But again, this doesn't rule out a Millennial kingdom.


Except the city with that throne doesn’t descend from heaven until Revelation 21, and that’s after the new heaven and earth appears, with no oceans on it:

Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God

That’s the unsaved who are judged for speaking IDLE words.

A persons belief in eschatology is not an idle word, and the clear context in that passage is that an evil man will be judged for speaking evil words.

Therefore using that text to claim damnation for someone’s mistaken interpretation of eschatological events, is wildly out of context.

Jesus told us in Matthew 24, that any messiah who shows up anywhere on the earth, without first being seen coming out of the sky like lightning does, is a false messiah- so no believer will think the anti messiah is the real one when he claims he is.

See also Revelation 1:7 when He returns on a cloud in the air, every eye shall see Him.

The Antichrist can’t do that.
When Jesus Christ Returns In The Clouds Its (Fire Time) Something You Disregard Seen Below

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation?

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ?

(Behold, I Make All Things New)


2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

When Jesus Christ Returns In The Clouds Its (Fire Time) Something You Disregard Seen Below

When He returns it’s crystal clear He uses flaming fire on evildoers - not on everyone. He in fact lands on mount olive and saves the city of Jerusalem from destruction by armies - which is ridiculously redundant if He was just going to destroy the world by fire, anyway.

2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

The word says twice, once in the OT and once in the NT, that the world is without end.

Thus either scripture contradicts itself, or the world is cleansed of evildoers by fire, then restored completely and renewed to original Edenic condition, being made as new.

Scripture in fact says 1/3 of the world is burned up, and one third of mankind killed - not the entire world.

I keep telling you that if your proof texts mean the world is literally burned up and replaced, then it was literally destroyed by water, and it’s been a different planet since then.

2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

It was cleansed by water, then will be cleansed by fire.

As I said, scripture tells us 1/3 of the earth is burned up - not all.

Destroyed by fire, perished by water - neither one means the earth ceases to exist, and a brand new planet is created that we are moved to.

2Pe 3:5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,

2Pe 3:6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

2Pe 3:7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

The Ezekiel 47 sanctuary is about the Millennial sanctuary. It will manifest with Christ's return to begin His future "thousand years" reign on earth.

The following happens right after Christ's feet touch down upon the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem at His return. Those "living waters" are about God's River that will flow out of the Ezekiel sanctuary described in Ezekiel 47...

Zech 14:6-9
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one.
KJV

Zech 14:16-19
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
KJV


The new Jerusalem described in Revelation 21 says there is NO temple there, so that must mean the Ezekiel temple, or sanctuary, is ONLY for Christ's future "thousand years" reign. God's River returns for the Millennium, and a Millennium sanctuary is there in Jerusalem, but no temple after the Millennium.

That's a good point. So you believe Revelation 21 comes after Revelation 20 in time?

Is it possible that 21:9ff describe the Millennial period? After all, we don't see the Tree of Life until chapter 22.

Hmm.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Only heaven is dissolved. This verse when talking about the earth, only says the works will be dissolved. Nothing in these verses claim earth itself is dissolved. The phrase "the earth also" can be interpreted as having the same action, or that phrase can be saying, in reference to the whole of heaven, on the earth the works that are in it are burned up. Verse 12 repeats the process, and this time only mentions heavens and not the earth. The only thing that is dissolved is Satan's science and technology. The heavens that you all think is a vast universe, is only a virtual reality created in our minds by Satan's science that started with the Greeks. That virtual reality will be dissolved. Those stars will land on the earth as angels, as light as fig leaves. All of them. The whole earth will be changed. No more continents. Jerusalem will literally be the center of one Continent. The current technological infrastructure will be dissolved. Life will be totally different than has been portrayed in the movies about the Second Coming. I have seen most of the disaster movies. None of them claim Jerusalem as the center of a single continent. Yet that is what John implies in Revelation 6. Christ will set up a throne and a temple at that time. The Nations will now surround Jerusalem literally with no oceans separating them. That is the new heaven and earth for the next 1000 years.

I agree with most of that - but the heavens declare the glory of God, says scripture- they are no satanic deception.

There is no battle written for the end of Christ's future "thousand years" reign. When Satan is loosed, and leads the deceived, the unsaved, to go up against the "camp of the saints" on earth, God brings His fire down out of Heaven to burn them up. Those in Christ don't even raise a hand in their destruction...

Rev 20:7-9
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

KJV

Just because "Gog and Magog" is mentioned again, you think that means the Ezekiel 38 Scripture, but you haven't really paid attention to the rest of those Scriptures to know what you're talking about. That "camp of the saints" doesn't exist on earth until after... Jesus returns, which is still future to us! So how can that be about today's Jerusalem that is full of orthodox unbelieving Jews! In Ezekiel 38 & 39, there is no mention of Jerusalem being a stronghold for Christ's saints for the end of this world either. You're just not thinking.

I am not saying the literal heavens do not exist and do not glorify God.

I am saying what we have been taught as a 14 billion year old universe will be dissolved. What can be seen with the eye when looking up at the stars is what glorifies God.

The heavens that you all think is a vast universe, is only a virtual reality created in our minds by Satan's science that started with the Greeks. That virtual reality will be dissolved. Those stars will land on the earth as angels, as light as fig leaves. All of them. The whole earth will be changed. No more continents. Jerusalem will literally be the center of one Continent. The current technological infrastructure will be dissolved. Life will be totally different than has been portrayed in the movies about the Second Coming. I have seen most of the disaster movies. None of them claim Jerusalem as the center of a single continent. Yet that is what John implies in Revelation 6. Christ will set up a throne and a temple at that time. The Nations will now surround Jerusalem literally with no oceans separating them. That is the new heaven and earth for the next 1000 years.
Isaiah 65:17KJV
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.


Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Yes, during the tribulation God is going to be moving all the furniture around.

God Creating a New Heaven And Earth As Seen In Isaiah 65:17 Below, Is God Moving Furniture Around?

"You Can't Be Taken Seriously", And This Is A Prime Example


Isaiah 65:17KJV
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

The Islands and mountains are going to be moved around several times. A new earth each time.

Ezekiel Below Is (The Eternal Kingdom) Same River And Tree Of life, Same Fruit On The Tree, Same Leaves Of The Tree For Healing/Medicine

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Ezekiel 47:12KJV
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Revelation 22:1-2KJV
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.


Really? Really ????? so you believe that in the eternal kingdom this river comes our of a house instead of fro the throne of God?

YOu believe that there will be marshes and miry places in heaven that won't be healed?

YOu believe we will be fishing the river of life in heaven?

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

If you simply kept that verse in context, you would have realized that though very similar, there are differences which show they are different rivers. One for the millenial kingdom and one for the eternal order.
