A lot of Bible students read Matthew 24 in isolation to its parallel accounts in the other gospels and therefore miss out on a lot of light in regard to what Jesus was actually talking about. It it’s fair to say that Matthew compresses together the two separate events in focus (AD 70 and the...

So, at what stage do you guys present actual Scripture to support your claims?

Yes, the same battle described at the end of Rev 20. These are parallel passages, they reveal recaps.

Multiple passages like this reveal to the reader who the real literalists and the spiritualists are.

Exactly bro!

You have no answer to the Op, so you transpire to derail and throw ad hominem. This is why Premil is crumbling everywhere one looks. They have no answer to the truth today.

It is my aim to engage in the issues. I see that with most Amils on this board. Premils here seem to love wallowing in the muck.

I have never said that ancient Chiliasm borrowed its teaching from the ancient Premil heretics. It was mainly influenced by early apostate Judaism. It is modern Premillennialism that finds its beliefs rooted in the ancient Premil heretics. Orthodox Premil only arose around AD 240.

Why are Premils so mean on this board, and obsessed with victimhood and ad hominem? Can they simply not keep to the issues? Obviously, it is because they have no answer to the truth. Basically, if you cannot attack the message, attack the messenger. It must be the outworking of frustration...

Op Note There is so much haze, ignorance, confusion and misinformation that surrounds the beliefs of the Patristic writers that it is necessary to take a diligent, objective and detailed look into their teaching. With the onset of the internet we have been swamped by a multitude of partisan...

Interestingly, the only place outside of Revelation 20 that the term a thousand years is mentioned in the New Testament is in 2 Peter 3. There, it is significantly used in an entirely figurative sense. In this chapter, Peter is specifically addressing the cynics who live in the last days that...

That is not true. The figure a “thousand years” is employed ten times in Scripture – twice in the Old Testament and eight times in the New Testament. Significantly, of the eight mentions in the New, six are found in the same book of the Bible – Revelation. And of even greater note, all are...

Sounds good!

I agree. One hour represents a short period of time and a thousand years represents a long period of time. They are figurative terms in a symbolic book that are easy to understand when one sees the spiritual import.

But God has given us much Scripture written in allegorical, metaphorical, visionary, parabolic and abstract detail.

Brother, I have no desire to offend you, frustrate you or stir you up. That is your choice. It was my aim to engage with posters that were interested in this subject and who would objectively critique my work. I have been studying and writing on this matter since 2008. The finding i have...

Address the different issues above, which you have sidestepped, if you are sincere about that, and stop your ad hominem. What has unity to do with this? Discussion Forums are marked by disagreement. You are one of the most divisive people here. You just cannot handle your avoidance being called...

No. You are here for yourself.

Then stop "ducking things" and stop the "bitterness." That is all you have, and you know it. Your toxic behavior is there for all to see. There is no hiding it. Why not go somewhere else where you are welcome and let those who have something of profit to bring to this discussion talk without the...

Your problem is, you think too highly of yourself. This is brazen coming from one who has dedicated themselves to insults and character assassination. It's time to look in the mirror. You're so thin-skinned! Again, you refuse to deal with the issues. That is because you have no response.
