It is the RIGHTEOUS who are enabled to "dwell with the devouring fire" and to "dwell with everlasting burnings" in God's own presence. With the covering of Christ's own righteousness imputed to me, in my resurrected glorified body I will be able to look upon my King in His beauty "in the land...

Of course Jesus warned His own generation of the "flaming fire" in which He would come to "take vengeance" upon the living by recompensing tribulation to those who were troubling the Thessalonian Christians (2 Thess. 1:8-9). These would be "punished with everlasting DESTRUCTION from the...

It sure is. It can represent holiness, judgment, a refining process, the blessing of the Holy Spirit with "tongues of fire" on Pentecost, fiery words coming from a prophet's mouth, the vengeance of God, etc., etc.

That "eternal fire" is in heaven, issuing forth from before the eternal God's throne (as in Daniel 7:10). If you are one of the righteous, you will be enabled to "dwell with the devouring fire" and "dwell with everlasting burnings", face to face with your King in the land that is "very far...

The original Greek in this verse is "eis ton aionon", which means "unto the ages". Ages have ending points. Eternity doesn't. This torment of the devil and his angels and the living Scarlet Beast and False prophet lasted until the ends of the ages, which Paul wrote was finishing up in his...

You didn't read my statement carefully enough. When Christ rejecters die, they do go to Hell (the grave). What I wrote in my comments is that the wicked dead do not get an ETERNAL LIFE of torment in Hell (the grave). The souls of the wicked dead are reserved in Hell (the grave) to face God's...

This "burning forever and ever" is a presumption on your part, which Scripture never teaches. In the Garden of Eden, God set up a sword guarding the way to the Tree of Life, so that fallen mankind could NOT eat of that Tree of Life and live forever in a wicked state of separation from God...

Of course the Bible warns about "fire". But it does NOT warn about something you are inventing which you call "Hell fire". "Hell" (Hades) is simply the grave. ALL mankind experiences dying and going into the grave one time. We have a one-time death appointment which all must experience the...

You are inventing terms which the Scripture never uses. Do you see the word "Hell" anywhere in this text you have just written out? It isn't there. A "Lake of Fire" is mentioned (which is defined as the "second death" in Rev. 20:14), as well as "the everlasting fire", but these are NOT the...

Those who ultimately reject Christ are not given eternal life in Hell - not even a tormented perpetual life in Hell. Their fate is to be destroyed, both body and soul. The wicked dead are to "perish" in the "resurrection to destruction" - not endure an interminable life of torment. And Hell...

The Rev. 20 millennium was a literal thousand years which lasted from 968/967 BC until AD 33. It ended with the "first resurrection" of Christ and that "remnant of the dead" (the Matt. 27:52-53 resurrected saints) which lived again when the millennium had "expired", and was "finished" and...

You are making a broad assumption that no such document exists to prove Christ's AD 70 return. To make such an assumption, you would have to know without exception what historical relics are in every location on earth. Archaeology is an ongoing process, with new discoveries constantly coming...

You aren't reading what I wrote carefully enough. I never said there were no eye-witnesses of Christ's AD 70 bodily return. There were. Zechariah 12:11 tells us that it would be Jewish tribal members "IN JERUSALEM" who would see the returning Christ and who would be greatly mourning when they...

There were no Christians remaining in the besieged city of Jerusalem to be eyewitnesses of Christ's bodily return in AD 70. Remember, Christ had forewarned them in Luke 21:20-21 to flee to the mountains from both Judea and Jerusalem when they first saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies (which was...

Actually, the Roman soldiers built a wall of circumvallation around the entire city of Jerusalem in AD 70, in a matter of just a few days. But whether this Roman wall of circumvallation was constructed either before or after Christ's bodily return, this would have no bearing on preventing...

Ordinarily, it would be reasonable to expect some kind of documentation for Christ's bodily return - unless all of those eye-witnesses of Christ's bodily return to Jerusalem's Mount of Olives (per Zech. 14:4-5) died shortly afterward during the Roman siege of AD 70, or were taken captive to die...

Yep. "A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the threshing wheel over them." (Proverbs 20:26). "Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." (Ecclesiastes 8:11).

All the believers who had died up until then were bodily raised in the AD 70 resurrection, just as had been predicted for that first century generation. The "last days", "latter days", "last hour" etc. took place back then with the power of the holy people being shattered, just as Daniel 12:7...

The Rev. 13 Sea Beast was not a single person, but a corporate entity that included features of the lion, bear, and leopard kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece as well as Rome. The Rev. 13 Sea Beast and the Rev. 17 Scarlet Beast were counterparts of each other. The Sea Beast with its...

Jerusalem was also known for the seven hills which it sat upon from antiquity, long before Rome became established on its own set of seven hills as a city on the Tiber. The high priesthood wore a crown on their forehead with "holiness to the Lord" engraved upon it. And the high priesthood WAS...
