And so since it’s been about 2,000 years since Christi died and the Temple has been demolished, the thousand year reign of Christ is over, the Battle of Armageddon happened, and Satan has been thrown into the lake of fire and can’t deceive the nations any more.
That sure explains the paradise on earth we are now experiencing, doesn’t it?
Cronos lives in a Millennium ruled by Catholic g-sus where child rape, abortion, sex-slavery, gay marriage, suicide, and war are the part of everyday life.
When you get nothing but copy & paste from a paid propagandist (Russian perhaps?) what else should we expect?
Perhaps you didn’t read it
the Millennium is a spiritual reign of Christ that has been present in the Church since Pentecost. In other words, the Millennium is an ecclesiastical kingdom, founded at Pentecost.

The book of Revelations is a book filled with numbers as symbols - the “seven spirits” for instance - 7 is the number for completeness. Hence the 7 spirits = the one Holy Spirit of God.
Ditto for 1000 — that is 10 x 10 x 10 and in Hebrew repeating something thrice is for a superlative - hence the Holy, Holy, Holy and also the 6 6 6 = where 6 is 1 less than 7 so incompleteness
You say paradise on earth - still sticking earthly material aspects on to the spiritual.
the kingdom of God is in the here and now, present in and through the Church. Yet it is a mixed reality that will only be perfectly realized at the end of history. This current “mixed” state can be seen as the Church on earth which now grows in the field of the world with both weeds and wheat until the harvest when Christ says he will “tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned. But gather the wheat into my barn” (Matt 13:30).
e have been hearing about the Kingdom of Heaven parables in the Gospel of St. Matthew. Although there are parables with this same motif in the other Gospels, we see St. Matthew focusing on the Kingdom of Heaven because he is trying to prove to his audience, Jewish Christians (those who were either converting to Christianity or those who had already converted), that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Davidic and Solomonic Kingdom.
St. Matthew along with the other Gospel writers tells us in their accounts that the Kingdom of God is going to be much different than what they were actually expecting. Most Jews believed that the Messiah would return to reestablish the kingdom that David built, including the reestablishment of the Temple, which Solomon had built. Even in Acts of the Apostles 1:6, the Apostles ask Jesus the question, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” – they were speaking about the Davidic kingdom.
Yet, The Kingdom of heaven was inaugurated on earth by Christ in the form of the Church as the seed and beginning of this kingdom
Jesus invitation to enter his kingdom comes in the forms of parables, a characteristic feature of his teaching. Through his parables he invites people to the feast of the kingdom, but he also asks for a radical choice: to gain the kingdom, one must give everything. Words are not enough; deeds are required. The parables are like mirrors for man: will he be hard soil or good earth for the world? What use has he made of the talents he has received? Jesus and the presence of the kingdom in this world are secretly at the heart of the parables. One must enter the kingdom, that is, become a disciple of Christ, in order to “know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.” For those who stay, “outside,” everything remains enigmatic.
1 Cor 1 12 thanking God our Father for making us fit to share the light which saints inherit,[2] 13 for rescuing us from the power of darkness, and transferring us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.
