    o. Revelation 20:2-3 "thousand years" mentioned twice. o. Revelation 20:4 "thousand years" mentioned once. o. Revelation 20:5. "thousand years " mentioned once o Revelation 20:7 "thousand years" mentioned once.. That is FIVE TIMES. "Thousand years" is by DEFINITION a "millennium."

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Jesus shed his own blood, and God the Father accepted it. Animal sacrifices were a proxy, pointing to the sacrifice of Jesus. God Himself became a man and paid the penalty for us all.

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    o. Jesus returns (Revelation 19:11). o. Jesus rules 1000 years, a millennium (Revelation 20:5). o. That is a pre-millennial return. o. New heavens and earth come after the millennium (Revelation 21:1).

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    IMO: The Tribulation is 7 years, where "year"=360 days. The second half is great tribulation (Matthew 24:21).

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    The coming of Christ to remove his subjects from the coming judgments ("rapture") is depicted in Revelation 14:16. This is before the great tribulation.

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Sure: "And when the *thousand years* are ended..." (Revelation 20:7). No more time after that, rather new heavens and earth (Revelation 21:1). It's in the BOOK.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    IMO: He is a charismatic person. He will arise after the Jews are back in the land (already happened). He probably is Middle-Eastern. He is noted in Revelation as "the beast." Another "beast," apparently a fallen angel, will support him. "Beast" is an epithet indicating "brutality." He does not...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    "Dissolving by fire" (2Peter 3:10) occurs after the Millennial Reign of Jesus (Revelation, chapters 20:7-15, 21, 22).

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    IMO: Satan is a cherub, Michael would not be capable of restraining him. That would be like me against Hercules.

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Jesus comes and reigns 1000 years (Revelation 20:6). After that, new heavens and earth (Revelation 21,22).

    The Beast Revelation

    IMO: The early population was scattered by *linguistic* division (Genesis 10:25), not by earth movement. The current earth is the result of the breaking up of Pangaea, killing all but the seven people on the ark. We are all their ancestors. (Genesis chapters 6-9). There is no way the people...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Truth7t7 says: <I disagree> (1000-year reign) Bible says: <reign with Christ 1000 years> (Revelation 20:4)

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    6 Stories asked: <how does he have air power> He came from heaven, lots of air in heaven. And he was thrown down (Ezekiel 28:14-19).

    The Beast Revelation

    Ronald Nolette noted: <Yes there was a concept of planet earth> IMO: There is no way anyone could have known the earth is spherical. If you disagree then I invite you to cite your reference. Your quotes about "earth" are English translations of Greek γη = "land."

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    IMO: The restrainer is the Spirit of God. o. Only God would have such capability. o. God is triune: Father, Son, Spirit. o. The restrainer is taken out of the way. o. Jesus is not yet there, hence he is not in the way. o. No one could take God the Father out of the way.
