Ok, thanks for that response. I’m not Premil and I think the Bible is complete, but I can see why a Premil might say it will be added to in the millennium. As I stated in the OP, I’m not personally trying to debate this, but I’m sure others will as this is a controversial thing. To be clear...

I agree, but doesn’t that also mean that God couldn’t have added any time in between week 69 and week 70 in Daniel 9?

Yes, I agree. Although I think many Premils will include verses such as Zechariah 14:18 as a rod of iron rule that we currently aren’t judged for but people in the Premil millennium will be judged for. Zechariah 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there...

Ok, fair enough. If Christ doesn’t add anything new then we should be able to come up the rod of iron rules based solely on what the scriptures say. Where in the Bible would you say those rules are? The Ten Commandments?

Sure, I’m not implying that Jesus will go against what has already been written. But where does it say He couldn’t add in something that would still keep all the other words already spoken true? For instance why couldn’t Christ add in an extra 7,000 years in between the millennium and Satan’s...

Ok, so are you of the opinion that Christ will only say what’s already been written during the millennium, and no new utterances will be made?

Well, I’m not worried but it just seemed strange to me that the Premil position would allow, and seemingly require that the cannon not be complete.

I had a conversation with a Premil friend of mine about how he can be sure the millennium hasn’t already occurred. In a nutshell, he said that during the millennium Christ will be ruling and His words during that time will be recorded and His words will not pass away. Since we currently don’t...

I did read the whole post. Let’s look at Eve, prior to her deception. If we equate that condition to the millennium then there would have to be no knowledge of good and evil during the millennium. That simply can’t be since Jesus said “my words will never pass away” and His word contains...

Well, during the Premil Satan’s little season, a person who claims the millennium is still future would be deceived, correct? And during Satan’s little season a deceived person can claim the millennium is still future and those born in that future millennium will have to choose Jesus by faith...

You’re making an argument that defeats yourself. When a Premil is in Satan’s little season they will be Preterist at that time. Those who are being deceived by Satan during Satan’s little season will surely be using 2 Timothy 2:18 to claim the second coming hasn’t happened and they will be as...

I never said anyone claimed it, I’ve said “if it’s possible then”. You yourself allow it to be a possibility by the way you interpret the Bible. Here’s how you implied it’s possible. In post #21 you said this about the word mikros in Hebrew 10:37… “it's not a short period of time being spoken...

Right, but that’s the whole point I’m trying to make. In the Premil view, statements just like you’re making now will also be made to deceive people during Satan’s little season. Place yourself in Satan’s little season for a moment, what would your counter argument be to someone who said “The...

So asking you to give an explanation for how an individual can discern whether they are in Satan’s little season or not is a protest and shows subtle pride on my part? Ok, whatever, no pride was intended and at this point I’ve really lost all interest in trying to find out if there is a viable...

@Zao is life said this in post #26 … “When the time comes we will know how long Revelation 20:3's little while will be. The text does not tell us.” I asked this in post #84 … “Now, is there any way a Premil can distinguish if we are currently in Satan’s little season or not? “ If you...

How do you know no one believes that? I don’t personally think Satan’s little season is longer than a generation but when someone claims it can be a long period of time then we should examine all the ramifications of that idea and put it to rest if it creates a catch 22 type of paradox. I’m...

If it’s possible that Satan’s little season is now 1,000 years old then nobody who experienced the millennium would still be alive. That would also mean a Premil claiming Christ hasn’t reigned yet would be exactly the type of thing we would hear if we were in Satan’s little season.

Personally I don’t believe in any “thousand years” periods other than what is described in Revelation 20. Here’s what I’m still trying to figure out though. Currently there are multiple end time views and this is occurring while Premils have Satan deceiving and not being bound. During the...

I don’t know, in post #21 he said this … “Hebrews 10:37: For yet a little [mikros] while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Hebrews 10:37 is very telling because it's not a short period of time being spoken about, though it's using the same word.” He definitely thinks...

@Zao is life said this in post #26 … “When the time comes we will know how long Revelation 20:3's little while will be. The text does not tell us.” I took that statement to mean the little season in Revelation 20:3 could be thousands of years long if one finds themselves believing the...
