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

[Truth7t7]

I have bypassed this, but there comes a time for spirit and truth.

The above is not spirit a truth, it is man's understanding according to the times and terms of this [fallen] world. So, yes, whoever wants to believe it as such certainly can, that has been the way it has been now for a long time. But again, it is written, "the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23". Those are the two choices.

When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, how will you be lead--by the understanding of men, or the Spirit of God?

The difference in those two opposing ways, is a matter of translating and understanding the terms according to God's terms or man's worldly terms. From God's perspective and according to His terms, He has established in the scriptures, "precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little" a conclusion far different that the one stated above in the original post. Which began with 7 times given in the days of creation as God making good His promise, saying, "new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Then in Daniel, by an angel of the Lord, elaborates the 7 times, saying the whole matter comes during, "a time times and half a time" further elaborated by breaking it all down to 70 weeks. Ten times, meaning: all (according to the count of men, made in the image of God), and yet it all refers to the same "time times and half a time", which is to say 7 times, made up of two half times of 3 1/2.

That, very simply from scripture, is God's explanation of the times.

Man, on the other hand, is prone to thinking in literal or worldly terms and times, rather than the looking at the bigger picture...and then of course, pushing whatever they don't clearly understand off to support a false future fulfillment doctrine. And we need to remember John said above in John 4:23--not future, but "now is."

In that very simple frame given by God, the two witnesses are "the Jew first and also for the Greek (gentile)" and or "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual" each as one man "one new man from the two" in Christ (Ephesians 2:15).

But like I said, if you don't want to follow along "precept upon precept" etc...that's your choice.

Scott do you believe you're a Prophet of God?

IMO:

o "Earth dissolved" (2Peter 3:10) occurs after the millennium.

o See Revelation chapters 21, 22 for details.

There 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.

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:

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV

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:

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.

Scott do you believe you're a Prophet of God?

I do not call myself a prophet. I am however one sent by God.

Why do you ask?

o. Mille= Latin "1000"
o. Annus = Latin "year"
o. This carries over into English "millennium" = "1000 years"
o. Revelation 20:6 says: "...they will rule with him (Jesus) one thousand years."

 

[Truth7t7]

Revelation 20:6 says: "...they will rule with him (Jesus) a thousand years."

Revelation 20:1-6 Isnt A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Dont Be Deceived​

Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?
2.) Physical Earthly Throne?
3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
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.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

There is very little description of heaven in the Bible. But if we are to go there then I presume there would be oxygen, warmth, water, foliage, etc. And there are lots of people there now.

Believers have physically died, their bodies are dead in the grave, and you suggest the souls in heaven are in need of oxygen living, surrounded by plant life?

It's my opinion that when scripture is silent on the description leave it at that "A Mystery"
