So the differences that we have are based on timeline. When I read Revelation I read it chronologically. If you read from Revelation 19-22 in a chronological order it all makes sense. How come you don't do this?
of course its not chronological...he did'nt see the visions in chronological order...armegeddon is metion back in rev 6, and is still being mentioned in the final chapters.
but we already know the dragon, devil, satan is talking about the roman empire in revelation 12, rev 12 tells us that the red dragon tried to kill christ when he was born, b4 he was called up to his throne...obviously the dragon represents the roman empire.
so if that same dragon is bound 1000, its obviously talkin about the fall of the roman empire which happen to just be 1000 years, before they came back into power in the 1400's and conqured the new world and enslaved and colonised the israelites.
rev 20:7 is talkin about the battle of amregeddon spoken of in ezekiel 38, where it mentions gog and magog
rev 20: 4 speaks of the mark of the beast n those how didnt recieve it will reign with him 1000 years, so obviously christ at this point will have fought against the beast and defeated them and thrown them in the lake of fire as spoken of in rev 19:19, which is the battle of armegeddon...
there only guna be 1 final battle not two...you are confusing the destruction of the beast and false prophet with the dragon, satan mentioned in rev 12 and rev 20 which is the acnient roman empire and its revivial.
rev 20: 11-14, is the same events as rev 20:4-6...they both speak of christ defeating the beast and the final judgement, reussurection of the dead...this all happens at the 7th trumnpet.
1 thessololians 4: . 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
isaiah 26: 19Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
daniel 12: 1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
1 corinthians 15: 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
^^ its all speaking of the same events...the return of christ and the judgemnt of the living and the dead...how can this happen twice ?...this happens prior to the 1000 year reign with christ.
notice how after the dead are raised, that is when death will be swallowed up in victory like mentioned in revelation 20: 13
