The resurrection is very shortly before Judgement Day.

Revelations is symbols, like a painting.

Shows patterns, using metaphors to explain them.

Sorry no cigar on all points!

The first resurrection is 1000 years before “judgement day,” just as Revelation 20 states.

There are few symbols in the Revelation. It is the interpretation of John to the very real events that he was allowed to witness. Military hardware of our day was not easily describable, so John did the best he could.

There is one pattern to the final 18 chapters: The unfolding of the increasing tyranny and malfeasance of the governments of men.

I was just pointing out that there have always been folks who interpreted the events in Revelation as future events, even going back as far as 160 AD. It’s not a new interpretation, and just because some have disagreed with the future events position, it doesn’t invalidate the position.
