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 will defer to what my pastor said about Revelation, that it is like a picture, showing patterns and symbols.

In regard to patterns, he said the tribulation that Christians went thru under Nero is a pattern, and the tribulations down thru the ages, during WWII, and to this day, fit the pattern.

Christ is reigning now.
