Who is left and desires to repent who is not already saved when Satan has been loosed before Christ comes again? There are none in between, there are nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, then there is the camp of the saints and the beloved city. The lines are already drawn...

You could very well be correct. However, I believe since Satan was bound so the Kingdom of God could be built as Gentiles come in through the Gospel, I don't believe he will be set free until the Kingdom of God is complete. Why would God set him free to deceive as he had before his binding if...

I would say the person living 70 years if he died belonging to Christ, has lived and reigned with Christ during this time likened a thousand years. It really doesn't matter if one has lived and reigned with Christ for only one day during their life, then died, they too have lived and reigned...

Its time equated to a thousand years because the saints live and die throughout this time, thus far almost two thousand years. When the last saint is saved in life, they have entered this time equated a thousand years. A thousand years could not begin to be counted until the advent of Christ...

It may seem reasonable to me, but I cannot prove it from the Bible. I've said it seems more reasonable to understand little season as a short or small amount of time. I have a differing opinion regarding Rev 6 little season. I believe a biblical argument can be made that the souls being...

No Paul, I don't believe I am. What I am doing is using verses found in other passages of Scripture to understand what John means when he writes the mystery of God should be finished in the days when the seventh angel begins to sound. IOW using Scripture to be its own interpreter.

It is time symbolized a thousand years because it is the lifetimes of all the saints, which is not all time but specifically counted as time we live and reign with Christ in life on earth. Yes after death just as proven in the Bible (see Ecc 12:7) when the body dies the spirit returns to God...

I truly cannot give an answer for what I do not know! As I've already said, I believe Satan's little season will be short because it is defined as least, less, little, small, a space of time, an individual opportunity; by implication, delay:—+ years old, season, space, (× often-)time(-s), (a)...

In the days when the seventh angel begins to sound, after Satan has a little season.

How can it symbolize all time? Saints don't live and reign with Christ for all time, but only during their lives on earth. It is time that began with the first advent of Christ, and concludes when the Kingdom of God is complete, or as John writes the mystery of God that should be finished...

I don't know how long Satan is given a little season. I can only surmise through the Concordance that it's a very small amount of time. And surely you do not doubt that the earth during this time shall experience great climatic events as Satan, using Gog & Magog attempt to keep the Kingdom of...

I don't mean to imply the angel sounds for multiple days, but that multiple days are involved with the sounding, just as we find with every other sounding of the first six trumpets. This multiple days usher in the last day when Christ returns and all His enemies destroyed. The reason I...

No problem Paul, and thank you. I also have a great deal of respect for your knowledge of Scripture.

Why do you argue I'm ignoring that? Yes the seventh trumpet does usher in Satan's "little season", as well as Christ's climatic appearing. Again, what is the mystery of God that is finished when this time shall be no longer? Your first sentence is what I've consistently stated. The climax...

I'm glad to hear you aren't upset, neither am I. I'm not promoting unbiblical doctrine. I'm not arguing anything that Amil Christians have not agreed is truth since the advent of Christ. The only real disagreement in this discussion that I can tell, is saying the Kingdom of God is complete in...

I really don't see any differences that would affect doctrine within these versions and the KJV. They all say in the days the seventh angel sounds. Saying this begins days before the actual sounding does not change the fact that the mystery of God as He announced to His servants the prophets...

That could well be? During Satan's little season the lines in the sand will be drawn. One shall either be for Christ or for Satan when Christ appears the second time.

I know this and have said as much. But why not address what the passage does say? What is the "mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." Do you deny this is connected to "there should be time no longer:"? If the time spoken of here is time...

Maybe I'm a little slow or perhaps dense? But I've yet to read a biblical refutation of what I have said.

Yes, of course I agree. If we have lived and reigned or shall live and reign with Christ in time, then we have everlasting life through Him. Yes, that's because "a thousand years" symbolizes time (not all time) given the Chruch on earth for building the spiritual Kingdom of God as they take...
