I'm inclined to believe that Jesus was referring to His return and the "bema seat" judgment, as those that offend are removed and separated from the inheritance of the saints at the inauguration of the millennial kingdom. The reward of the saints is in governance over peoples in the millennium...

I'm pretty sure from the teaching that we don't "see" properly until receiving Christ. One of His gifts is a sound mind. The implication is that the unregenerate don't have a sound mind. The Geresene demonic illustrates the concept. Of course, the unregenerate, whose faith is derived solely...

You're arguing logical fallacies. The city, like the tabernacle of God comes down to men. But you're wrong about Heaven anyway. Scripture says we'll judge angels, and that God sees even angels as impure in His sight. Your theology is unbiblical. What a shock.

Yes, thank you. The theme is very old and I'd say that it begins in Genesis chapter 1.

That is correct, but it describes the judgment and the kingdom ruled by God, which is exactly the same as what the book of the Revelation is addressing. The "heavenly Jerusalem " doesn't remain in heaven, but comes down from heaven. You're not suggesting that it comes down to heaven from heaven...

Saints before the "rapture", Jewish saints after the "rapture," and Gentile saints from "all the nations" and out of the "great tribulation. "

19And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by...

Let me rephrase then, are there 3 churches of saints?

Actually it's a judgment and Purification of the Earth, just like the flood, but with a greater remnant.

Read the book again. After the 144,000 we immediately find: 9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm...

Well, by what power do the last 2 witnesses give prophecy and work signs?

That would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Kind of, sort of. But the days of the judges were lawless times. "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 21:25

Lift my hands to heaven and praise the name of Jesus.

During His ministry or after the resurrection?

Thank you for confirming my argument with BOL. Zechariah chapter 14 speaks to the judgment of all the nations and the restoration of Israel under the rule of the Lord. It's a parallel passage to Revelation chapters 21 and 22. Neither Zechariah's Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem of Revelation...

So do you question the Apostle Paul? In 1 Corinthians chapter 9 he goes to some length to explain why he disobeyed the Lord's commandment regarding the preaching of the gospel. Was he justified in His disobedience?

Another straw man argument? Really? I'll just answer your last question from a parallel passage that you seem to have forgotten to read. Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the...

This is great example of RCC distortion. Revelation 21:27 is a statement about the New Jerusalem. It's your assumption that the passage is about Heaven, but scripture teaches that Heaven is rolled up like a scroll to make way for a new Heaven and a new Earth. The "city" comes down to Earth...

You do know that the concept of spiritual life and " the old man" didn't exist in the Old Testament and there were no born again saints prior to the first Pentecost, right? Jesus didn't preach to saints, but to Jews under the law, before the new covenant was instituted. If you're unable to...
