    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    This doesn't make sense??? The natural body of every human ever to have lived or shall live is under the curse and destined to die. The natural body can NEVER receive eternal life. Eternal life is given to the spirit in man and will live on after death through the Spirit of Christ in our...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Your explanation is not accurate because you repeatedly misquote the verses in reference. All of these verses that say "THE thousand years" refer back to "A" thousand years. Revelation 20:2 (KJV) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    If Paul meant the resurrection of our body, why would he say "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body"? The two are not the same or Paul would not have said, "that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    All people without distinction (both Jew & Gentile) hear the Gospel of salvation through Christ, but only those who believe are eternally saved.

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    Those who died in faith before Christ's cross and resurrection had part in the first resurrection when Christ rescued them from death and took them with Him when He ascended to heaven. They went as spiritual body with Christ to heaven, because the first resurrection is spiritual, not physical...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    Paul is saying those who are still physically alive when the Lord comes again will not be physically resurrected and bodily changed (made immortal & incorruptible) before those who have already physically died in Christ. Those who have died (sleep) in Christ, before His cross and resurrection...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    What exactly have you understood for decades now? It clearly is not the meaning of a thousand years. As far as 1000 years being one of seven, you got me??? You'll have to prove what you allege. I'm not inclined to agree without having proof from the Word of God.

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    Bob, I would agree the 144,000 could be the remnant of Old Covenant Israel in the vision John sees in Rev 5. But it might also represent all the redeemed in heaven or the full embodiment of heaven before the first advent of Christ. IOW God may have given John a vision of the plan of God from...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    This flock of 144,000 are all from the tribes of the children of Israel, Old Covenant ethnic Jews of faith. The Old Covenant people were first to hear the good news of salvation as the little flock or remnant of old. But what about the other sheep that are not of the same fold with Israel...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    What does that mean? God is not saying one day and a thousand years are the same thing, so what does He mean? What does "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" mean? Hint: John writes that saints who have been martyred in time had already lived and...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    The book of Revelation shows us a thousand years equates to TIME! Time when the power of Satan to hold all people in bondage to fear of death has been forever broken by Christ' cross and resurrection. And at the same TIME when the Gospel is sent unto all the Gentile nations of the world. Once...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    I agree Scripture often uses language such as "trial by fire" an expression of anguish and suffering Christians must go through in this life Bob, but I cannot agree the lake of fire or destruction by fire of this earth that shall come will simply be expressions of torment. The fiery destruction...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Why do you continue to push for an eternal promise on an earth destined to destruction? Do you need the eternal promise God made to Abraham and his SEED (Christ) on this earth to promote a doctrine for another one thousand years after the Lord returns? Perhaps millennialism is why you cannot...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    However God determines to bring about a new earth, the fact remains this heavens and earth will pass away. It will not be for THIS first earth that eternal promises are made by God to any man. 2 Peter 3:6-7 (KJV) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    No, you don't get it! As I've shown you, a few times now, all the promises God made for eternal land can only be fulfilled on the new earth. Because it is the only earth that shall be FOREVER. Any promise for land on this earth can never be an eternal promise because this earth is destined for...

    The Day of the Lord

    The Day of the Lord coming is determined according to whose prophesy is being foretold. If the prophesy for the Day of the Lord is foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament, who lived and died before the advent of Christ, then the Day of the Lord to them began when the promised Messiah...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    It depends on what one believes the falling away signifies. Since I believe the falling away Paul warns the Thessalonians will come is associated with "the coming of our Lord, and our gathering together unto Him", along with "that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord"..."shall destroy with the...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    Our gathering together unto Him had not come nor was the day of Christ at hand when Paul wrote this epistle to the Thessalonians. Christ' coming again will be preceded by "the falling away" and the man of sin being revealed. Paul tells us who the man of sin is. The son of perdition is anyone...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    There is a physical land of Canaan, but if it is this physical earth, it cannot be inherited forever! For all this earth will be utterly destroyed. I agree Abraham, along with all who are of his SEED (Christ) shall physically inherit the whole new earth after this first earth has been utterly...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Yes, when the land of Canaan is part of the new earth that shall come it will be inhabited only by those redeemed by the blood of Christ. This is the eternal promise given to Abraham and all who are of his SEED (Christ). Not this physical earth destined to destruction, but the new earth where...
