"God’s people are still prone to think with carnal minds. When they read in the prophecies of the Bible about the gathering of kings unto battle, and the fighting of great wars, immediately their attention is focused on world events rather than on the things of God. This fallacy-ridden practice has given rise to what has been rightly termed “newspaper eschatology” — studying current events in the arena of “this present evil world” rather than searching the mind of the Spirit for the wisdom and understanding God gives of the true thing He is doing in the earth by His Spirit! The work of God is not currently outside of us, not out there in the world of darkness with all of its plans and efforts and shamefully fleshly activities and wicked schemes. The work of God is within His people! “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13). Sons of God do not derive their theology from the newspapers nor the television news casts. What you read and hear there is not what God is doing! Nor is it what God is talking about! That is not where God’s work is seen! Nor is that what God is concerned with! The Holy Spirit of God has not come within us to show us what the world system is up to — He has come to “take the things of Christ and show them unto us!”

"There are words and phrases, signs and symbols in the Revelation that have held and still hold a place in Christian thought out of all proportion to their importance to the overall vision John saw on Patmos. For some reason they stand out like snow-capped peaks in a mountain range. Barrels of midnight oil have been burned by zealous students trying to unravel the riddle of “666,” “Antichrist,” “Armageddon,” or the “Millennium.” Not because of the over-riding importance of these things in the visions of the Revelation, but because of their prominence in Christian thought and current literature they merit special attention as we pass through the mysteries of this book. The fact is, the term “Antichrist” is altogether foreign to the book of Revelation — it never appears anywhere, not even once! And yet we constantly hear from preachers things about a supposed “Antichrist” in the book of Revelation! And “Armageddon” appears only one time in the whole book, here in our present text. The term “Armageddon” awakens in many minds a kind of superstitious dread of some awful crisis, they hardly know what, but a dreadful day that will make all other crises in history pale into insignificance."

I understand all of this completely. Seven is a perfect number, the Lord uses it the number the days of creation, and the days of our weeks and many other things. The number six is short of perfection, on the 7th Day the Lord sanctified the creation. Three sixes equals the trinity of evil, the false prophet, the antiChrist and Satan.
The millennium is the thousand year reign of Christ on Earth. It is prophesied in the Old Testament a hundred times if not more. Jesus Christ will return to the temple in Jerusalem and sit on the throne of David, ruling over the Earth with a rod of iron.
Maybe your boy has been blinded by God, if he can't see these things?
