No human can be saved after the second coming because the final judgment, eternal life, eternal kingdom, has started Matthew 25:31-46

At the appearance of Jesus in the second coming, this existing earth is dissolved by the Lords fire in Judgment. 2 Peter 3:10-13, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Luke 17:29-30, Malachi 3:2, Nahum 1:5, Revelation 20:9, Zechariah 14:12

Wrong, the GWT Judgment is not until after the "thousand years" of Rev.20 which is about Christ's future reign over the nations with "a rod of iron" per Psalms 2. That has NEVER happened before in history, not even to this time today.

Nor is the earth literally dissolved, but only the SURFACE OF THE EARTH will be cleansed by God's consuming fire, man's WORKS burned off it. God is not going to turn this earth into an asteroid belt. The earth is forever, like He said in Psalms 78:69. God's consuming fire event on the day of Christ's return, which is the "day of the Lord", is a type of judgment upon the earth, but it is not... the GWT Judgment that will only occur a thousand years afterwards per Rev.20.

This is the event of God's consuming fire on the day of Christ's return, on the "day of the Lord"...

Zech 14:12
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.

KJV


And then after... that event, during Christ's thousand years reign, we are told this about some of those who came upon against Jerusalem on that "day of the Lord":

Zech 14:16-17
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
KJV


How is it there's some of those wicked that came against Jerusalem still existing AFTER... that event of God's consuming fire in verse 12? That is a direct link to the nations outside the "camp of the saints" in Rev.20 during Christ's "thousand years" reign.

"In Christ" means IN HIS SPIRITUAL BODY - THE CHURCH. That is why Paul is making the point that flesh cannot inherit the kingdom, that there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male or female. Were you "born again" spiritually? Or is that another phrase that you don't recognize? The whole point you all are making is in agreement with this fact, that our salvation is solely spiritual and it includes everyone who puts their faith in Christ alone - no argument there. However, once again, you are all in denial and/or distorting Romans 11, Ezek. 37 -39, Rev. 7 & 14 and others:
"but - as the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them. For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers." Jer. 16:15
"Say to them, thus says the Lord GOD, - Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;" Ezek. 37:21

The fulfillment of this prophecy began in 1948.
Merry Christmas Ronald. So you're discounting the return to the land clearly pointed out in Ezra and Nehemiah and jumping to 1948? Why even in Daniel as he prays in Daniel 9 understand the return refers to their return from Babylonian captivity...and here you are trying to make it 1948.

Do you not understand flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom because the sin nature must be changed? This is why we're given the Holy Spirit..AND...why we must PUT ON our immortal bodies at the return of Christ!

The Lord will save a remnant but put them and those who do not receive Christ through the fire as well to test them.
"Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?" Isaiah 33:14 This consuming fire is on earth, they are witnesses to it.
Wrath comes to the enemies of Zion, see Isaiah 34:8-11
"It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." Zech. 12:9 This obviously did not happen yet.
"And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." Zech. 12:10
This was written 500 years before Christ. Grace came with Christ. When Christ died on the cross, they looked on Him and mourned. At Pentecost, the Holy spirit was poured out in Jerusalem and to the world. This would appear to be referring to that time. However, the context of the passage speaks of a war where all the nations of the earth come against Jerusalem in the future. This did not eve happen in 70 A.D. Only one nation destroyed Jerusalem, the Roman Empire.
"For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and residue of the people shall not be cut off form the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley, and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south." ... "And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume (melt) 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." Zech. 14:2-4, 12

The gathering of all nations against Jerusalem will happen and is already beginning.
Jesus will return and literally stand on the Mt. of Olives and the mountain will split in two as the scripture describes.
The plague that he uses to destroy these nations describes either a nuclear blast, where peoples flesh is dissolved while they are still standing on their feet or He reigns fire from heaven -- either way, this has not happened!
It also appears to me that God has not only blinded a remnant of Israel, but many in His own body fail to discern these current and near future events.
You're still missing the point. For the Christian the reality IS the Spiritual!!! Why do you think we are commanded to "walk in the Spirit"?

Let's take it a step further. Jesus make this very point speaking to Nicodemus. In John 3:6:
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

So once again your distinction you try to make is incorrect. Look at John 4:23,24:
23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Furthermore, Paul points out to you in Romans 9:19-30 how these things apply as he clearly states that Gentiles are equally Israel as Jews are...and he applies the prophecies Isaiah and Hosea...which explains Romans 9:6-8

You also totally mis-apply Zechariah. Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4 the time had come when it's not it's not about earthly Jerusalem. and Paul tells us as much when he tells us THE JERUSALEM ABOVE is our mother. This point is clearly made again in Hebrews 12:18-24.
The Jerusalem of Zechariah is the Jerusalem above that is our mother of which we are citizens right now. Your eye is on the wrong Jerusalem Read Revelation 3:12.

The Jews were scattered throughout the world in 70A.D. and after 1878 years they became a nation again and began the return home.

Do you not understand flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom because the sin nature must be changed? This is why we're given the Holy Spirit..AND...why we must PUT ON our immortal bodies at the return of Christ!
I absolutely understand this. And ...?

You're still missing the point. For the Christian the reality IS the Spiritual!!! Why do you think we are commanded to "walk in the Spirit"?
Absolutely, not missing that point, walk in the Spirit. And ... so ?

Let's take it a step further. Jesus make this very point speaking to Nicodemus. In John 3:6:
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
I am born again. So ... what is your point trying to imply I'm not aware of these truths???????????????????????????????????????

So once again your distinction you try to make is incorrect. Look at John 4:23,24:
23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
Once again, I agree with all scripture. You guys when backed to the corner start to distort what the other person says, imply that He doesn't believe or understand certain basics ... I'm sorry, you don't even get a nice try from me.

Scriptures that all of you are giving do not negate the promises to the remnant Israel in Romans 11. It's useless. You guys are Amillennialists. Do you understand that many in the church see it differently? You must distort or misinterpret much of scripture to arrive at these beliefs that you have. The Great Tribulation is coming soon; a remnant population of the Jews will be enlightened during this time; a 1,000 year Kingdom with Jesus ruling as King is coming. Sorry, but it futile to discuss this anymore to a wall of denial, a massive error made by your theology.
Merry Christmas

Do you believe in a future human man of sin/Antichrist? 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Do you believe in a future "Great Tribulation" of 42 months/1260days? Revelation 11, Revelation 13

Do you believe "Two Witnesses" will be prophets returned in physical bodies? Will there be literal plagues? Revelation 11

Do you believe this earth will be literally destroyed by fire? 2 Peter 3:10-13

Do you believe in the glorified, eternal, tangible, body at the resurrection? 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Do you believe in the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, with a tangible tree of life, and river of life, animals present Isaiah 11, Revelation 21, Revelation 22?

This Existing Earth Is Not Forever As You Falsely Claim, Isaiah 24:20

This Earth Will Be Removed, It Will Fall And Not Rise Again 2 Peter 3:10-13

No, you're misunderstanding the Isaiah 24 passage. God is not going to literally destroy this earth, but cleanse its surface like He did with the flood of Noah's day, except using fire this next time.

Isa 24:19-23
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.

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.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.

KJV


Moreover, Zech.14 and Acts 1 reveals Jesus will set foot upon the Mount of Olives at His return, which is where He ascended to Heaven from per Acts 1. Mount Zion is on earth, in Jerusalem, which will be the eventual new Jerusalem once Christ reigns there and has put all enemies under His feet.

Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly:6 wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.


Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.


Rev_3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

Rev_21:2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.


Rev_21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

....

And the timing... when that was said? During THIS PRESENT WORLD TIME. That Heavenly Zion has always been in Heaven with God... during THIS WORLD.

But in the world to come, the New Jerusalem, i.e., the Heavenly, will be established HERE, ON EARTH.

This is what those with a carnal mind will never understand until they see it, i.e., Heaven ON earth.

When Jesus comes on the "day of the Lord" it will END this present flesh world time. We will no longer be in flesh mortal bodies. Even the wicked will have their flesh cast off, as proven in Zech.14 about those who come against Jerusalem on the last day of this present world.

This is what the 'change' at the "twinkling of an eye" is about that Apostle Paul was talking about on that day. In Isaiah 24, God described it like taking a bottle and turning it upside down, with the contents gurgling out. In Isaiah 25 where Paul was speaking of death being swallowed up in victory, God tells us the veil cast over all peoples will be removed then. The Heavenly dimension... which is behind a veil today for those us living in the flesh on earth, will be revealed right here on earth for all to see. The two dimensions will be combined, and that is also how the full Godhead will return to earth for His Eternal new heavens and a new earth.

(Get a piece of wood and burn it up and then see what is left.)


2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
(Put a piece of limestone rock in some acid and dissolve it and see what is left.)

Your continual quoting that from 2 Peter 3 only keeps revealing you don't know what it's really about, since one must first understand the OT prophets where Peter was pulling that from. You've already shown me you haven't studied the OT prophets much.

2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

When does the fire come, based on the passage above?

From the Old Testament.

Isa 66:15 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.


Isa 66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

Did you see the American/Israeli flags projected unto the Western Wall today? For those who might not follow the news, President Trump changed decades of history announcing our recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital today, and his plans to move the American embassy there. That is a huge end time sign taken right out of Ezekiel 37. Turn your Bibles to Ezekiel 37.15; start reading and see if you agree with this explanation.

The two sticks are For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions. This is the present day occupants of Jerusalem and Israel. The LORD continues to tell Ezekiel to Take another stick, and write upon it, for Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions. This is America, which has historically been the recipient of the 10 northern tribes of Israel, which the LORD scattered 2,700 years ago. Confused?

For those who do not know their Bibles, allow this brief explanation. When Solomon became king, the 12 tribes of Israel split up, 10 tribes going to the northern parts of Israel and the remaining two staying in and around Jerusalem, southern Israel. 2,700 years ago, our Father (as promised) scattered the 10 northern tribes around the world but mainly concentrated them in Europe. From Europe many of them migrated to America, even Ellis Island at the turn of the last century.

Of course, by that time the vast majority of them were Christians, having no idea they were descendants of the 10 northern tribes. Let's just say it was much safer to be a Christian than a Jew during the Dark Age. Many American and European Christians today would be shocked, and no doubt dismayed, to find out they were Jewish!

In any case, President Trump gave us a remarkable end of days sign today when he inadvertently put the sticks of Judah and Joseph back together today. Everyone should understand that the capital of the millennial reign and the eventual throne of God will be in Jerusalem. It is our Heavenly Father's favorite place on earth. For those of you who might not own a Bible (shame on you!) this is how it reads:

Say unto them, 'Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in Mine hand. Ezekiel 37.19
Why do some people always think America is in Bible prophecy? The gospel is not about America. It's about Christ and the two sticks that were brought together were Jew and Gentile, in Christ. Ephesians 2.

Daniel 11 is about the end times when you get to verse 13.
Before this, it already closed a section and then goes on to - after certain years.

Daniel 11:6
"...in the end of years..."
Daniel 11:13
"...after certain years...."
Daniel 11:40
"...at the time of the end...at him..."
So, who is this him?
He had to already be told to us in the previous verses.
Verse 39
"...he shall do..."
Keep backing up in the verses and I land at verse 21 and the he is the vile person that stands up.
This is the only king called - vile.

2 Thessalonians 2 links up with Daniel 11:36.
as to the son of perdition - exalts himself

"the king" from Daniel 11:36
This shows we have already been reading about this king in the previous verses.

The time of the end and such remarks are in relation to the wars between Egypt and Syria/Iraq area as the south and the north kings.
No you're taking it out of context. Also the better translation of Daniel 11:13 is not "in the end of years"...consider:

Complete Jewish Bible: 13 Rather, the king of the north will again muster an army, larger than the first one, at the end of this period, after a number of years; it will be a large, well-supplied army.

NASB: 13 For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

NIV: 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.

NKJV: 13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.

RSV: 13 For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, larger than the former, and after some years he shall advance with a great army and abundant supplies.

Word study will show these to all be correct!

This period of Daniel 11 refers to the rise and fall of Antiochus Epiphanes. Verse 13 It is historical fact though many think at Daniel 11:36 does not refer to Antiochus.

This link is pretty accurate history, though I don't agree with all of it: Daniel 11 Commentary - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

This is not the end times at all!

It's called reading comprehension:

1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jo 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

-If you do not abide in this doctrine, you do not have the Father, much less the Israelis.


I have many times, this is post-Millennium, when the former things pass away, the heavens and earth are destroyed in a fervent heat, the elements melt away and the New Jerusalem comes down. This is after the 1000 years. So in essence the Day of the Lord is within this 1000 years. Christ returns with judgment (3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation), He puts a temporary end to sin and evil when He locks up Satan and his demonic horde in the Abyss, then physically sets up His kingdom on earth for 1000 years - in the flesh, then He releases Satan once again for a short period to tempt those on earth who were not born again believers (these are children born in this era), THEN HE DESTROYS THE EARTH AND HEAVEN IN A FERVENT HEAT (2 Pet. 3:10)
Again, it's called reading comprehension. Peter specifically says Christ doesn't return until the 2nd resurrection, the "day of the Lord" because that is the day the world is judged. He does not return until then. You are wrong.


Ezek. 21:26, 27 refers to King Zedekiah removal and Nebuchadnezzar's reign.
You're obviously not reading and comprehending because I said it was fulfilled by Zech 6:9-13 and Ezek 21:26-27, God's own planting; and Nebuchadnezzar wasn't that planting. Plus you totally ignored Ezek 21:26-27 in your response.


Ezek. 17
"Eze 17:1-24. Parable of the Two Great Eagles, and the Cropping of the Cedar of Lebanon. Judah Is to Be Judged for Revolting from Babylon, Which Had Set Up Zedekiah instead of Jehoiachin, to Egypt; God Himself, as the Rival of the Babylonian King, Is to Plant the Gospel Cedar of Messiah.
The date of the prophecy is between the sixth month of Zedekiah's sixth year of reign and the fifth month of the seventh year after the carrying away of Jehoiachin, that is, five years before the destruction of Jerusalem [Henderson].Under the parable of two eagles and a vine, Ezekiel 17:1-10, is showed God’s judgment upon Zedekiah, for revolting from Babylon to Egypt, Ezekiel 17:11-21. A promise of Christ’s kingdom, Ezekiel 17:22-24."
Zech. 6:12, 13
"12. Behold, the man—namely, shall arise. Pilate unconsciously spake God's will concerning Him, "Behold the man" (Joh 19:5). The sense here is, "Behold in Joshua a remarkable shadowing forth of Messiah." It is not for his own sake that the crown is placed on him, but as type of Messiah about to be at once king and priest. Joshua could not individually be crowned king, not being of the royal line of David, but only in his representative character.

Branch—(See on [1180]Zec 3:8; Isa 4:2; Jer 23:5; 33:15).
he shall grow up out of his place—retaining the image of a "Branch"; "He shall sprout up from His place," that is, the place peculiar to Him: not merely from Beth-lehem or Nazareth, but by His own power, without man's aid, in His miraculous conception [Henderson]; a sense brought out in the original, "from under Himself," or "from (of) Himself" [Calvin]. Moore makes it refer to His growing lowly in His place of obscurity, "as a tender plant and a root out of a dry ground" (Isa 53:2), for thirty years unknown except as the son of a carpenter. Maurer translates, "Under Him there shall be growth (in the Church)." English Version accords better with the Hebrew (compare Ex 10:23). The idea in a Branch is that Christ's glory is growing, not yet fully manifested as a full-grown tree. Therefore men reject Him now.
build the temple—The promise of the future true building of the spiritual temple by Messiah (Mt 16:18; 1Co 3:17; 2Co 6:16; Eph 2:20-22; Heb 3:3) is an earnest to assure the Jews, that the material temple will be built by Joshua and Zerubbabel, in spite of all seeming obstacles. It also raises their thoughts beyond the material to the spiritual temple, and also to the future glorious temple, to be reared in Israel under Messiah's superintendence (Eze 40:1-43:27). The repetition of the same clause (Zec 6:13) gives emphasis to the statement as to Messiah's work."
Jamieson-Fauset-Brown commentaries (Ezek. & Zech scriptures)

Jesus is God, our Creator but He did not physically reign as King for 1000 years at any time in history ... but will soon reign. Won't that be nice? Not looking forward to that? What a shame.
You obviously can't accept the fact, and the world can't either, so I won't waste any more time with you. God's planting, in particularly Ez 21:26-27, was Zech 6:9-13 - the fact.

You will know them by their fruits.

Why do some people always think America is in Bible prophecy? The gospel is not about America. It's about Christ and the two sticks that were brought together were Jew and Gentile, in Christ. Ephesians 2.
The true interpretation according to 1 John 2:22-24 is it's the spirit of antichrist working in the earth today.

1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jo 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
