What about the other thousand years?
>>>What about the other thousand years?<<<
I agree with SeahawkFan in #18 that a thousand years is just a representative number for long time period, in contrast with all the short time periods specifically mentioned in other parts of the Revelation: e.g. five months; forty and two months; one thousand two hundred and three score days; ten days; and three days and a half. It does seem to be the only time period mentioned where there is not a lot of detail.
LOL! I believe it was John Otis who commented on this verse…
“And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.” (Jud 15:16 KJV)
…with, “Can we be certain it was not 999 men?”
Or, on this one…
“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” (Deu 7:9 KJV)
…with, “What about the 1001st generation?”
