    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    Revelation 20:4 (KJV) ...... and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4 (YLT) ..... and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years; Revelation 20:4 (WEB) ..... They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. Revelation 20:4 (DBY) .....and...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Your explanation doesn't take in to account all the prophets tell us shall come to pass when the Day of the Lord comes. Why for instance would it be necessary for man to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved since when Christ comes again the Kingdom of God complete already? Neither will...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    One thing that makes it seem the mark will not be physical comes from Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The same inability to buy or sell comes also to those who have the name of the beast, or the number...

    When will the Day of the Lord, you say is coming end?

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    Do you really read what others write, or do you just ignore what is said and hoist falsehood on what others have said? I've never said the first resurrection is the second birth. I've repeatedly said the first resurrection is the resurrection of Christ that mankind must have part in to...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    There are some things in the prophesy regarding the Day of the Lord coming that will not fit into the new creation, eternal Kingdom. The only way to find consistency with the words of the prophets is to understand the Day of the Lord they wrote of has not only a beginning Day in these last days...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    The Almighty Creator, The God of the Universe has no need to vindicate Himself! What you imagine God needs vindication of came by His Providence. Nothing happens outside the Providence of God. The Lord needs no vindication for all that He ordains shall come to pass. It shows a terrible...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Only in your imagination! I understand how difficult it would be for you to admit you are in error. Luke quoting Peter's words gives us two witnesses to the truth Peter spoke at Pentecost. Peter clearly states and Luke confirms by writing down: Acts 2:16-17 (KJV) But this is that which was...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    But mankind did die that very day as God said they would, because they no longer had the ability to spiritually commune with God after they disobeyed Him. The deception from the serpent was not that they would not die. The deception was not telling them how they would die that very day. The...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Yes, I agree we are awaiting the last day which the New Testament Scriptures tells us is the Day of the Lord. And I also agree there will not be another ONE thousand years upon this earth because this earth will be utterly burned up by the fire that comes down from God, preparing the way for...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    The AOD is both past, present and future. And yes, I agree the AOD will continue to plague the Church on earth as long as the Church remains on the earth, which will be the consummation or end of all these things on earth.

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Of course Pentecost was the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy from Joel. Because the time frame covers the Gospel age where men/women would call on the name of the Lord to be saved. That was not fulfilled at Pentecost but is being fulfilled as the Gospel is being proclaimed unto all...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    This appears to me to be your view, but it is not biblical. Where can we find verses that speak of God's need to vindicate Himself? The land that God gives to His people has greatly expanded from His original promise of physical land. The promised land the people of God receive through Christ...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    No I am not reading into the words written by Luke. At least it is commonly acknowledged that Luke is the author of the book of Acts. I agree that Luke does not say the prophecy is entirely fulfilled. That's obvious because the fulfillment will not be complete until all who call upon the name...

    Total agreement! Well said!

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Yes the Day of the Lord did come when the promised Messiah came to earth a man. The Day of the Lord did not come with power from above until the Spirit was poured out at Pentecost. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that the Church on earth finds great success in proclaiming the Gospel...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    I agree! IMHO the different opinions exist because Christians read the Old Testament prophets as though their prophesy only begins when Christ comes again on the final Day of the Lord, when Christ will usher in this imagined ONE thousand more literal years of time on this earth. To miss...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    The Day of the Lord that is coming when the seventh trumpet begins to sound is the last day of this Church and Gospel age. The seventh trumpet does not usher in more time on this earth that premillennialists imagine will last ONE thousand years. The sounding of the seventh trumpet is when time...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Each individual believer makes up the Church on earth, who are called to endure to the point of physical death or until Christ comes again on the last day.

    My reply was to this statement where you seem to believe we might know who and who is not a believer!
