You are doing exactly what I said, demanding that the entire Holy Scriptures be interpreted through the lens of Revelation 20. This is like the game that is played by the Romanists, where every time you show them to be wrong in the Bible they turn to their assertion that the Roman Magisterium and only the Roman Magisterium can interpret the Bible, pointing to Matthew 16:19. Anything contrary to their interpretation is “some allegorized, meaningless pile of nothing.”

You have built your certainty on Revelation 20. And all the verses that you have piled on your false interpretation of it prove nothing, for they were put to false use. You have built your house on the sand of your “literal” millenium and it will be as Jesus said in Matthew 7:26-27. I have built on the spiritual Rock that followed Israel from Egypt to Canaan, which Rock is Christ. And thus it will be as Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-25.

You spend so much time scanning headlines for the latest signs to undergird your notions about the Bible (much like others read every story of this or that apparition of Mary or image of Jesus in a burnt piece of toast) and arguing with people on FR. Don’t you ever consider whether it is time well spent?

Again, I will let the readers determine who has let the Holy Scriptures speak and who has clouded them. As they do, let them consider whether you have really answered my post with your screechy demands.

I will rest in Christ my Lord, the Light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of His people Israel.
