    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    Please read revelation 20:4-6 again. Does this not say " the souls...... " It is not discussing Jesus here as the first resurrection. What do you do with the reference / purpose for the 1000 year comment? What do you do with the reference / purpose for the "second resurrection? (the second...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    John 5:28-29KJV 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. This is true.... it...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    So, you are saying the 1000 years is not literal because you cannot find a verse that speaks of a physical location? Is the time element a literal 1000 years but it is with the Lord - not on earth?

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    Would you mind letting me know what is telling you the 1000 years are not literal. I have not seen anything or might have completely missed it. Thanks.

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    Thanks for your response. Unless I am not understanding your comment, here is what I think I see within your response: There are two sets of people at the end of time - those that are dead at His coming that will be raised from the graves to be with Him for the 1000 years. Secondly, those that...

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    That is a great question / observation and one that I have been confused about for some time. I have only come up with one answer, and if you might comment on it or offer another that would be great to think about. If you notice I have numbered each of the steps or movements and have...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    For what it is worth.... this is a cut out of the commentary on Revelation chapter11 - still in progess....All symbolic. If the 144,000 serve as the last earthly messengers of God’s truth, then they complete the mission of spreading the Gospel in the face of worldwide opposition. By looking...

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    For what it is worth.... 1. The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection (the righteous dead) The dead in Christ will rise first, and those who are alive in the faith will be caught up together with them. Key verses: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord himself shall descend...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    For what it is worth... The AOD represents the rejection and crucifixion of our Messiah by His people. This would, of course, have many consequences: 1) From a phyical or literal way, the Temple would no longer serve to house the presence of God. It had fulfilled its mission in pointing...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    (John 16:5–16) 15If you love Me, you will keepe My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocatef to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Would you like to remind me what is the comment / interpretation I mentioned that you see differently? We can briefly discuss it.... Thanks.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    I think I see what you are saying. But the old covenant was comprised of three sections. We have the 10 commandments - which is the moral law of God. We have the religious laws which I believe might be the 603 laws of the 613, and finally, we have the ceremonial laws such as the animal...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Not to be arguementative at all, but perhaps i am not understanding what you might mean regarding the old covenant. If I were to use the definition of trhe Old Covenant as meaning the 10 commandments only, then I would have to say that it is quite still valid. If not, then which of the 10 have...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    If you do not mind, the most important interpretation within these verses that speak of the AOD is that it represents God’s spiritual desolation that would come upon His people for the next 2000 years (times of the Gentiles) as a direct result of their rejection and crucifixion of their Messiah...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Well, thanks for the response but to be candid, it was just too much to follow. If you would like, take one issue with one of my comments and tell me how you interpret it. One at a time and we can discuss.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Part 3 of 3 the "abomination that causes desolation" In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is portrayed as the Suffering Servant, the one who came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Unlike Matthew, which presents Jesus as the Messianic King and High Priest...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Part 2 of 3 the "abomination that causes desolation" In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus is presented as the Messianic King and High Priest, fulfilling the Jewish prophecies and establishing the long-awaited kingdom of God. Written primarily for a Jewish audience, Matthew carefully links Jesus to the...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    For what it is worth, here is a cut out of the discussion in the commentary on Daniel for the AOD: It obviously takes a completely different approach on the definition of the "AOD" and speaks to the 3 verses in the Gospels that refer to Daniel.... Part 1 of 3 the "abomination that causes...

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    Thanks for your response. I would like to request that you try and interpret these and most of Daniel in a non-historical manner. God has called out these 4 and only 4 kingdoms out of the sea in chapter 2. These will be the only kingdoms He will establish in His plan of salvation where He will...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    If you do not mind, and although I have not read the latest pages within this topic, I would like to suggest or offer one prophecy that I believe must take place .... soon! It relates to the 70 weeks of years prophecy in Daniel 9. The total prophecy is for 490 literal years and it began in 457...
