In the story of Lazarus and the rich man, Lazarus was on the paradise side. But he was there before Jesus died on the cross and resurrected. So Lazarus was not saved. Lazarus was unsaved, but considered a righteous person, but not perfectly righteous. No-one is saved apart from Jesus;s shed blood and receiving salvation.No. The saved go to Paradise (or Abraham's Bosom) within the Realm of the Dead known as Sheol. The unsaved go to Hades or the Place of Torment (Where the rich-man went). Sheol is made up of two compartments. Abraham's Bosom and Hades. Please read my Commentary (along with the verses that go with it).
Oh, and yes. I am aware that Heaven is also called Paradise, too.
However, the Bible does have many homonyms within it; And looking at the context determines the use of that word, though....
Satan does not have the power to resurrect anyone. Anyone has the power to go out and shoot someone, kill them. But no-one has the power to bring them back to life. It is only by God's power.Just as God refused Satan to take Job's life, God provides or allows the devil to use power so as to bring forth lying wonders (i.e. satanic miracles).
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders" (2 Thessalonians 2:9).
This is nothing new. For we see the same thing done in the Old Testament.
Exodus 7:11, "Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments."

There have been righteous persons die and go to paradise for the past 2000 years, who have not heard of Jesus, so they are not saved. The bible does not say expressly when those persons will be given the opportunity to receive Jesus.

First of all, it doesn't say anywhere in the bible that God is going to give such a power to Satan. Anyone raised from the dead is by God's power.God gives His power of raising the dead in this one particular instance to the devil as a part of the great delusion (of men seeing what they want to see).
No-one, not one single person was saved prior to the resurrection of Jesus.No. Jesus said, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad." (John 8:56).
OT Saints were also saved by Christ or the Living Word. For they all looked to a future Messiah to forever take away their sin.
For the blood of goats and bulls never took away sin (permanently).
Also, Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with Him that very day in Paradise. Yet, Jesus said He would be in the heart of the Earth for 3 days and 3 nights.

What ends the Saints testing ? What day on the 7 year, 2520 day timeline ends the Saints testing?(Also, Anti-Christ's Resurrection Begins the Surviving Tribulation Saint's 1,335 Day of Testing):
When Jesus comes for the rapture/resurrection to redeem our bodies, who are these persons who come with him - from where?The Dead in Christ Are Taken From Abraham's Bosom By the Rapture:
(Both the Old Testament Saints and Church Age Saints in Abraham's Bosom Are Called to Rise To Meet the Lord in the Air. For in the Rapture: The Dead in Christ Shall Rise First):
The Middle of the Tribulation:
(Also Known As the "Middle of Daniel's 70th Week"):
(Last Month of the 1st Half of the Tribulation):
(30 Days Before the Midpoint Day of the Tribulation):
Anti-Christ Takes Jerusalem & The Temple Sacrifices Are Stopped:
(And the Gentile Nations Will Trod Down Upon the City for 42 Months):
(This capture of Jerusalem will happen 30 days prior to the Abomination of Desolation and this 42 month period of the "Trodding Down of the Gentiles" will conclude upon the completion of the 6th Trumpet with 30 more days left until the end of Daniel's 70th Week):
• Daniel 11:31a NIV
His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.
• Daniel 12:11a NLT and Daniel 12:11b NLT
From the time the daily sacrifice is stopped... there will be 1,290 days.
There is no other explanation for what the prophets say will happen, just read Psalms 50:1-3...God has spoken and summoned the earth. From the rising of the sun until its setting...... fire shall devour before Him and around Him a great storm rages.
This fits how a CME will affect the parts of the earth facing the sun, as it rotates. As Joel 2:2 says: as the morning spreads upon the mountains.....
In John 3:13-15, Jesus is talking to Nicodemus, He goes on to say how He must die and be lifted up, in order that all who have faith in Him may have eternal life.
So when did hurricanes have flames of devouring fire in them?A tempest is a hurricane!
Your opinion only, nowhere is a nuke war prophesied. Every attack , Psalms 83, Ezekiel 38/39, Armageddon and the one at the end of the Millennium, are won by the Lord without a shot being fired.Near the end of the tribulation after the 6th bowl and Armageddon, all of Israel will be engulfed in fire from the nuclear war. After Armageddon, during the 7th bowl, Christ will bring a massive hurricane, the kind that can produce 100 pound hails to flood the area, extinguish all the fires and cleanse the land
You pre-trib rapture belief makes you say that, but most if not all Bible scholars agree that what Moses did was a sign and symbol of Jesus' death on the cross. Only be accepting His atoning death can we obtain eternal life.That's not what it means and it doesn't say He must die in John 3:13-15. It means to put Him first, make Him first and foremost in your life as a Christian, His words, His teachings and His commandment, than you will have eternal life. There's also a time in the future when He returns in great glory and finally be glorified by all His saints and those who come to believe in Him. 2 Thessalonians 1:10.
So when did hurricanes have flames of devouring fire in them?
The shaking of the earth, Isaiah 24:1, Isaiah 13:13, Hebrews 12:26 will cause powerful winds, as well as earthquakes and tsunamis. All caused by the one thing that can: a CME of unprecedented magnitude.
Your opinion only, nowhere is a nuke war prophesied. Every attack , Psalms 83, Ezekiel 38/39, Armageddon and the one at the end of the Millennium, are won by the Lord without a shot being fired.
No, John 3:13 means what it says, to everyone: No one goes to heaven.
and all the prophesies saying how the Lord's people will live in all of the holy Land.
Jason, if you are going to do a chronology. State the time frames found in the scripture first. There is no term 3 1/2 years in the text of the bible.
Here are the timeframes.
1260 days
42 months
time, times, half times
Douggg said:the 70th week,
Douggg said:7 years
Douggg said:the 3 1/2 days
Douggg said:the 2300 days
Douggg said:the 1290 days
Douggg said:the 1335 day
First of all, it doesn't say anywhere in the bible that God is going to give such a power to Satan. Anyone raised from the dead is by God's power.
When God brings the person back to life - do you think that the beast is going to give God the credit? Not hardly.
Let's say you witness the person come back to life, anyone there beside you can say it was by the power of (fill in the blank) whoever.
Are you expecting people to see Satan raise the person from the dead, the way that witnesses saw Jesus raise Lazarus? Nobody is going to see someone raise the person from the dead, he is just going to come back to life. And claim he did it himself. Because he will claim to be God.
Jason, there will be 1290 days... till when?
The 7 years are 2520 days long. On what day does the 1290 days begin and on what day does the 1290 days end?
On what day of the 2520 day timeline is the Abomination of Desolation setup to be worshiped?
On what day of the 2520 day timeline does the 42 months trodden down by the gentiles end?
The 7 Trumpets and 7Bowls happen during the Great Trib, in the last 3 1/2 years before the Return.Why would you think that Keras? Do you not know what happens during the trumpets leading up to the 6th bowl and then to the 7th bowl?
As I live in New Zealand, we don't have the plethora of false teachers here, fortunately.I think you've been watching too much Nigel Farage.
I am simply refuting the 'whisked away to heaven' false teaching. Its a Satanic lie and you have fallen for it.That's what you're saying today but tomorrow you'll want no one alive goes to heaven. And male virgins the next day.
That part of the prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD. The Christians escaped then, to Pella, in Northern Jordan safely.And the prophecies also say they will die in the holy land.
No-one, not one single person was saved prior to the resurrection of Jesus.
To be saved a person has to be born again.
The thief went to Paradise with Jesus because that was the route to heaven. Jesus preached the gospel to them in Paradise who's souls would ascend to heaven emptying the righteous side of hades assuming they accepted the gospel message. It is not clear whether the wicked were given the same opportunity for salvation.
Do you think that Jesus is in hades right now or in heaven. To be absent from the body is to be present is the Lord. Which God's throne is in heaven.
When Jesus comes for the rapture/resurrection to redeem our bodies, who are these persons who come with him - from where?
1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him
