  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is what you dont understand is the non-literal 1000 years is taking place now, and will finish at the second advent.

The battle you see is at the end of the future 42 month tribulaton.

Satan is currently bound and sealed from one specific purpose?

"Deceiving The Nations To The Final Battle"
Revelation 16:12-17, Revelation 20:7-9

This earth is dissolved by fire at the appearance of Jesus Christ
2 Peter 3:10-13, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Luke 17:29-30, Malachi 3:2, Nahum 1:5, 1 Corinthians 3:13

Revelation 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.


One thing that seems rather clear, that verse does NOT say the following----But those of the first resurrection and the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. To somehow make it say that when it's not remotely saying that, that would be adding to the text something not found in the text.

And since Amils make the first resurrection to not even be meaning the bodily resurrection of the saints when Jesus comes, where then can that particular resurrection be found in Revelation 20 if it's not meaning the first resurrection? Do Amils actually want us to believe that the most significant blessed resurrection of all time, 2nd only to Christ's, that John totally neglected to even make mention of it anywhere in Revelation 20? That's stretching it to think John would bother to mention the bodily resurrection of the rest of the dead, but would neglect to mention the bodily resurrection of the blessed saints as well.

You mean receiving the mark and worshipping the image of the beast, because Jesus Christ will not return to this earth, and hang out with mortal humans.

Jesus warned believers against this teaching in Matthew 24:23-27

So many words, yet you failed to address my point. Look at Revelation 12 again. It makes a clear correlation between the casting out of Satan and the authority of Jesus, and the blood of the lamb. How do you answer that?

My understanding is that the NEW EARTH comes after the lake of fire has done its job.

As to this 42 month tribulation, where I'm assuming you are meaning Revelation 13 for one, like I pointed out numerous times already, Revelation 20:4 clearly places the time of those events prior to satan being loosed. Are you then saying after the tribulation there will be a little season where this battle then takes place? No matter how one looks at it, this simply can't work if coming from a perspective that places the thousand years before the 2nd coming. In your proposed scenario you would have the 42 month tribulation taking place during the thousand years rather than a time when satan is not bound. There couldn't possibly be a great tribulation occurring during the thousand years when satan is bound. That is ludicrous since this 42 month tribulation will also involve great deception, something satan himself will be fully behind.

Sorry this is a false statement as there will be no human being on earth after the second coming of the Lord in the clouds.

You simply don't understand what it means

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

They are people who have received Jesus gift of salvation that came by Jesus crucifixion

The casting out satan is the time when he comes to earth empowering the BEAST Man of Lawlessness
NOT giving Jesus authority as He has never lost authority ,

You're right. And also Acts 3:21 tells us that Jesus will not return until the new heaven and the new earth.

Acts 3:21
Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

This one is so clear. It still boggles my mind that people find a way around it. Let's see who will be the first one to tell me that "everything" does not mean "everything".

Dave you want to see a bodily resurrection of the believer in Revelation 20:4 it aint there

You disregard the resurrection of the believer will take place on the "Last Day" as Jesus Christ taught in John 6:40

You continue on in your hypothetical teachings, when "clear" scriptural truth has been presented to you again and again?

What?

It clearly says that Satan was cast out of heaven and then came the authority of Jesus and the blood of the lamb. I don't know what you're trying to say but the scripture is pretty clear.
