I know, SDAs, for example, believe the saints are in heaven the entire thousand years, except they have the earth empty of any human inhabitants during the thousand years. They use Jeremiah 4:23-25 to supposedly support that interpretation. But as to me, I don't see the problem with mortals...

Where do you see any mention of the beast and false prophet in Revelation 20:7-9? When we get to verse 10 we note that satan is cast into the same LOF the beast and false prophet were already cast into. Where does verses 7-9 involve the beast and the false prophet getting cast into the LOF if...

A lot of this I tend to agree with you about. I don't know if you are right about all of it, though. But you do do raise some good points, regardless.

I view things in this manner. Per Revelation 21 and 22 the context is mainly pertaining to the NJ. And that I don't take the NJ to be meaning the entire planet. IOW, though there might be no more tears there, this in meaning in the NJ, the same way when we are told there is no need of the sun...

I def agree with this. In my view, maybe you agree maybe you don't, the thousand years are simply the first thousand years of the everlasting kingdom.

As to the OP, the only thing I might disagree with is the timing of the NJ. IOW, I tend to think the NJ will already be here upon the earth during the thousand years though the text gives the impression that it doesn't come down until after the great white throne judgment. IOW, there will be...

In Daniel 12:1 he stands up at the time in order to deliver the saints from this time of trouble. But in Revelation 12 though, it could simply mean that he is warring with satan after having been seated at the right hand of God, assuming Christ might be meant by Michael. Think about it for a...

Of course satan has power over fallen mankind from the Garden of Eden. But none of that has anything to do with why satan needs to be bound, the fact he doesn't stay bound permanently if he is loosed at some point instead. If Amil is the correct position, and maybe it is for all I know, and if...

No doubt it is meaning those you listed. But there is still this land that has to be dealt with here before one can declare they are interpreting Ezekiel 37 correctly. This land is obviously relevant the fact God through this prophet mentioned it at least 2 times in that chapter. To say this...

Why would you ask me that to begin with when everyone already knows, including me, that it's meaning the dragon, the devil, satan. Not to mention, it already makes that plainly clear in the book of Revelation, such as Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2. Why are you asking me this question...

If Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:7 are involving the same time period, though I disagree they are, it would simply mean this then if the timing of these events are the point. It would mean Revelation 12:7 is still a future event because Daniel 12:1 is obviously still a future event. Why we know...

Roger, yet, the text plainly says in Ezekiel 37 that He is going to place them in the land where their fathers dwelt. It is then a matter of determining what land that was. Was it literal land with literal borders, or was it a spiritual land of some sort, whatever that might mean and look like...

If we use Scripture to interpret Scripture, John 5 and the passage in question is meaning the following according to Revelation 20. John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done...

Then you have to find a way to make the following fit that. Ezekiel 37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the...

Since ginomai can mean a number of things, per this contest it likely means fulfilled, thus has been completed. Which would be like saying, since it has already been completed, it can't happen in the future. That would be my guess as to what the verse is meaning. One thing I do know, there are...

Like I already pointed in out in an earlier post, I fully agree saints don't put on bodily immortality until the last trumptet sounds. It simply means this then, when John sees the souls of them, he is seeing them before the time of the last trumpet sounding. When he sees them living again and...

I realize that, but I'm trying to look at this from God's perspective and that by wishing His blood upon them and their children that this could be both a blessing and a curse, and not just the latter only. Except they never realized it could also be a blessing since they weren't meaning it in...

As to that, isn't it possible that the literal sense is not meant but is meaning something similar to the following, for example? Genesis 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. Of course though, one then needs to explain these...

1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must...

You just don't understand where I'm coming from here. All I'm saying is, by them wishing His blood upon them and their children was a blessing in disguise, since that would mean they and their children could still be saved since that is what His blood upon someone does, it saves them. Except...
