“We read in Revelation 20:4-6 that we will be His priests and live and reign with Him for a thousand years.”

Hi AG,
One thing, we have no disagreement, Our Lord’s glorified body and one day the faithful too will have glorified bodies. God’s plan. In a prophecy from the 16th century, at the Resurrection, Our Lord’s glorified body is described. It’s amazing to read, I should paste it.
I replied in the thread to say absolutely NO to Jesus reigning during the 7th Day physically, ruling on the earth in His person during the new time, the Millennium as some call it. He will NOT rule on this earth in His person. It’s going to be a SPIRITUAL reign. There will be many miracles and signs of God during this new time, oh my, the earth will be transformed! This new time, Catholics know it as the Era of Peace. Yes, the verse “reign with Him”...but how?
Look at the verse below,
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth and hearthe the words of this prophecy and keepth those things which are written in it, for the time is at hand.
John’s Revelation is mysterious, a help in understanding this prophecy is found in prophecy, in current prophecy. Read what God states about the 7th Day in a prophetic message from 2007. He speaks of the new time of God, the millennium, the 7th Day.
He tells you to read of it in Isaiah 65:17-25 and in Revelation 1:1-7. Revelation 1:1-7...is a lead up, it is more about the end of the 6th Day. Soon, very soon in the “awakening”, the Great Warning, part of the end of the 6th Day, prophecy of the saints and current private revelation tell us, when the Great Warning happens, we will see, all the world will see a Cross in the sky. Revelation 1:7.
p.s. the footnote to Revelation 1:3, shows, sometimes Scripture verses speak of two periods of time, of things passed that have happened and yet refer to events come. A double reference.

excerpt from the 2007 message:
God Speaks Will You Listen
....”My people, this era of yours is soon coming to an end. The sixth day of creation is finished. The seventh day will be called the era of peace.
This is a mystery which has been hidden from mankind for many years. My prophets have described these times to my people. Isaiah 30:26: And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wounds of his people, and
shall heal the stroke of their wound. Now read Isaiah 65: 17-25. This is a description of my era of peace. To repeat myself, the seventh day of creation is the fulfillment of the era of peace. Now read Apocalypse 20:1-7. These verses also describe the era of peace. The casting of the man of sin and his followers into the pool of fire, marks the end of the 6th day of creation. At that time, I will renew my creation and the seventh day will begin. This day has been described as lasting 1000 years.”....

Isaiah 65:17-25
For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former things shall not be in remembrance, and they shall not come upon the heart. [18] But you shall be glad and rejoice for ever in these things, which I create: for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and the people thereof joy. [19] And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying. [20] There shall no more be an infant of days there, nor an old man that shall not fill up his days: for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
[21] And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them. [22] They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of my people, and the works of their hands shall be of long continuance. [23] My elect shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth in trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity with them. [24] And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear. [25] The wolf and the lamb shall feed together; the lion and the ox shall eat straw; and dust shall be the serpent’s food: they shall not hurt nor kill in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
Revelation 1:1-7
[1] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John, [2] Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. [3] Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. [4] John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, [5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
[1] Things which must shortly come to pass: and again it is said, ver. 3, The time is at hand— This cannot be meant of all the things prophesied in the Apocalypse, where mention is made also of the day of judgment, and of the glory of heaven at the end of the world. That some things were to come to pass shortly, is evident, by what is said to the Seven Churches, chap. 2 and 3, Or that the persecutions foretold should begin shortly. Or that these words signified, that all time is short, and that from the coming of Christ, we are now in the last age or last hour. See 1 John 2. 18.
[6] And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. [7] Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him.
They appear to be from this book. I have read just a few paragraphs but will try to read the whole book shortly.
Has the Catholic Church authenticated or approved of Cletus Schefers' prophecies?
