Any mention of a bride in the NT is a metaphor for the unity between the believers and Christ and each other. The only time a bride is mentioned as being the bride of Christ is the New Jerusalem. Church is the body, not a metaphor, a physical reality and it's where our identity as believers...

I lean towards Elijah and Enoch because neither of them seemed to have faced death.

Spiritual temple made a reality when we receive our incorruptible bodies for Christians and an earthly temple for the human remnants and the place where Christ will rule the earth from.

No, I think it will be an actual temple. The temple will be desolated by the a/c, it will be destroyed and a new one erected for the millennium, imo.

There is nothing in scripture that implies when satan is loosed at the end of the millennium, he will have any kind of emissary. It's only him, the false prophet and the a/c remain in the lake of fire.

It's a matter of timing. Presently, Satan is only restrained from coming to the earth, not from being able to affect it by all his massive amount of demons. At the end of the 70th week, he is not only bound he is also thrown into a bottomless pit for a thousand years. Two different levels of...

Considering that is the whole basis for Christianity, it is most certainly not a lie. Jesus died for my sins along with everyone else's. If we can't apply it on a personal level than His sacrifice becomes meaningless! For clarity's sake, we are responsible for why he was crucified, not the...

I would say it will be the one that is here during the 70th week. The same one as Dan. 9:27.

There is nothing within the context that speaks of His return here. Both at the same time,, yes but that time is the post-millennial GWTJ.

I think it's just the opposite.

How do you come to this understanding?

I agree, challenges like hers makes my time of bible study more fun and meaningful.

That's just silly. If you're trying to live by the law, then you have to live for it all and good luck with that because God knew no man could do it and that's why he needed to sacrifice his Son in the first place. God doesn't have anything against money. If they had had the technology to...

Yes, they're similar. What does that mean to you?

The three were enough to get his point across and seeing as they were in charge of the household, trading w/ merchants as customers would have been part of that gig as well.

KJV - "letteth" - G2722 - to hold fast, possess, retain, seize, withhold

You're way off base here because the earth during the millennium will be full of unglorified human beings just as it is now except there will be less sin and rebellion until the devil is released from the pit. That's why Jesus needs to rule with a rod of iron and promises no rain to those...

The gap is there in plain site and no one has to play with the text at all because the text when understood correctly, explains it all but you just don't want to see it. Historically, it can be proven that the 69 weeks ended as prophesied. There is nothing that can prove the 70th week began or...

Actually scripture answers your questions quite accurately. While Satan is not bound at this time he is being restrained (2 Thes. 2:7) by Michael, Dan. 12:1 and Rev. 12:7-9 in the same manner as Gabriel was in Dan. 10:13. Picture two beings in a wrestling type pose, the devil is striving to get...

I’m continuing a conversation with Naomi25 concerning whether the millennium is a real thing or not. Naomi25 said in the thread, Replacement theology, #54- “However...in regards to your other idea...of during the millennium the Church will be in heaven while everyone else will be, I assume, in...
