Rev 20:1-6 The Millenium

I'm going to try and seperate this post because hmmm.... Well it's just difficult to give my opinion on such a debated topic.

So a summary of what the word says first.

Rev 20:1-6 The Millenium

John sees an angel with a key to the bottomless pit and a chain, with which he takes satan and binds him for a thousand years. During this time, satan is unable to deceive the nations until he is released. At the end of the thousand years, satan will be released for a short time.

After this, John sees thrones where "those to whom the authority to judge was committed," and the martyrs and those who did not worship the beast or its image will come to life and reign with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until after the thousand years is over. The ones who are raised are considered blessed and will be priests and reign with Christ.

So what do i think? I really do not know. I feel like this passage can be used to argue pre or post-millenialism. Well for sure I'm not amillenialist. Maybe this is bad because I know Berean leaders encourage us to study and take a stance one way or another, but at the moment I don't really care. I'm very excited that christ will come and reign! Whether the tribulation comes first or after, I don't really care much. After reading this passage it seems to me that, in light of yesterdays passage, the millenium will come after the tribulation. Verses like 4, talking about those who did not worship the beast and bear his mark makes me believe that the tribulation will have already occured at this point.

Either way, this passage makes me excited for Christ's return. I feel like a minority, and, well... as a Christian, I am. But when Christ comes back, His kingdom will be the one kingdom! the one nation! and we will reign with him! We are subjects and servants but not just subjects and servants we reign too! He promises that we will reign with Him.

Well I'm super tired so thats all the blogging I'll devote to this passage. Good night ^^
