    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Satan was "loosed" many years ago, when he was thrown down from heaven to earth (Ezekiel 28:17). Currently he roams the earth, "seeking whom he may devour" (1Peter 5:8). There are lots of unfallen angels on earth guarding believers also (Matthew 19:14)

    Why Will "all nations" attack Israel?

    Battle of "Har Megiddo" (at the plain of Megiddo) is noted in Revelation 16:16. Bible says "Armageddon" because the Greek alphabet has no H.

    "After millennium" was my comment, your comments were in quote marks < >. "Dissolved by fire" is after the millennium (Revelation 21:1).

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    IMO: o. Ezekiel 28:1-11 laments the prince of Tyre, who considered himself a "god." o. Ezekiel 28:11-19 laments his advocate, the cherub Satan, who in past time had been in Eden (Genesis 3:1/Revelation 20:2, Isaiah 14:22 ).

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    o Satan is a cherub, not the same thing as an angel. See Ezekiel 28:11-19. o The hosts of heaven witnessed the creation of our universe (Job 38:7). o Satan will abide in hell 1000 years (Revelation 20:1-3). o Our universe will then be discarded and replaced (Revelation 21:4).

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    IMO: o. The rapture occurs at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation. o. The final 3 1/2 years are the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). o. Millennium = 1000-year reign. o. 1000 years is noted SIX TIMES (Revelation 20: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7).

    "shown me" not "showed me" Participle is used when "have" is attached to verb.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    How about this: o. "I bring good and I bring disaster" (Isaiah 45:7) o. "For who resists his will" (Romans 9:19) God created this whole universe. The idea that our decisions are strictly our own IMO does not jive with that.
