The happenings of the last two months have been so profound in relation to the time measurements of the book Revelation, that I must apologise for not replying earlier. I have completed and published a follow-up to 'How near Armageddon'in the Afrikaans language.
In answer to your question, the following:
How could anyone in the past have established a "1000 year reign" if they had no idea of how to relate all the time measurements of Revelation to one another? Revelation is based on twelve time measurements, seven of which are indicated by the words "the mystery of the seven stars" in Rev 1:20 and also "upon her head a crown of of twelve stars" in Rev 12:1. Knowledge of these time measurements (made known to me through a Devine intervention in August 1996)reveals how the repetition of the words "a thousand years" in Rev 20:2-7 have to be interpreted. Revelation plays out within a period of about two thousand years after the birth of Jesus Christ ("I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.." Rev 22:12). Therefore Satan was bound up in the time that the Christian faith spread in the "three days" of the first millennium after the year AD70. After that time Satan was cast down to earth twice. This is revealed through the words of Rev 20:3 "he must be loosed" and 20:7 "Satan shall be loosed". The first time Satan (disguised to man as the the 'dragon' and the 'beasts' of Revelation)influenced the kings and rulers, as well as ordinary men, of the Christian nations to discard the Christian faith from the direct rule of the Christian nations. This happened in the time of the second millennium. In the year 2001 (that is part of the last 'short season'), the Christian nations are ruled by men, who believe that an equalization of religious beliefs will ensure world peace. Revelation reveals through time measurement that this situation will very soon come to an end for the West has become lukewarm concerning the Christian faith and the last generation can amidst a globally accepted and universal media expounded equalization of religious belief no longer understand that the way to everlasting life is through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father. At the present moment the nations are gathering to Armageddon. If this sounds unbelieveable or even rediculous to you, perhaps you can understand to what degree the Western nations have been deceived and why the Second Coming will soon be as 'a thief'.
