This is /pol/-relevant content considering the political nature of the Judaism/Christianity question.
The Bible is not an historical text describing a period in time where a Creator created reality through Genesis, nor is the NT a text telling you when a literal Jesus Christ will return to Earth to save you.
It is all allegorical, and we can go through all the finer points ITT, but the main allegorical thesis of the Bible is that each person has the potential to become God, and also wrestles with the Devil inside of themselves; light versus darkness, within each person. In a state of Ego, we compromise on the manifestations of our Devil (our sins, our actions which fall short of God's ideal), which means we never actually fully embrace and thus become God, because God is anti-sin. In our current state, we are God's children, ensnared in a battle with the Devil. In the end of days, which is unfolding now, the Devil will finally become extinguished forever, and thus the millennial kingdom will be established, and God will reign for a thousand years.
What this means, symbolically, is that things are going to get so insanely evil in the coming years (World War 3 and the unleashing of every type of sin on to planet Earth), such that no one will any longer be able to compromise or ignore the laws of God, aka, living away from sin. It will become extremely apparent to all of humanity, that sins are not only unforgivable, they're actually completely intolerable and cannot be allowed to be engaged in by anyone; it will force the survivors into a state of literal Godliness, because the Devil's havoc that was unleashed during the End Times will serve as a symbol of what happens when humans compromise on sin.
