Based on clear scriptures which indicate that the dead in Christ will be resurrected when He returns. You really can't be more clear than passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:22-23. When you miss something as simple as this, it makes me surprised whenever you do understand...

I don't know if I said that, but I certainly do believe that. I am an amillennialist. Do you know what amillennialists believe? I honestly don't feel like explaining it to you right now, so if you don't know what we believe, then please look it up and educate yourself. In other words, you...

It doesn't say they are resurrected during Satan's little season. It says they are resurrectd after the thousand years. They are not only resurrected after the thousand years, but after Satan's little season, also. That they are resurrected after Satan's little season doesn't change the fact...

Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9...

Why would you think I haven't read that? I don't see any indication of no one being on the earth during the thousand years, so I'm asking you how you are coming up with that idea? Where are you seeing that in the text?

This shows that you are carnal and not spiritual. Paul himself said that the deeper things of God and in scripture must be spiritually discerned by way of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). But, you think you can just figure it all out without the Holy Spirit's help. You are too arrogant to...

So, you waste your time, as you so often do, trying to tell me what I believe, and THEN you ask me my understanding of it? It looks like you have my view all figured out, so why the need to ask? LOL. You are something else. No, I don't take it to mean a literal hour, as in 60 minutes. You...

It doesn't say that specifically in that text. That's why we need to read other scripture for the fuller understanding of the new covenant, such as Hebrews 8-10. Why will you not make it easy on yourself and allow scripture itself to help you understand what that passage is about? You...

LOL. Of course I know what it means. I'm asking YOU what you believe the word means in relation to the new covenant. Do you actually read what I say or just skim over it? I did not say "when God says all it does not mean all". I'm saying there are times when it says that, but doesn't mean...

There is no indication of a gap between the 69th and 70th weeks within Daniel 9:24-27. However, in Revelation 20, there is an indication of a gap between the end of the thousand years and the judgment, which is what we call "Satan's little season". Your comparison is not valid. How am I...

David, how many times have I pointed out how the word "zao" is used to describe those who live and reign with Christ while the word "anazao" is used to describe the rest of the dead living again after the thousand years? Several times. Yet, you are acting as if I've never addressed this before...

Of course we don't agree with that, but it wasn't stated like that. Anyway, it doesn't matter. That's possible. I'm not sure how someone can take part in a forum like this and not be aware of Amil since Amil vs. Premil threads are created fairly often, but maybe that's the case for some.

Scripture teaches that the dead in Christ will be resurrected when He returns (1 Thess 4:14-17, 1 Cor 15:22-23) and we see a description of the dead being resurrected at the last trumpet in 1 Cor 15:50-54 and that is when the change to immortality occurs. Therefore, we will be changed to put on...

Why wouldn't it? Do you think some people are going to appear both before the judgment seat of Christ and before a separate GWT? According to Romans 14:10-12, all people, saved and lost will stand before the judgment seat of Christ because it refers to all those who will bow before Him at that...

In this case, you can see the description of the dead being judged in Revelation 20:11-15. That occurs after Satan's little season. In order to be judged, the dead have to be resurrected first. So, it's obvious to me that the rest of the dead are resurrected and judged after Satan's little...

Okay. I think his reasoning is that 1 Cor 15:54 can't be fulfilled until Revelation 20:14 is fulfilled. He thinks that it can't be true that "death is swallowed up in victory" (1 Cor 15:54) until death is cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:14). But, once we all are changed to put on immortality...

No living peoples on the earth during that time? That's what SDAs believe. Who would be those who number "as the sand of the sea" from "the four quarters of the earth" that come up against "the camp of the saints" during Satan's little season after the thousand years ends in that case?

No. It may not specifically say it, but the dead live not again not only after the thousand years, but after Satan's little season as well. They are resurrected to be judged "to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2) and to "condemnation" (John 5:28-29) in the lake of fire. Of course...

Why would we Amils disagree with that? The wicked living will first be physically killed at His return and then will be resurrected and judged. That is portrayed in Revelation 20:9-15.

Where do any of those even hint at a thousand year period of time on earth following the judgment that they reference? According to Matthew 25:31-46, all people will either inherit eternal life or everlasting punishment at that time, which is when Jesus comes with His angels. Where does that...
