Dear friends, this is my first post since joining up and I said then I
was the new guy on the block. So, please do bear with me. I need some
help on the following points:

1. Is there any textual difference between the TR, the Majority Text
and the Westcott-Hort texts on Revelation 20? I under stand there are
some differences between the TR and MJ texts, but are they great
differences from the WT on this chapter?
2. Concering the reall issue, the plural 1,000. Why is it that we
should not trnalsate htis as 1,000s? I realize that there are some
other place in the Greek Texts where the singular occurs, and it is
1,000, so why not 1,000s here?
3. I am in a friendly discussion with several persons on different list
fellowships and the issue of the personal, yet future, 1,000 years fule
of Christ is going to come up. Many of the others on those fellowships
will affirm that this translation must needs be 1,000 rahter than
1,000s.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Debtor, Ron Pound.
