There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth
I don't understand why you are questioning the function of time and capability.QUESTION: Before the fall of Adam, was Adam capable of sinning against God?
Revelation 21Zero do that. Rev properly informs everyone that the NHNE comes LONG after the second coming. No death in the NHNE
The NHNE and revelation 20 are the same.
Psalm 75There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation
This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ
(Behold, I Make All Things New)
2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
There is no death in Revelation 21 for those in New Jerusalem - "But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."No, they aren't. Death exists all through Rev 20 but there is no death at all in Rev 21's NHNE.
Your living in denial of the scripture before your eyes, you have a predetermined bias to maintain the false teaching of a Millennial Kingdom on this earthThe rudiments of this world and the works of men literally burning up when Christ comes near:
Nope. You're living in denial of scripture. It's the rudiments of this world and the works of men literally being burned up by the return of Christ.Your living in denial of the scripture before your eyes, you have a predetermined bias to maintain the false teaching of a Millennial Kingdom on this earth
Jesus Christ returns in fire and final judgement, dissolving this earth by fire (The End)
Nahum 1:5KJV

Luke 17:29-30KJV

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Was Sodom and Gomorrah "Literally" burned in history as described in scripture below?Nope. You're living in denial of scripture. It's the rudiments of this world and the works of men literally being burned up by the return of Christ. 2 Peter 3:10-12 covered in detail, with every word explained here:
Redemption Song: The importance of recognizing the metaphor used in apocalyptic biblical literature
(The End)
I see which logical fallacy you are under now. It goes like this: "If Sodom and Gomorrah's fire and brimstone was literal (because their destruction certainly was literal), then it means that the Bible doesn't use metaphor. So the woman John saw in Revelation 12 was a literal woman, and she was literally wearing the actual sun. The actual moon was literally under her feet. And twelve literal stars were like the diamonds in her crown."Was Sodom and Gomorrah "Literally" burned in history as described in scripture below?
Genesis 19:24KJV
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
The salvation of nations often refer to *political salvation.* A nation is delivered from its enemies when that nation obeys God, when the nation is under covenant with God.
Show us Scripture to support these claims? You have a habit of doing this. You make these claims but have no actual Scripture to support them.
Quit the commentary--it's false. Show some restraint, and stick to the issues please. I provide Scriptural proofs for *everything* I say, though I don't feel the need to do that in every post, since most here know the relevant Scriptures already.
I'm shocked you don't know the answer to this already! You don't know that God promised political deliverance from Israel's enemies if they kept the Law? Amazing! Read the curses announced on Mt. Ebal.
Not so. If you knew you would happily submit. That is because you have nothing that teaches what you attribute to Revelation 20. You have to foist it upon the inspired text.
Yeah, but they broke the covenant that those promises were based on, and so God promised a new covenant which would not be like that covenant that He had made with them in the days he took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt.Quit the commentary--it's false.

They made it obvious that they were not capable of keeping the covenant of which Moses was the mediator, so Christ came as the mediator of the new and infinitely better covenant, which is the only eternal covenant.
Isaiah 24:5
"And the land is defiled under its people; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and have broken the everlasting (‛ôlâm) covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31-32
"Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was a husband to them, says the LORD.
It's a tragedy and against Christ and the gospel to teach people that the first covenant has any effect whatsoever.
.. all sorts of excuses to hang onto the law and to "political Israel". And contradicting the Word of God. Same trick since the Garden of Eden, I agree.Yes, I hear this all the time, which is actually a complete misread of what Paul's theology was on this. He set out to show that the purpose of the Law was to bring righteousness and also to show that since sin was mixed in with it, it lacked the ability to obtain eternal life. This was the lesson going back as far as the Garden of Eden. A single sin kept mankind away from the Tree of life, requiring that grace be extended beyond the Law to dispense eternal life to mankind.
So the Law of Moses was not just given to Israel to frustrate them, to show them they could not attain to eternal life. Much more than that, it was an instrument of righteousness to show that God's intention was to provide righteousness in the interim until he could supply grace through His Son Jesus.
So many today erringly think the Law was designed to frustrate man, to make him think he cannot do any good, whereas the reality is, it was designed to show that despite the fact we could do good we needed the grace of Jesus to enable us to obtain eternal life. Paul went to lengths to show that the Law was good, and brought righteousness. He only intended to show that the Law is insufficient if it is not based on the grace of Jesus.
The Law was in a very real sense a forerunner of Jesus, showing both his righteousness and his grace. It's just that apart from Jesus mankind could not in themselves provide the grace they needed for redemption from sin. Jesus came to fulfill the righteousness of the Law for us so that we can trust in him for his gift of righteousness to us, coupled with the grace and mercy that goes with it.
The obedience of Israel that kept them in the blessings of God were perfectly functional, despite the fact it did not yet lead to eternal life. It was a preliminary form of righteousness, keeping them in good standing with God until Jesus could come and provide atonement for their sins. In abiding in the righteousness of the Law they were actually putting their faith in the mercy of God who would provide in Jesus the atonement that was required to go along with it.
The political deliverance of Israel under the Law shows God's kindness towards nations and societies when they work together to please God. It was not a system designed to frustrate nations, committing them to an inability to do right. They could most certainly do right, which is precisely what God wanted.

So while we're in Genesis, the very first promise God made Abraham was that he would become the father of a multitude of goy. The many nations in Christ, the seed of Abraham and seed promised in Genesis 3:15 in whom all the nations and families of the earth would be blessed.
Abraham's seed fulfill (present, ongoing tense) the law by abiding in Him (Christ) through faith in Him and in HIS complete fulfillment of the law and the commandments, in order that the fruit of the Vine / Spirit which fulfills all the law and commandments, be produced in them - to believe on the name of Jesus and to love one another fulfills all the law and commandments - that law which is a shadow of Christ and of the fruit of His Spirit that fulfills the law.
That is the law God writes on the hearts of those who believe the gospel (Jeremiah 31:33) - and HE writes it on the heart, replacing your "I will".
You won't, because you can't.
Yes the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was literal, just as the future destruction will be when the Lord is revealed at his second coming as seen in Luke 17:29-30 below, your living in denial of this biblical truth"If Sodom and Gomorrah's fire and brimstone was literal (because their destruction certainly was literal)
2 Peter 3:10-12 is talking about the burning up of the heavens, elements and the earth and then verse 13 refers to the result of that renewal by fire which will be the new heavens and new earth.So you would have the following...KJV 2 Peter 3:12
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Destroying the new earth?
