When you disagree with someone on a viewpoint, it is expedient that you first learn what that viewpoint is. Understanding comes first. Disagreement comes later.

And do you really understand my viewpoint?

Yes, you believe that the "millennium" is now, Christ is reigning from the right hand of the throne of God, that when He returns, there will be a new heavens and new earth. This view is typically called "amillennialism." But that title is really a misnomer, since those who hold the view believe we are in the "millennial" reign of Christ now. You view the 1000 years mentioned in the book of the Revelation as symbolic of the period of time between the ascension of Christ and his return. He will return and judge the living and the dead and then install the eternal state.

I understand the view... and since I utilize a literal hermeneutic, I reject the view. (I do like my friends who hold the view though... I don't reject them) :)
