OK, I am having a hard time taking you seriously now...
when you suggest a "kingdom" does not include MEN. What
do you imagine this "realm" consists of? Grass and trees?
Cattle and fish?
Well once again a kingdom is the realm where a king rules! It is a territory (that is why it is written in the kingdom of men- it is the realm where men lives) I know of no one else who generically defines a kingdom as men. the kingdom of Babylon was where Nebuchadnezzar ruled! Land, men and all things were in His kingdom!
I simply quoted Scriptures to you.
I did not WRITE the Scriptures, they are included
in YOUR BIBLE... you can look them up for yourself.
It is not the Scriptures I argue with, it is your personal interpretation of them.
I am still waiting for you to answer how many of those you listed as having sent your hypothesis to actually acknowledged reading it and how many actually agree with you?
I quoted
Daniel 12:8-10 which teaches that only the Last Saints
"
shall understand" the mysteries of Daniel's prophecies which
remain "
closed-up" and "
sealed" until the "
time-of-the-end"
I am sorry if you do not LIKE what the Scripture says.
Well give me a list of some of the "last saints" who agree with your opinions then! You are an allegorical interpreter of escatological passages and I have studied many many allegoriical eschatologies! But I have never come across one as vapid as yours.
So you REALLY think there are unsaved people in the
Eternal "Kingdom of God"? That does not even pass
the giggle test. I will waste NO TIME on that nonsense.
If you take the passage of the sower and the four grounds as written in Mark you must! IN Matthew it is called the Kingdom of Heaven, In Mark it is called the kingdom of God! YOu cannot make one parable mean two different things!
Well then I await your enlightenment as show from history (wow you hate dictionaries and history when others show it) the fulfilment of this:
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
I have already provided you with about 6-7 SCRIPTURES
that talk about the Antichrist RULING during the Great Tribulation
"Kingdom of Heaven" (aka Revelation Beast) for a period called
3.5 "times" and 3.5 "days" and 3.5 years (42 mos) and for
3.5 "watches of the night".
You cannot even PRETEND to understand Biblical Truth about
the RULE of the Antichrist unless/until you are able to harmonize
ALL RELATED SCRIPTURES about these periods... at best you could
only offer some partial-truth when you intentionally IGNORE these
RELATED SCRIPTURES.
Since
Matthew 25:1-13 shows the (4th) Great Tribulation
"
Kingdom of Heaven" is
EXCLUSIVE to the "
ten virgins" then
you would not be expected to know
when it occurred or
what
was the historical fulfillment of Great Tribulation prophecies.
Well it is not the SCriptures or the enormous amount of Old TEstament prophecies concerning teh future Great Tribulation that I disagree with, once again it is your opinions based on whatever drives you that I take a stand against. You are like all other cultists. If one doesn't believe what you say- they are foolish virgins! Once again I await you to show th emasses who agree with your opinion of these passages.

In post 433 you wrote saying teh "kingdom of heaven great tribulation has occurred already! For the wise and foolish virgins, if you understood that Jesus was speaking of the Jewish Wedding System and how it relates to believers, you would have no need for such fantasy interpretations of the passages! OPnce again, it is not the Scriptures I disagree with, but your opinions and conclusions that have no grammatical. exegetical, hermeneutical basis in truth!
Dan 7:14
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
I wish you would look at a concordance or Hebrew or Greek biblical linguistic guide so youwould toss this idea! Men are not a kingdom- they live in a kingdom governed by a king!
Of course you are just PRETENDING if you think I "made-up"
the "Season and Time" after the destruction of Daniel's Fourth
Beast (aka Revelation Beast and Great Tribulation "Kingdom")
since it is written in YOUR BIBLE.
Please do not make the mistake of thinking that Biblical Truth
is limited to what you know. As I have already shown you the
Bible PROMISES the Last Saints (the "wise virgins") would be
preaching "unsealed" mysteries only they "shall understand"
[Dan 12:8-10]
Once agasin , it is not the Scripture passages I disagree with, it is yopur interpretations of them that are faulty! No, I am still learning! And over the years when one has presented a better biblical argument for an idea or doctrine or truth, I have changed my mind many times!
But you are not presenting a biblical argument. You are presenting a SCripture and then rattling off your own interpretation of the Passage. Once again it is impossible to debate when you redefine words
and do not even accept the common definition of words that everyone knows! Words have meanings! That is how we can understand one another because we accept those meanings that have been used for millenia! But when you give new definitions for "amillenial" and "kingdom" and refuse to understand context and history of the writers and the culture they wrote and understood words in- you become just noise!
Still waiting for th elist of all those scholars who actually read you rhypothesis and a list of those who actually agree with you! Most are covenant allegorists so I do expect a ffew to have some agreement with you if they bothered to read it!
But let me give you once again definitions that have been written down because they are understood by (I used to think all but you have showed that concept wrong). They are the same definitiopns that the writers of SCripture used and the men who coined the terms used to define the term
king·dom
/ˈkiNGdəm/

I can't find one single use of anyone saying a kingdom is men!
Amillennialism teaches that the thousand year reign of Christ mentioned in
Revelation 20:1-6 is symbolic of the current church age, rather than a literal future 1000 year reign. It contends that the period described in Revelation 20 was inaugurated (i.e. began) at Christ's resurrection and will continue until His Second Coming. Amillennialism holds that while Christ's reign during the millennium is spiritual in nature, at the end of the church age Christ will return in final judgment and establish a permanent physical reign. Also taught by amillennialism is that the binding of Satan in
Revelation 20:1-3 has already occurred, and means that "he might not deceive the nations any longer" (
Revelation 20:3) by preventing the spread of the gospel.
Now let me ask you directly- Do you hold me to be unsaved as you call me a foolish virgin and a wicked who lacks understanding?
I shall answer nothing else until you answer that implication you made!
