Do you have an adversity to fulfillment or something? The children of disobedience had the evil spirit working in them during the first century as clearly stated in Ephesians 2:2.

I’m in agreement with you on the analysis of the wind, it can be either good or bad. In Ezekiel 37:9 the wind is not evil, it brings life to the dry bones. That wind was prophesied to come or commanded to come, this has the same characteristics as the Revelation 7:1-4 wind, the earth is hurt...

Your assumption is that the four angels in Revelation 7:1 are the same four angels in Revelation 9:14 and that these two events happen at the same time. That assumption cannot be correct, since that would mean the Revelation 7:1 angels were protecting the earth and sea. I don’t know how you can...

I agree that the four angels are given to hurt the earth and sea. If the wind is what hurts the earth and sea, then why do you suppose they are holding it back and protecting the earth and sea in vs 1? The angels are not given to protect.

Well obviously you are not looking at the Greek.

You left out Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. The four angels are holding the four winds, not allowing the wind to...

Yes, it could’ve been one day or a thousand years. It was an undisclosed time period that only the Father knew.

I don’t think so, look at the Greek on this verse, to crush is future not past. will soon crush συντρίψει (syntripsei) Verb - Future Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular Strong's 4937: From sun and the base of tribos; to crush completely, i.e. To shatter.

Satan was bound from executing his right to destroy Jerusalem just after the cross as described in Daniel 9:26-27. This allowed the gospel to get preached in all the world prior to the destruction of Jerusalem. Babylon fell and became the cage of every foul spirit, this is where Satan was for...

There are several things that are just incorrect in your post. We have debated the 144,000 in the past so I’ll just say we definitely differ on that. Let’s look at the power of the holy people in Daniel 12:7. The power <3027> (or hand) of the holy people gets scattered <5310> (or shattered...

So what is your interpretation of the chain? Do you see it as some kind of literal chain?

If the chain is the power of the gospel then that power has to be removed in order for Satan to be loosed, right? What ever chain is binding Satan, it has to be broken, rescinded, allowed to expire, or whatever before he is loosed. I don’t see how the gospel can bind Satan and then Satan be...

I would agree that if a person doesn’t get the binding of Satan correct then a skewed interpretation of Revelation 20:9 follows. What ever that binding is and what ever the conditions are that happen under that binding, they get reversed when Satan is loosed. If we tie the work Christ did on...

Yes, we are all in the one new heavenly Jerusalem, not a new earthly Jerusalem that can be surrounded. Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

It means John wrote to a Jewish audience not a Gentile audience. So the word “saint” shouldn’t necessarily be taken to mean Gentile believers. For example in Revelation 13:7 the saints are overcome. No where in the New Testament are the saints overcome, it is the saints that overcome evil. The...

Well I’m in new Jerusalem right now and I know there’s not two of them.

Yes chance of that. Are you forgetting that in Galatians 2:9 it was agreed that John was to go to the circumcision (Old Testament saints).

I thought we went over this once before but in Deuteronomy 33:2-3 Moses blessed the children of Israel and collectively called all of them saints. The word saints can be referring to the tribes of Israel as a group.

But the big difference between Seth to the time of Noah and the millennium is that Satan wasn’t bound during that time. I would think there should be a very distinct difference between when Satan is bound and when he isn’t. Are you thinking it’s going to be some kind of gradual transition to...

In order for your view of the unsaved surrounding the camp of the saints to work, you would have to show a time when the unsaved were not surrounding the camp and make the distinction of what the difference is between when they do surround and when they don’t surround it. And also it would be...
