All I know is that you can't seem to comprehend the Israelite concept of the "First-fruits" harvest - the FIRST of three harvest seasons celebrated in Israel at Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. The wave sheaf of the barley harvest along with the single he-lamb at Passover was...

You misread God's statement. God was not dictating a command for the husband to rule over the wife. He was warning the original couple of the sad results which their fall into sin was going to bring upon themselves. The unfortunate result was that men would end up dominating women, and that...

Well, that would be the "presbyteros" men elders and the "presbyteras" women elders which Paul wrote about. But really, all in the assembly are required to be exercising judgment on what they hear spoken concerning scripture - not just the elders. Christ designed the church to be reflective...

Not in the translation I am reading for Revelation 20:4-5. I believe you are reading a translation which says "...and they came to life and reigned with Christ the thousand years...". The translation I am reading simply says "...and they lived and reigned with Christ the thousand years..."...

Since Jerusalem is situated next to a seismic fault line, this was a quite literal earthquake predicted which would break apart the crest of the Mount of Olives at Christ's second coming return, with the resulting rubble falling downhill in all directions - north, south, east, and west. The...

The Zechariah 12:4 set of horses is discussing Old Jerusalem of the first century in the process of being judged. The Zechariah 14:20 set of horses is discussing the NEW JERUSALEM conditions of blessing in the history "from year to year" after Old Jerusalem's destruction. We are still currently...

There is just one particular resurrection event being spoken of in Revelation 20:4-5. And that resurrection involved the "remnant of the dead" coming to life again. That was the "First resurrection".

Yes, this also tells us that we are dealing with a period in Israel's history when the Sabbath rules of locking the gates of the city were still in operation in Jerusalem. The prayer also included that this flight be "not in the winter". Fortunately, this AD 66 flight from Judea and Jerusalem...

You're right that Christ did not deny Satan's statement in Luke 4:5-7. Ever since Adam and Eve obeyed Satan's temptation, they both abdicated their dominion over the planet and became the servants of sin. "His servants ye are to whom ye yield yourselves to obey." This put Satan in the...

The "remnant of the dead" coming to life again WAS the event of the "First resurrection". John called the resurrection of the "remnant of the dead" by this title. This took place when the millennium was finished. All of that "remnant of the dead" coming to life again was called "blessed and...

I've not read the contents of this entire post, but has anyone made comment on the "elect lady" that John was commending in 2 John? She and her "elect sister" both had "children" who were walking in truth, and who were also commended by John for their faithfulness in following the commandments...

Is your position that the "first resurrection" event is only the spiritual awakening to eternal life which all the elect experience? If so, then you are essentially saying that this "spiritual awakening to a state of eternal life" was also shared by Christ Jesus, since we are "joint heirs"...

All of these compared texts involved the process of Jerusalem being taken down in the period from AD 66-70 of the Roman / Jewish war. The warning which Christ gave in Luke 21:20 for His disciples to flee from Judaea and from Jerusalem to the mountains was fulfilled in AD 66. This is when...

#1) The scripture's language does not require that these individuals themselves reign a total of a thousand-years of their own lifetime. These individuals took part in "reigning in life by one Christ Jesus" during the ordinary span of their lifetime, at some point while the thousand years...

Are you asking "Why only 3 resurrections?"? There are exactly three separate group resurrection events because these three "harvests" of the saints' bodies out of the ground would be a fulfillment of the symbolism in the Mosaic harvest festivals. Attendance was required at the three feasts of...

Then I am that exception. And I am not the only one that sees scripture teaching the Revelation 13 Sea Beast to be past history, coming into existence long before AD33. The Sea Beast in Rev. 13:2 had all the features of Daniel's three former kingdoms represented by the lion, the bear, and the...

Oh, I don't need to "fire back", because I agree with all of this that you posted above. It doesn't contradict the position I hold at all. I heard someone one time describe the events of Revelation 19:11-21 as the battle with Christ from the Beasts' perspectives, while the events of Revelation...

This concept of repetition in scripture is a good part of where I see God having planned for 3 separate bodily resurrection events, based on the Israelite schedule under Mosaic law of 3 required harvest celebrations of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. This pattern established...

You only think it is wrong because you presume that the millennium begins with Christ's second coming. It doesn't. John tells you when it ended. The millennium ended when Christ ascended and the Devil descended. Very simple.

Revelation 19:12 speaks of Christ's rule over the many nations by the "many crowns" He is wearing at that point. These many crowns were going to be confiscated from the prince of the kingdoms of this world after God had slain Satan, the dragon and the ancient serpent (Is. 27:1). But this "many...
