How Can the MILLENNIUM = the Church Age ??!!

The beginning of the Millenium corresponds to the start of the Church Age.
For the "first resurrection" occurs at the start of the Millennium.
How can that occur at the start of the Church Age??
Well, Christ's Resurrection WAS at the start of the Church Age !!
And we are "in Christ", so His Resurrection is OURS as well.
So the start of the Millennium CAN be put at the start of the Church Age.

The Middle of the Millennium: How can it = the middle of the Church Age??
 During the Millennium we are to "reign with Christ".
Well what have we been doing during the Church Age??
We have been carrying out the Great Commission !!
 We have spread the Gospel and civilization from continent to continent.
Yes, there is such a thing as progressive fulfillment of the "reigning with Christ" idea.

The end of the Millennium, how does it stack up against the ending of the Church Age??
 At the end, the Dragon with 7 heads, 10 horns rises out of the abyss.
And Gog and Magog become synonymous with "all nations."
Which then attack "the camp of the saints."
That corresponds to what happens
at the close of the Church Age:
the Beast "with 7 heads, 10 horns" rises out of the abyss(Revelation 11.7; 13.1).
"Magog" ruled by Gog leads an international invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39; Zechariah 14.1-4).

Lastly, the Great White Throne judgment at end of Millenium
 lines up well with the Second Coming at end of the Church Age.
The Second Coming overthrows the Antichrist/Gog.
Plus it will = judgment upon the Leftist governments that push atheism.
Once Christ Appears over Jerusalem(Hebrews 9.28; Zechariah 14.1-4),
 that will expose the foundation of the atheist gov'ts as false, worthy of rejection.
LSS: the end of the Millennium= the end of the Church Age.

The beauty of this approach (M=CA) is this:
(1) The destruction of heaven and earth at end of Millennium is nothing
more than the "sudden destruction" toward end of Church Age -
nothing close to the end of the universe, like misguided preachers claim !!
For the sudden destruction(nuclear war) merely burns the surface of the earth.
Only the first heaven is destroyed (the ozone layer in the nothern hemisphere), rather than the second heaven( the universe).
(2)If M=CA, the main villain at end of Millennium should = the Antichrist at end of Church Age.
This gives us the ID of the Antichrist !! For Gog is the human villain at the close of the Millennium.

Now if the Church hadnt dumped Augustine's view(M=CA), then when Gorbachev (Gog) came along,
 we would have known who he is (the Antichrist).
So we wouldnt have fallen for his lies("Russia has changed, so its safe to disarm").
So the West would NOT have disarmed.
And so Russian Attack wouldn't have come upon us !!
So you can see the value of getting Revelation 20 right.
