Sorry if you never heard of the millennium. I assumed people debating the bible would be familiar with the baby basics.The problem is, you cannot support any of your claims with direct quotes from scripture. I support everything I said with direct quotes.
The "millennium" as held by physical kingdom buffs is a false doctrine without mention in the gospels or epistles.Sorry if you never heard of the millennium. I assumed people debating the bible would be familiar with the baby basics.
Call it what you like (and believers what you like) the fact is that it lasts a thousand years. At that time Jesus will be ruling earth with His people.The "millennium" as held by physical kingdom buffs is a false doctrine without mention in the gospels or epistles.
This is not true. The 1000 years of Revelation 20 = the binding of Satan. They are not the kingdom. Satan attacks the kingdom when loosed.Call it what you like (and believers what you like) the fact is that it lasts a thousand years. At that time Jesus will be ruling earth with His people.
Jesus said the kingdom is spiritual. You must adjust the Old Testament to that, and not the other way around.CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
The coming ‘day’ will be a day of great reversals. "Our God shall come and shall not keep silence." The great powers will be humbled and Israel, now despised, will be exalted. The mighty cities of the world will be levelled to the dust, and Jerusalem will become "the, joy of the whole earth." Clearly the [Millennial] Kingdom will have two sides, the earthly and the heavenly, running their course contemporaneously, like the overhead and low level lines of the same railway system, but Christ will be King of them both.
How important is the truth to you?Aren't you guys tired of fighting over this?
Who are you quoting?Those who [are resurrected from the dead, and rapt from amongst the living, will] partake of the heavenly calling [and] will enjoy heavenly glory, but flesh and blood will not partake of it. The earthly saints - [i.e., those who will be born and converted during the kingdom age] - will come into the earthly inheritance promised to Abraham and his seed,* and in this, as we have seen, flesh and blood can take part. It is this latter aspect, of things that we have chiefly here before us. Necessarily a very brief statement must suffice, otherwise the whole prophetic word must pass in review.
[* Better to have said, ‘Abraham’s seed’ instead of ‘Abraham and his seed’ because Abraham will be resurrected from the dead, and must therefore enjoy ‘heavenly glory’ as well as his promised earthly inheritance in the land of Canaan during the Millennium. Gen. 15: 5, 7; 17: 8; Jas. 2: 21, 22. cf. Matt. 5: 20; 7: 21; Luke 20: 36.]
This is not true. The 1000 years of Revelation 20 = the binding of Satan. They are not the kingdom. Satan attacks the kingdom when loosed.
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:6)While it is true that Satan will be bound during the first thousand years after Christ returns to earth, look at the bolded words in the verse below to see what is also true of that time.
Re 20:4 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 5:10 - And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
We shall rule with Him on earth, and we will be in heavenly places in New Jerusalem. One does not exclude the other.“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:6)
This is happening now. You cannot be the body of Christ and not be seated with him in heaven presently.
So, you discount the plain teachings of the coming Kingdom on earth in the OT and in Revelation? It is, after all; what we pray for.....Thy Kingdom come on earth....The "millennium" as held by physical kingdom buffs is a false doctrine without mention in the gospels or epistles.
Jesus says you are wrong and that's good enough for me.So, you discount the plain teachings of the coming Kingdom on earth in the OT and in Revelation? It is, after all; what we pray for.....Thy Kingdom come on earth....
[Staff edit]. The future Kingdom IS found in the Gospels and the Epistles. Luke 12:32, Matthew 8:1, 1 Corinthians 15:24, +
[Staff edit].
Only in the new heaven and earth. Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world.We shall rule with Him on earth, and we will be in heavenly places in New Jerusalem. One does not exclude the other.
