I wasn’t confused by it, Christ will rule with his saints for 1000 years, both Hebrew and grafted in Gentiles from Jerusalem...Satan gets loosed “for a little season”...a big rebellion ensues...then the final judgment.

I personally believe that the "thousand years" is figurative for "a very long time", like "the cattle on a thousand hills" or "a thousand years with the Lord is as a day". I don't take the view that the time period in question is precisely 365,000 24-hour days.

But that's just me, and I don't think that such points of minor disagreement are as crucial as the proper understanding of Biblical-Prophetic Israel.

Israel, in God's eyes, is not "a bunch of Christ-denying Jews living in the Canaan geographical area"; rather Israel is "Christ-believing Jews and ingrafted gentiles, wherever they live". The Apostle Paul said so! Ergo, these are the people ("Christ-believing Jews and ingrafted gentiles") whom Scripture is talking about when it refers to Biblical-Prophetic Israel.
