    Maybe I Am Not Understanding the Post Tribulation Rapture. - Can You Help?

    You are not understanding what the tribulation refers to. Why are you equating Jesus destroying people in Revelation 19 on the day of His return with the tribulation of Matthew 24:29? No, He returns after the tribulation of those days to bring His wrath against His enemies. Where are you...

    Maybe I Am Not Understanding the Post Tribulation Rapture. - Can You Help?

    Good grief. So, your answer to my question of whether the souls of the dead in Christ will be gathered in heaven first before going with Jesus from heaven is yet. Yet, somehow, you don't relate that to the gathering of the elect from the uttermost part of heaven that Jesus talked about in...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Nah. You're turning something simple into something convoluted for no reason. Jesus taught the same thing in Matthew 24:35-39 that Peter taught in 2 Peter 3:10-12. Peter is clearly talking about literal, physical destruction of the heavens and the earth, just as Jesus did in Matthew 24:35-39...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    So, you believe that they will literally breathe fire out of their mouths to kill their enemies despite Jesus commanding His followers to love our enemies? Yes or no? It's not a hard question. That isn't my view of the two witnesses, so stop wasting your time making strawman arguments. You're...

    Why the great chain?

    Sure, why not? Revelation 20 says NOTHING about Satan being bound from persecuting believers. Your understanding of what it means for him to be bound from deceiving the nations is flawed, so you naturally can't comprehend how he could both persecute believers and deceive the nations at the same...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Why do you think that is a verse that Amills supposedly need to get around? That makes no sense. What is that idea based on exactly? Are you unable to be clear about anything?

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Excellent job of not addressing my point. I know you SDAs are obsessed with Catholics, but this has absolutely nothing to do with whether Amillennialism is true or not. Stick with scripture instead of spending so much time being obsessed with Roman Catholicism.

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    That is a fact. He definitely never said one single thing to support Premillennialism. Only in your mind and the minds of other Premills who take a few things He said out of context. LOL. Why do you equate judging with ruling over people for a thousand years? Do you think Matthew 25:31-46 that...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Read the Bible and ask God for wisdom to understand it (James 1:5-7). Your reliance on videos and books for understanding is your downfall. Rely on the Holy Spirit to teach you.

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    I read scripture. I don't need to read your biased books and links to understand scripture. I don't need you to tell me what the words in scripture mean. I don't need you to try to tell me that the souls of physically dead people that John saw in Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 20:4 don't exist...

    Why the great chain?

    There are plenty of reasons to think that. The literal Premillenial interpretation of Revelation 20 contradicts many other scriptures.

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Maybe put a little more effort into this and do some research on what the Greek word "apollymi" can mean. It can be used to refer to punishment or to bring to ruin. It does not refer to annihilation. Other scripture make it clear that those who are cast into the lake of fire will experience...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    You are hilarious. As if I haven't already looked at it many times? I guess you don't want to be taken seriously. You have made that clear. I don't know why I bother with you. I shouldn't.
  14. Spiritual Israelite

    Why the great chain?

    This is not a valid argument. You are using a passage that talks about Satan persecuting believers and saying the timing of that can't relate to what is described in Revelation 20:1-3, which says nothing about Satan's ability to persecute believers one way or another. You are proving nothing...

    Why the great chain?

    I told you what it accomplishes. Redefine? No, it explains what the symbolism means. Why do you try to interpret the most highly symbolic book in all of scripture as literally as you possibly can? Is that a good approach to interpreting the book of Revelation? Definitely not. You are reading...

    When Jesus returns at the last trumpet, death will be swallowed up in victory and there will then be no more death, which will fulfill Isaiah 25:8.

    LOL. As if you are capable of teaching anyone an lesson from scripture? Let's take a look at something you said earlier, shall we? This is what you call good scriptural discussion? LOL. Let us know if you ever decide to get serious.

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Your posts all give me more than a chuckle. Your lack of discernment is really something. You think you know it all, but you know nothing. Matthew 10:28 is another verse that shows human beings have a soul and a spirit, so it's strange you would bring that verse up when you deny that human...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    You clearly lack understanding of what the New Testament teaches about the fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies. Peter indicated that the resurrection of Christ was the way in which the prophecy regarding God's Son taking over David's throne was fulfilled. Acts 2:29 “Men and brethren, let...

    Why the great chain?

    Have you never seen the posts where WPM and I refuted his nonsense that Satan is not a created being? It has nothing to do with being Amil. We have refuted that unbiblical nonsense multiple times and he stubbornly insists on continuing to believe it. He not only doesn't believe that a created...

    Why the great chain?

    Is it too difficult for you to actually address what I said? You allow for the possibility that the great chain is symbolic, but somehow you don't allow for the possibility of the bottomless pit to be symbolic or for Satan's binding itself to be symbolic rather than a literal binding with a...
