Now this is really interesting...You have a heretic running in the 1st century speaking about the millenial reign of Jesus Christ and then the Apostle Paul was instructed to put the same event into the scriptures...
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Cerinthus believed in the Millennial reign of Jesus; the Apostle John believed in the Millennial reign of Jesus and wrote it as scripture...And the religion who rejects the Millennial reign of Jesus even put it in their version of the scriptures and they claim it is false...
Guess I'll just ignore the History of Eusebius and believe the Apostle John...
No one I know "rejects the millennial rein of Christ". Where did you get THAT idea?
“...The thousand year reign of Christ is another image for the kingdom of Christ. After all, it is the KINGDOM that is prophesied by the Old Testament prophets; it is the kingdom that is declared by Christ and the Apostles. Neither the Old Testament prophets nor the New Testament apostles speak of a “millennium” (except in the single, debated, ___figurative___ passage in Revelation). AND the thousand year reign of Christ is most definitely a “kingdom,” in that Christ “rules and reigns” in it.
Why is the millennium not the kingdom prophesied in the OT and declared in the NT? Why not the very kingdom that Christ himself established in the first century?”
