Yes. It was explained, but I will state it even more plainly so there is no room for confusion. The question itself is built on a false assumption. Scripture never says Satan must be bound in the Revelation 20 sense before Gentiles can be saved. Gentiles have always been saved the same way...

You keep trying to paint me with a theological brush rather than address what the text says. Okay, fine. Let me be direct. I am not advocating Premillennialism or Amillennialism or any other man-made construct. I am not arguing for a system. I am reading what the Bible says and refusing to...

You are building a straw man and then congratulating yourself for knocking it down. I never said a spirit needs metal hardware. I explicitly said Scripture uses “bind,” “chains,” “shut,” and “seal” to describe real restraint by God’s authority over spiritual beings ~Jude 1:6; ~Revelation...

Agreed. It's already demonstrated from Scripture. Satan rebelled against God KNOWING who God was and that God had created him. That alone demonstrates that proximity to, knowledge of or obvious authority does not make someone obedient. The same is true of man. Israel had seen God's display of...

PinSeeker, calling this a difference among Christians does not answer the text. Revelation 20 is not subjective, and it is not proven by personal experience. Revelation states the purpose of the binding plainly. Satan is bound “that he should deceive the nations no more” ~Revelation 20:3. That...

And just so you know: Acts 28 nowhere says Paul only received the mystery while in prison. Scripture clearly says otherwise. Paul clearly says he received the mystery prior to prison, not had it hidden away from him until arriving to Rome. He himself writes, “By revelation he made known unto...

Doug, it's not that hard. The Bible has already spoken, and this has been answered. There is not more than one gospel. There is only ONE gospel. Not a gospel for different times or different audiences. Paul explains it simply. “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received...

Moving the line does not fix the error. Call it Acts 28 or mid-Acts, it is the same move. You are still pushing a delayed Body of Christ, still slicing believers into stages Scripture never names, and still implying truth was withheld and later unlocked. Shifting the start date a few chapters...

The gospel has already been stated, plainly, from Scripture. Christ died for sins, was buried, and rose again. Salvation is by grace through faith in Him. One cross. One gospel ~1 Corinthians 15:3–4; ~Ephesians 2:8–9. That answer has not been avoided. So why does the question keep coming back...

This has already been explained to you. I already showed that Scripture uses binding and chains to describe real restraint by God’s authority over spiritual beings, not metal hardware ~Jude 1:6. I already showed that the issue in Revelation 20 is what the binding accomplishes, not what the chain...

This is the same move again, just dressed in different clothes. Ezekiel 37 is about two nations becoming one nation under one king. That is national restoration. Land. Kingdom. Israel. No argument there. But John 11 is not talking about nations becoming one nation. It is talking about people...

For everyone reading, let me cut through the fog and call this what it is. What @Doug is pushing is not new light. It is an old system commonly known as hyper-dispensationalism or Acts 28 theology. It has been around for over a hundred years. It teaches that the real Body of Christ did not begin...

Jesus explained it Himself. Simple. Clear. Repeatedly. No mystery. No mechanism. His words. Jesus said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ~Mark 1:15. The gospel starts with repenting and believing unto Him. Jesus said, “For God so...

Scripture does not teach a mysterious church age which began after Acts and was only revealed through Paul’s letters during his imprisonment. Jesus commissioned His church before Paul was even a Christian ~Matthew 16:18. Luke refers to “the church” over and over BEFORE Paul’s prison epistles...

Galatians 2 does not help your case. It destroys it. Galatians 2 is not two churches. It is one gospel being defended against corruption. Paul says the issue was that false brethren were trying to bring believers into bondage ~Galatians 2:4. He does not say there were two bodies. He says there...

Your questions were already answered in this post, from the very verses you keep circling. John 10:16 does not say “scattered Jews outside Jerusalem.” It says “other sheep… not of this fold,” and the result is “one fold, and one shepherd” ~John 10:16. You are adding a limitation the text never...

This has already been explained, plainly and from Scripture. I already showed that Luke calls it “the church” before Paul’s ministry unfolds ~Acts 9:31, that Jesus promised one church before Paul was converted ~Matthew 16:18, and that Luke presents Acts 11 as expansion, not replacement ~Acts...

I’m not interested in chasing labels. If your view of “binding” is different than what I described, then state it from the text. The issue is not what amils call it. The issue is what John wrote. John does not describe a partial restraint. He describes an angel laying hold of Satan, binding...

You are arguing against a position I am not taking. Revelation 20:3 is future, not present. I am not treating it as something happening now. I am using it to show why it cannot be happening now. John describes a condition that will exist when Satan is bound, that he “should deceive the nations...

Revelation 20 is future, not now. Scripture does not place Satan’s binding at the cross or at Pentecost. John is explicit. Satan is bound, sealed in the abyss, and prevented from deceiving the nations, then later released to deceive them again ~Revelation 20:1–8. That sequence has never...
