Christ's “appearing” is judgment day.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ,who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: (2 Tim. 4:1)

Judgment day is after the thousand years.

What'd you do with the preceeding part of the chapter??? The chapter doesn't start at verse 11...

Rev 20:4 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 had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Someone's going to reign with Jesus for a thousand years...Apparently it won't be you...

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

I'll be taking part in the first ressurection...

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Hey, there I am...I see me...I won't be having any part of that judgement you'll be at...

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

These guys will be judged according to their works...That ain't me...Going to be millions of Catholics at this judgement as well...Good luck to ya...

My judgement takes place a thousand years before this:

2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

My bad works will be burned up and that fire burning those works will save me...

1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

You don't get rewarded for being bad...I may get a few rewards...I may get none...But I'll be there nonetheless...

Oh, and BTW, Jesus Christ appeared numerous times in the Ot...And His appearing takes place more times in the NT that you have figured out...

No problem there.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Glad you are’t in charge of my soul.

In any event, Rev. 20 says nothing at all about Christ reigning on the earth. The “thousand years” happens to be the time period in which we are presently living. It goes from the “first resurrection” (John 5:24,25; Eph. 2:6) and binding of Satan (Matt. 12:26-30) until Christ’s appearing and judgment of all men at the white throne (2 Tim. 4:1; Rev. 20:11).

I'll be taking part in the first ressurection...

All who have a part in the first resurrection (Christ’s resurrection) will be saved.

Hmmm. Does that mean you believe Christ “appeared” in AD70 when Jerusalem was sacked and the temple destroyed?

Or are you denying the bodily appearing of Christ at His Second Coming when He judges the world and delivers up the kingdom to the Father (1 Cor. 15:23-25)?
