LOL. Of course I believe He COULD do that, but I recognize that it's talking about a dragon being chained up and that figuratively represents Satan's binding. You don't recognize that because your default is to assume any given verse within the highly symbolic book of Revelation is meant to be...

I would never call God's Word nonsense and you know it. It's your interpretations of His Word at times that I find to be nonsense. You have some beliefs that are all your own. I believe the fact that no one agrees with you on those things is evidence that your beliefs are nonsensical.

Isaiah 65:17-25 is clearly about the new heavens and new earth. Only doctrinal bias can cause someone to deny that. We know that Revelation 21:4 clearly indicates that there will be no more death when the new heavens and new earth are ushered in, so we have to keep that in mind when...

No, those passages are describing the NHNE. But in a way that people back then could understand. They were not ready yet to grasp the concept of eternity at that time, so that's why it was written in such a way that people could understand. Look at this passage: 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the...

Then why are you ignorant of what that means? Do you think the Lord is confined within the realm of time that He created? That verse is NOT saying that one 24 hour day to us is equivalent to a thousand years to the Lord as you seem to believe. That would imply that time affects the Lord but...

Are you suggesting that you think the day of the Lord lasts for one thousand years? Will it take that long for Him to burn up the heavens and the earth like 2 Peter 3:10-12 describes? You shouldn't be so quick to mock someone else's beliefs when your belief about the duration of the day of the...

It says no such thing. In 2 Thess 2:1-3 it indicate that the gathering occurs ON the day of the Lord. Paul uses the phrase "the day of the Lord" synonymously with our being gathered to Him at His second coming there. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our...

A dragon being bound with a chain is clearly figurative language. But, it should be understood literally? Really? No. Satan, a spirit being, can't be literally bound with a chain. Think about this more carefully instead of making assumptions based on a carnal rather than spiritual...

Great post, Paul. Premils just don't recognize the difference between what Satan was able to do in Old Testament times compared to New Testament times. He went from being able to keep a vast majority of the world as slaves to the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15) in Old Testament times to not...

So, you're saying the basis for being left behind or not is whether or not you believe in a pre-trib rapture and not whether or not you have faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? What nonsense!

Isaiah 66:22 specifically refers to the NHNE, so why are you (seemingly) denying that? Or are you saying you think there will be 2 NHNEs?

Let me make it clear that I fully believe in the "future literal, visible, second coming of Jesus" FROM heaven in case you didn't know that already. Is Jesus coming to the Ancient of days to be brought before Him in Matthew 24:30 and Revelation 1:7? No. In those verses, He is leaving the...

Stop posting nonsense and I'll stop posting replies like that. Deal? I have a feeling that you're not up to the challenge, though.

Stop your nonsense, Davy. You come across like you know it all about this topic and you know nothing. You are clearly not reading 1 Corinthians 15:49-54 carefully at all. You are apparently the one skimming through it and not understanding it. The context is that those who are changed also...

Don't ever tell me what I can say or not say. It is a figurative dragon, representing Satan, that is portrayed as being literally, physically bound with a chain. Obviously it's not a literal dragon being bound with a literal chain in reality, but that is the picture John is painting to...

You obviously weren't following the discussion very closely. I was talking about what Peter said in 2 Peter 3:5-7. You must be assuming I was talking about what Jesus said in Matthew 24:37-39. No, it was taught by Peter in 2 Peter 3:10-12, by Jesus in Matthew 24:37-39, by Paul in 2 Thess...

And that's fine. But, I'm not sure if you're understanding my points or not. If you understand my points but still disagree, so be it. Again, Daniel 7:13-14 talks about Him coming into the presence of the Father. Where would that be? In heaven. Clearly, He doesn't come to be in the presence...

I don't find this argument regarding the words "came" and "go" to be convincing at all. He can come to heaven or He can come to earth. At His ascension from earth, He came to heaven (from earth). The word "came" does not have to imply Him coming from heaven to earth as you are insisting...

Right. That's what I'm saying. Are they not the same as the dead referenced in Revelation 20:11-15? I believe they are. In contrast to that are those who will be rewarded at that time, which are God's people. Rewarded with what? Just read what directly follows Revelation 20:11-15. The new...

This is incredibly farfetched. Where is this found in Matthew 25:31-46? Nowhere. That passage shows them being gathered before the throne of judgment. Why would they be gathered before the throne of judgment only to be allowed to live for a thousand plus more years until actually being judged...
