“So when was Jesus’ thousand year reign?”

Mat. 21:18 -— “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”

That was about the first thing Jesus said after his resurrection. That was when His reign started. Paul wrote many others repeating that.

I have noticed that no one agrees on an intrepretaton of Revelation except the very first verse, Rev. 1:1 where Jesus says “these things will happen shortly.” Everyone agrees that that does not mean what it says. They will fan dance around that forever. I don’t claim to understand Revelation, but have I sinned when I take Jesus at his word? Does that make me a Jew hater?

Most translations have Rev. 1:7 “people of the earth”.

The original Greek only has “tribes of the land”, a phrase taken from the Old Testament.

I suppose that most of you are unaware that the word “Jew” is a relatively modern word, from around 1750. That the Hebrew and Greek languages do not contain the letter J. That the original 1611 King James Version does not contain the letter J. However, there was an earlier version they consulted that did.
