How convenient for you to ignore that verse 22 is also referring to the kings of the earth and not just "the host of the high ones that are on high". And how convenient for you to ignore verses 19 and 20 as well. Everyone can see how you just cherry pick scripture to form your doctrine.

I don't feel I'm ignoring anything. The subject is the legion of demons. That's what I was addressing. As to the kings of the earth, they too get cast into the prison obviously, meaning the following in their case---and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them(Revelation 20:14). Meaning this, they are of the rest of the dead that don't live again until the thousand years expire. They are visited when they rise from the dead and stand before God at the GWTJ.

As to the the host of the high ones that are on high, they are visited at the end of satan's little season.

You mentioned that I'm ignoring verse 19 and 20. In what way am I doing so? I already addressed it another post where I showed that's it's likely connected with Luke 21:25.26 and Luke 21:33-35. Are you going to argue that Luke 21:33-35 is not involving the end of this age? That's what I am applying Isaiah 24:19-20 to, the end of this age.

What still needs to be factored in here, who is verse 8 referring to in Revelation 20 then? In my view it would be meaning some or all of the ones meant in Zechariah 14:16, where I also take Daniel 7:12 to be explaining them.

We have to keep in mind here. The rest of the dead remain dead the entire thousand years. Those meant in Revelation 20:8 couldn't possibly be meaning any of the rest of the dead. Logic says that if they are seen alive and well after the millennium, this means they are alive and well during the millennium as well.

Of course you don't. So, what do you call it then when you won't address part of a passage?

You do agree that the following verses refer to the same event as verses 21 and 22, right?

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.

If you think this is describing what happens when Jesus returns, then you need to explain how any mortals can survive this.

The subject is the legion of demons. That's what I was addressing.
How about you address other verses that relate to the context of verse 21 and 22? Why would you not want to do that?

As to the kings of the earth, they too get cast into the prison obviously, meaning the following in their case---and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them(Revelation 20:14).
So, you see the prison as referring to hell? Do you equate the bottomless pit with hell then? I ask that because it indicates that the host of the high ones and the kings of the earth are shut up in the same prison. But, I"m not aware of any scripture which teaches anything about angels being sent to hell.

Meaning this, they are of the rest of the dead that don't live again until the thousand years expire. They are visited when they rise from the dead and stand before God at the GWTJ.
If that was the case then that would mean they are sent to the same place as the fallen angels/demons before anyone is cast into the lake of fire. Where does scripture ever teach that?

As to the the host of the high ones that are on high, they are visited at the end of satan's little season.

You mentioned that I'm ignoring verse 19 and 20. In what way am I doing so? I already addressed it another post where I showed that's it's likely connected with Luke 21:25.26 and Luke 21:33-35.

You are trying to use Isaiah 24:21-22 to support Premill. How do verses 19 and 20, which relate to the same event as verses 21 and 22, support Premill? Where do Luke 21 or Isaiah 24 allow for any mortal survivors of Christ's return?

What still needs to be factored in here, who is verse 8 referring to in Revelation 20 then? In my view it would be meaning some or all of the ones meant in Zechariah 14:16, where I also take Daniel 7:12 to be explaining them.
Who are they exactly? Be specific for once. Tell me exactly why they would be allowed to survive Christ's return while all other unbelievers would not? What's the difference between them and the rest of the unbelievers who will suffer Christ's vengeance when He returns?

We have to keep in mind here. The rest of the dead remain dead the entire thousand years. Those meant in Revelation 20:8 couldn't possibly be meaning any of the rest of the dead.
LOL. I love when you tell me obvious things like this as if I somehow would not already know this. But, your buddy "Zao is life" actually does think that verse refers to the rest of the dead after they are resurrected. Even you can see how ridiculous that is.

Logic says that if they are seen alive and well after the millennium, this means they are alive and well during the millennium as well.
That's obvious to everyone except for someone like Zao is life who thinks that they will be those who have been resurrected from the dead.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.


Where does it mention his legion of demons here? Nowhere, right? Should we take that to mean his legion of demons don't join him in the LOF? After all, isn't that the same logic you are using elsewhere? Why use it elsewhere and not here as well?


Just because Revelation 20:1-3 does not mention his legion of demons, this does not prove they are not bound with satan. Just because Revelation 20:10 doesn't mention his legion of demons, this does not prove his legions of demons are not cast in there with him.

But maybe there is something in the OT that might prove his demons are bound with him?

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 22 says---'they' shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison. Why can't 'they' be meaning any of these in verse 21---the host of the high ones that are on high? Thus his legion of demons.

BTW, good luck anyone convincingly getting verse 22 to logically fit something 2000 years ago. Good luck anyone convincingly proving verse 22 is not connected with satan's binding and loosing in Revelation 20. Good luck anyone convincingly proving that verse 21 does not involve anything recorded in Revelation 19.
That was my point I said "if literal"
