The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

[ewq1938]

26. How many armies are in Revelation 19-20?

Revelation 19-20 speaks of three armies. One of that belongs to the beast which is defeated by Christ at Armageddon, then a thousand years later after satan is released from the pit he raises a new army which does not face an army of God or Christ but is destroyed by fire from God the Father in heaven. Amillennialism typically teaches there are only two armies which contradicts what we are given.

The beast's Revelation 19 army is defeated by God the Son who has an army but satan's Revelation 20 army is defeated by God the Father with no army.

The first battle happens before the thousand years and the second happens after the thousand years has ended.

 

[Davy]

So Jesus did not sit with two angels with Abraham? It was a "sick" deception instead of the real thing? Why do you limit the post resurrected body in creation. Are you saying Jesus cannot exist in eternity outside of time? Are you saying the Word could actually eat food?
....

As I said, ANY IDEA that Lord Jesus was in a FLESH BODY prior... to His being born through Mary's womb, is a SICK idea. Such a FALSE IDEA even makes me wonder if one who thinks that is actually a Christian, that is such a PAGAN type thought!

 

[Zao is life]

If this supposedly happens right after the end of the first tribulation of the antichrist, then this is within the time of the millennium, the 1000 year reign of Christ. Do that many people have access to the temple in the millennium? I'm afraid not, for only the priests of the Zadok shall have access to the temple during that time. There shall not be such a large number of people who can approach the throne, in front of the full Godhead who are clothed as they are being symbolic of purity and righteousness. It also says the one on the throne dwells among them. When does God the Father dwell among mankind like this? The Eternity!

Rev_21:3 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.




This should sound familiar. When is there a time that we should not hunger nor thirst anymore?




In chapter 21 we have passed the time of judgement are are now being given a glimpse of the eternity in the new age with the new Heaven and the new Earth ages beginning.




This is why we thirst no more. Christ gives unto us the water of life, and it will quench our thirst forever.



This is something available to those who overcome and are that bride of Christ.




This is the tree of life and we shall partake of it's fruits and there will be no hunger. The famine of the end times is for hearing the word of God, but at this time the word of God will be with us forever and we shall never hunger again.




Again, this is something that only takes place during the eternity.






Amen, let there be light, the light of Christ.




He shall feed us and give us to drink from the waters of life.



There is only one time that God dwells with us and wipes away our tears my friends:



There shall be no tears or sorrow at that time because they are of the things that are passed away and do not exist anymore. This only exists during the eternity.



This also happens in the eternity.



The nations come before the throne to honor God.

In conclusion, Revelation 7:9-end is a glimpse of the eternity as are the latter chapters of Revelation, and this great multitude is there before the throne not simply after the tribulation, but after all tribulations have ended. They have overcome all tribulations they have faced and have been judged to life and are free to worship God forever and partake of all the wonderful things promised to us by God.

I don't see it that way.

I believe Romans 8:19-23 equates the regeneration of the creation with the first resurrection of the sons of God in Christ (of which the Son of man and last Adam is the first-fruit), and this is the regeneration which Revelation equates with the NHNE, and this is why we see New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven in Revelation 21.

And if this seems impossible that God will will release Satan one more time into paradise when the redeemed among mankind is living forever during the sabbath, then we should read Genesis chapter 3. The first time, Adam and Eve (the unfaithful and disobedient) were expelled from paradise, and ceased living forever. Christ, who is the last Adam came, bore the sins of Adam and all the sons of Adam in His own body on the cross, died and rose again, offering eternal life to as many as would take up the invitation.

So the next and last time Satan is released into paradise during the sabbath to beguile mankind, is when the sons of God have been living forever for a thousand years , but this time there will be no more grace for the unfaithful and disobedient. The Great White throne judgment will follow immediately afterward.

1. Adam's death, which came to all mankind.

2. Christ's (the last Adam's) Resurrection from the dead. Christ IS the Resurrection and the Life.

3. The second death. * There is no second resurrection following the second death.

Compare what happened in paradise in Genesis 3 with what happens at the close of Revelation 20.

I also believe the great tribulation that the multitudes of Revelation 7:9 came out from is referring to one and the same great tribulation mentioned in the Olivet Discourse, which I believe Jesus begins talking about in Matthew 24:9 (which has nothing to do with 70 A.D because Matthew 24:9-14 begins talking about the tribulation of the disciples of Jesus, and the same great tribulation introduced in Matthew 24:9 is being spoken of throughout the rest of the passage).

I don't have any confusion anymore (like I used to) as to why Jesus spoke about the great tribulation leading up to His return, on the same day and within the same hour or two that He spoke about the coming destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.

So I see only one reference to one great tribulation in scripture, and it's the one that will take place immediately before Christ returns and defeats, and then destroys the beast and false prophet, and has His angel bind Satan for a thousand years.

So I now view Revelation 20 and 21 as the first thousand years of the NHNE. The curse will only be ended (Revelation 22:3) after Satan, death and hades have been thrown into the lake of fire.

 

[ewq1938]

So I now view Revelation 20 and 21 as the first thousand years of the NHNE.

The thousand years is not part of the New Heaven and new Earth because that doesn't begin until after the Great White Throne Judgement (GWTJ). The thousand years will be a paradise but on this current Earth but it will end, a rebellion formed and defeated and a judgement of the second death...then a new Earth and a true paradise that never ends.

 

[Truth7t7]

It appears that you

You asked me a question twice that needs a long answer so please don't complain re the length of my reply.

I believe it's very, very important to consider both the context of 2 Peter 3, and the meaning of Greek words.

1.THE GREEK WORD arérchomai (Strong's Greek Dictionary #3928, from 3844: pará; and 2064: érchomai) can mean to come near, or to pass nearby, or to have passed. or to go away:

It can mean to come near:

Luke 12:37 Updated KJV
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth [parérchomai] and serve them.

Luke 12:37 YLT
37 `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near [parérchomai], will minister to them;

Acts 24:7
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us [parérchomai], and with great violence took him away out of our hands.

Luke 17:7 Updated KJV
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he has come from the field, Go [parérchomai] and sit down to food?

Luke 17:7 YLT
7 `But, who is he of you--having a servant ploughing or feeding--who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near [parérchomai], recline at meat?

It can mean to pass by closely:

Luke 18:37
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by [parérchomai].

Matthew 8:28
28 And when He had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one might pass by [parérchomai] that way.

It can mean to have passed:

Matthew 14:15
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past [parérchomai]; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

Acts 27
9 And much time having been used up, and the voyage already being dangerous, because the Fast was now already past [parérchomai], Paul warned them.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away [parérchomai]; behold, all things are become new.

Matthew 24
33 So likewise all of you, when all of you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass [parérchomai], till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away [parérchomai], but my words shall not pass away [parérchomai].

It can mean to go away or be removed:

Matthew 26:39
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me [parérchomai]: nevertheless not as I will, but as you will.

Matthew 5:18
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass [parérchomai], one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass [parérchomai] from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Revelation 21:1
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away [parérchomai]; and there was no more sea.

2. THE GREEK WORD Gē ("EARTH")

The Greek word gē (earth) can refer to a country or region, or to the entire planet, example:

Land, country or region:

Matthew 2:6
6 And you Bethlehem, in the land [gē] of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Matthew 9:31
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country [gē].

Matthew 9:26
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land [gē].

Entire planet:

Matthew 5
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth [gē]; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

THE CONTEXT OF 2 PETER 3​

The chapter divisions in the New Testament (including the book of Revelation) were only inserted in the year 1227 A.D. Before this, there were no chapter divisions.

The context of 2 Peter chapter 2 is the wicked works of men. That's the introduction to what Peter is saying in chapter 3 about the day that Christ comes in judgment. The word stoicheîon (elements) employed in 2 Peter 3:10 & 12 refers to the works of men in Galatians 4:3 & 9; Colossians 2:8 & 20; and Hebrews 5:12, not to the elements of the earth.

(I'm not asking questions here because I want you to answer them, but to make a point):

Question: Is the Day of Christ the day of His coming in judgment? Will His perousia burn up the works of men? Is heaven/the heavens coming near [parérchomai] or going away [parérchomai] when Christ appears?

So let's have a look at the meaning of some more Greek words in this passage:

"Dissolved":
03089 λύω lýō, loo'-o
a primary verb;
to "loosen" (literally or figuratively):--break (up), destroy, dissolve, (un-)loose, melt, put off.
Compare 4486.

"Fire":
04448
πυρόω pyróō, poo-ro'-o
from 4442;
to kindle, i.e. (passively) to be ignited, glow (literally), be refined (by implication), or (figuratively) to be inflamed (with anger, grief, lust):--burn, fiery, be on fire, try.

"Burned up":
02618
κατακαίω katakaíō, kat-ak-ah'-ee-o
from 2596 and 2545;
to burn down (to the ground), i.e. consume wholly:--burn (up, utterly).

2 Peter 3
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming [parousía]? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall [parérchomai] with a great noise, and the [stoicheîon] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth [gē] also and the works that are therein shall be burned up [2618 katakaíō].

Compare the above with the following, bearing in mind that the context of 2 Peter 2-3 is the wicked works of men:

1 Corinthians 3:15
15 If any man's work shall be burned [katakaíō], he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire [pŷr].

Revelation 18:8
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned [katakaíō] with fire [pŷr]: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

Matthew 13:30
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather all of you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn [2618 katakaíō] them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

2 Peter 3
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved [lýō], what manner of persons ought all of you to be in all holy conversation and godliness.

2 Peter 3
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens [3772 ouranós] being on fire [4448 pyróō] shall be dissolved [lýō], and the [stoicheîon] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

In the Greek text of the above it says simply, (the coming of the day of God wherein) ouranós pyróō lýō.

It could just as well mean heaven will dissolve the wicked works of men by fire.

Question: Does the earth have works? Do rocks have works? The only way they can have works is if someone picks up a rock and throws it at you. Even then, it will be the works of men.

So in my opinion, it's far more likely that:

The context of 2 Peter 2-3 is the wicked works of men being burned up when heaven comes near in the day of Christ's perousia.

It appears that you desire to remove the literal dissolving of this earth by fire at the Day Of The Lord seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13, do you really believe others accept your claims made, surely not me, the symbolic allegory is laughable in my opinion

Scripture clearly teaches this earth will pass away Revelation 21:1-5 it will be a completely new creation (Behold, I make all things new)

 

[Truth7t7]

The thousand years is not part of the New Heaven and new Earth because that doesn't begin until after the Great White Throne Judgement (GWTJ). The thousand years will be a paradise but on this current Earth but it will end, a rebellion formed and defeated and a judgement of the second death...then a new Earth and a true paradise that never ends.

No such thing found in scripture as a 1,000 year kingdom on this earth, it's a fabricated fairy tale of man

Jesus Christ returns in fire and final judgment (The End)

 

[ewq1938]

No such thing found in scripture as a 1,000 year kingdom on this earth, it's a fabricated fairy tale of man

Wrong, it's found in Revelation 20. The fabrication is that kingdom/rule happening now.

 

[Zao is life]

It appears that you

It appears that you desire to remove the literal dissolving of this earth by fire at the Day Of The Lord seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13, do you really believe others accept your claims made, surely not me, the symbolic allegory is laughable in my opinion

Scripture clearly teaches this earth will pass away Revelation 21:1-5 it will be a completely new creation (Behold, I make all things new)

LOL. When scripture clearly teaches something, that's usually when you disagree with it. So not too sure who's opinions are more laughable. I think you're taking the above up far too seriously in any case, because I told Spiritual Israelite that I don't have any view on 2 Peter 3 engraved in stone.

 

[Truth7t7]

Wrong, it's found in Revelation 20. The fabrication is that kingdom/rule happening now.

No future kingdom on this earth with mortal humans present is seen in Revelation 20:1-6 as many claim, it's a fabricated fairy tale of man, a fable

 

[ewq1938]

No future kingdom on this earth with mortal humans present is seen in Revelation 20:1-6 as many claim, it's a fabricated fairy tale of man, a fable

Revelation 19 promises that nations will be ruled over post-Armageddon so you are wrong, Revelation 2 also promises it.

 

[Zao is life]

Then you reject the scripture:

"the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished" (Rev 20:5)

Tischendorf's Spurious Passages of the GNT has that sentence as spurious.

The 2001 Translation also has it as spurious, and gives the reason:

Spurious text: Revelation 20:5 — 2001 Translation of the Bible

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Opinion, and no Scripture.

His opinion was based on the scripture from John 5:28-29 that had been referenced. Pay attention.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

No, that time started at the Cross, and won't ever stop. I guess when time stops, and existence is no more, it will no longer apply.

No, He was talking about a time (singular - one event) when all of the dead will be raised. It's right there in John 5:28-29. Paul wrote about all of the dead in Christ being raised at the same time when Christ returns, so why don't you have any concept of a mass bodily resurrection of many people at the same time? There is no scripture about people being bodily resurrected unto immortality on an ongoing daily basis. That's nonsense.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Jesus did not ever say there was one time when all the dead are resurrected.

So, just deny clear scripture then if it suits you. That's the only way you can keep your doctrine afloat.

John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

You just denied what Jesus explicitly said. Why else would you do that except for extreme doctrinal bias?

He said there was a time when the righteous and unrighteous would resurrect but never did he say at the same time and day.

Yes, He did. He said a time is coming when all of the dead will be resurrected. We know from other scripture which focuses on the dead in Christ that they will all be resurrected at the same time. Jesus said that the unsaved will be resurrected at the same time (generally speaking).

 

[Timtofly]

No, He was talking about a time (singular - one event) when all of the dead will be raised. It's right there in John 5:28-29. Paul wrote about all of the dead in Christ being raised at the same time when Christ returns, so why don't you have any concept of a mass bodily resurrection of many people at the same time? There is no scripture about people being bodily resurrected unto immortality on an ongoing daily basis. That's nonsense.

These are the only 2 verse you base your entire conjecture on. You complain that some posters base their whole theology on one chapter. You base your whole theology on a few verses and not even the whole chapter these verses are found in. All other Scriptures prove there is more than one single mass resurrection. You should probably stick to your own standards, instead of just accusing other posters.

Revelation 20 contains two times when the dead stand in Judgment. This does not contradict John 5:28-29. The hour started on the Cross, and even started with Lazarus prior to the Cross. Using that interpretation, does not contradict Paul nor John. You have to explain Scripture away or twist it to fit. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul gives us 3 times humans are presented to God as redeemed by the Atonement. A resurrection at the Cross. Matthew 27. At the Second Coming. Then at the end of the 1,000 years, when all is handed back to God. That is including all Scripture with no contradictions or even "overselling" one's theology.

 

[Zao is life]

So, just deny clear scripture then if it suits you. That's the only way you can keep your doctrine afloat.

John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

You just denied what Jesus explicitly said. Why else would you do that except for extreme doctrinal bias?

Yes, He did. He said a time is coming when all of the dead will be resurrected. We know from other scripture which focuses on the dead in Christ that they will all be resurrected at the same time. Jesus said that the unsaved will be resurrected at the same time (generally speaking).

That time already was immediately after Jesus rose from the dead:

25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming and now [3568 nŷn] is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they who hear shall live.

28 Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice,
29 and shall come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

03568 νῦν nŷn, noon
a primary particle of present time;
"now" (as adverb of date, a transition or emphasis); also as noun or adjective present or immediate:--henceforth, + hereafter, of late, soon, present, this (time).

Matthew 27
50 And crying again with a loud voice, Jesus released His spirit.
51 And, behold! The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And the earth quaked, and the rocks were sheared,
52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep arose,
53 and coming out of the tomb after His resurrection they went into (entered) the holy city and appeared to many.
54 But the centurion and those guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the things that took place, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this One was Son of God.

Crossed out the parts identified by translators as spurious. But for sure, the resurrection Jesus spoke about has not been waiting for later Christians to decide when it may begin.

And, behold! The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And the earth quaked, and the rocks were sheared, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep arose, coming out of the tomb after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

It is written.

 

[Keraz]

Tischendorf's Spurious Passages of the GNT has that sentence as spurious.

The 2001 Translation also has it as spurious, and gives the reason:

Spurious text: Revelation 20:5 — 2001 Translation of the Bible

Revelation 20:5a is in most of the ancient manuscripts. It is Written in the REB and the CJB, both very careful and accurate translations.

That the rest of the dead must wait for the thousand years of the Millennium, is also logical and is proved by Revelation 20:11-15, when ALL the dead are raised for Judgment.
Its logical because there won't be immortal people on earth alongside mortals in the Millennium, Isaiah 65:20 shows that people will be born and die during the Millennium.

I see Tischendorf's removal of it as a promotion of the false idea of people going to live in heaven; the 'rapture', and the wrong teaching of people being 'glorified' when Jesus Returns.

John 5:28 is a prophecy about the GWT Judgment, after the Millennium, the raising of ALL the dead, as mentioned in Rev 20:4.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Then this cannot be Revelation 20:11

"And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;"

That verse isn't talking about the annihilation of heaven and earth. It's a figurative way of referring to the burning up of heaven and earth as 2 Peter 3 describes to the point where they are no longer heaven and earth as we know them. But, they will be renewed, not annihilated. So, you think they will be annihilated and replaced by a completely different heaven and earth?

If you reject that the NHNE is not an entirely different reality, how do you justify your rejection of dispensations?

What do you mean by "entirely different reality"? We all believe that in a sense, but I don't know what exactly you mean by it. If you're talking about an entirely new heaven and new earth apart from the current heaven and earth rather than a renewed heaven and earth, then what do you make of a verse like this:

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Do you think this is talking about inheriting the earth for a temporary period of time instead of for eternity? If so, is that really anything to be excited about? Don't you think that the inheritance God has for His people will be eternal?

You point out I do not make sense when there was a new heaven and earth after the Flood.

Where does scripture refer to heaven and earth as "a new heaven and new earth" after the flood? If you can't provide any scripture to support that idea, which I don't think you can, then that's why I'm saying you're not making sense. You have to support your claims with scripture. Your claims without scriptural support mean nothing.

Just stating a new heaven and earth is pointless without context. Especially if you don't think the world is ever annihilated. I would not put words in your mouth that the earth is dissolved. Yet that is exactly your interpretation of 2 Peter 3:8

"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."

This cannot be the end at the GWT, if you claim the earth is not annihilated. Believe it or not but there cannot be two earths. That should be evident to one who claims a single time, a single hour, or even a single day, as in 24 hours.

If you claim the earth is not annihilated, how can there be a different reality? If there is not another reality, why are you not dispensational?

You have no idea of what you're talking about. You're scatterbrained. Impossible to follow. Incoherent. I'm very close to just ignoring all of your posts at this point because it's a waste of time.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

But you brush aside the fact that zao is never used in the New Testament in reference to someone who is not alive and living in their bodies.

I don't brush it aside, I point out that doesn't mean it can't be used to refer to those who are physically dead but spiritually alive. Which is true. If you disagree then I question your understanding of the state people are in after they physically die.

nd you brush aside the fact that zao is used in Revelation 20:4-6 alongside the word anastasis which is only used in reference to the bodily resurrection in the New Testament. And you brush aside that this is said in connection with them having been beheaded. And you brush aside that this is said in connection with their refusal to have worshiped (it's said in the past tense) the beast or his image or receive his mark or the number of his name.

You brush aside the fact that "protos anastasis" is only used in reference to the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ (see Acts 26:23) Instead of applying the first resurrection only to Jesus Christ's bodily resurrection, you apply it to believers at His second coming as well. But the first resurrection is Christ's resurrection alone. Having part in His resurrection does not require a bodily resurrection. You brush all this aside. So, if all we're going to do is accuse each other of brushing things aside, then we need to just end this discussion now because this isn't worth my time.

And all 2 Peter 3 is doing is confirming that our Lord is returning in judgment and will in flaming fire take vengeance on His enemies. It's said in the context of Peter talking about the wicked works of men, esp of those who claim to be saints.

It talks about the earth itself being burned up, but you brush that aside.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Matthew 13:39 just confirms what I said in my previous post #633.

02618
κατακαίω katakaíō, kat-ak-ah'-ee-o
from 2596 and 2545;
to burn down (to the ground), i.e. consume wholly:--burn (up, utterly).

Matthew 13:30
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather all of you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn [katakaíō] them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

1 Corinthians 3:15
15 If any man's work shall be burned [katakaíō], he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire [pŷr].

Revelation 18:8
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned [katakaíō] with fire [pŷr]: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

Matthew 4
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven [ouranós] is at hand.

2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which [ouranós] shall [parérchomai] with a great noise, and the [stoicheîon] shall melt with fervent heat, [gē] also and the works that are therein shall [ katakaíō].

[parérchomai] can mean to come near, to pass closeby, to have passed, to be removed.

(i) It can mean to come near, for example in Luke 12:37; Acts 24:7 & Luke 17:17

(ii) It can mean to pass by closeby, for example in Luke 18:37 & Matthew 8:28.

(iii) It can mean to have passed, for example in Matthew 14:15; Acts 27:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Matthew 24:34-35.

(iv) It can mean to go away or be removed, for example Matthew 26:39; Matthew 5:18 & Revelation 21:1.

Is the Day of Christ the day of His coming in judgment? Will His parousía burn up the works of men? Is heaven/the heavens coming near [parérchomai] or going away [parérchomai] when Christ appears?

3 (a) The Greek word gē (earth) can refer to a land, or a country or a region, for example in Matthew 2:6; Matthew 9:26 &31.

(b) It can refer to the entire planet, for example in Matthew 5.

So 2 Peter 3 is only talking about what Revelation (close of Chs. 11, 13, 16, 19) and Matthew 24:29-31 are talking about. And none of those passages are saying anything more than that Christ is coming in judgment, in flaming fire taking vengeance on His enemies, as Paul puts it in 2 Thessalonians 1:8.

This is just complete nonsense. You are denying the obvious here because of doctrinal bias. The heavens and earth are going to be burned up when Christ returns. The wicked and all wicked things must be removed from the earth in order to have the new heavens and new earth "where righteousness dwells" (2 Peter 3:13) and where "There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain" (Rev 21:4). You have offered no viable alternatives for how God will rid the world of wickedness once and for all, which is telling.
