You're not paying attention to what I'm saying. The word zao is not a word that is used to describe a resurrection (coming to life) and it is not only used to describe someone who is alive that was formerly dead. If it was, then you'd have a point, but it's not. The word zao is used to...

You think all evil will be gone during a future millennium after Christ's return? Do you see Zechariah 14:16-21 as describing the millennium after Christ returns as most Premils do? If so, then what do you make of the evil described there, such as people refusing to go worship the Lord?

No, it absolutely does not. It only proves that you don't know how to interpret Old Testament prophecies correctly. You are not looking at the context of that verse. The following verse refers to the same time period as Zechariah 13:4. Zechariah 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and...

This is ironic for you to call someone else's argument ridiculous when most of your arguments are completely ridiculous.

No, that will be "in the air", as Paul taught in 1 Thess 4:14-17. After that is the judgment as portrayed in Matthew 25:31-46. It won't be in Jerusalem since heaven and earth will flee from His presence when the judgment takes place (Revelation 20:11). It's best to ignore your interpretations...

That is not correct. Peter taught that Jesus inherited David's throne upon His resurrection from the dead. Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a...

That seems to describe you. But, if you're so knowledgeable then I'm sure you can tell me plainly who or what the beast is and what it means for the beast to be in the abyss/bottomless pit and how it will ascend from the abyss in the future. So, please enlighten us on that.

No, he did not say that the beast did not exist at the time. You are not reading the verse carefully enough. Notice that it says the beast would come out of the abyss in the future. So, the beast exists in the abyss in John's time. But, that is figurative language. It's not a literal beast...

No, it isn't. It is depicting living souls in heaven who had previously spiritually had part in Christ's resurrection, which was the first resurrection. Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people...

Are you somehow not aware that we, the church, are part of the new, heavenly Jerusalem in a spiritual sense? Hebrews 12:18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;...22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the...

Premillennialism does not recognize the parallels in the book of Revelation. Not every passage about the return of Christ contains the same details. But, in both Revelation 19 and Revelation 20 there are battles between Satan and his armies/followers and Christ and His armies/followers which...

Amillennialism understands that not all details about certain events are given in every passage that relates to those events. Other scripture indicates that the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the resurrection of the lost happens on the same day or around the same general time. John...

Who believes this? It looks like you wasted a lot of time trying to refute things that maybe one person believes or something. You said "some" Amils believe this. Are you sure? It clearly says John saw souls of dead people, so how can anyone say those who have part in the first resurrection...

The word zao is not the one used to describe a resurrection or the act of coming to life. It describes someone being alive. It can be used to describe someone who was dead and is now alive. But, the word is never used to describe a resurrection itself. That word is anazao, which is the word...

It says Apollyon is their king, so that means he is one of them and is their king. Why wouldn't he be with them? How can he be their king but not be with them? And, of course, he would leave with them when the pit is opened. This illustrates your problem. You can't believe anything unless it...
