LOL. I get my understanding from what Jesus Himself taught about this age and the age to come, so, once again, you have no idea of what you're talking about.

But, you had said it will last "many thousands of years" and didn't say it would last forever. That's why I questioned it. Anyway, at what point do you think "Abraham and his descendants will take possession of the land of Canaan"? Before or after what is described here: 2 Peter 3:10 But the...

But Jesus compared it to His future second coming which we all agree is a global event (except preterists, I guess). What was the comparison He was making between the two events? That both involve fire coming down from heaven to destroy unbelievers. Jesus compared the scope of His second coming...

Such ignorance. Jesus very clearly taught that those who are saved will be resurrected on the last day and here you are denying such an obvious truth. John 6:40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at...

Paul taught that the dead in Christ will be raised at the last trumpet. 1 Corinthians 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised...

You are not obligated to respond if someone asks you a question you've already answered. You can just ignore that.

This is a new one. I've never seen anyone take the "thousand generations" literally before. Most people understand that should not be taken literally and simply is figurative language to indicate that God's promises never end.

It all depends on how you define an age. But, since you are posting this on the Eschatology and Prophecy Forum, then it makes sense to talk about how many ages there are in relation to eschatology and prophecy. And, in that sense, there are 2 ages. Here is how Jesus differentiated between them...

Why would we want to keep this for our records when we disagree with you on some of these things?

The problem is with how you interpret passages like those. For example, Isaiah 2:2-4. That passage is about "the last days". According to New Testament scripture, the last days generally refer to the New Testament era. It was the last days already on the day of Pentecost (see Acts 2:16-21) and...

Nonsense. You are acting like a baby here who can't handle having his views being challenged. This thread is about when Jesus will return. Amils believe that Jesus will return in the future just like you do, so we should be able to discuss that as well. We're seeing you there now. Do you deny...

You just don't get it. How can figurative locusts literally come out of a literal place within the earth? The whole description is a figurative way of describing angels being given permission to go and torment certain people. The spiritual realm exists outside and around the earth, not within...

Where does it say that the camp of the saints are with Jesus Christ? In heaven. The camp of the saints, which is a figurative reference to the church, are on earth.

How is his view of Revelation 20:9 preterist? You don't have a clue of what you're talking about. Amils like WPM, jeffweeder, rwb and myself believe that that the camp of the saints is a reference to the church. What does viewing it that way have to do with preterism? Nothing. I think most...

What is childish is that you continue to put a label on me that doesn't belong. I could use similar logic and put the dispensationalist label on you, but that wouldn't be fair since you only agree with that belief system on some things, but also disagree with it on some things. Yes, I...

How exactly is that clear? It's only clear if you assume that what is described in Revelation 20 follows what is described in Revelation 19 chronologically. But, not everything in the book is chronological. The most obvious example of this is Revelation 11 and 12. The end of Revelation 11 talks...

Right. I gave him examples of that from the Old Testament and he wasn't getting it. I also gave the example where Jesus said "many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:14). He wasn't saying that not all people are called. He was just saying that the number of people who are called, which is...

What scripture teaches is that Jesus Christ's resurrection itself was the first resurrection. Why are you not taking that into account? 1 Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man...

Here you are doing it again. You just respond with statements like this without actually addressing the points that someone has made. Why do you do this? If he is so wrong, then why don't you show how that is the case using scripture? Do you think your opinions alone are going to convince anyone...

You are continuing to miss my point. I am NOT saying that it should be translated as "all". What I'm saying is that it is referring to all of the days that Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines rather than just some of the days he sojourned there. So, in that case "many" does not mean...
