So who do you see handing out the cities, Christ or Satan?

What would be the difference between saints and the righteous? Are you associating the saints with those judging the 12 tribes in Matthew 19:28?

Did you even read the OP? When the cities are given out in the parable there are more cities than there are servants. Read the parable again. So you think the parable uses having authority over cities even though the meaning of the parable has nothing to do with having authority over other...

There might be a way the parable fits the Premill view. If you were to say the cities are given out at the beginning of the millennium, they would be empty cities, devoid of people. As the millennium progresses the cities would fill up and those that initially got the cities would maintain...

I’m not fully convinced of the where and when His return is in this parable but it could’ve happened just after the cross. Here’s the verses that might suggest that … Luke 19:15 then he commanded these servants to be called unto him. Matthew 28:7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he...

Ok, I have no issues with what you’re saying, how are you interpreting the parable of the minas? Why does it seem like there will be more cities than there are servants?

I agree. The parable of the minas is told in the Gospel of Luke and it’s important else it wouldn’t have been included. What are your thoughts on that parable? How should it be understood?

There is the historical reality that people fled Jerusalem when they saw it being surrounded by armies. In post #203 you say “This is not about Jews fleeing physical Judaea here!” It sure seems like you’re attempting to cancel reality to me. It’s called common sense. You yourself say the Bible...

Here’s the issue, you spiritualize everything to an extreme, to the point that you don’t accept the literal interpretation because you have the spiritual meaning canceling out the literal meaning. That means you don’t have the correct spiritual meaning. In the post above you admit your...

I actually agree with a fair amount of how you’re connecting things together. I differ from you in that I see old covenant Israel as the one that goes apostate rather than the new covenant church. That’s why I personally would place Michael standing at the cross, not at some future time.

Lightning is literally a local event and not a global event, under perfect conditions theoretically a person could observe lightning from a maximum distance of approximately 273 miles (440 kilometers) away. Here’s the formula … D = (2RH + H2 – 2Rh – h2)1/2 D is the maximum distance that...

From Revelation 20:2 the dragon is the Devil and Satan. Since Michael defeats the dragon, if Michael is not Christ then we would have an angel with less authority having the ability to defeat Satan. I haven’t studied this idea but if there is a verse that shows the hierarchy of power then that...

Where in time do you see Michael taking a stand in Daniel 12:1? Did He take a stand the cross or do you think He hasn’t taken a stand yet?

I think it’s a possibility and wouldn’t argue against it. I have had some people use Jude 1:9 as an argument against Michael being Christ because in that verse Michael says “the Lord rebuke thee”. They argue that if Michael were Christ he would’ve rebuked himself and not said the Lord rebukes...

The same angel in Daniel 12:7. The name of that angel is not given.

Old Covenant Jerusalem.

Well, we are descendants of those who were left in this world, and we are descendants of those who obeyed and fled Jerusalem before it was destroyed. The destruction of Jerusalem was the final closing out of the old covenant. That covenant was no longer valid at the cross but it was allowed to...

What if a person calls himself Jesus and we pinch ourselves and we know he’s fake and that he’s the Antichrist. Then that person claims all those who are physically beheaded will live and reign in the coming millennium. He then sets up medical clinics where believers can go, publish their faith...

How do you see the son of perdition being revealed? I’ve had some folks tell me that they will watch and listen to this person then compare that to the scriptures and that’s how he will be revealed and how they will know who he is. It seems kinda strange to use the Antichrist’s words and...

In order to get the full context regarding Michael we need to start with Daniel 10. NIV Daniel 10:20So he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; 21but first I will tell you what is...
