All of these compared texts involved the process of Jerusalem being taken down in the period from AD 66-70 of the Roman / Jewish war. The warning which Christ gave in Luke 21:20 for His disciples to flee from Judaea and from Jerusalem to the mountains was fulfilled in AD 66. This is when...

#1) The scripture's language does not require that these individuals themselves reign a total of a thousand-years of their own lifetime. These individuals took part in "reigning in life by one Christ Jesus" during the ordinary span of their lifetime, at some point while the thousand years...

Are you asking "Why only 3 resurrections?"? There are exactly three separate group resurrection events because these three "harvests" of the saints' bodies out of the ground would be a fulfillment of the symbolism in the Mosaic harvest festivals. Attendance was required at the three feasts of...

Then I am that exception. And I am not the only one that sees scripture teaching the Revelation 13 Sea Beast to be past history, coming into existence long before AD33. The Sea Beast in Rev. 13:2 had all the features of Daniel's three former kingdoms represented by the lion, the bear, and the...

Oh, I don't need to "fire back", because I agree with all of this that you posted above. It doesn't contradict the position I hold at all. I heard someone one time describe the events of Revelation 19:11-21 as the battle with Christ from the Beasts' perspectives, while the events of Revelation...

This concept of repetition in scripture is a good part of where I see God having planned for 3 separate bodily resurrection events, based on the Israelite schedule under Mosaic law of 3 required harvest celebrations of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. This pattern established...

You only think it is wrong because you presume that the millennium begins with Christ's second coming. It doesn't. John tells you when it ended. The millennium ended when Christ ascended and the Devil descended. Very simple.

Revelation 19:12 speaks of Christ's rule over the many nations by the "many crowns" He is wearing at that point. These many crowns were going to be confiscated from the prince of the kingdoms of this world after God had slain Satan, the dragon and the ancient serpent (Is. 27:1). But this "many...

Revelation 19 doesn't mention the millennium at all. Neither does it mention Satan's deception of the nations being bound. The Antichrist / Man of Lawlessness and his restrainer that Paul had already identified for the Thessalonian believers is not the subject of this post. And this...

King David was not included in the millennium period, which was launched with his son Solomon's temple foundation stone being laid down. In the Psalms, King David had prophesied some of the millennium conditions beginning under Solomon's reign, but David died before it began. As for these...

This verse Revelation 1:19 that you gave is an excellent example that gives us permission to interpret some of Revelation as PAST events ("the things that you HAVE seen"). Some of John's material can also be interpreted as ongoing events PRESENT in John's days ("the things that ARE"). And some...

There are scripture texts which describe history continuing for many years after Christ's second coming. Do you need me to list these?

But John told you when the millennium would expire. He said Satan's "little season" of being loosed on earth would start when the millennium was finished (Rev. 20:3 & 7). And he also warned the saints that this "short time" of an angry Satan's release on earth had already started by then (Rev...

You are misquoting John. John wrote of those in Rev. 20:4 that "they lived and reigned with Christ the thousand years". It does NOT say that they "came to life and then reigned with Christ the thousand years." This would change John's statement entirely. And yes, I am aware of the variety...

But at the end of what? There are different sets of ages that come to an end at different times. Paul said that those in the first-century generation were at the end of a set of ages ("...on us upon whom the ends of the ages have come..."). That "us" was speaking of Paul's generation. But...

The Revelation 20 millennium had a beginning point as well as a specific "expiration" date. This thousand years can have a symbolic sense in addition to being a literal number, just like the symbolic / literal number of the 144,000 First-fruits coming from those stipulated Jewish tribes. If...

The problem with linking Jeremiah's prophecy of a new covenant period with the Revelation 20 millennium is that nowhere in Revelation 20 does a statement about the New Covenant appear. The ONLY description of the character of the millennium period is that Satan's deception of the nations would...

The Greek for "Forever and ever" is "to ages of ages" (aionas aionon). And Paul once wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:11 of that first-century generation he was writing to that "the ends of the ages" (tele ton aionon) had arrived at that time. Ages have beginning and ending points, so scripture in...

Surely you know the difference between #1), a person looking for something doctrinally new just for novelty's sake and #2), an attempt to be a "more noble Berean" by checking daily whether the scriptures one has been taught are truth or not. I've done more than twelve years of daily research...

Those blessed saints who took part in the "First Resurrection" on the same day that Christ arose (the resurrected Matthew 27:52-53 saints at Jerusalem in AD 33) remained on the earth and were not affected at all by passing through the second death / Lake of Fire conditions found in Jerusalem by...
