It should be understood as the coming of Christ shall be exactly as bright shining (lightning) that comes out of the east and shines even unto the west. It's not speaking of literal lightning, but the bright, shining countenance of the Lord. His brightness, like lightning shall not be visible...

What I presented comes by study of the Word of God through FAITH and power of the Holy Spirit in me. You, on the other hand you try proving your doctrine using an unbelieving Jewish historian without faith or the Holy Spirit that unbelievers shall not possess for your understanding of the...

'See', in reference to the Second Coming, as I've shown in post #92 has been translated from a Greek word which means with physical sight. That's not the same word used to define mentally seeing through eyes of faith of those who were "standing there". How will every eye physically see Christ...

I agree both Pentecost and Christ's transfiguration make good arguments. I believe another argument for which I hold is also valid and comes from how the Greek word translated 'see' is defined. εἴδω eídō, i'-do - be aware, behold, × can (+ not tell), consider, (have) know(-ledge), look...

Revelation 20:1-3 (KJV) And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut...

Being born again does NOT change or give life to our natural body of flesh and blood. To be born again is to give life to the spirit in man through the Spirit of Christ in us. The spirit in man became dead in trespasses and sins, in the same way our natural body did. Because the spirit...

Only those who have been born again shall be bodily resurrected immortal & incorruptible. Why must mankind be born again to see and enter the Kingdom of God? Christ has come, all that was written concerning Him is NOW fulfilled through Him. Believers have risen from the dead when they are...

To confuse the spiritual and physical resurrection forces confusion and contradiction into the Word of God! When our doctrines force confusion and contradiction we MUST rethink the doctrine we have been taught. Because the Word of God is not a book that cannot be trusted because it is filled...

Yes, John does indeed show two groups of people. Those who have lived and reigned with Christ before they were martyred for their faith, and the rest of the dead. John does NOT write those who have lived and reigned with Christ "are raised to reign with Christ a thousand years." John writes...

When speaking of the resurrection being equal to the angels, why do you assume Christ is NOT speaking of the "first resurrection"? That is the spiritual resurrection man partakes of through the Spirit of Christ in us when we are born again! That is resurrection from spiritual death to being...

If they have lived and reigned with Christ for one thousand years with immortal & incorruptible physical flesh and blood, why would they need to be resurrected first to live and reign with Christ? If they are already physically glorified, not mortal men, but immortal & incorruptible why does...

Where in these passages is it written there shall be two bodily resurrections separated by one thousand years? John writes only of the "first resurrection" (that is the resurrection of Christ) and the bodily resurrection of ALL who are physically dead in the graves bodily resurrected in the...

When are the martyred saints who lived and reigned with Christ for one thousand years martyred? If after living and reigning with Christ for one thousand years, wouldn't they have become immortal & incorruptible? If not, how could mortal, corruptible flesh & blood live for one thousand years...

Btw, in case you don't realize this truth; the words of Paul are the words that come from the Spirit of Christ in him.

Yes, many simply believe what they have been taught! I know this from experience! I too once believed what I was taught from well-meaning preachers and teachers. It wasn't until I became a faithful student of the Word of God myself, comparing Scripture with Scripture, and allowing the Bible...

Does the truth offend you? Lack of discernment comes when professing believers become fixated on Christ bringing the Kingdom of God physically to THIS earth! Many people can quote much Scripture without understanding the Kingdom of God is not now, nor shall it ever be a physical Kingdom upon...

Exactly, telling the first century disciples of Christ that they too shall have "great tribulation" like none other! Great tribulation is not limited to any single generation of saints but is a warning of what the church on earth should expect as the gospel is proclaimed unto all the earth...

You do not believe that God Himself through the Gospel and power of His Spirit is now judging the wicked and delivering His people into the spiritual Kingdom of God that Christ came to earth with? Are you still waiting to be delivered or through the Spirit of Christ in you, have you been...

Zechariah writes of "the day of the LORD cometh"! Zechariah did NOT write of the day the LORD would come AGAIN! All of the prophets wrote of and were awaiting the coming of the promised Messiah, i.e. "the day of the LORD" or His FIRST coming when all that is written of Him shall be fulfilled...

That's how we know that "all" is without distinction but NEVER without exception! All or whosoever has been ordained unto eternal life will be drawn to Christ for everlasting life through Him. The elect of God: Acts 13:48 (KJV) And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified...
