    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    Which would have to logically mean that his binding is during when he still has access to heaven before he is cast out into the earth. After all, it makes zero sense that he would be having great wrath while depicted locked up in the pit, right? his great wrath has be during a time when he is...

    Interesting preterist argument

    It's not entirely clear to me by what you submitted, that if you agree Noah's flood = tribulation, or that you disagree it does? The way I tend to try and view a time of trouble is in this manner. It involves conflicts between nations, for one. For example, WW1, WW2. Those are examples of...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    You are being unfair here or you have reading comprehension. I did not use chagpt to do any of my thinking for me here. I used it in order to reframe what I said so that what I said might be easier for some to follow, since I don't exactly claim I have stellar writing skills. Granted, some in...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    Except, IMO, that is not the manner in which these things are being applied in Revelation 6:11 and Revelation 20. A little season is meaning it's duration once the little season begins. In the meantime this little season in both accounts are irrelevant since they only matter once they begin. For...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Noah's flood does not qualify as tribulation, so why are some still arguing it does? Look what Jesus said in Matthew 24 in regards to the days of Noah leading up to the flood---For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    I typed up a response, but instead of posting it first, I gave it to chatgpt to polish up, so to speak, thus the following. Still my thoughts, still my answers, just not framed in the same way it initially was. ----------------------------- chatgpt: Refinement of Your Reply (Polished Tone) I...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    Trust me, though I might disagree, I get where you are coming from here. But there are some hurdles you have to get over first that make your view come across as unlikely in the meantime. For one if a little season per A) can equal a lengthy time, a thousand years, actually 2000 years and...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    IOW, let's just contradict everything John told us in Revelation 20 and what the logical conclusion would be based on what he told us. First he told us this. Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    I'm not even an Amil, and even I understand the logic in Amil. If the thousand years began at the cross or soon after, when the thousand years end then, whenever that might be, that unless Christ has returned at the end of it, this indicates that we are still in this present age in the meantime...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    A) Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. B) Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Obviously, the last hour is not meaning a literal 60 minutes. I'm certain you obviously agree with that. Therefore, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence by telling you something you don't already obviously know. I said it in order to lead up to my points that follow. That it means the last...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Let me lay something out for you to consider, though I suspect your doctrinal bias may make it difficult to fully engage with what I’m trying to show here---especially since you're not even a Preterist, yet agree with them that Matthew 24:21 is meaning 70 AD. My concern is with your...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    All I know is, I don't dislike Catholics. I have had numerous Catholic friends over the years. It's their religion I don't care for and I don't see it being reasonable that a saint, such as Justin Martyr was deceived about the millennium the entire time, but that Catholics who pray to departed...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    Have I been assuming some wrong things about you this entire time? Compared to @Spiritual Israelite, even though you and I might not agree about everything, you at least appear to understand where I am coming from and why, where @Spiritual Israelite typically doesn't a lot of the time. Thus why...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Since I noticed you mentioned me here, I already wrote up something to try and address your post with here. But before I submit that, I need to be reminded what EXACTLY is your definition of Noah's flood? Does it qualify as tribulation, for example, in the same manner Matthew 24:21 qualifies as...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    One reason I have been opposed to Amil is not because I don't want Amils to win the argument, but is mainly because I despise Catholicism. I do not even remotely dislike Catholics, I just don't like their religion. I don't know how many Catholics there might be worldwide, maybe billions for all...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    Actually, if Amil is true, the only thing that can possibly make sense out of those in Revelation 20:8 during the millennium, is that these are among the ones saved during the millennium, thus not deceived during the millennium. Then after after the millennium they are tested. The ones that are...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    As to interpreting some of Zechariah 14 literally, and if the NJ is in view at the time, that would mean those that are to come up are not living in that region where the NJ is if they are living in the nations outside of it instead. But somehow, in your mind, verses 16-19 fit the here and now...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    OK, so you don't spiritualize the animal sacrificing then. Ok, if you say so. I'm being sarcastic of course. In your mind then, why is it ok for you to spiritualize the animal sacrificing but it is not ok for me to do that?

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    Of course it is not literally meaning the feast of tabernacles. Some Premils might believe it is, but I don't. Yet I still believe some of Zechariah 14 is meaning post the 2nd coming, the fact verse 9 can't be fulfilled until verse 12 is fulfilled, and that verse 9 can't be fulfilled until...
