John wrote Revelation ~ and specific to this point, Revelation 20 ~ in about 95 A.D., Timtofly. In the first century.
I mean there's all kind of opinions regarding anything. But regarding the millennium of Revelation 20, there has from very early after John wrote Revelation always been disagreement on when the millennium is in relation to Jesus's return.
No. Good grief. LOL! Amillennialists assert that Satan, as a result of being "locked in the pit," is unable to prevent the spread of the Gospel to the nations, which is exactly what John says in Revelation 20.
Yes it is...
What he says is not really what he says? LOL!Sure, it's real. Goodness gracious. But this pit... do you think it's a hole somewhere on earth? Surely not. My goodness. Just because we say something is spiritual and/or symbolic is not synonymous in any way with "not real." Wow.
Agreed. As if I ever disagreed with this...
No. Good Lord.
Well, the "chain" is what the dragon ~ Satan ~ is "seized" with. And this is all quite metaphorical, but certainly indicative of a very real taking away of Satan's ability to ~ a very real sealing of Satan from being able to ~ deceive the nations, or prevent the spread of the Gospel to all the nations. And this is what enables Jesus to send His disciples to all nations to spread the Gospel and thereby to make disciples, which is what He mandates at the end of Matthew's gospel... what we call the Great Commission.
So no. If "Amil" were to teach such a thing, it would basically be saying Jesus gave a mandate to His disciples that was impossible complete or be successful in doing, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Do you ever even think about what you're saying and why you're saying it? What color are the skies in your world, EWQ?
In your opinion. Yeah, I'm good with that.
I mean there may be some out there who consider themselves Amillennialists who actually believe "the Gospel is in the pit," but that's quite a ridiculous belief, and Amillennialism would disavow it.LOL! We'll... agree to disagree.
Yes, and while true, this prowling around is misunderstood by so many. Yeah, yeah, you think it's me and others who understand this along the same lines as I do, and I think it's you and others who understand this along the same lines as you do. All good, right?
Disagree...
In a sense, yes, but bound completely from deceiving the nations, unable to prevent the spread of the Gospel to all nations.
Ah, well, I think I would disagree with the growing worse thing. As the writer of Ecclesiastes says, there's nothing new under the sun. Sin is a terrible thing. But one day there will be no more sin. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
I don't do that. Except maybe to poke a little good-natured humor from time to time.
No offense intended.
That is a lie. The early church father Justin Martyr acknowledged that there were many Christians who did not share his Premill belief. I can't believe that you have no conscience about lying. Shameful.
Nonsense. Another lie from you. You know you can't refute Amillennialism with scripture, so you resort to making lies about it instead. Pathetic.
