Are you among yet another group that uses hyperliteraliness?

Nope, just common sense. When I take 2000/1000 I get 2, you apparently get one. That's 2 millenia unless you are stupid. I'll leave that up to any reader to decide if you can do interpretation of Scripture any better than math. Next.

You say "nope," but the rest of your answer screams out "yes." We just did this yesterday. What is it that you have a difficulty understanding? 1000 years as used in Revelation is an idiom. So is "40 days and 40 nights" as used elesewhere in the Bible. It is not to be understood literally.

So yes, Mr. Smarty-pants, we are in the third millennia since Christ. This has absolutely no impact upon the Revelation's "Millennium," as this millenium is not a literal one.
