Again, this is NOT what Revelation 20:5 says. John wrote that the event when "The remnant of the dead" who came to life again at the end of the millennium "IS the "First Resurrection". This "loipoi" remnant of dead individuals was raised to life again when the millennium was finished. There...

Believing that a second death is possible for anyone directly contradicts the clear statement in Hebrews 9:27 that "it is appointed unto man ONCE to die, and after that the judgment." ONCE and not twice. Scripture does not contradict itself, so if our viewpoint on a certain scripture passage...

That is not what Revelation 20:5 says. The remnant of the dead which came to life again at the end of the millennium WAS the "First resurrection". The "First resurrection" was of Christ the "First-fruits" in AD 33. That means the millennium was "finished" when that First resurrection of...

No, the "second death" is never mentioned in Genesis. Only the one-time-only death requirement that Hebrews 9:27 spoke of. No one dies twice. "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, and after this the judgment". The "second death" / aka, the "Lake of Fire" was the second time Death and Hell...

Looks as if this was to be taking place on earth during people's natural lifetime, since Day and Night are still recurring for them in this scenario. This is not an after-life perpetual torment of the wicked, but an accompanying irritating result of their ongoing worship of the Sea Beast...

That's quite alright. What you personally are not interested in, the next person down the line might be. But the millennium having "expired" back in AD 33 with Christ and that "First resurrection" event is not "convoluted" at all. John is quite clear. The millennium had ended even before...

A good question. How could saints "reign with Christ" even before Christ was born, or before He was resurrected and entered into His kingdom at His ascension? I agree with you that the spirits of the dead were not allowed access to God's presence in heaven before the cross and Christ's...

Sure it can. When Rev. 20:4 speaks of martyrdom, this is not an experience that would only happen once. Throughout the process of human history, the righteous have always been persecuted by the wicked. Prophets and servants of God who foretold "the coming of the Just One" (the "witness of...

Hi there, I see you are from my home state SC. My Christian education here in local schools from childhood upward was firmly Premil Disp., but more than twelve years ago, my eschatology studies had finally led me in a different direction. As for the 144,000, these individuals coming from...

The categories of Pre, Post, and Amillennialism need to step aside for another category - PAST-millennialism. A literal thousand years. With a date which "expired" and was "finished" at the First Resurrection of Christ in AD 33, and which began long ago with the foundation stone of Solomon's...
