    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    The only way Amil survives is if only OSAS is Biblical, NOSAS isn't. Which would then mean everyone overcomes, regardless. Which then makes nonsense out of why does one need to overcome in order to be rewarded, if being saved alone automatically means having overcome, period? Some Amils of...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    Presently He is reigning on the right hand of power. What all does that involve? It involves judgment, justice, and death, for one. But once 1 Corinthians 15:28 is fulfilled, He is no longer reigning in that manner, yet He reigns for ever and ever. Just not in the manner involving judgment...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    So you then think these locusts make up all fallen angels? Obviously, not all fallen angels are in the pit yet some are. That's why you are confused here, because I'm not denying that fallen angels are roaming around free. I'm denying that all fallen angels are being imprisoned. Some are, some...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    Some of us are not saying Christ is not currently reigning. What some of us are saying is that He is not reigning bodily in the earth yet. That He is not sitting in the throne of His glory yet. But when He returns He will be doing just that. IOW, His reign began 2K years ago but it doesn't...

    The "watch rapture view"

    Jesus said only the Father knows that day and hour. It would make Jesus a liar if before that day and hour arrives, that the Father alone does no longer know that day and hour, others do as well. Jesus even said the angels in heaven don't know that day and hour. Why would that change eventually...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    Is satan bound in the way Revelation 20 defines during the church age? Amil claim. Binding = restriction, not elimination. But Revelation 20:3 says---so that he should deceive the nations no more. Earlier in Revelation it says satan deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9). Deceives earth...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    As to the 5th trumpet look what these locusts do once they are loosed. Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads nd it was...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    That's because you favor Preterism. Yet most Amils see ch 19 looking forward since most Amils take it be involving the 2nd coming in the end of this age, as do Premils. Let's entertain your position for a moment. What in ch 19 prior to ch 19 in the book of Revelation do you see mirroring the...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    The Amil reading, as far as I can tell. Revelation 19:1-21--future still. Thus no recap. Revelation 20:1-6---the present---thus a recap. Revelation 20:7-15--future still. Thus no recap. If Revelation 20:1-6 is a recap, where before 20 ch does it support it? Except my opinion is, there is...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    When you say spirit, what are you meaning by spirit? For example, there is the holy Spirit. Do you take that to be meaning a real being? Or do you perhaps take it to mean the way JWs take it to mean, for example? Speaking of spirits. Luke 24:36 ¶And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in...

    Why the great chain?

    Now explain what that passage would mean when he is no longer bound, thus is loosed. After all, bound and loosed are exact opposites.Therefore, undeniably proving binding satan has zero to do with this, otherwise the exact opposite of that passage would be true when he is no longer bound...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Maybe it's because you haven't fully grasped how Scripture interprets Scripture is supposed to work?

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    First of all heaven doesn't always mean the unseen heaven where God and angels dwell. In Revelation 19 heaven is mentioned a cpl of times. For example, here--And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven(verse 17)...

    Why the great chain?

    IMO, the pit is literal. Meaning a literal place. But not literally bottomless. It is bottomless per the perspective that it's depth can not be known nor searched out. Something else to keep in mind, John is using real world imagery and that it can't mean one thing in the real world then...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I haven't been following this thread myself. So I have no clue what all the hostility you mentioned was in regard to, unless it was towards insisting satan was not a created being. I can see someone taking issue with that, since I certainly take issue with it myself. We have to keep in mind that...

    The sons of God

    Anyone who gets their teachings straight out of Shepherd's Chapel rather than the Bible, is the last person anyone should be listening to, period. As to the old world in question, 2 Peter 2-3 undeniably settles it. 2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God...

    Why the great chain?

    What are you talking about? I guess I need to translate what I meant in that post since some of you obviously have reading comprehension in regards to it. Especially including @Spiritual Israelite Here's the entire post again, but this time with translation. ------------------ Let's break...

    Why the great chain?

    So, IOW, if JWs claim Jesus is an angel, that is a no no. But if Amils claim Jesus is an angel, that's perfectly ok. After all, verse 1 clearly says angel, does it not?

    Why the great chain?

    The point you seem to be overlooking is this. During the war in question the rest of the world, the unsaved, are worshiping the beast, thus equals a time when satan is obviously deceiving the nations. Revelation 13:11 ¶And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns...

    Why the great chain?

    Maybe I didn't see the questions yet? But now that I have. The answer to question 1 is simple. he is released after the thousand years are finished. Why is he released? That is the question Amils have no good answer for. he is released in order to deceive the nations whose fate was not Zechariah...
