In the agricultural world, apparently tares resemble wheat in the early stages. It is then a matter of, what does the wheat symbolize in the parable? Because that is who the tares appear to be masquerading as, the wheat. Matthew 7 should come to mind here, meaning for anyone that has any level...

I won't be losing any sleep over it since it's not possible to reason with you to begin with.

Any of the passages that involve Christ judging and sentencing ppl, such as Matthew 25 and Revelation 20, or any other ones that you can think of , can you point out in the text where you see anyone doing what I quoted from your post above?

Ezekiel 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places...

The logic would be this then. He is bound so that he can't deceive the nations to battle anymore until the thousand years are finished. Which then begs the question. What nations was he initially deceiving to battle before getting bound 2000 years ago? After all, what he does after the thousand...

A lot of what you submitted I'm basically in agreement with you about. And it amazes me, the fact you are an Amil, that you possess this level of discernment involving this chapter. Most Amils make nonsense out of the texts involved, not sense out of them like you are attempting to do. But even...

If we apply Zechariah 14:11 spiritually to the here and now, even that can't work. That verse says that Jerusalem shall be dwelling safely. But if we factor in the beast and fp persecuting the saints, that hardly fits dwelling safely. As if, the fact the persecution is literal and in some cases...

Though, that is true, that is beside the point. Zechariah 14 involves prophecy. And that there has to be some form of logical chronology involved. Some of Zechariah 14 couldn't possibly be pertaining to anything in this present age prior to Christ returning, in any sense. Notice that I said some...

Verse 2 says this, for instance---and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. How does that remotely agree with what history records happened in 70 AD? Then there is verse 3 to factor in--Then shall the LORD go forth, and...

Which Jerusalem do you take that to mean? A lot of these translations of this verse in question, verse 11 in this case, render it---there will be no more curse. Exactly what it also says of the NJ in Revelation 22. Can't remember which verse offhand. The Jerusalem meant in verse 11 will never...

In another post you indicated the beast has been around since the beginning. I do not disagree with that. What about the false prophet, though? Has the false prophet also been around since the beginning? Let's not forget about him or it or they, whatever the fp might be. According to Revelation...

And guess what those translations support? Reigning with Christ a thousand years. Too bad Amils can't apply any of that to when their proposed millennium is meaning. You would think Revelation 3:21, for one, should be coming to mind. What I'm arguing is that they don't sit on 12 thrones judging...

They are 2 different Jerusalems for sure. Except neither one of them is meaning the literal city in the first century.

1) Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 2) Zechariah 14:11 And...

Apparently, you don't grasp the argument, or that you do except you are ignoring the argument. The argument is this. When the martyrs live and reign with Christ a thousand years, thus have part in the first resurrection, it is meaning after the beast has already ascended out of the pit first...

Since I assume you obviously take the sheep and goats judgment and the great white throne judgment to be one and the same, can you then point out in any of those texts where you see anyone judging anyone other than Christ Himself alone being the one judging everyone? Unless you can prove that...

What should we make of this part? And how long should we assume this involves once it begins? Keeping in mind, it is obviously connected with the following, for one. Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son...

In my view, and not in the view of most Premils, is because that is where the new Jerusalem will be. No doubt in my mind, some of Zechariah 14 is pertaining to the new Jerusalem, meaning after it comes down from God out of heaven. I basically see the NHNE as a process that begins with the 2nd...

When do you take the thousand years to be meaning? Before the 2nd coming or after the 2nd coming? If the former that makes you either Amil or Postmil. If the latter that makes you Premil. But this doesn't mean you have to agree with everything one of these groups you fit into does.

If your point perhaps has to do with homosexuality, the fact you put 'men' in bold letters, I don't see that making sense of the text based on what this part says---the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. One of those is something good that you would hope to happen to you, the other...
