You list what is happening at the time, but miss the point of what Christ is saying entirely. Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the...

Ok. First...once again you have provided zero scriptures to back up your opinions. Secondly...4 resurrections? Tell me, apart from the verses that talk ABOUT this event....is there even one bit of proof you can dredge up that tells us that these are SEPARATE events? If I am having a family...

Welcome to the dark side! See, it's not so hard to be 'non-literal', is it? So...your saying that these resurrections are stretching on for more than 1000 years? That there's more than one, more than two? That doesn't sound right. Especially when it says "the resurrection", definite article...

Well. We're all still here. No nations have fallen, and I don't think the sky has fallen on our heads. Conclusion: Bloodmoon...non-event. Again.

First...it is hardly going to effect the death rate of Christians world over if I change my mind on what the bible says on this matter. That rests solidly in God's hand, for God's purposes...regardless if Satan is bound or not at this time. God is Sovereign. Secondly...if I am wrong, if Christ...

But can't you see? You've just blasted straight through your literal hermeneutic? If you were being true to how you insist we must interpret Revelation, then these beings must indeed be demons that appear just like they are described! Turning them into helicopters is making the description John...

It could well be that my conclusions are innaccurate, but it would be nice if you could 'show' it with bible verses, rather than opinion. I mean, sure, our own opinions come into it without question, we can't really escape that...personal presuppositions always factor into how we see or...

I'm sorry, but I simply cannot grasp what your thread is about. Do we...care...about pre-fixes? Aren't prefixes something that were used, intially, as titles of respect? Master..., Miss..., Lady....we've abbreviated them now, of course and they don't have that same formality anymore. And...

Shown how?!! With your disdain and dismissal? It must be that, and not biblical exegesis, because I haven't seen any of the latter! I'm quite happy to be shown wrong if indeed I am. But I won't be shown wrong by someone's claims and opinion alone. God's word must be front and centre or else it's...

That depends remarkably on whether or not your definiton of the "Millennium" is built from what the scriptures say about that time period, of if it's built from a rather mistaken understanding of scripture and just assumptions. I've already pointed out that Rev 20 only specifies the Satan will...

Hi Trekson. I don't have a lot of time at the moment to really get into a good, indepth debate (sadly!), but I'll try to find some time to squeeze in some comments! About this first paragraph....I have never said that the Millennium is not a "real" thing. I just think it's a current thing...

No...neither do I. This is where Dispensationalism veers away from most other systems...they hold a distinct difference for the identity of 'Israel' in the Tribulation and Millennium. While most, if they see Romans 11 as saying a great number of Jews will come to Christ, see it as just more...

It's more of an ipso facto thing: 2 Thess 2 tells us the AC comes by the power of Satan. And if we've determined beforehand that Revelation is not chronological by recapitulative, then we do not force ourselves into the assumption that when Satan is 'released' he is by himself. Because if we...

Well, we might just have to disagree about this! :D I think scripture is convincing in discribing the Millennium as a current reality. And the second verse I think, considering the reference to "no human being" it has to be referencing a time of immence, global strife and persecution and...

Maybe you are. We don't know when it will start, how bad it will get or how long it will last. But, it surely is getting worse for Christians and those who love the truth, that's for sure.

You get all that from two words? Two words that mean essentially the same thing? Wow. Pretend, if you will, just for a moment, that this passage is talking about the same period of time in Revelation AFTER Satan has been "released for a little time". I know the AC is not Satan, but they will...

Ah, what are you talking about? Did you actually read my post all the way through? My post said that we look to the other books of the bible to find the reference for the Word of God being the 'sword'. Which is what you've just done, and called me stupid for doing. So, perhaps instead of...

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. -Revelation 20:7–8 And if those days had not been...

I think this is certainly something to think about, and I think that the huge number of national Jews who have died over the years apart from Christ represent that unfaithfulness. The reason I think Romans 11 speaks of a large scale influx of Jews to Christ at the end (by all means not all of...

But then you depart from this hermeneutical principle: From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. Revelation 19:15 Do we think Jesus has a literal...
