    When was Satan cast out of heaven, down to the earth?

    Through evil spirits of this world. Is it not through the Spirit of Christ in us that believers have been set free from fear of death? If the Spirit of Christ is able to work in us after Jesus has been long dead and ascended to heaven, what prevents the evil spirits of this world from doing...

    When was Satan cast out of heaven, down to the earth?

    Because only the king of the bottomless pit was bound. As an evil spirit there are still many that are controlled by his spiritual influence to walk about seeking whom they Satan may devour. Revelation 9:11 (KJV) And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose...

    When was Satan cast out of heaven, down to the earth?

    This is speaking about two separate events. Being cast DOWN and being cast OUT are not the same. Satan was cast OUT of heaven with his angels and bound to earth when Christ was born according to Rev 12. When Christ came the "now" fulfillment is known as He goes about casting demons/devils out...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    No. I'm saying the bare grain is living soul a spiritual body without physical form. As Paul continues, he speaks of all the different kinds of flesh there is. Not all are the same flesh as the flesh of men (human beings). He says there is flesh of beasts, fishes and birds. And there are...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    The body is flesh with the breath of life (spirit) and together the two became a living soul. As long as there is life either of the body or the spirit believers are living souls. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    Here is a small snippet of his work. He writes, "A grid exist of 'weeks', periods of seven years and multiples of seven that extend beneath the pages of Scripture surfacing briefly within stories and seemingly innocuous chronologies. Take, for example, Jacob's age of 147 years at death. This...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    The body sown is the flesh that died. It shall not be resurrected again until the last trump sounds. What is raised, not resurrected, because it never died, never ceased being a "living soul". But when the natural body died as spiritual body a living soul without physical form was raised up...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    You would really be helped perusing the book "The Atonement Clock" I linked for you. Like Grafted branch has said the first of 490-year era begins with the era of Jacob's ladder. The second 490-year era is found through the time of the Judges. The third 490-year era in the reigns of the...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    Yes, Gedge's mention of Christ ushering in the final Jubilee went right over my head. Now that I understand, I don't see a problem in saying the final week is literally one week, nor do I see a problem saying the final one is seven years, because it is actually both!

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    Grafted branch, you might find the following link interesting. It uses the Bible to prove a kind of grid exists that runs throughout Scripture, and goes in-depth on Daniel 9 prophecy that leads to Christ. The Atonement Clock.

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    I know! I've been so absorbed in this book. Although as I've now read beyond the 70 year prophecy of Daniel and realize that I don't agree with all that Chris has written, I still think his work in finding the grid and making a connection to the Atonement of Christ is excellent! Thanks again...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Since that which comes out of the graves is changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to incorruptible it can only be flesh, as from the beginning when God took dust of the earth to make man. OTOH, the spirit (breath of life; mind, heart, will, emotions) that gives our mortal body...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    I don't disagree! But that which is raised (not resurrected from the dead) still being a living soul is a spiritual body, not the physical body that shall not be RESURRECTED immortal & incorruptible until the last trump sounds. 1 Corinthians 15:44-49 (KJV) It is sown a natural body; it is...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    Yes, we do, when we have been born again from above. The same Spirit (breath of life) that made Adam's body alive (a living soul), is the Spirit that quickens (makes alive) our spirit (mind, heart, will, emotions) that before new birth is dead in trespasses and sins. At creation humans alone...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    When Christ says that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall not die, He meant it! It is only by believing that mankind is alive because they are clothed in flesh & bone that one might believe eternal life lasts only as long our body breathes. It is not our physical body that gives us life...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    It seems to be a complete act of futility to address their opinions!

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    After telling us our natural body will die and be raised a spiritual body, Paul then addresses the resurrection of the dead this discussion specifically questioned. Because some did not believe there would be a resurrection at all for those who had died, or anyone else so they were not...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Yes, when the natural body (physical) dies it returns to dust, but as "bare grain" the spiritual body without physical form is raised to heaven. Then when time given mankind whereby they must be saved has ended, our natural body too shall be resurrected immortal & incorruptible, made alive...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    You're right and I agree nothing more needs to be said about dispensationalism's decapitated 70th week. But there is a reason for the separation of the final seven weeks of years. It took a little research and much thinking for me to figure out why, because I'm not very familiar with the...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Here again, you show no compulsion to try to answer anything I've said, neither will I give an answer to more opinions we've heard so many times before.
