    What Do you think about the Millennial Reign?

    I have been studying the topic for a long time, and I am interested in your viewpoints on the millennium of Revelation 20. What view do you have, and what reasons (specifically from the scriptures) convinced you of your current position? I also made a video on the subject here, so please let me...

    Does the Bible say the rapture happens 1000 years before the second coming?

    A serious question indeed since the Bible appears to say that very thing. First lets define terms. Rapture: John 14:1-3 - Jesus comes again and receives the saints to Himself and takes us to heaven "His father's house". Recall the Lord's prayer "Our Father who is in heaven". 1 Thess 4:13 -...

    The future millennial reign of Christ and the saints

    It is a Bible fact that - "There will be a future millennial reign of Christ and the saints" - and at the rapture God takes all the saints to heaven - which is after the tribulation as Matt 24 points out. Matt 24 29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened...

    Another Problem with SDA Basic Belief 27: Earth Given to Satan’s Angels

    SDA founder Ellen White taught that after the Second Coming, the earth would be given to Satan and the fallen angels during the Millennium. The saints, the righteous, would be raptured or taken to heaven and all others would be slain by Jesus the as Judge of the World. Then Jesus would go back...

    "Almost" all the world's religions agree on one detail about "the end"

    No doubt people have a lot of points where they differ on the millennium topic - but on this thread I am looking for a common theme. I have often posted that Christianity Today pointed out in Feb 2015 - that the Seventh-day Adventist church had grown from the mid 1800's to then being the 5th...

    Is the Earth Desolate during the Millennium ? No humans?

    Many Bible texts speak of the Earth desolate - bodies cover the Earth, no stars, hills move to and fro, cities of earth all destroyed "I looked and there was no man" Jer 4. (non-SDAs have no point in time where Earth can be desolate like that) Jer 25:33 “Those slain by the LORD on that day will...

    Epistle Of Barnabas 15:1–4

    The Epistle of Barnabas was written shortly after the New Testament, within 1-2 generations of the original apostles. The Epistle of Barnabas is of interest to us today as it provides insight into the thoughts of the early church, or at least a section of the early church. We will begin with a...

    Second coming not on time?

    I read this Christian article on the second coming and am confused about the following scriptures. They appear to be depicting the second coming as happening 2000 years ago? But surely this hasn't happened. So what is the current interpretation of this. Or has there been another thread on this...

    1000 years in heaven.

    Christ takes all the saints to heaven for 1000 years at the 2nd coming. -- "I will come again" John 14. the 1000 years are literal - But it is not where Christ reigns on Earth because Revelation 19 says all the wicked are killed when Christ comes again (second coming) - and John 14 says that...

    Ante-Nicene 'fathers' 7,000 year old earth, based on 7 days of Genesis & Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8

    The 7 days of Genesis & 7,000 years old earth view (Ps. 90:4, II Pet. 3:8)), have you heard this, even in the Ante-Nicene 'fathers'? For instance (summary): In Matthew 13, Jesus gives several related parables, about the work of a laborer, sowing in the field and then reaping. According to Holy...

    Second Coming of Christ = FIRST Resurrection without question

    In 1Thess 4 we see a depiction of the second coming of Christ where the "Dead in Christ rise FIRST" - in what John calls "The FIRST resurrection" Rev 20:1-5. Rev 20 4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded...
