HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

[Jay Ross]

No, your made up timeline is not my problem at all.

So, what you are saying is that you have not seen or read what I have posted in the scriptures. That is a "your problem" and not a "my problem".

I did provide the basis as to how I arrived at my conclusion as to the approximate year in which the final judgement will take place.

Oh well, your lack of expertise is showing then.

You need to ask yourself how the second death has no power over those who are alive and remain until the second coming of Christ. I believe Revelation 20:6 indicates that one must have part in the first resurrection in order for the second death to not have power over them.

Tell me, does the second death have power over you right now? Does the second death have power over the dead in Christ right now?

In my view the 2nd death is not even relevant until there is a resurrection of the dead first, and that the LOF is in view. In the meantime since NOSAS is indeed Biblical, some that are initially saved can fall away, which means they are cast into the LOF in the end, the 2nd death. That means the 2nd death death has power over them. Revelation 20:6 indicates that the 2nd death has no power, as in zero, over anyone that has part in the first resurrection. John said these are blessed and holy. No one cast into the LOF is blessed and holy. Nowhere in Revelation 20:6 does John say nor imply that some of them are not blessed, that some of them are unholy. My position is NOSAS and does not contradict Revelation 20:6. The reason why it doesn't contradict it, those that fall away never have part in the first resurrection to begin with because they fell away instead, meaning they fell away before the first resurrection is ever fulfilled at the end of this age during the 2nd coming.

Does this mean you are basically Postmil??

That might be one label that you might want to apply to what I post.

Isaiah 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.


Verse 21 is meaning Revelation 19:19-21. Verse 22---and shall be shut up in the prison--is meaning the thousand years recorded in Revelation 20. and after many days shall they be visited--is meaning Satan's little season in Revelation 20.

Let's say, for example, that Revelation 19:19-21 is fulfilled in 2064. A thousand years later would then be 3064, thus the end of the 7th age. Keeping in mind, still per my view which might not be your view, Revelation 19:19-21 cannot be fulfilled unless Christ has bodily returned first. Which would then mean per my view, Christ is bodily present on the earth the entire thousand years, thus Premil.

I hold to a very different understanding as to when Isaiah 24:21-22 will take place. In Ezechiel 34: 25-30 God makes this promise to the Israelites after He has gathered them to Himself.

Ezekiel 34:25-30: - 25 "I will make a covenant of peace with them and cause evil beasts to cease from the earth; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27 Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe within my fertile field; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28 And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. 29 I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger on the earth, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. 30 Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people," says the Lord God.'"​

Notice that God intends to remove the beasts, i.e. Daniel 7:1-12, and the kings of the earth who have been the Little Horns armies to trample God's Sanctuary and His earthly Hosts Daniel 8:9-14, shortly after Israel Repents of their continual idolatrous worship and He has gathered them to Himself. This will not happen until the fulness with respect to the time of the Gentiles has been completed i.e. after the 2,300 years have been completed, Romans 11:25b-26, after which all of Isreal is save because they have repented of their sins.

We will see Isaiah 24:21-22 being fulfilled at Armageddon with the completion of the Sixth Bowl Judgement around the year 2044 AD. Remember that we have already seen the Three Frog like spirits preforming signs and wonders in the 9/11 when they attacked the three pillars of our society which we worshipped at that time. At this present time we are seeing the preparation of the kings of the earth to be drawn to assemble at Armageddon for one last tilt at trampling God's earthly Hosts in the Land of Canaan.

As an aside, the seventh Bowl Judgement events unfolded during the twentieth century, when the witness events all took place as prescribed in the Seventh Bowl prophecy itself.

Now the fulfilment of the Isaiah 24:21-22 prophecy has all of the judged kings of the earth and the judged heavenly host being gathered together on the face of the earth so that they can be imprisoned in the Bottomless pit for many days to await the time f their punishment.

What is recorded in Rev 19:19-21 is Jesus capturing the Beast and the Little Horn/False Prophet and casting them into the Lake of Fire. Then in Rev 20 Christ then captures Satan and also casts him into the Lake of Fire. Since this is what will take place, then the capture and casting of Satan, the Beast and the False prophet into the Lake of fire can only be post millennium.

Both rev 19 and 20 are records of two parallel storylines that unfold at the same time.

FYI a season and a little while period when their time spans are added together equals an age in duration.

Also know that Rev 20 provides no indication that Christ will rule on the face of the earth during the 1,000 years when He is ruling as our High priest.

Shalom​

Isaiah 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.


Undeniably verse 21 is meaning Revelation 19:19-21. That is not even debatable.

Isaiah 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Undeniably verse 19 is meaning 2 Peter 3:10-12. That is not even debatable. Right? I guess if you can act like your opinions are facts, so can I.

So, do you interpret verses 21 and 22 in light of what is written in verses 19 and 20? If you insist on taking verses 21 and 22 literally, then you should be consistent and take verses 19 and 20 literally as well. And, taken literally, those verses don't allow for any mortals to survive the earth with it being "utterly broken down" and "clean dissolved". So, how exactly are you interpreting verses 21 and 22? What similarities are you seeing in Revelation 19:19-21? I don't see any mention in Revelation 19:19-21 of anyone being "gathered in the pit" and "shut up in the prison".

Which then means something has to explain verse 22 post that of the fulfilling of verse 21, where verse 21 is also meaning Revelation 19:19:21. Premil can explain verse 22, Amil can't.

How does Premil explain verses 19 and 20? Amil can.

Per Amil once Christ has bodily returned there is no such thing post Christ's return that involves many days. Yet verse 22, after verse 21 is fulfilled, involves being shut up in the prison, and then after many days they shall be visited. Everyone should at least know what to be visited typically means in the Bible per some contexts. It usually has to do with God's wrath and His judgment on the ones being visited. But let's just ignore any and all of that. After all, and I'm being sarcastic here, Amil is the correct position, period. Amil doesn't need to explain Isaiah 24:22 since Amil is the correct position, period. Imagine that of all things. The view that can't explain something, it is the correct view, rather than the view that can explain something, it is the correct view.

How exactly are you interpreting verses 21 and 22? All this hot air and you didn't even bother explaining how you interpret the passage. That's typical of you.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

In my view the 2nd death is not even relevant until there is a resurrection of the dead first, and that the LOF is in view.

LOL. Of course you would see it that way because of your extreme doctrinal bias. You don't think anyone can say right now whether or not they will experience the second death? Do you think the dead in Christ do not yet know if they will experience the second death or not? Does the second death have any power over them? It's typical of you to just dismiss the many arguments that refute your view instead of addressing them.

In the meantime since NOSAS is indeed Biblical, some that are initially saved can fall away, which means they are cast into the LOF in the end, the 2nd death. That means the 2nd death death has power over them.

Does the second death have power over any of those who kept their faith until the end of their lives? It doesn't, right? So, how is it that the second death has no power over them? Clearly they do not need to wait until they are bodily resurrected in order for that to be the case.

Do you believe they spiritually had part in Christ's resurrection? Do you not care that other scripture teaches that Christ's resurrection is the first resurrection? You don't think that's worth taking into consideration for some reason?

Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

Revelation 20:6 indicates that the 2nd death has no power, as in zero, over anyone that has part in the first resurrection.

Exactly. So, if that was talking about the mass bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ when He returns, then tell me how those who are alive and remain will avoid the second death.

John said these are blessed and holy.

Are only those who are bodily resurrected when Christ returns blessed and holy, but not those who are alive and remain?

No one cast into the LOF is blessed and holy.

LOL. Who said otherwise?

Nowhere in Revelation 20:6 does John say nor imply that some of them are not blessed, that some of them are unholy.

Who said otherwise? Not me. Why do you make so many strawman arguments? Do you just enjoy wasting your time?

My position is NOSAS and does not contradict Revelation 20:6.

NOSAS has nothing to do with it. Amill does not contradict Revelation 20:6, but Premill does. Premill ignores the fact that Jesus has been reigning since His resurrection (Matt 28:18, Ephesians 1:19-22, Rev 1:5-6) and that His followers are "a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9) and Jesus "made us kings and priests unto God and his Father" long ago (Revelation 1:5-6). Scripture speaks of the things described in Revelation 20:6 as a current reality, but Premill contradicts that.

The reason why it doesn't contradict it, those that fall away never have part in the first resurrection to begin with because they fell away instead, meaning they fell away before the first resurrection is ever fulfilled at the end of this age during the 2nd coming.

That's based on your faulty assumption that the first resurrection refers to the bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ. But, in giving the order of bodily resurrections in 1 Corinthians 15:22-23, Paul said Christ's resurrection was the first in order.

 

[Ronald D Milam]

In the Revelation there are seven angels with seven trumpets announcing to the nations the decree of God regarding their impending judgment, and the cities of the nations are seen to fall when the seventh of the seven angels pours out his bowl of wrath.

In Revelation 8:5-6 the 7th seal is opened - and now we read again about lightnings and voices, and thunders - but also an earthquake: "And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it into the earth. And voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake occurred."

I at least like to see people put forth an intellectual argument or rebut, props.

The 7th Trump indeed brings Jesus back via the 7th Vial. And its the 7th Seal that brings God's wrath, there is no wrath however in the Seals they simply seal up the the judgment scroll. That is why the 7th seal is over in Rev. 8 as you point out. So, when the 7th seal is taken off what happened? An Angel took the censor [of prayers]filled it with fore (THINK Incoming Asteroid)and cast it down to earth. This asteroid impact will cause call manner of bad tidings, but an Earthquake would be a major sign of an impact, and it would be on fire as it hit, and it would be worse than all the Nuclear bombs on earth now going off in one place (Thunder & Lightnings).

In Revelation 11:19 the 7th trumpet sounds - and now we read again about lightnings and voices, and thunders - but also an earthquake, and great hail: "And the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His covenant, and occurred lightnings and voices, and thunders and an earthquake, and a great hail.

Here is a major problem with some people via Revelation. The 11:19 verse is the very end, but not the ACTUAL EVENTS of the 7th Trump. Remember what Rev. 8:13 says? The final three Trumps sounding will bring the Three Woes, right? So, just like Rev. 11 speaks about the 2nd Woe (THINK NOW) but we see the actual 2nd Woe in Rev. 9, just because we see the 7th Trump being blown and are told Jesus is taking over, it is not the ACTUAL EEND TIME EVENTS YET, the Two-witnesses get the 1/3 Jews to repent then they pray down all of God's plagues & wrath , like Moses did in Egypt, thus after the pray down the 7th Trump, their mission of 1260 days (starting at 1335 days before the 2nd comin) is complete, and thus they know the END COMES VIA THE 7th Trump, but it only happens in Rev. 16, you sees, the 7th Trump emits the 7 Vials which are the 3rd Woe. Thus Rev. 11:19 and Rev. 16:19 are the exact same event, as is Rev. 14:17-20 where the Wicked Grapes are killed and Rev. 19, the Marriage Supper when the wicked are Judged. This confuses people, God can spin a yarn mostly no one can understand, He is God.

Rev. 1 is Eternal Jesus in all his glory (The THINGS you have seen...plus the disciples saw his death)

Rev. 2 & 3 is the Church Age, 7 = divine completion, the time is the things THAT ARE (Present Church Age)

Rev. 4:1 is the Rapture and everything after is the HEREAFTER or 70th week events.

Rev. 19 is the Marriage of the Church to the Lamb AND the Return so thus chapter lasts 7 years

Rev. 14 lasts 7 years, in a way, we see Israel (144,000 really 5 Million or 1/3) we seen the Wicked Grapes destroyed, but we also see a cinematic FLASHBACK to the Pr Trib. Rapture, with Jesus from UPON A CLOUD Harvesting his Church. COME UP HERE remember?

Now we can go in order, Rev. 4, 5 and 6 all happen during the first 3.5 years of the 70th week tribulation, but we see the events happing in Heaven. The Church is seen in Rev. 4:4 and Rev. 5:9-10 the REDEEMED, and in Rev. 6 the Church us seen before the Seals are ever opened. No Wrath can fall until the Jews in Revelation 7 (the 144,000 is a CODE for ALL Israel who repent) are SEALED (Saved by the Holy Spirit via Elijah and Moses, IMHO) and then protected in the Petra/Bozrah area, ONLY THEN can God's Wrath fall. Read the verses, God says HOLD UP the FOUR WINDS (Judgments) which hurt the Earth, Sea and Trees, and elsewhere it says HURT NOT the Earth, Sea and Trees until we have SEALED or SAVED the 144,000 or the 5 Million Jews (1/3). So, what hurts the Earth, Seas and Trees? The Rev. 8 Trumps, 1-4, all are just four phases of one event, and Asteroid Impact. Now we can move on.

Rev. 7 is the Jews fleeing Judea JUST BEFORE the DOTL falls on mankind. We see a FLASH UP to the Pre Trib. Raptured Saints who came out of great tribulation via the Church Age where millions of Christians were murdered, GREAT TRIBULATION is not the GREATEST EVER TRIBULATION, that is the fatal mistake most people make. IF.......the Church was Raptured Pre Trib. did we not all come out of Great Tribulation? Jesus says we did in John 16:33, he says in me you will have peace, but IN THIS WORLD you will have [continual] TRIBULATION. So, of course we the Church have went through much tribulation and still do, fellow Egyptian Christians, and Sudanese brothers are still killed today. Our blood turned Rome from a Beast to a conveyor belt of the Gospel, we gave Rome the Rev. 13 MORTAL WOUND.

Rev. 8, 9 and 16 (15 and 16 is really one chapter) are the 42 Months of Gods Wrath. Every other chapter is a specific Parenthetical Citation Chapter showing us other events going on at the exact same time as Revelation chapters 8, 9 and 16. Only Rev. 14 and 19 are longer than 3.5 years, Rev. 11 is 1260 days but it is staggered, starting 1335 days before the 2nd coming or 75 days before the Middle of the week so they can get Israel to repent before the DOTL so they can flee BEFORE the 1260 Conquering at the 1290, which is 45 days after the 1335 but 30 days before the 1260.

1335 equals the Two-witnesses who show up 1335 days before the 2nd coming ends all these wonders.
45 days later we get...........
The 1290 AoD which is1290 days before ALL THESE WONDERS or Things end.
30 days later we get...........
The 1260 DOTL events, where the Anti-Christ goes forth conquering 1260 days before the 2nd coming.

Getting long so I will leave off here, why would you reply and not at least try to rebut the 7 Feasts that show the whole history of the world? When you do that you lose the debate brother. It means you have no answers or counter points for all of my points.

So, what you are saying is that you have not seen or read what I have posted in the scriptures. That is a "your problem" and not a "my problem".

No, I've seen what you posted and it's total nonsense. Sorry to be the one to inform you of that. And that is definitely not my problem at all. It's only yours.

[Gottservant]

This is not uncommon, but I think you are confusing what will happen next, with the speed at which it will happen.

The New Heavens and New Earth are established, but they begin as a 'seed' and grow accordingly (not in a rush, but in a way that we do not know how).
