    Could Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 all be post millennial?

    No, nothing I wrote bails out the Amil view. What are you talking about ? Jesus returns in Revelation 19, then there is the millennium. Why does there have to be a passage in the NT about burning of weapons instead of wood for 7 years ? The part of the weapons that will be burned is the...

    Could Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 all be post millennial?

    I wrote the feast on the dead (by the birds) in Ezekiel 39:17-20 is the same feast (by the birds) in Revelation 19:17-18. The feast (by the birds) on the dead of Gog's army in Ezekiel 39:4 will be 7 years earlier.

    Could Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 all be post millennial?

    Gog/Magog in Ezekiel 38: 5 references what would be considered specific nations.

    Could Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 all be post millennial?

    The bible does not go into detail about the weapons of the armies that will gather at Armageddon to prepare to make war on Jesus. Since we are living in the end times, we should have a good idea of what modern day weapons of war are. In Revelation 19:19, it does refer to armies - but not...

    Could Ezekiel 37, 38 and 39 all be post millennial?

    The Ezekiel 38-39 attack on Israel will take place 7 years before Jesus's return. The 7 years are in Ezekiel 39:9. Then 7 years later in Ezekiel 39:17-20 is the Armageddon feast on dead bodies corresponding to Revelation 19:17-18. Gog-Magog of Revelation 20:8-9 is that the same nations...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Well. you are wrong. When Jesus returns, He will rule the nations with a rod of iron. So the earth must be inhabitable during that time. and in order to be inhabitable, Jesus must restore the earth from the effects of the great tribulation. Also when Jesus returns, there will be living...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    When Jesus returns, He will restore the earth from the effects of the great tribulation, so that the earth will be made inhabitable again.

    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.

    So where does it say in scripture the day of the Lord ends ? Is the kingdom of God an everlasting kingdom ?

    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.

    In 2Thessalonians 2:1-4 the day of the Lord begins. The day of the Lord is not a 24 hour day, but a period of time that once begun extends into eternity. It has no end. When the Antichrist reveals himself to be the man of sin by sitting in the temple, claiming to be God (an action...

    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.

    If Paul was saying that gathering were to be on Jesus's second coming (His return of Revelation 19), then why would the Thessalonians be troubled by rumors that the Day of the Lord had started already ? The Thessalonians were troubled because they thought they had missed the...

    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.

    The souls of Christians in heaven are awaiting the resurrection of their bodies in the resurrection/rapture event. In their eternal everlasting bodies, the resurrected/rapture saints will return with Jesus as His bride.

    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.

    The day of Christ in verse 2 is the day of the Lord. 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a...

    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.

    You are referring to Matthew 24:31, correct ? The gathering of the the elect. That verse is referring to the final gathering of the Jews from the nations to the land of Israel. It is a promise that God made in Deuteronomy 30:1-6. 1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are...

    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.

    In 1Thessalonians5:9-11, the resurrection/rapture will take place before the day of the Lord begins when God's wrath will be poured out. The day of the Lord begins when the man of sin sits in the temple, in 2Thessalonians 2:4.

    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.

    I have not said anything about how long the resurrected/raptured saints will be in heaven before returning with Jesus as His bride. The resurrection/rapture could happen today. We don't know exactly when. Except that it has to take place before the man of sin is revealed by the act in...

    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.

    I did not say the souls of the dead in Christ are part of his bride. The resurrected dead in Christ and the raptured living in Christ will be His bride. The changes is to the bodies, not the souls.

    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.

    But not in Revelation 19:7-8 and Revelation 19:14. It is His bride that come with Jesus from heaven. His bride is the armies which were in heaven. Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

    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.

    The resurrection/rapture event has not taken place yet. No, I don't believe in soul sleep.

    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.

    1Thessalonians 4:14-18 is about the resurrection/rapture event - not about Jesus;s return with His bride. 1Thessalonans 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. The souls of the dead in Christ that God will bring...
