I appreciate that Hank does not become frustrated with the questions. I don't understand why Eschatology is so difficult for some folks. If you truly believe that Jesus is the Christ. Then when your body dies(last breath ) then your next breath will be in heaven(living soul) with Jesus. When the second coming of Jesus happens, those heavenly souls return to earth with Jesus to be united with their imperishable bodies in a new heaven in a new earth(Eden returned) where God walks among us(Jesus our Lord and Savior).

Thank You Hank .... God loves You !!!

Hank, please help! What about Rev. 20:7? "And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison.."

Hi Hank. There is no 7 years of Tribulation stated anywhere in the Bible. Certainly not in Revelation. Great message on the Millenium by the way.

Amen! Hank, I used to listen to you on the radio back in the 90's and met you at a signing in a book store. I just want to say thank you for teaching the truth about the millennium. In my own studies, I have come to the conclusion that the millennium is another way of telling the story of the final years. The following is an excerpt from a study that I wrote on the end-times: "'...So, to me, the account of the Millennium appears to be an explanation of the end of everything that has to do with Satan. “It is done” (Revelation 21:6). Satan does not get to carry on, he is finished and will be cast into the fires of hell along with the antichrist, the false prophet, and the unsaved. He will not be in charge of anything or anyone in hell. He will be getting burned and tormented forever. No one has to fear him anymore. Holy God in heaven is in charge of hell; He created it."' I believe that when Jesus said to John, "It is done," it meant that it is all done at that point; so the account millennium, in my mind, has to be another account of the end of time that closely aligns the first account of the end. I am a former pre-tribber that has become a post-tribulation, amillennialist through many years of studying only the Bible for eschatological information, prayer, and restudying just to make sure that I am on the correct path in my line of thought. Trying to teach what I now know to be true is like swimming against the current in a high-pressure water line.

The "last day" was the last day of the old covenant system in 70AD. Heaven is the new world. The concept of a "1,000" years was very popular during that time. It came from Plato's Myth of Er. They believed that from the time you died until the time of judgment was 1,000 years.

John clearly spoke about two resurrections a thousand years apart from each other. Blessed are those who have part in the first resurrection.

Two questions Hank #1. Who holds your views on eschatology? #2. IN revelation 20 the thousand years of the Millennial reign are mentioned six times, if that is allegorical as you would say then your misinterpreting the text. Thoughts

This is exactly what it looks like when you prioritize traditions rather than the Word of God…

People are free to believe deceivers who teach against inspired scripture like this guy. Good Luck!

It would take 1000 years to unscramble all the false doctrines taught on the world today concerning the 1000 years!

I’m not great a quoting chapter and verse, but God did say, “ I wanted your kindness, not your sacrifices.” The fact that followers of Lord Jesus Christ have gone without animal sacrifices and burnt offerings for almost 2000 years testifies that God was finished with that practice.

He says “we believe we’ll be resurrected into a fallen world for another 1000 years”. Yes that’s what we believe not because we came up with it, but rather because that’s what the Bible teaches. It’s not our own teaching, it’s John’s in the book of revelation. ”The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.“ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

One thing we shouldn't believe is that the description of the devil being bound applies to his present condition. Look how deceived the majority of the world are. Look how the world lies in wickedness like the apostle John said.

Gee aren't we so lucky that you're here to tell us what we should think that just saves us the trouble of using our mind will and emotions . What God do you serve?

Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order ) Christ returns one time in the future. However, there are several different visions of His return shown from different perspectives in the Book of Revelation. Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet? He comes on a horse in chapter 19, right after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Chapter 20? Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? (The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time? Are there wicked angels in the pit in Rev. 9:11? If the beast "ascends" from the pit in Rev. chapter 11, where was the beast before that time? Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness? Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.

Pre-trib teachers seem to ignore Rev 20:4-6. "This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead do not come to life until after the 1,000 years are complete." There is only one resurrection before the 1,000 years! The two witnesses will rise on the day of the Lord in the first and only resurrection before the 1,000 years. Teach the truth. Teach: The sacrifices will start and end before Jesus returns. We rise with the two witnesses on the day Jesus returns.

While I appreciate that 1,000 can sometimes be used as a stand in for "a long indeterminate period of time". Rev 20, does not have that feel: "... until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be let out for a little while." Even if we accepted the long indeterminate period of time idea, there is still a period of time that Hank doesn't address here that he seems to reject outright on principle. So I remain respectfully unconvinced.

And I saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them. That were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God and which not had not worship, the Beast, neither is image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads are in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ. A thousand years The only people I've seen raining here are the ones who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus. It does not say they reign on earth. I think we should be honest enough to say that no one knows it all.

Truth matters, life matters more, is a lie. I would die for the truth. Nice catch phrase. Ezekiel 40-48. Read the entire Book of Revelation and pray for the Holy Spirit to teach you.

More ice cream for bedwetters.
