    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Yes, many simply believe what they have been taught! I know this from experience! I too once believed what I was taught from well-meaning preachers and teachers. It wasn't until I became a faithful student of the Word of God myself, comparing Scripture with Scripture, and allowing the Bible...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Does the truth offend you? Lack of discernment comes when professing believers become fixated on Christ bringing the Kingdom of God physically to THIS earth! Many people can quote much Scripture without understanding the Kingdom of God is not now, nor shall it ever be a physical Kingdom upon...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Exactly, telling the first century disciples of Christ that they too shall have "great tribulation" like none other! Great tribulation is not limited to any single generation of saints but is a warning of what the church on earth should expect as the gospel is proclaimed unto all the earth...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    You do not believe that God Himself through the Gospel and power of His Spirit is now judging the wicked and delivering His people into the spiritual Kingdom of God that Christ came to earth with? Are you still waiting to be delivered or through the Spirit of Christ in you, have you been...

    The Coming of Christ and the Kingdoms — a Clear Chronology of events.

    Zechariah writes of "the day of the LORD cometh"! Zechariah did NOT write of the day the LORD would come AGAIN! All of the prophets wrote of and were awaiting the coming of the promised Messiah, i.e. "the day of the LORD" or His FIRST coming when all that is written of Him shall be fulfilled...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    That's how we know that "all" is without distinction but NEVER without exception! All or whosoever has been ordained unto eternal life will be drawn to Christ for everlasting life through Him. The elect of God: Acts 13:48 (KJV) And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    "Before Jesus returns, He said there will be a unique time of “great tribulation” unlike anything before or after (Matthew 24:21–22; Mark 13:19–20). He pointed us to “the abomination of desolation” spoken by Daniel as a key sign (Matthew 24:15; cf. Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)." When Christ spoke...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Is it your belief that when Christ comes again, He will usher in a period of one thousand years of peace on THIS earth? I ask because in your chronology you quote Matthew: "He also said there would be good seed and weeds together until the harvest at “the end of the age,” when angels separate...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    In verse one the prophet gives reference to the time/age/day he speaks of, calling it a day the LORD is coming! All of the prophets of Old speak of the same period of time when the promised Messiah would come, calling it the day of the LORD. So, all that is written of Old regarding this "Day...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    If there are clear biblical Scriptures that prove what you allege, post them! Prove from the Word of God what you allege! The prophets spoke of the coming of the LORD in a day (age/time) when all that is written of Him is fulfilled. They make no mention of the Lord Jesus Christ returning to...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    The Father does the drawing. To draw is equivalent to taking for oneself, choosing, dragging. All who are drawn to Christ by the Father, are the ones who are saved by grace through faith and will be raised to eternal life at the last day. No man will believe and receive Christ apart from God...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    If the cross of Christ draws all of humanity without exception, why isn't all of humanity without exception eternally saved? All is NOT without exception, but ALL without distinction! No longer would Christ the Messiah foretold of Old to come be limited to Jews only. Since the advent of...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    The problem for some (not you) is they read "all" as if Christ means all without exception! But we know that cannot be true because if it is then every human would be drawn to Christ and salvation would be universal. When one realizes the Bible NEVER says that ALL of mankind shall be called...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    You believe this shall be in the future when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom on THIS earth for one thousand years! Of course, that makes ZERO sense because clearly these martyrs of the faith lived, reigned and died with Christ before they were martyred during this time John writes "a...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Spiritually, yes, the mount has spiritually split! Divided between those who look to a physical mountain and those who understand Mt. Zion of God where the spirits of just man are made perfect. Don't be like the Pharisee's of Old who cling to a physical mount olive (Jerusalem of Old) missing...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    They were martyred for their faithfulness unto death! That means in life, before they were martyred (beheaded) for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, and did not receive the mark of the beast upon their foreheads or in their hands is...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Those who view the Scriptures through physical sight cannot understand that which is already SPIRITUALLY fulfilled/being fulfilled since the first advent of Christ, lacking spiritual understanding of the spiritual Kingdom of God. The passage from Zechariah is both being fulfilled and has been...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    How does quoting Rev 1:7 prove that Christ physically returns to THIS earth to establish the Kingdom of God HERE for one thousand years? When Christ returns with the clouds and every eye shall see Him it won't be to set up an earthly kingdom! Because when He returns this earth and everything...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    Where in these chapters or any other does Scripture ever say Christ returns physically to THIS earth? Also where do you read there are still unsaved believing mortal men/women to be saved after the seventh/last trumpet begins to sound the second coming of Christ in the air? Yours is the...
