The term "locusts" is used, not demons. So, you see the locusts as symbolically representing demons (I agree with that). How can you say you don't see anything symbolic in the passage when you don't believe it's talking about literal locusts?

Why do you think that? He also saw a beast with seven heads and ten horns. Does that mean what it represents in reality resembles a literal beast with seven literal heads and ten literal horns? Is that how symbolism works? I don't think so.

It doesn't just spell it out to us that it's symbolic. It's something that can be spiritually discerned by looking at other scripture. The fact that the New Jerusalem is referred to as "the bride, the Lamb's wife" (Rev 21:9) highly suggests that the description of the New Jerusalem having gates...

Answering questions with questions? I'm not into that type of discussion. If you answer my questions, then I'll answer yours.

They don't all actively and knowingly worship Satan, of course. But, there is a sense in which every unbeliever could be considered a Satanist in the sense that they all are his children (see Matthew 13:38-39). Anyway, how many people do you think a number of people "as the sand of the sea"...

You think that "Demons are the spirits of reprobate humans both dead from the time of the Flood until today"? Seriously? You don't believe in hell then? The spirits of reprobate humans (unbelievers) go to hell when they die. They can't possess other humans. LOL. Have you ever seen an Amil claim...

I'm not saying it has to say those things outright. It just has to say those things in some way. Can you prove that it does? Or are you just interested in making claims that you can't back up? You are the one claiming that Zechariah 14 supports premil, so you should be able to back that up. A...

LOL. How would you even know for sure if you were misrepresenting my view or not? Do you think you know my view even better than I do? You absolutely do not. And you absolutely HAVE misrepresented my view a number of times. I'm not saying you've done it on purpose, but you certainly have done...

But, it's not a literal beast and they are not literal heads and horns. Likewise, the gates of New Jerusalem are not literal gates. So, you completely missed the point, as you so often do. You clearly don't understand how symbolism works. The symbols in Revelation are always described as if they...

Wait a minute here. Where does it indicate in Zechariah 14 that any rebellion that would occur (such as refusing to go to Jerusalem to worship the King and keep the feast of tabernacles) would only occur after the thousand years ends? And how does refusing to go to Jerusalem to worship equate to...

Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. So, you think this verse is talking about something that will...

If the bottomless pit/abyss in Revelation 20 was literal, then we'd have to conclude that everything written in relation to it is literal as well. Which would mean that the chain that binds the dragon, Satan, is literal as well. Is that what you believe? Yes, they are. It makes sense to me that...

Explain this to me in detail how that would work. I never said it's every single person on the planet, but it does say they number "as the sand of the sea". How does "a few delegates" from each nation number "as the sand of the sea"? You can disagree all you want, but if you interpret...

LOL. Do you seriously think that the following verse is talking about the two witnesses going up towards heaven in a mushroom cloud after a nuclear explosion? LOL! Revelation 11:11 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a...

Jesus indicated that we can know when His coming is near, but not the exact day or hour. What is hard to understand about that? He specifically said to His followers "ye know not what hour your Lord doth come". Do you think He was wrong about that? What He wants us to do is to be ready for His...

All you ever do is prove that Amil can't be true from the Premil perspective. Well, no kidding. That really proves nothing, though. Amils do not claim that the binding of Satan is a literal binding that restricts his movement, so proving that his movement isn't restricted does NOTHING to...

Is it not possible for a word to be used literally in one verse and symbolically in another? For example, Revelation makes several mentions of Babylon. In the Old Testament, Babylon referred to an ancient city that ruled over the world long ago. Does that mean the Babylon of Revelation is that...

Why did you assume that he had any idea of what he was talking about while he was misrepresenting what amils believe? Do you just take everything he says as truth? Have you ever once seen an amil equate the bottomless pit with the whole world. I know you haven't. So, why would you think he was...

This is completely false. Amils do not say that the bottomless pit "is the whole world". You're the one who takes the pit literally, not amils. You obviously don't even understand amil, so you should never comment on it because it just makes you look ignorant. I know I don't try to comment on...

It isn't that the chain restricts Satan's movement. That's not how Amils look at it. It restricts his ability to "deceive the nations". Premils and amils disagree on what that means exactly, but it has nothing to do with his ability to move around, as you imagine. It has to do with his ability...
