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 What ever chain is binding Satan, it has to be broken, rescinded, allowed to expire, or whatever before he is loosed.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...

No, I don’t believe it’s a literal city. That’s why I don’t think it’s possible for the unbelievers to surround it by going up on the breadth of the earth.

Well maybe the literal city of Jerusalem was beloved in heaven but not beloved on earth, just like new Jerusalem can be in both heaven and earth at the same time.

Ok, so how do you explain new Jerusalem being in heaven while the unsaved surround it? Are you going to go down the same road SI took and claim it is in both heaven and earth at the same time?

Are you kidding me? So is the lake of fire also both on earth and in outer darkness?
