A Little Season

[David in NJ]

David, these continuing platitudes by you add nothing but frustration to these discussions. If this is all you have to add to these discussions, I suggest silence from you would be much better received!

Be careful = pride goes before the fall

God is not mocked, for what a man sows that shall he reap!

Whoever decides to mock God's words with false humility/religion will be greatly disappointed

JESUS: “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I AM who I AM."

 

[VictoryinJesus]

How does knowing that Satan must have permission from God to bring suffering to man apply to Satan's "little season" that shall be after the thousand years expires?

Well first the thousand years expires. Does God expire?

 

[rwb]

Well first the thousand years expires. Does God expire?

Yes, and AFTER the thousand years expires, Satan is given a "little season" of more time! Can you explain how knowing Satan must have permission from God to bring suffering to man apply to Satan's little season that is given to him AFTER the thousand years expires? I don't understand what you're trying to prove with these replies, can you clarify?

 

[Nancy]

I don't want to embarrass you,
but do you know when Jesus said "Behold I come quickly"?
Who He was speaking to?
You don't sound very well versed on this topic. But you have very strong opinions.

Hello Archie,
Is it not possible that Jesus came into His Kingdom at the transfiguration? Also, if history has been erased, how then do we have all these historical, and archeology/science pointing to the Historical Jesus? Should we shelve those? I used to ask myself, how do we know we are not in the days of Satan's "little season"? No one knows of there ever being peace. If those days were all lost, and everything was destroyed, how do we look at the rest of biblical history?
Thank you for any reply!

There is an angst. It confuses. It confuses me. Always, always…Being pulled toward our (men’s) framework, when what God offers is outside of it.

We ask how it fits the chart. How does it fit the timeline of a thousand years, when we guess what a thousand years means.
God speaks about how it steadies the heart.

What is the point? There’s more than one.

I am not trying to chart the thousand years. The point is about authority.

I also think if it doesn’t fit with our charts, then it has to be wrong if anyone shares anything other than our charts. Or timeline.

Another point is…
Does scripture define “bound” in a narrow way?
Much like”my hands are tied”
Paul was bound in chains(not only literally) , yet the Word was not bound.
(Imo) scripture shifts the focus away from how much freedom evil has, and toward God’s actively fulfilling much like when the disciples cried to Jesus “do you not care that we perish(expire)?” So the point is hoping we will stop and think about what we are claiming as truth.
Paul: I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also obtain salvation in Christ. Same as Revelation Rest yet for a season, u til your fellow servants should be fulfilled.

Which is the little season not about destroying men, but saving them by the destruction of the flesh so the spirit may be saved. The operation, the work of God.

Paul endures
As also “if need be” you also are in a little season of heaviness.
Time and time again: from Job, to Peter, even to you should not think it’s strange…when you are in the little season. There is hope actually in “I come quickly”
Revelation describes the “same work” in the little season, the operation of God in Christ. The removal of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. Same language I’m trying to share as necessary for what is the little season? Does it fit on mans timeline?

A sure fire tactic of unbelief/religion/satan is to obfuscate the Truth whereby "no one can know"

The fact of reality is God's Word has never been proven wrong, is Reliable and to be BELIEVED!!!

Dear @VictoryinJesus, God gave us His Chart = Genesis to Gospel to Revelation

Please dwell God's Chart given in Genesis chapters 1 thru 8 , Jeremiah 31:35-37 , Daniel 12:1-3 , John 6:35-40 , Matt 23:37-39 , Zechariah 14:1-4 , 1st & 2nd Thessalonians , 1 Corinthians chapter 15 , Revelation chapter 1 and 6:9-17 and more

God's TRUTH is consistent from Genesis to the Gospel to Revelation = Hebrews 13:8

God's TRUTH is consistent from Genesis to the Gospel to Revelation = Hebrews 13:8

I’m not sure why the beginning is talking about unbelief being “no one can know.”
I don’t believe no one can know the heart of God, but I also believe God has revealed it through His Spirit—even the depths of God.

That is all I was trying to share. How Good He is. The point again was to shift the focus from evil to share what it’s says to me about God’s goodness. (For application in Hope). I’m not pushing anyone to agree.

 

[Davy]

Thanks Davy...this is too much for my pea brain to decipher . I've so much more even, to understand in Eschatology. There are too many views on this subject and, they are tossing such confusion around, it is hard to determine which one to believe anymore. But I do thank you for your reply.

It will come by staying with the actual written Scripture, and asking God's help. I'm just making friends and influencing folks.

I’ve considered deeply what you shared. Especially considering “God gave us His chart”. I had to really think about this. Because I don’t open the Bible and see a chart. i see revelation, promises, patterns and a Person. Don’t get me wrong I think charts are helpful, but men (us) use them for study. If we claim God gives or gave us the chart …yet all the charts vary from what a person believes of when the thousand years takes place, is it rapture before or after…when men (us) make charts that doesn’t necessarily mean they are God given… because then they would not be debatable among those who believe different layouts of charting. Those are my questions …why do charts vary between different timetable briefs?

Yes I see: narratives, covenants, poetry, prophecy, letters, parables, lived encounters with God. And our charts to try to understand these things.

God gave Israel His Chart whereby they would know who their Messiah is = they scoffed

God has given us His Chart = Genesis - Prophets - Gospel - Apostles - Revelation = yet many 'christians' scoff like Israel did

The problem is SIN, sin in 'christians' called "respect of persons" = very BAD = and yet they love it

“An astonishing and horrible thing
Has been committed in the land:
The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule by their own power;
And My people love to have it so.
But what will you do in the end?
Jeremiah 5:31

Did God give Israel the Revelation or the chart?
I still believe the little season is not the operation of evil, but the operation of God—working faith, endurance, and salvation … not a chart but living Hope, Christ formed in you which can’t possibly be a mere chart but alive. Charts try to contain what scripture describes as living, speaking, rejoicing, running its course. Just my opinion. I get you are solid on what you believe. I’m just missing why it’s so critical it’s charts given…

I’m considering do charts puff up? When it becomes our certainty I think so. Again, just my opinion.

GOD first gives His WORD
The WORD that was GOD in the Beginning gives us His Chart and it all begins with GENESIS

The CHART details are given by the HOLY SPIRIT = our Guide into all Truth

I still believe the little season is not the operation of evil, but the operation of God

Me too!!!

The LIE is that we are in satan's little season now/today

This lie sprung up because man refused to obey and believe God's words = His Chart

I’m considering do charts puff up? When it becomes our certainty I think so.

You have misunderstood me!
God's words from Genesis to Gospel to Revelation is His Chart

i agree with you when men make picture charts to prove pre-trib rapture and 'satan's little season' = puffed up

I think I do understand you better. Thank you.

This isn’t directly at you but maybe someone else will gain something from it. Can I be honest and not dance around what I want to say? Can I just say it. I haven’t been on the board for a while. But I happened to look and saw “The Little season” thread and thought …oh I wish I could share how I see it. Maybe it would help someone. Of course I didn’t stop to consider I was entering debates on eschatology. Yes, laid out charts. Certain. To me there is a clear common theme of God gives them over to satan, even giving them over so they may learn not to blasphemy His name. Even Paul spoke of putting that which is evil without for the destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved. Just like in Job, with Peter … the word speaks of need be you enter a season of heaviness and tempted. I tired to show the verses regarding the little season is for this very purpose of until your fellow brethren put off the flesh through the destruction of it, just as you —rest. Paul spoke of resting in Christ while Christ be formed in them. Their being made complete a work of God. If we miss this for charts and timelines —that is sad. It’s needful to me because all of it points to not evil but how God does it not to destroy but to save. I can’t unsee that. And honestly—what do you do with that? Hide it or share it? But charts and timelines get in the way because who wants to hear “the little season” might be the operation of God for the removal of flesh by the circumcision of Christ?

You stirred my curiosity here - thank you

i understand how you see God using ways and methods to crucify our flesh that CHRIST may have the Preemminence in our lives.

So are you saying satan's little season is now = now upon us???

I can’t say for sure. Only for us to remember He is good. To let patience have its perfect work. That is the main part in my focal point …not to prove when a little season is but instead everything the Spirit helps you or I come to see is at the end He is good. I do believe you already see this.

Here is the gifting of the Holy Spirit upon me = i never earned it = it was Given from Above as for all of us

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

You can know for sure = trust our Heavenly FATHER's words = Matt 4:4

The Resurrection of the saints cannot take place until all that the FATHER gives to CHRIST has been Completed.

Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered, = 1 Thess 1:10

John 6:35-40
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.

1 Corinthians 15:20-23
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Revelation 6:9-11
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

GOD never lies

I’m studying this morning. Trying to work on a devotional. One that I love is “made to be taken and destroyed” we say that is people …but what if “what is made to be taken and destroyed”
is the old man, the old ways which Jesus Christ took to the cross to put off. You may ask why that matters but what names are written in the Lambs book of Life? not the old man but the new which IS Mercy.



What if the design of God is none which was first remains. That is in us all. It brings depth to “meant to be taken and destroyed” “take up your cross and follow Me.” For that which was first was meant to be taken and destroyed, for that which is Last remains. That which is Last in the Lambs book of Life?
The first man, the old nature, the flesh was always designed to fail, not because God delights in loss, but because it was never the final work.

Failure is not favoritism.
Destruction is not cruelty.
It is preparing for the new creation.

Love
Judgment is God saying: “This will not carry forward”
Nahum 1:9 What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Point is…just like “the little season”
And also “made to be taken and destroyed”
I’ve heard for a long time what men say they mean. Now I see “made to be taken and destroyed” as what Jesus Christ bore on the cross. For example: David what was meant to be taken and destroyed is what you were before being crucified with Christ. not what men have told me it means as favoritism. Men(I mean us) always try to spin verses to shine ourselves and to judge and criticize others. How many times do we look through the leans of making God the villain? Just thinking out loud.

I’ve heard about the “Little Season” eschatology over the past few years from someone close to me, and I’ve been trying to understand it carefully and charitably. One aspect I still find myself struggling with has to do with how terms of imminence are being understood—words like “soon,” “at hand,” “quickly,” “near,” and “little” in passages such as those listed at the top of this page:....

It's stupid.

It's just doctrines of men created by men who don't have eyes to see, and ears to hear in God's written Word taking a short phrase like "a little season" or a "short time" from The Bible and building a whole Babel tower upon it that leads to nowhere.

Rev 6:11
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
KJV

Rev 12:12
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV

The above verses are about the coming "great tribulation" timing.

But the below verse is about a short period AFTER... Christ's future "thousand years" reign.

Rev 20:3
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
KJV

 

[David in NJ]

I’ve heard about the “Little Season” eschatology over the past few years from someone close to me, and I’ve been trying to understand it carefully and charitably. One aspect I still find myself struggling with has to do with how terms of imminence are being understood—words like “soon,” “at hand,” “quickly,” “near,” and “little” in passages such as those listed at the top of this page:
https://www.matthewsbible.com/littleseason.

As I understand the position, there seems to be an assumption that these words must be taken as indicating nearness in ordinary human terms. Of course, that standard is somewhat subjective, but it also seems to have reasonable boundaries. If I said, “I’m going to return soon,” most people would naturally think I meant within days, weeks, or perhaps months—and maybe even within a year. If I returned ten years later, many would feel that I had not spoken plainly or had failed to keep my word.

What I find difficult is how this standard appears to shift when applied historically within the Little Season framework. For example, the claim that Christ returned in 70 AD places that return roughly forty years after the ascension. Even granting a generous human understanding of “soon” or “near,” that still feels like a stretch when taken in a straightforward sense.

A similar question arises with the phrase “little season.” I’ve seen it argued that, in contrast to the thousand years of Revelation 20, a “little season” could reasonably extend to something like 250 years (analogous to a “season” being a quarter of a year). I’m trying to understand this, but it feels like a very elastic use of language. If I told someone I would be gone for “a little while,” or that I would be in town for “a little season,” and that period turned out to be 250 years, most people would understandably feel misled.

This becomes more challenging when looking at how the Little Season is dated by many proponents. From what I can tell, it is often placed around 1776 or sometime in the 1800s, sometimes tied to social developments like the rise of orphanages or insane asylums in that era. If dated from 1776, we are now at roughly the 250-year mark, and if dated later in the 1800s, we are still approaching that range. Either way, the timescale being proposed presses up against what most people would ordinarily understand by the phrase “a little season.”

I don’t raise this to dismiss the view, but because I’m genuinely trying to understand how these time-related terms are meant to function consistently within the system. If there’s a way to think about this that preserves both the language of imminence and the proposed historical timelines, I’d be interested in hearing how others approach it.

Great points of emphasis.

Yet you are missing out on the MOST IMPORTANT Emphasis, which is we are Commanded to never add or take away from God's words.

All false doctrines, such as "we are now in satan's little season" came about from men who do not obey God's Word.

Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. - Proverbs 30:5-6

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” - Matt 4:4

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 22:18-19
