Ok, let’s go back to the spirit of Samuel. Samuel was a saved person, right? And since it was possible for the spirit of a dead believer to appear to other humans, like at the mount of transfiguration, then really the only argument you have for the 1 Samuel 28 spirit not actually being Samuel is...

In Matthew 17:3 it says And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Should we also conclude that it couldn’t actually have been Moses and Elias but it was some other kind of spirits masquerading as Moses and Elias?

In 1 Samuel 28:19 the spirit of Samuel tells Saul tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me. If your view is correct then we must conclude that Saul was saved, Saul could not be one of the “rest of the dead” because he would be with Samuel after he died. In 1 Samuel 10:9-10 God gave him...

Let me clarify what I meant, interpreting “one day with the Lord is as a thousand years” as one day is always as a thousand years would be a literal interpretation. Interpreting “one day with the Lord is as a thousand years” as one day may or may not be a thousand years, it just depends on the...

In Genesis 1:1-5 when God divided light from darkness, the evening and the morning were the first day. It’s not until day three that earth is created so the first day was from God’s perspective, although that really can be very much debated as to how many hours or years the initial days of...

I’m not saying it’s impossible to have one day in heaven equal one thousand years on earth. I’m saying if we go that route then an explanation of when NHNE gets created needs to be taken into consideration. Personally I don’t see any the scriptures giving any evidence of a large period of time...

I think @Keraz puts a literal one day in heaven being equal to a literal thousand years on earth. A major problem with this is he then has to figure out where to place the creation of NHNE. If our current creation took seven thousand years then NHNE, using the same reasoning, would take seven...

When Paul wrote it wasn’t “must shortly come to pass” but in the years after Paul wrote, when John wrote, it was “must shortly come to pass”.

I do see the contradiction of claiming Revelation 2:26 happens during the millennium while at the same time claiming Revelation 2:7 happens after the millennium in NHNE. An interesting thing about Revelation 22:2 is that the leaves of the tree are for healing. If the tree of life is in NHNE...

I’m not sure where you’re going with that but if John was the only one to have been given certain information then it’s no use comparing scripture with scripture to interpret Revelation. Do you somehow think we don’t need to look at the rest of the Bible to interpret Revelation?

Well, let’s say it’s another 4,000 years after the millennium before NHNE are finished. Where are the immortal believers during that time period? Are they just floating around or something, with nothing to do? It just seems strange to me that there could be a time period after the millennium...

Here’s the thing I don’t get about the idea of one day in heaven being equal to one thousand years on earth … If we assume the first seven days of creation are really seven thousand earth years, then when it comes to new heaven and new earth being created there is no seven thousand year time...

If you’re saying those under the altar at the fifth seal are the 144,000 and they are actually sealed when they are given the white robes, then yea, I can agree with that. I think the fifth seal takes place after the cross, prior to Pentecost.

Ok, thanks for your opinion on symmetry. The other thing I would like to get your thoughts on is the Revelation 12 repeating pattern. Vs 4 Stars of heaven cast to earth Vs 4 devour her child Vs 6 woman fled into wilderness Vs 7 war in heaven between dragon and Michael Vs 9 Dragon cast out...

I can think of a couple of things that I would like to get your opinion on, to start with there’s the idea of symmetry between Jesus and Satan. Years ago someone, who was Amil, claimed there is a symmetry between Jesus and Satan, in regard to where they are and in the type of access they have...

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I personally don’t think a literal fulfillment of one denarius for a quart of wheat or three denarius for a quarter of barley matters because I don’t interpret that verse in a literal manner. Historically though it appears the literal fulfillment took place at...

Thanks for sharing your view on the four horsemen. I see you have the third seal representing famine. I’ve looked at that idea and can’t figure out why that would represent famine. The price of wheat and barley is given but those prices most likely actually happened at some point before 301AD...

I’m in agreement for the most part with your view on the first 5 chapters, the chapter 6 seals is where we go in different directions. A summary of my view on the seals is that the first seal is Christ in His first coming going forth to conquer death. Second seal is Christ taking peace from...

I think our differences in how we interpret Revelation might stem from how Revelation 1:19 is viewed. In Revelation 1:19 John is told to Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter. I think in the series of visions that John recorded...

1.) Satan was bound at the cross. 2.) at the cross. 3.) after the gospel was preached to every creature under heaven. 4.) from the the cross to the preaching, 2 to 3. 5.) I’m not certain but we know it was short.
