No, Mathew 25:34 and Matthew 25:46 are referring to His sheep inheriting eternal life in the kingdom of God when He returns. The body of Christ are those who belong to Him and those who belong to Him are His sheep (see John 10). You are badly mistaken.

There is no precedent in the Bible where the Greek word translated as "little" in both Revelation 6:11 and Revelation 20:3, which is "mikros" (Strong's G3398) ever means anything but a small amount of something like time or something being literally small or small or low in stature. But, you...

That's fine. This makes no sense. I don't find this to be a strong argument at all. It's just another argument from silence. Another argument from silence. Each verse is speaking of different aspects of what occurs during that little season. So, let's agree with the pre-tribs then that 1...

Some of them are those who fall away, sure. But, not all of them. It's referring to all unbelievers there. All unbelievers will be destroyed by the fire that comes down from heaven, not just those who fall away (Revelation 20:9, 2 Peter 3:10-12). LOL! Give me a break with your nonsense. You are...

Neither. I'm comparing similar things that both involve tribulation, but the tribulation of Matthew 24:21 is unlike any other tribulation that has occurred anywhere in the world. This should not be so hard to understand. I love how you try to make the rules all the time as if the options you...

You obviously misunderstood my question. I wasn't asking if you see Revelation 6:11 as occurring during the thousand years or not. I'm asking you when exactly you think the little season of Revelation 6:11 began and when exactly you believe it ends. Do you believe it began long ago when the...

I have never said that. Please show me where you think I said that. I have said several times that I believe he is loosed right after the thousand years ends which is quite different than saying he is loosed within the thousand years. Not sure what you think you're proving with these...

When do you see the little season of Revelation 6:11 as having begun and when do you believe it ends?

The Premil response:

It didn't seem like it to me. You said "The key word, I guess, in your statement here is 'entire,' but in the text, the word 'until' necessitates the entirety, that the "thousand years" is necessarily expired when the loosing occurs.". You came across as if you thought I did not agree that the...

I believe they are the same. I also believe that the seals, trumpets and vials in Revelation are parallel. I believe that Satan is loosed at the fifth trumpet since I believe that Abaddon (Apollyon) is another name for Satan and it talks about the bottomless pit being opened at the fifth...

We don't disagree that the thousand years has expired when the loosing occurs. We disagree on when this age ends. You say it ends when the thousand years ends while I say there is a short time that occurs after the thousand years ends before Jesus returns. So, neither of us can understand what...

Yes. And? It's clear to me that he is loosed during this temporal age for a little season or short time before this temporal age ends and the eternal age to come begins. Is that how you see the little season in this verse as well then? Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one...

Did you just ignore all the scriptures that covenantee posted which show that every time the word "naos" is used by Paul it refers to an individual's body or the collective body of Christ (the church) as the temple of God? Paul is speaking figuratively in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 about people in the...

Agree. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many people like that on this forum. At least, not any of the active posters. Hopefully, some lurkers are learning something.

Why would I disagree with that when it explicitly says that? But, after the thousand years ends there is a little season of time that occurs before those who are deceived by Satan are destroyed by fire that comes down from heaven which I believe occurs when Jesus returns. You seem to interpret...

You list scriptures with no exegesis or explanation for how you come to your conclusions. Anyone can do that. It's meaningless.

Eternal life with immortal bodies in the kingdom of God prepared for us from the foundation of the world which will be in the new heavens and new earth. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit...

If I was a Premil and saw the arguments that you and I are making, I would become an Amil. I know that is true because that is exactly what happened in 2006 when I saw Amils like you, Shirley and @DavidTaylor making irrefutable arguments in favor of Amil on the old Bible Forums site.

The coming age is eternity, so I certainly don't see anything in Revelation 20 which suggests that he is loosed in the eternal age to come. It talks about him being loosed and then going throughout the earth to deceive people throughout the world in order to unite them in opposition to "the camp...
