Exactly bro. If they cannot attack the message they attack the messenger. That is their pattern on these boards. There is no answer to the truth. They either embrace what Scripture says states or they reject it. There's no in-between.

Yes. If you are not prepared to accept this biblical instruction.

Premil force a lot into Revelation 20 that does not exist there. It is pure speculation. Anyway, Israel took their ancient borders that God promised in Joshua.

The Old Testament prophets often described events pertaining to the 1st and 2nd advents in the same vision because they were looking ahead in time through a narrow telescope. They saw 2 mountains in the distance relating to the 2 advents but didn’t necessarily see the space in-between and the...

The only sensible and safe way to navigate through the book of Revelation is by using other clear Scripture to assist us dissect it. Without this we could easily get entangled in all the symbolism and make Revelation say whatever we want it to say. The Reformers introduced a very solid...

Where is your Scripture?

The teaching of the Church for most of its history has rejected the idea that there is any theologically distinction between Jews and Gentiles in Christ during the new covenant era. They believe there has only ever been one spiritual people from the start. These believers do not claim to hold to...

The Church itself was not a mystery (or secret) prior to Paul, neither was God's great eternal plan of redemption, neither was the ingathering of the Gentiles. Passage after passage in the Old Testament predicted these events. What was a mystery was the Gentiles being “fellowheirs, and of the...

This apocalyptic book must be viewed in one of two main general overriding ways – literal or figurative. One’s ultimate stance on this important issue will drastically influence one’s eventual view of every aspect of revealed truth in this book. Notwithstanding, the literalist are faced with...

No. It is both. I take figurative language figuratively. I take literal language literally.

You have a habit of sidestepping any responses, questions or rebuttals.

You are literalizing what is figurative and spiritualized what is figurative. You do not seem to take context into consideration in your theology. God and Magog represent the wicked. Babylon is used similar in Revelation. Jerusalem also (as Egypt and Sodom). We are looking at apocalyptic genre.

The book of Revelation consists of a number of parallel recaps relating to the intra-Advent period. Each of these refer to different subjects, entities or aspects of God's unfolding plan during that time. That does not negate the fact that God's dealings with the beast mirrors that of Satan...

Amillennialists consider the "one hour" as representing a small duration of time and the "thousand years" as representing a long duration of time. This fits in with the whole genre of the book of Revelation.

Dispensationalists typically present the New Testament Church as a brand new spiritual innovation, which had no existence prior to Pentecost. They teach that the Church itself is “the mystery” and that it is a completely separate entity to God’s people in the Old Testament. They say that because...

Where is a "millennial kingdom" mentioned here? You have to add into unto the biblical texts. Let us have a literal word-by-word look at the Hebrew pertaining to Isaiah 65:20. לֹא־יִֽהְיֶ֨ה מִשָּׁ֜ם עֹ֗וד ע֤וּל יָמִים֙ וְזָקֵ֔ן אֲשֶׁ֥ר Lo'- yihªyeh mishaam `owd `uwl yaamiym wªzaaqeen 'ªsher...

You didn't answer my question.

Who are Gog and Magog that rise up to rebel as the sand of the sea on your supposed new earth?

Can you explain what you mean here? I'm not sure where you are coming from.

What Scripture, if any, do you consider definitely corroborates the Premillennial interpretation of Revelation 20 that there are two distinct physical resurrection days (the first for the righteous, the second for the wicked) separated by a literal 1000 years+? Where in Scripture does it...
