"Before Jesus returns, He said there will be a unique time of “great tribulation” unlike anything before or after (Matthew 24:21–22; Mark 13:19–20). He pointed us to “the abomination of desolation” spoken by Daniel as a key sign (Matthew 24:15; cf. Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)." When Christ spoke...

Is it your belief that when Christ comes again, He will usher in a period of one thousand years of peace on THIS earth? I ask because in your chronology you quote Matthew: "He also said there would be good seed and weeds together until the harvest at “the end of the age,” when angels separate...

In verse one the prophet gives reference to the time/age/day he speaks of, calling it a day the LORD is coming! All of the prophets of Old speak of the same period of time when the promised Messiah would come, calling it the day of the LORD. So, all that is written of Old regarding this "Day...

If there are clear biblical Scriptures that prove what you allege, post them! Prove from the Word of God what you allege! The prophets spoke of the coming of the LORD in a day (age/time) when all that is written of Him is fulfilled. They make no mention of the Lord Jesus Christ returning to...

The Father does the drawing. To draw is equivalent to taking for oneself, choosing, dragging. All who are drawn to Christ by the Father, are the ones who are saved by grace through faith and will be raised to eternal life at the last day. No man will believe and receive Christ apart from God...

If the cross of Christ draws all of humanity without exception, why isn't all of humanity without exception eternally saved? All is NOT without exception, but ALL without distinction! No longer would Christ the Messiah foretold of Old to come be limited to Jews only. Since the advent of...

The problem for some (not you) is they read "all" as if Christ means all without exception! But we know that cannot be true because if it is then every human would be drawn to Christ and salvation would be universal. When one realizes the Bible NEVER says that ALL of mankind shall be called...

You believe this shall be in the future when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom on THIS earth for one thousand years! Of course, that makes ZERO sense because clearly these martyrs of the faith lived, reigned and died with Christ before they were martyred during this time John writes "a...

Spiritually, yes, the mount has spiritually split! Divided between those who look to a physical mountain and those who understand Mt. Zion of God where the spirits of just man are made perfect. Don't be like the Pharisee's of Old who cling to a physical mount olive (Jerusalem of Old) missing...

They were martyred for their faithfulness unto death! That means in life, before they were martyred (beheaded) for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, and did not receive the mark of the beast upon their foreheads or in their hands is...

Those who view the Scriptures through physical sight cannot understand that which is already SPIRITUALLY fulfilled/being fulfilled since the first advent of Christ, lacking spiritual understanding of the spiritual Kingdom of God. The passage from Zechariah is both being fulfilled and has been...

Zechariah's prophesy was fulfilled when Christ walked THIS earth a man!

How does quoting Rev 1:7 prove that Christ physically returns to THIS earth to establish the Kingdom of God HERE for one thousand years? When Christ returns with the clouds and every eye shall see Him it won't be to set up an earthly kingdom! Because when He returns this earth and everything...

Where in these chapters or any other does Scripture ever say Christ returns physically to THIS earth? Also where do you read there are still unsaved believing mortal men/women to be saved after the seventh/last trumpet begins to sound the second coming of Christ in the air? Yours is the...

No, but I am quoting the words of John, who says he saw martyred saints who lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years! That tells us these martyred saints, before dying, lived and reigned with Christ during this period John writes "a thousand years". The passage does NOT say these...

As you point out there are those called blessed and holy that shall reign with Christ a thousand years. If they shall reign with Christ for a thousand years after Christ comes again, what about the martyred saints who have lived and reigned with Christ already before dying for a thousand years...

Who will reign with Christ for one thousand years? What unfulfilled promises for ethnic Israel that is not inclusive for people of all nations?

If the Kingdom of God in the world to come signifies a millennial reign of/with Christ, it would not be "life everlasting." Because a thousand years has both a beginning and ending and is not the eternal/everlasting/unending life promised to whosoever believes Christ.

The answer is found when we understand that John the Baptist was not Elijah who was to physically come again, but was the SPIRIT of Elijah (Elias). Luke 1:13-17 (KJV) But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and...
