Apparently I misunderstood. A great deal of discussion has gone on whether Jesus came in the clouds physically or spiritually when the Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed in 70 AD.
Besides, the second coming comes at the end of the "thousand years" not the beginning, at least according to the amil/postmil positions.
That's my understanding as a premillenialist. However, I thought it was stated that the 1,000 yr reign was a symbolic figure to the amil/postmil believers.
The "thousand years" is a symbol and represents the period of time when Satan is bound from deceiving the nations and the saints are reigning with Christ. The reign itself, however, is not symbolic, it is quite real.
