    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    Yes you do have to be born again of the Holy Spirit to partake in the first resurrection. But Rev. 20 is talking about the physical resurrection of the dead in Christ. When Paul says the dead in Christ rise first, he is talking about the physical body being dead because the Spirit is Life if...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    I’m not arguing against being born again of the Spirit and passing from spiritual death to spiritual life. I am talking about Rev. 20 where ALL those who are in Christ are either raised from the dead, or are changed physically if living at the last day and are gathered together with all the...

    The time, times, and a half does not include the season and time, which is the thousand years.

    Well it does not specify if every square inch is burned, but it does specify that a few men shall be left. We also see below that some of the people of the nations remain during the millennial reign of Christ on earth. Zechariah 14:12-21 King James Version 12 And this shall be the plague...

    The time, times, and a half does not include the season and time, which is the thousand years.

    That’s the point, Paul knew those who are of the first resurrection were the “blessed and holy” dead in Christ mentioned in Rev 20. Paul did NOT say all the wicked rise first, or that ALL the dead rise first. Paul specifically said the dead in Christ rise first, because Paul understood the...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    That’s the problem right there, you Amils think Rev. 20’s “the first resurrection” is about Jesus being resurrected; which is why you also believe the thousand year reign of Christ on earth started way back then. That is also why you cannot accept the thousand year reign of Christ on earth...

    She wasn’t burned by fire to ashes, she was turned into a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. The moral of the story is don’t look back to your old way of life when the Lord calls you out of the world. Luke 17:32-33 King...

    2 Peter 3:10-12 is not every word of God on the matter. You need to look at every place where this destruction by fire is mentioned. For instance… Isaiah 34 King James Version 34 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world...

    You should ask yourself why doesn’t Paul just say ALL the dead rise first? Why does Paul specifically refer to only the dead in Christ rising first? It is because that is the order of the resurrections shown in Rev. 20. Revelation 20:4-5 King James Version 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    But that is not the same as reigning with Christ on earth AFTER the first physical resurrection that is shown in Rev. 20. Those souls in Christ who physically died are as Paul said asleep, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 King James Version 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but...

    One group says the earth is not destroyed by fire, and the other group says it is. One group says all men are killed in the fire, the other says no men are killed in a fire. Why do you guys have to be polar opposites on this? The truth is the earth is determined to be cleansed by fire with a...

    Again there are 2 resurrections mentioned there…. Daniel 12:2 King James Version 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, (first resurrection) and some to shame and everlasting contempt.(second resurrection)

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    But Rev. 20 is not about Jesus being resurrected, it’s about the physically dead in Christ rising first at the last day. But being born again of the Holy Spirit is not the same as being physically resurrected at the last day at the last Trump. Why can’t you understand that being born again...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    It doesn’t say ALL the dead are raised at the same time. Notice 2 resurrections are mentioned there… John 5:29 King James Version 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; (first resurrection) and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of...

    Just because you don’t see ALL end time prophecy in one chapter of the Bible that does not mean it cancels out other parts of the Bible that prove it does happen.

    But we know it is not BY the words of God… Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and...

    Not all of Daniel 11 is about the time of the end …. Daniel 11 King James Version 11 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    Being born again spiritually is not the first physical resurrection. Those who are born again of the Holy Spirit have been sealed unto the day of redemption. This sealing process has been ongoing for nearly 2 thousand years now. But the day of redemption of the physical body of the saints...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    Sure it does. Paul said the dead in Christ rise first. So is Paul calling those who are in Christ spiritually dead? Not at all. Paul is talking about the dead physical bodies of the saints when he refers to the dead in Christ being raised up first. When a person is born again of the Holy...

    It’s not nonsense, it’s based on scripture …. Revelation 6:14-15 King James Version 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the...
