It has only been lately that I have even been familiar with the words premillennial and amillennial but I guess I have always been the latter
And I base my belief mainly on the following scriptures
Mathew 24
26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Meaning there will be no carcass
John 14
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 6
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
He receives the saved unto himself at the last day.
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 worshipped 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.
Rev 20:6
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
So I suppose I believe that we have been living in a physical kingdom with Christ in his spiritual kingdom.
Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
The ones in Rev 20:4 may have literally lived again and reigned in the spiritual kingdom of God.
Rev 20:16 may actually be saying that the rest of the dead would literally live again after the thousand years were finished.
We are getting prepared in this world to go to the one Christ is preparing, but it is hard for me or any one else to separate the two.
Easy for me...Two Kingdoms...Jesus talks about a wedding in his parables...There's a bride...And, there are guests at the wedding...There's a lot more there going on than one might think...
A spiritual kingdom where Christians will reign with Christ while simultaneously a physical kingdom where humans live in peace for a thousand years...
Over 30,000 verses in that bible...They aren't all there just talking about fairy tales...
Why do you believe the verses you noted popint to no millennial reign on Earth? Excuse me if I misread your post.
From Dr. Wavoord's article:
The question of the disciples, “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6), occasioned no denial from the Lord Jesus, but merely the reminder that it was not for them to know the “time.” The request of the mother of James and John for preferment of her sons in the kingdom was not refused on the ground that no future earthly kingdom was in prospect, but that the places of honor were reserved for those chosen by the Father (Matt 20:20-23). While the argument from silence is never decisive, Christ also told His disciples, “If it were not so I would have told you” (John 14:2). If no earthly kingdom was in prospect, it seems strange also in view of the prevailing Jewish concept of an earthly kingdom that Christ should tell His disciples, “I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Luke 22:29-30). The positive testimony of Revelation 20 with its six references to a reign of Christ on earth for one thousand years while hotly disputed and denied significance by the amillenialists is nevertheless their stubborn foe.
If this isn't demonstrative of a Millennial Reign of Christ on Earth you also have the actual behavior of the Apostles after Pentecost. Believers gathered with them in Jerusalem waiting in anticipation of the coming Kingdom.
