"While the day of the Lord certainly has a chronological reality to it, the day of the Lord is first and foremost a state of being, a state of illumination, understanding, knowledge, consciousness, and experience. The day of the Lord is the garden of Eden, it’s the sabbath of God, it’s the cessation of the flesh, and the strivings, desires, and anxieties of the carnal mind. It’s the ceasing of trying by soulish strength to think up and work up the nature, will, ways, and purposes of God, and it’s entering instead into the power of His life, light, and glory. It’s the discovering and unveiling of the Christ within! That’s what John discovered in Revelation 20:1-6. He discovered the Most Holy Place. There is a people on the earth today that is beginning to experience the reality and fulfillment of all that the prophets prophesied of through the ages. The third day, the third feast of Israel, and the third realm in God are all pre-figured by the Most Holy Place in the tabernacle of Moses with its dimensions of ten cubits wide, ten cubits long, and ten cubits high — one thousand cubits square! Those dimensions correspond precisely with the “thousand years” of John’s vision, for one thousand is a figure composed of 10 X 10 X 10. Beyond the veil, in the Most Holy Place, the one thousand cubits point to the one thousand years of the reign of God’s elect upon the thrones of judgment. Both measurements are symbolisms representing the reign of Christ and all the holy sons of God in the power of the kingdom of God and the brightness of the day of the Lord!"

"I do not expect men to love me for pointing out that the understanding of even some who call themselves sons of God has not progressed one whit beyond that of the theologians in the carnal church systems of man in these things! The fact is, the Lord Jesus Christ, the firstborn Son of God, did not preach even one sermon about the “millennium” publicly to the multitudes that followed Him, nor did He teach it privately to His disciples when He opened to them the scriptures and explained the meaning of His parables, either before or after His death and resurrection. And yet, all of His teaching concerned the kingdom of God! Think about it — He was completely silent on this now popular doctrine! The apostles, in their epistles, are likewise stone silent on the subject of a thousand year reign of Christ. The Holy Spirit did show them “things to come,” as Jesus promised, but a thousand year kingdom was never proclaimed as one of those things."
"Do the sons of God reign with Christ for a thousand years, or do they reign throughout all ages until all things are subdued unto the Father, until creation is delivered from the bondage of corruption — meaning the last enemy is destroyed — and God is “all in all”
"Yes, many think Christ will come and reign for a thousand years — and He will, for one thousand years is as a day, and a day is as a thousand years, and that day is the Day of the Lord in your life."
"Individually, the thousand years is the symbol of a time in a person’s walk where he experiences the power and glory of ruling and reigning with Christ in his life."
"The figure ten is a symbol of earthly completeness, so ten times ten times ten, the cube of ten, or a thousand, is merely a symbol of multiple completeness or fullness."
"It is my conviction that it signifies something higher by far and something infinitely more meaningful and glorious than dates on the calendar! The thousand years in our text is the number ten in the third power, signifying a complete and total binding of Satan within man and a complete and total reigning with Christ IN THE FULLNESS OF THE DAY OF THE LORD."
"The Day is at hand! The night is far spent. We must go forth and lead the way for all who will follow. The day of the Lord begins with those who are enlightened, cleansed of all error, bondage, and carnality, and clothed upon with the glory of Christ’s presence, mind, and nature. The day of the Lord begins with those who have eyes to see the true purposes of God for this hour, and commit themselves to walk therein. There is glory and power and rejoicing and praise ahead for those who walk in the light of this new Day. This is the Day of deliverance, not bondage. The bands are broken. Christ is conqueror! HE holds the key to the bottomless pit, HE holds the great chain in His hand with which to bind the devil. Oh, yes — He reigns! We are not expecting the antichrist. We are not expecting the great tribulation. We are not expecting more darkness and gloominess, for we have met the Christ, we have witnessed His power, we have received His word, we have heard His heart, we have beheld His glory, and have been made one with His purposes. His hosts are invincible, and we are those hosts. Our coronation draws nigh. The kingdom of God is within us! Its glory overshadows us! Its light emanates from us! Those who are born of the Light which He is are now standing on new kingdom ground!"
"I admonish all who read these lines — be established in YOUR DAY. It is a new day, the day of the Lord! It is not the day of antichrist, nor the great tribulation, nor is it the literal millennium. It is the ever-present day of the unveiling of the glory of Christ and this day comes as a thief. Christ’s presence is beginning to fill the whole earth in a new expression and the glory of the Lord is risen upon a people. This is not a fallacy, this is the sovereign work of God in the lives of those who have been called to this Day. This is the very truth, the very understanding as the Spirit has made it known unto His called and chosen people, that we might know the counsel of God for this very Day. Though multitudes continue to walk in darkness, the darkness of the world of the carnal mind and of the fleshly religious systems of man, you shall walk in the Light and the Light shall dispel the darkness! Many stubbornly cling to those things which are passing, to the former orders and moves of God that have ended, the relics of a former day of glory, the ruins of an order that God has now shaken, but those whose hearts have responded to the call to sonship and the kingdom are taking hold of those things that are new. The former heavens are being rolled up like a scroll and set aside. There is a new order being raised up, a new heaven and a new earth for you today, saints of God!"
The day of the Lord is his wrath. It must be clear at this point of history that Satan is now out of the bottomless pit and deceiving the nation's. That means the 1000 year reign of Christ happened when all of Europe was Christian. (A time when Satan was bound - the Jews were not allowed to participate in Christian society.) This article is new agey and tries to sound esoterical but it is terrible.
You should read the last one I posted, they are in chronological order starting at Revelation 1:1. I've been a committed Christian for 40 years, I know what new age is, this is not. This is teaching the Body of Christ needs, that is why I share it. Revelation was a closed book to me for 40 years because the only interpretation I had was the one you have, it is sectarian, not new age. This teaching is the spiritual understanding of the book of Revelation.
Here's the last one I posted:

Here is the index, and you can take a look at the teacher and his life, I'm interested in what you think :)

Interesting. I have this guy book marked probably from one of your previous post. I read some. Not impressed. Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord. To what end is it for you? The day of the Lord is darkness and not light.
I'm no expert on the day of the lord, but the spiritual interpretation of Revelation is very refreshing. The literal interpretation that most Christians believe, never did work for me. Thank you for your response in my thread, I enjoyed your in put :)
My interpretation of revelation is not most Christian. But I respect and appreciate your post. It gives me a place to insert my 2 cents. Most Christians have no idea of the symbolism of revelation and how it is interpreted with the old. A spiritual interpretation only is not well grounded.
Did you notice how many essays are in the Revelation series on that sight? Eby spent decades in that type of ministry and study. I spent decades ignoring Revelation because I never had a good teacher, we all have our shortcomings, the Old Testament is one of mine. Check the first essay, see where he's comming from, I guarantee he he knows his Bible on the topic. The thing is, it is not for everybody, because most people can't get past their indoctrination to the Christian faith. My boss and me both are passionate about faith, but doctrinaly we are miles apart, I concider him a friend. Basically the lord is moving you in a direction, I can't interfere in that, but I do enjoy discussing it.
:)
Interesting again I say. My interest was sparked again and I went back and started reading from the beginning. I just came back to tell you that. I may have jumped to an early conclusion. It is well written. I'll have to see where it goes but I'm sure I'll learn something. Thanks for sharing.
It is a long, long study, my brother Mr Eby gets long winded on some topics, some of the doctrine was foreign to me, but I pressed on, been reading and sharing this study for well over a year now. Almost done with it, my intent is ro start it over again, and share it on GAW, my reasoning is the Body of Christ needs it. I greatly appreciate you sharing the good the bad. :)
