Everyone here thinks that about themselves... :) Grace and peace to you.

Symbolically speaking, yes. Well, they will actually happen, but I'll just say ~ and I think this is sufficient ~ Zechariah's vision (an important distinction to make) resonates with the upheaval of the earth at the coming of the Lord depicted elsewhere at Isaiah 40:4... "Every valley shall be...

Oh, so you have an opinion, too. Who-da-thunkit? :) Ah "yes"... :) Grace and peace to you, David.

What makes you think that Amillennialists do not think that what the prophet described won't happen in the very way the prophet described it? I can describe most, if not all, things ~ even ordinary things ~ in symbolic ways... :) And just because I am using symbolism to describe those things...

That's the problem, Timtofly. You don't go by what I post. The only question, then, really, is whether you actually ~ mistakenly ~ think you do, or you're purposely changing what I post into something it's not. No, I did not. I would never do such a thing. LOL! Wow. There are different...

LOL! I understand your opinion. :) Sure he did. I didn't suggest otherwise. Well, the wrong point... :) I am not a post-tribulation believer. I've been very clear about that. I'm... not even sure how you got here. And am not interested in finding out. :) Everyone is here for the...

Well, I understand the three and a half days of Revelation 11:2 as the same period as the three and a half years... it repeats on a smaller scale the period of 42 months (Revelation 11:2) also described as 1260 days (Revelation 11:3, 12:6) and the "time, times, and half a time" (three and a half...

Well, allow me... :) And I think at least much of what I'm going to say here you are implying in your question: Having failed to destroy Christ (Revelation 12:4-5), the Dragon tries to destroy the people of Christ. He uses his mouth, representing his deceit (Revelation 12:15, 9; 2...

Going to add this about "typology." One of my favorite verses in the Bible ~ because it shows us several different things ~ is Hebrews 1:1-4, and really more specifically verses 1 and 2: "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days...

It just is what it is, RWB. You're right. And you can reason all you want, but for those bought into this "typology," no amount of reason is going to change their minds. You might recall with me the words of those... poets, I guess... Simon and Garfunkel, from The Boxer in 1968: "Still a man...

I would like to know when and where I did that ~ or where you think I did that. No idea what you’re talking about here. LOL! What’s not “scholarly” of me, FOTG? I mean, not to give the impression that I think of myself in any kind of conceited or puffed up way, but my goodness. I’m not...

I'm not "rejecting the Scripture(s)" in any way, David. That's a silly thing to say, quite frankly. What I was looking for ~ earnestly ~ was a personal answer to a personal question, and then maybe some discussion. That's how personal conversations work... or, at least, should work. :)...

But different people believe different things about any one certain passage of Scripture, Fullness of the Gentiles. If you don't want to have ~ or can't have ~ a direct conversation regarding any one passage of Scripture with another question, then, okay, we just won't have it. I asked you a...

Well, sure, but I'm asking you what you think, Fullness of the Gentiles. Do you always carry on "conversations" like this? Everyone here thinks that about everything they say. :) I'm not saying you didn't, but still, I'm trying to have a conversation with you. My goodness... Nope. Stop...

Hm, well, that's... ambiguous. :) It's not really an answer to the question I asked you. I agree that we will not be immortal until after the resurrection (if that's what you're saying). I asked you if you thought our salvation (not immortality) ~ eternal life ~ was secure in Christ when we...

FOTG, you say a lot of really good things (in my opinion, of course), and I thought we were on the same page regarding the millennium, but based on this, it seems not. It seems you too suppose God's millennium to be future only. Is that correct? Or perhaps instead of 'millennium' you mean to...

Yes, the "best" in that they are God's elect. Well, separate in that these are the ones God has purposed to make holy, His remnant that He is saving unto Himself. His "wheat," from whom the "tares" are separated. Well, it's no mere thing. :) No, but like I said, you're opinions are very...

I appreciate your opinions... for entertainment value if nothing else. :) Grace and peace to you, Timtofly.

Could be; there is the Mid-Oceanic Trench out there in the middle of the Atlantic... Evidence? Well... maybe. :) Grace and peace to you.

We don't know how long. I get it; you're counting generations, I think. But we can't know that, really. And I would say that speculating on any of this is in any case beyond Moses's intent in writing Genesis... and even God's intent in inspiring Moses's writing. Grace and peace to you.
