Revelation 9:1-2.
"The fifth angel sounded his
shofar; and I saw a star that had fallen out of heaven onto the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss.
2 He opened the shaft of the Abyss, and there went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a huge furnace; the sun was darkened, and the sky too, by the smoke from the shaft."
If that is Satan opening his front door, it is not because he was bound there. He left heaven to accomplish the job.
What does this have to do with Satan being bound there 42+ months later? That time another angel escorts Satan to the pit and locks it behind him. No changing Scripture, no rearranging Scripture, nor private interpretation unless you do not think it is Satan in Revelation 9:1-2. I am ok with it it not being Satan or being Satan. To make a point YOU HAVE TO CHANGE Scripture. I accept Revelation 9:1-2 as a literal event with literal physical consequences.
Matthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, accompanied by all the angels, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates sheep from goats.
33 The ‘sheep’ he will place at his right hand and the ‘goats’ at his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you made me your guest,
36 I needed clothes and you provided them, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
37 Then the people who have done what God wants will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 When did we see you a stranger and make you our guest, or needing clothes and provide them?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’
40 The King will say to them, ‘Yes! I tell you that whenever you did these things for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did them for me!’
41 “Then he will also speak to those on his left, saying, ‘Get away from me, you who are cursed! Go off into the fire prepared for the Adversary and his angels!
42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
43 a stranger and you did not welcome me, needing clothes and you did not give them to me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
44 Then they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, a stranger, needing clothes, sick or in prison, and not take care of you?’
45 And he will answer them, ‘Yes! I tell you that whenever you refused to do it for the least important of these people, you refused to do it for me!’
46 They will go off to eternal punishment, but those who have done what God wants will go to eternal life.”
Verse 31 is fulfilled in Revelation 6:12-13
12 Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red.
13 The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind.
The Second Coming with the angels. The symbolism of stars coming to earth like fig leaves. Why would just the angels come?
The Trumpet and Thunder events cover the separation of the sheep and the goats, and the wheat and the tares. The angels are there to take their souls to Revelation 20:4
The goats are sent to everlasting Death with a capital D. The same Death mentioned in the 4th seal:
"Its rider’s name was Death, and Sh’ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth."
Revelation 20:13
"Death and Sh’ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done."
Who is the "he"? Death only accepts certain chosen people, the goats and tares for starters, but some in the 4th seal are also taken by Death. Those in Death can never escape the Second death. Can those in sheol?
If you claim this separation of sheep and goats, is about resurrected dead people, they come from sheol. Thus those in sheol have to be sheep and wheat, but outside of the church. The church was completed and judged on the Cross. Why would there be goats and tares in heaven? Saying the separation is about dead people makes your case untenable. Yet you choose this position over the current nation of Israel being born in a day? My interpretation only allows living humans. It does not matter if they live in Israel or not.
Revelation 11:15-18
15 The seventh angel sounded his
shofar; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
“The kingdom of the world
has become the Kingdom
of our Lord and his Messiah,
and he will rule forever and ever!”
16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God’s presence fell on their faces and worshipped God,
17 saying,
“We thank you,
Adonai,
God of heaven’s armies,
the One who is and was,
that you have taken your power
and have begun to rule.
18 “
The Goyim raged.
But now your rage has come,
the time for the dead to be judged,
the time for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your holy people,
those who stand in awe of your name,
both small and great.
It is also the time for destroying
those who destroy the earth.”
Now that the sheep and wheat have been transported to Revelation 20:4 by the angels, it is time to celebrate. The prophets representing the church are rewarded. It is time to destroy all left on earth.
You are the one denying Christ is here to set up a 1000 year reign. What is the point of assuming all authority and then create a new reality? You can forget Revelation 20, just how you falsely accuse us of forgetting your passages. We accept them even in ways you reject them. You change the meaning using your own private interpretation.
2 Timothy 4
"I solemnly charge you before God and the Messiah Yeshua, who will judge the living and the dead when he appears and establishes his Kingdom:
2 proclaim the Word! Be on hand with it whether the time seems right or not. Convict, censure and exhort with unfailing patience and with teaching.
3 For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear.
4 Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.
5 But you, remain steady in every situation, endure suffering, do the work that a proclaimer of the Good News should, and do everything your service to God requires."
At what point is this Second Coming to establish a kingdom? Is it on earth since it happens when Christ comes to earth to finish his earthly ministry. Who is the living and the dead? Who are in Christ and who are not in Christ? It seems to me the living are in Christ. The dead are not in Christ. Whose interpretation is correct? It is a physical Kingdom, yet you claim: "No, it is spiritual". No such thing as a Lord's Day/1000 years. Is the soon coming Kingdom physical on earth or heavenly in heaven? Then you want to take the literal words living and dead to be living and dead. Why take that as literal, but not an earthly Kingdom?
If the church is not part of the kingdom on earth, then the living are not the church, and your literal living and dead remain that way. The judgment is just 1000 years between the living and the dead. But at the Second Coming all will be dead by the end of the battle of Armageddon. That is the judgment of the living and is still separated by 1000 years from the dead. Revelation 20:4 is the result of some judged while they lived, the sheep and wheat. The reward is the 1000 year reign with Christ. That is their only reward. How they lived thereafter is a bonus. The dead are rewarded in Death. Eternal death in the lake of fire. Removing or accepting a 1000 year time frame does not change that fact either way. Why not leave Revelation 20 as is?
So who is changing God's Word because it appeals to their senses? It is not me. It is those who deny and reject the black and white text in God's Word. Those who turn literal words into symbols so they can make up their own literal interpretation of said symbol. Those who reject the Lord's Day as being 1000 years as Peter claims. You are the one who rejects 2 Timothy 4, not me.
