We don't arbitrarily create these things. That is true. They are the product of your theology. Which is product of your misguided interpretive method.

Wrong.

Each item I mentioned appears in scripture. We don't create them.

You can say that how we interpret them disagrees with how you interpret them, but you cannot say they don't appear.

The items may be in Scripture, it's the interpretation that is in question. Previously you wrote:

You know that the Ezekiel Temple is in the context of the Davidic King sitting on the Davidic Throne.

Jesus is the Davidic king (Matt. 1:1) and He is seated on the throne of David (Acts 2:29-36; Heb. 12:2).

You know that the premil's don't just create things like the 1000 year reign....they appear in scripture.

But premils assert that the number 1000 is to be taken literally when it appears in a book full of symbols. A book full of nice round perfect numbers.

You know that the question of the apostles to Jesus about the restoration of the kingdom CAN BE seen easily (if not best) from this perspective.

That is an assertion. It only apparently fits "best" because of your presupposition that the kingdom will be restored to national Israel in the future. Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever taught that.
