"The glory of the Lord will shine from within us when His work within us is finished, and the feet of the Lord’s army shall march radiantly and triumphantly throughout the whole earth in the power of His might. After speaking of how the body of Christ shall arise and shine in the fullness of the glory of the Lord, the prophet Isaiah declares, “The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee (Humanists, Communists, Islamists, Buddhists, Hindus, Church Systems, sinners of all sorts, etc., etc.) shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, the city of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel” (Isa. 60:14). Why should it be that the enemies of Christ will bow down at the soles of His feet? Because the feet company of the body of Christ shall have done their work well! They are putting Satan under them and are overcoming him, thus destroying his power and bringing deliverance to every captive. What a hope! What a vision! And what a responsibility is ours!"
Great link on topic:
Book of Revelation is about Jesus's return to earth and Judgment Day. Some have theorizied that Revelation is playing out now and His return is imminent. But he'll be bringing with him fire and brimstone - not happy rainbows.
As a new Christian thanks to TGA, why are we being shown that the world is being saved and Satan is being defeated? I'm very confused on this. Other than, Satan will slowly return over the next thousand years+ and Jesus will return then to cleanse the earth fully, thus fulfilling Revelation then?
Maybe Rapture theory is true, but all Christians I've spoken with IRL said they don't believe in it.
Any thoughts on this? I see OP is also active in c/Christianity but just not a lot of discussion over there
What is TGA?
I've been a Christian for 40 years, the book of Revelation has not been a major interest to me because I did not understand it. There is a prevalent way of interpreting the book, that I have heard many times, and don't find to be true. The series that I am sharing I like a lot, it is a spiritual interpretation rather than a literal interpretation. In the spiritual interpretation Jesus is coming back right now and working in your life right now. In the literal interpretation Jesus could be coming back at any moment to rapture the church.
I surely get that you are confused by the many many doctrines swirly around, the intent is not that you be confused. Sometimes I forget that newbies are reading, I share mostly to Christians who have experience with many doctrines................I do apologize for the assumption.
The series that I'm sharing is very long and in depth, I think a New Christian could benefit from taking it from the beginning. Here is the index:

I'd really like to know if this interests you or if it is too long so you won't read it. It really worked for me, but I've been a Christian for 40 years and longer if you include being raised in the church.
I've been posting this series for about a year now, if you look at my previous posts you'll see what I'm saying. Please feel free to bust in and ask questions in any of my posts.
I grew up on the rapture theory, I have rejected it. The author of the series will get into this as he progresses.
Please let me know what you think about going through the whole thing, I'd be interested in sharing with you as you go.......
TGA = The Great Awakening :)
No, your replies are straight up my alleyway. So much to unpack lol. Your replies are great, thanks for taking the time to respond.
I'm going to check out your link tomorrow and respond to your replies as well.
I'll just say this quick: your response is the second time I've heard of "the millennial reign of Christ". I watched a YT video on Tartaria and "timeline deception", which discussed millennial reign - that Revelation already occurred and Christ ruled for 1000 years already.
We already know the Cabal has been lying to humanity for a very, very long time - pretty much everything we know about the world today is fake, embellished, or a half truth.
I feel like the YT vid is onto something because its the only way I can fit The Great Awakening in with the Bible.
I'll respond more tomorrow once I have a chance to dig in.
A lot of Christians believe in what is called the millennial reign, it is basically a doctrine derived from Revelation. Funny thing is that I have not gotten that far in this study, LOL right.........but have a feeling it is a misinterpretation of 1000 years. 1000 years is a spiritual way of saying a long time...........It is not a literal 1000 years. There are many doctrines on Jesus return, most Christians believe in a second coming, which they consider the rapture, I do not, I believe Jesus has already returned and is in his people, He is in you, and he is in me. The author of the series teaches that Jesus, is the head of the body of Christ and He will set the creation free from the bondage of corruption through his body............feet on the ground, you and me. I like the spiritual interpretation better, it is a personal choice, let me know how you feel about it. The Gospel is Christ in you, that means you have the perfect teacher in you, you have the union with God through Christ in you, the Spirit will teach you as you put effort toward learning from God in Christ in you.
Hope I'm not boring you, I'm used to this stuff, if you're interested, it's not boring at all.
