It's not a problem for amils at all. The false prophet is the beast that rises from the earth (Revelation 13:11). Prophetic beasts are kingdoms (Daniel 7:23). Nothing can force us to conclude that the beast is a person or that the false prophet is a person.

Where does it say that everyone who ever has the mark of the beast has to be alive at that time? It doesn't. More assumptions. The text also does not say that all of them who ever will have the mark of the beast and worship his image experience what is described in that verse. You can't...

Yeah, him forcing us to prove our view under his terms is just ridiculous. It obviously isn't hard to show that many people have been martyred during the time period that we believe the thousand years symbolically represents (the New Testament era), but for some reason he thinks we need to do...

Since he was alive at the time, he included himself among those who are alive and remain. There's no reason to read anything into that as if he was claiming that he would be alive when Jesus came. He didn't know when Jesus was coming because no one knew the day or hour of His coming (Matt 24:36...

Do you imagine that you are making a strong, coherent argument when you post like this? You do NOTHING to back up your claims with scripture. How can you expect to be taken seriously when your posts are only filled with one liner claims that you don't back up with scripture?

I won't drop it. I can see he's a buddy of yours, so you're trying to defend your buddy. But, you can't tell me what to do. It REALLY did call for it. He thinks he is proving something by just making one liner claims without backing them up with scripture. And he's misrepresenting and mocking...

It's called interpreting scripture with scripture, which is a foreign concept to you. I showed, using scripture, what happens to those who will say "Lord, Lord, open to us" when He comes. You just want to keep each passage of scripture in isolation from the rest of scripture, but that is a...

You have changed your view since the last time we talked about this then. Because in the past you have said that you see them as being the same time period, but you denied that Revelation 11 indicates that the beast ascends from the pit when the two witnesses finish their 42 month/1260 day...

Exactly. He seems to be incapable of looking at things from an opposing view's perspective without trying to force the opposing view to agree with his futurist perspective and his understanding of things like the beast and the binding of Satan. We are not obligated to have the same understanding...

LOL. I don't know what you're thinking when you post things like this. Who claims that Revelation 20:4 parallels Satan's little season? No one. You are the king of strawman arguments. You make them over and over again. LOL. You make so many assumptions. That is what your doctrine is based on...

Yet, you don't use that to help understand the timing of Revelation 20. I don't get that. I would like you to respond to my post #12 and explain to me how you can reconcile what is written in Revelation 20:6 with premil. He will be delivering the kingdom He has been reigning over to the Father...

We've been over this before multiple times, so it's amazing to me that you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. Though, I guess it's been awhile since we last went over this. From what you've said in the past you agree with me that the 42 months/1260 days of Revelation 11 is the same 42...

This is pure nonsense. Nothing but babbling. No exegesis of scripture to ever be found from you. Your doctrine is based only on assumptions and speculation and not on scripture. Back up these claims with scripture if you want to be taken seriously. Show exactly how you're coming to these...

You can't refute what I said in post #68, but you are welcome to try. Your insults prove nothing. Try exegeting scripture for once and see how it goes. You seem to be afraid to do that. Why don't you show me how I'm supposedly misinterpreting the passages I quoted? Tell me how those passages are...

Good luck finding a pretrib rapture in the scriptures I posted, right? Pretribs never use scripture to interpret scripture. They interpret each verse or passage in isolation without considering context and without taking the rest of scripture into account.

Nonsense. Paul didn't know the timing of Christ's second coming. No one knows the day or hour (Matt 24:36, Matt 25:13). You are trying to make the text say what you want it to say. Your rigid, hyperliteral approach to interpreting scripture doesn't work. You need to use spiritual discernment. He...

What Bible are you reading, anyway? It's very clear that all believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air at the same time. 1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by...

Right. Those who say "Lord, Lord, open to us", like the foolish virgins (Matthew 25:11) when Christ comes, will be cast into the fire where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to...

Nonsense. There can be exceptions. You don't need to interpret that verse so rigidly. Lazarus and others died twice. To not allow for exceptions to that is ridiculous. Paul clearly taught that those who are alive and remain will be caught up with the resurrected dead in Christ at His second...

LOL. How in the world can any mortals survive the burning up of the earth? Why do you interpret 2 Peter 3:7-13 based on Isaiah 24:6 instead of the other way around? Don't you know that the NT shines light on the OT prophecies for us? Clearly, 2 Peter 3:7-13 has the entire earth being burned up...
