Chris.
There is a time-frame for all things in the Plans of God. This speaks about the thousand years being ended. Different scholars have differing ideas about what all this really means, it is sometimes difficult to fully understand the Book of Revelation. These scholars, will be amazed and astounded as these last days begin to be fulfilled. When this unfurls and begins to happen, True Believers will clearly understand and the Teaching of the scholars, where correct, and most of it is, will be clearly understood.
