him, who answer when He knocks. This is the test given by the apostle John to test all spirits. This is my testimony in accordance which His proclamation.

Well,  not quite.   It is according to what you think was His proclamation and the meaning thereof.  That's why there is still a mistake pending to be revealed in your testimony while seeking Truth and seeking YHVH'S KIngdom.

I have no idea where you got those idea(s),  and perhaps to you they glisten like real diamonds, but they are cz (cubic zirconia/ fake diamonds),  and this can probably be shown gradually even on this forum,  though I am not sure of that,  to your saitsfaction of what is actually true.

Judging by your comments, you are not in any position to say one way or the other, for you have made an error in the context. Let me show you:

1 John

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

...You see, the context is "who is in you", that being Christ, the subject of the test. Which would be easy to mistake as the Holy Spirit...but that is not all of what the scriptures say. But rather, it says:

John 14

"I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.  I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.  At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you."

Therefore, it should be clear that John is not speaking of when Jesus first came as a babe in a manger, but when He comes [again] in the Spirit. And He specifically says, not in the distant future, but in "a little while"...speaking to His apostles, not a final generation as it has wrongly been taught.

No,  the lack and/or error of understanding , for whatever reason, is in whoever it is who taught you , whoever you trusted in error.

As long as you continue to trust whoever that was, in error,  there's not much likelihood that you will change your mind .

Now you speak against God, who taught me. For no man has taught me, but God Himself.

mmmm fellas,

This is a blog, meaning my thoughts. If you want to debate then start a thread and do just that.

Thank you, Marilyn.
