16. Our Tradition of Faith doesn't hold the rule and reign for an exact 1000 years.

Metaphorically speaking, the 1000 years is like forever in the eternal kingdom.

The early church fathers mostly say there will be tribulation on earth before the Parousia, 2nd Coming, the return of Christ to earth at the end of the age of ages. However, scripture says the time will be cut short. Christ Jesus is our merciful Saviour and limits the tribulation because of His Love for His Creation.

Could this be the initial pains of tribulation?
I don't know exactly.
Many signs though.
We were and continue in our ways against Divine Principles.
Really, really shoddy stewards of the only earth He created for us.
Inhumane treatment of one another, warring, bloodshed, greed, list goes on...

Peace be to you and yours. 💙
