When scripture speaks of the saints reigning with Christ during those thousand years, this does not necessarily have to be after Christ was consecrated in heaven as our crowned Great High Priest in AD 33. That was only a new phase of His perpetual reign which was launched at that point. At...

Absolutely. God is utter holiness, and He will not rest until the planet which He originally created is purified of all corrupting fallen human influences that have brought death into His perfect creation.

No, it won't be like that forever. God has a plan with a final culmination point so that this planet which He "formed to be inhabited" no longer has any elements of evil present whatever. Total purification is the final goal. One stage of that purification process was the entire Satanic...

Yes, Satan was destroyed. It was back in AD 70 when he was turned into ashes on the earth. God predicted this annihilation for Satan in Ezekiel 28:18-19 for that formerly-anointed cherub who had been in Eden, so that "never shalt thou be anymore". There is no more "accuser of the brethren"...

Christ already told you in Mark 7:21-23. "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: ALL these evil things come from within, and defile...

No, it doesn't double up the word "spirit" two times. John was explaining that a person must be born of water EVEN (kai) of the Spirit, in order to see the kingdom of God. John was defining for us and his first-century audience exactly what he meant by using the word "water" in his own...

Satan and all his devils and the unclean spirits were imprisoned within the walls of the besieged city of Jerusalem in AD 66. Read Isaiah 24:21-23 and Revelation 18:2, which respectively speak of the punishment and imprisonment of the wicked "host of high ones" until they were eliminated, and...

Yes, the "water" in John 3:5 and the "living water" in John 7:38-39 are both used as a symbolic metaphor for the Holy Spirit which dwells forever within a believer. It's just as Romans 8:11 tells us: "...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." It does NOT say, "Now if...

Yes, that is exactly what happened. Satan still had access to heaven to accuse the brethren, even while his deception of the nations was being bound simultaneously during that literal millennium which ended in AD 33. Those are two different activities for Satan - accusing the brethren, and...

That's not quite what I wrote. I wrote that the "little season" or "short time" of Satan's release after the millennium ended had already begun some time before John was writing Revelation in AD 60. That "little season" did not begin in AD 60. The "little season" began back in AD 33 with...

The "LITTLE season" for Satan's release was a time period of less than 40 years. How do I know that? Because Joshua 24:7 once reminded the Israelites that "ye dwelt in the wilderness a LONG season", which we know was 40 years of wilderness wanderings (Deut. 8:2 - "And thou shalt remember all...

The answer is none of the above. And the meaning of this verse is very simple. It involves the correct interpretation of the little Greek word "kai" which has mistakenly been translated as "AND" in this verse. "Kai" can have various meanings. It can be used as a conjunction meaning "in...

Polygamy was a problem for men in those days. Male candidates for the ministry could not have multiple wives if they desired to serve as an overseer. One wife only for male overseers and for male deacons. But for women elders in church leadership (the "presbyteras" of 1 Tim. 5:1-2), having...

The prohibition in 1 Timothy 2:12 is specifically against "authentein" teaching of men, as opposed to the desired calm, peaceable manner ("hesychia"). This word "authentein" indicated abusive, overbearing treatment that the Ephesian women were using over the men of the church in that city...

This first-century cult which was teaching the "doctrine of Balaam" is merely a copy of how the original Balaam got the children of Israel to sin. Some 24,000 of the Israelites were slain by God in the Old Testament for succumbing to the temptation to commit fornication and to eat things...

No, Thyatira's mention of Jezebel wasn't a prophecy. It was a declaration about a single individual woman in those first-century days who was then teaching and seducing the servants of God to commit fornication and to eat things offered to idols. If you want to know the actual name of this...

Paul included other subjects in 1 Corinthians from the letter the Corinthians had written to him. ("Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me..." - 1 Cor. 7:1). When Paul wanted to correct the mistaken thoughts which the Corinthians were believing, he used a particular remonstrance...

Do you really believe that Paul and John were teaching different, opposing doctrine on this point? They weren't. Paul did not forbid women to speak and prophesy as leaders in the assemblies, and neither did John. Paul did restrict women from teaching men in a certain "authentein" manner -...

No, they don't. That is quite a demonstration of misinterpreted prophesy in your chart, none of which matches the temporal requirements that the contexts of scripture place on those numbers (1260, 1290, 2300, 1335, 42 months). Scripture makes no such requirement at all for a third temple...

This passage about the woman nicknamed "Jezebel" calling herself a Prophetess is not a condemnation against all women preachers. It is a condemnation against one particular woman who happened to be teaching error to the church in those first-century days. If it is your view that women church...
