(Rev 14:1; 7:4) > The 1000 years is a symbolic number and does not mean a literal, exact 1000 years. It is like saying, "a bazillion years." That is the sense of how the number was used. The 1000 year millennium doctrine is a misreading of scripture. If the scripture had said, "1000 days" that might have meant a precise 1000 years, and we have examples of that, for example the "1260 days." -- Nightbulb | https://blog.nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
