The mark of the beast is something that those who worship the beast, which is all those whose names are not written in the book of life (Rev 13:8), have and it marks someone as being opposed to God. How could some physical mark that represents economic control be a mark that indicates that...

I quoted scripture that contains the words "buy" and "sell" used figuratively and you think that is incomprehensible? I did not say those with the mark of the beast would be the only ones with access to the gospel. Don't blame me for your lack of reading comprehension skills. I'm saying the...

Absolute nonsense of fairy tale proportions.

Total nonsense. You refuse to accept what scripture teaches, which is that prophetic beasts are kingdoms (Daniel 7:23). The beast is a symbolic entity, but you interpret it to be a literal beast. That's like interpreting the woman who sits on the beast (Rev 17:3) as a literal woman. Just utter...

This has nothing to do with the Olivet Discourse. Did someone teach you this?

Buying and selling does not need to have anything to do with buying and selling merchandise. Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white...

Nonsense. All whose names are not written in the book of life worship the beast (Rev 13:8) and have its mark. How could literally all unbelievers have a physical mark of the beast? That isn't even reasonable. The mark of the beast is the spiritual opposite of the seal of God, which figuratively...

Yes, I agree. Just as the seal of God (the Holy Spirit - Eph 1:13; 4:30) is not a physical seal, neither is the mark of the beast. All whose names are not written in the book of life worship the beast (Rev 13:8) and all who worship the beast have the mark of the beast, so the mark of the beast...

LOL. We're meeting Him "in the air", not in heaven. He's bringing heaven to us. If we were going to heaven at that time, there would be no point in meeting Him in the air. Pretrib doesn't even think about such things because logic and reason are not things that matter to pretrib.

No kidding! He just makes a bunch of baseless claims and declares himself the victor. The next time he actually exegetes scripture will be the first time. What a joke.

This is talking about our souls going to heaven when we physically die. How does this prove pretrib? Whoa there, buddy! You are making scripture say what you want it to say once again. You should never do that! Nowhere does that say that the bridegroom takes the wise virgins with Him form...

LOL. What a hypocritical statement. He is the one who started this thread with many verses that refute your beliefs and you've done nothing but babble endlessly in response without proving anything using scripture yourself.

Don't be a fool. Do you actually think that the reign of Christ will ever end? Does scripture not say His reign will be forever? Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The...

Nonsense! You've been provided plenty of evidence in support of Amillennialism and you ignore it all! You do NOTHING to refute it. You run away from it. BEWARE of your FALSE doctrine of premillennialism that you can't support with scripture. Righteousness won't reign until the eternal new...

Where does Matthew 27 say anything about anyone being resurrected to everlasting life or to everlasting shame and contempt? Nowhere. That is not referring to the fulfillment of Daniel 12:2. Also, the Hebrew word translated as "many" in Daniel 12:2 (raḇ) does not mean "many, but not all". It's...

I don't understand where you're coming from here. Are you saying when it says "when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, the let those in Judea flee to the mountains" (Luke 21:20), that Jerusalem represents Jesus being surrounded by unbelievers? The context of the Olivet Discourse has nothing...

Prophetic beasts are kingdoms, not individuals. Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Don't forget that a great deal of...

LOL. Doug, did you somehow miss when I said I agree with this? But, it also says the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman, Babylon, sits. That is not literal mountains any more than the many waters she sits on are literal waters or any more than the beast with seven heads and ten...

Absolutely! It's incredibly insulting to Christ and the work He accomplished on the cross to suggest that nothing changed after His death and resurrection in relation to Satan and the world. Why did He come then if that was the case? Scripture says He came to the destroy the works of the devil...

He made no effort to get my point. I believe I was clear. I showed him Ephesians 2:11-13 and he acts like it either doesn't exist or that Paul was making things up there. Well said. But, I think he will probably ignore all of it because he wants to believe in premil no matter what evidence we...
