Sign-i-fied.

Sign.

Get it?

Do you drive and think a 15 mph sign means 50?

I say, don't read the signs to be safe.

You are not getting it. There are many literal numbers and details in Scripture: 15=15 and 50=50. What you miss is: the overwhelming symbolic thrust of Revelation. That is why you ignore every question. You have no support for your literalist understanding of 1000 years, that is why you have no corroboration. That is the major weakness in the Premil mode of interpretation. Everything is interpreted through the lens of Revelation 20. Amils do the opposite. They interpret Revelation 20 by the rest of Scripture. Amils let the rest of Scripture explain the symbolic and obscure. That is why they have multiple support passages.

Do you think the spirit world is reality or not?

We can have reality here but they cannot?

The Bible is full of lies and misrepresentations in your thinking.


The preterist(satan's minions) say..."don't worry about hell folks, it aint real. Hell is a metaphor...".

You have no idea how REAL it is after death.

You likely think there is no lake of FIRE in the spirit world that HURTS, right?

I have told you that I am not a Preterist. I am an Idealist.

Hell is real and no one has said otherwise. These false accusations are a smokescreen for your constant avoidance. You have to do that because your error is being exposed.
  1. Do you believe Satan and his minions are physical beings?
  2. Is the dragon in Revelation 20:2 a literal physical dragon?
  3. Is the serpent in Revelation 20:2 a literal physical serpent?
  4. Is the key mentioned in Revelation 20:1 a literal metal door key?
  5. Is the chain mentioned in Revelation 20:1 a literal metal chain?
  6. Is the prison mentioned in Revelation 20:7 a literal brick prison?
  7. Do you believe demons need to be detained in a literal physical prison with literal metal chains in order to be restrained?
  8. Can a prisoner in a prison have great wrath while in chains?
  9. Does imprisonment mean immobility?
  10. Does it mean a prisoner cannot do harm?
  11. Can a dog on a chain walk or roam about?
  12. Can a prisoner in a prison walk or roam about?
  13. Does a prisoner have the ability to kill, steal, destroy, rape and embezzle in prison?

Did you obey this?...

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

LOL. Of course! Did you?

LOL. I provided the evidence, and as usual you avoided every text. That is what you do. That is why it is hard to take your posts serious. Your Schofield approach does not permit you to let the Bible speak for itself. That is why you cut-and-paste all of your answers. You cannot discuss the inspired text. You cannot discuss the glaring holes in your argument. Your ducking around basic questions that expose your thesis is testimony that you are in love with a school of thought rather than the inspired text.

The original Greek uses the word "resurrection" and "risen" multiple times in a spiritual sense to describe the salvation of the sinner. You refuse to accept these or address these. To do so would negate your teaching.

The reader can look back and see how you have an inability to address and exegete passages that forbid what you have been taught. This is why your arguments are crumbling. This is why you run from every debate.
Your continued claim that salvation is a "Spiritual Resurrection" is false

The word "Resurrection" in the Holy Bible is reserved exclusively for the physical resurrection seen throughout scripture

You can repeat your private interpretation "Spiritual Resurrection" all you want, it's not found in scripture

Jesus Is The Lord

Jesus Is The Lord

Your biggest enemy is the Word. We are raised from the dead by His quickening voice. Hello! We are looking at a spiritual resurrection. You know it. That is why you are so sheepish and evasive in your responses.

Two resurrections result for the believer from Christ’s one resurrection. Man needs both spiritually redeemed and physically redeemed. When one gets saved they are spiritually redeemed. But they are not physically redeemed until resurrection day. His “first resurrection” secured both resurrections for those who will put their faith in Christ.

Romans 6:3-6 says, “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up [Gr. egeiro] from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection [Gr. anastasis]: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”

There are two Greek words used in Romans 6:3-10 that are used to describe the resurrection of Christ, and that are significantly in turn purposely equated to the believer and the new birth experience; they are egeiro (Strong’s 1453) and anastasis (Strong’s 386). Such a correlation between these two diverse types of resurrection (physical and spiritual) is only secured through Christ’s sinless life, atoning death and glorious resurrection, enabling the believer to walk in resurrection power and “newness of life.” The believer here is therefore supernaturally transferred from a condition of death into one of life. This undoubtedly relates (1) to a spiritual state, and, (2), to the here in now. It cannot relate to the physical resurrection which is still future and which occurs at the second coming of Christ.

The first word egeiro (Strong’s 1453) is used many times throughout the New Testament to describe the Lord’s physical resurrection. These references are found in Matthew 14:2, 16:21, 17:9, 23, 20:19, 26:32, 27:63, 64, 28:6, 7, Mark 14:28, 16:6, 14, Luke 1:69, 9:22, 24:6, 34, John 2:19, 20, 22, 21:14, Acts 3:15, 4:10, 5:30, 10:40, 13:30, 37, Romans 4:24, 25, 6:4, 9, 7:4, 8:11, 34, 10:9, 1 Corinthians 6:14, 15:4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 2 Corinthians 4:14, 5:15, Galatians 1:1, Ephesians 1:20, Colossians 2:12, 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and 1 Peter 1:21.

Similarly, the other Greek word anastasis (Strong’s 386), which is identified several times in Scripture with the new birth spiritual resurrection is also used several times to describe the Lord’s physical resurrection. It is derived from the root word anistemi (Strong’s 450). These are outlined in Mark 8:31, 9:31, 10:34, 16:9, Luke 18:33, 24:7, 26, John 20:9, Acts 2:24, 31, 32, 3:26, 4:2, 33, 10:41, 13:33, 34, 17:3, 18, 26:23, Romans 15:12, Philippians 3:10 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Peter 1:3, 3:21.

The same two Greek words that are repeatedly employed to describe Christ’s physical resurrection from the dead are also used in Ephesians 5:14 to describe the new birth experience of the believer. The sinner being commanded: Awake [Gr. egeiro] thou that sleepest, and arise [Gr. anastasis] from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light (Ephesians 5:14).

The resurrection portrayed here is again not a physical resurrection, but, a spiritual resurrection in which the recipient (the sinner) receives the joy of salvation. Through this spiritual resurrection, the believer receives the “light” of God and is therefore spared the awful sentence of eternal wrath. The verb “arise” in this text specifically relates to salvation and is a metaphor describing the spiritual resurrection that Christians undergo when they are lifted from the grave of sin. It also demonstrates the blessing that follows this resurrection. The true child of God receives the blessed light of God’s dear Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:34 also records, “Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again [Gr. anastasis or resurrecting] of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against.”

Matthew Henry explains in relation to this passage, “He (Jesus) is set for the rising again of many in Israel, that is, for the conversion of many to God that are dead and buried in sin, and for the consolation of many in God that are sunk and lost in sorrow and despair. Those whom he is set for the fall of may be the same with those whom he is set for the rising again of. He is set eis ptosin kai anastasin - for their fall, in order to their rising again; to humble and abase them, and bring them off from all confidence in themselves, that they may be exalted by relying on Christ; he wounds and then heals, Paul falls, and rises again”

The believer is raised from the grave of his sin and spiritual death at conversion, which of necessity must be a spiritual resurrection. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, “For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth [Gr. egeiro] the dead: Who delivered us (past tense) from so great a death, and doth deliver (present tense): in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us (future tense).”

This whole passage is concentrated upon the great eternal provision of spiritual deliverance. The word “raiseth” in this reading is a present active verb, therefore it is talking about a resurrection that is happening now, rather than the future physical resurrection. This is obviously speaking of spiritual resurrection, because it alone has been ongoing since Christ’s first (physical) resurrection. This will, of course, culminate with the general physical resurrection at His return.

The same word repeatedly applied to Christ’s physical resurrection in the New Testament – egeiro – is here again used spiritually to describe the spiritual resurrection of the believer from the reality of spiritual death. It shows a present realisation and victorious triumph over that state in this testimony of Paul. This reading does not at all indicate that the believer will not experience natural death, no, but rather, that he wouldn’t experience spiritual death. It positively outlines that through the spiritual (or first) resurrection the believer is rescued from entering into the awful realisation of the second death (eternal punishment).

Your continued claim that salvation is a "Spiritual Resurrection" is false

The word "Resurrection" in the Holy Bible is reserved exclusively for the physical resurrection seen throughout scripture

You can repeat your private interpretation "Spiritual Resurrection" all you want, it's not found in scripture

Jesus Is The Lord
Colossians 2:10-14 says, “ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ‘ye are risen with him’ [Gr. sunegeiro] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised [Gr. egeiro] him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened [Gr. suzoopoieo] together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”

This explicit passage describes the act of salvation as a resurrection feat. Moreover, the raising of the forgiven child of God in resurrection power in salvation is in turn carefully identified with, and connected to, Christ’s glorious resurrection. It confirms that our hearts “are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ” in salvation, and likens this supernatural work to a death, burial and resurrection. This reading shows how the child of God is “buried with him,” “quickened together with him,” and finally “risen with him.”

The wording relating to this spiritual resurrection – “ye are risen with him” – is translated from the Greek word sunegeiro (Strong’s 4891), which is derived from the coupling of two other Greek words sun (Strong’s 4862) – denoting union and togetherness, and egeiro (Strong’s 1453), which means to awaken or resurrect from the dead. This word egeiro is constantly used in the New Testament in reference to Christ’s physical resurrection.

Also, the word rendered “quickened” in the above passage is translated from the Greek word suzoopoieo (Strong’s 4806), which is derived from combining the words sun (Strong’s 4862) with zoopoíeo (Strong’s 2227), meaning to make alive, give life and revitalize. Hence, we can see the deep meaning of this word in the aforementioned passage and the essential work that is perfected in the penitent sinner in regeneration.

Many new birth passages in Scripture are surrounded in resurrection terminology. Notwithstanding, they are not in any way referring to a physical resurrection, although, often, using the same type of language that accompanies literal ones. These references repeatedly describe spiritually dead men being spiritually made alive by being first spiritually quickened and then spiritually resurrected from the grave of their sin. This reading plainly outlines how the penitent sinner is raised with the exact same supernatural power that raised Christ at His resurrection, saying, “ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.”

Colossians 3:1-4 goes on to add, If ‘ye then be risen with [Gr. sunegeiro] Christ (speaking in the present tense about those who have experienced spiritual resurrection in Christ), seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear (speaking of the second coming), then shall ye also appear with him in glory (referring to the physical resurrection which is future tense).”

There are two distinct resurrections outlined in this reading, the first being spiritual and the second being physical. The initial resurrection of necessity sees a spiritual change, whereas, the second resurrection of necessity requires a physical change. Interestingly, the Greek word sunegeiro is again used here to describe the spiritual resurrection of the penitent sinner through union with Christ. No one could surely dismiss the current reality of the resurrection outlined at the beginning of the above passage. Moreover, those that have experienced the aforementioned resurrection are then instructed to “seek” and “set their affection” upon “those things which are above” – spiritual actions that are to be performed in this scene of time. The key to experiencing the reality of this current resurrected life is found in the concluding part of the reading that our earthly life is “hid with Christ in God.”

Ephesians 2:1-6 also says, you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, ‘hath quickened us together’ [Gr. suzoopoieo] with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) And hath ‘raised us up together’ [Gr. sunegeiro] and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

The same two Greek words found in Colossians 2:10-14 are also used in this reading to describe the spiritual resurrection. Again, the word rendered “quickened” here in Ephesians 2 is the Greek word suzoopoieo, which indicates a uniting to Christ in mystical union by means of being spiritually revitalized and made alive. The Greek word sunegeiro carries the meaning of union with Christ through resurrection. It is also in the aorist active demonstrating that it relates to the present. All sane theologians know that is not therefore not talking about physical resurrection.

The quickening of the spiritually dead life results in a consequential spiritual resurrection. Resurrection cannot plainly occur unless God in His providence reaches down in supernatural quickening power and imputes spiritual life into a spiritually dead man.

Does 1 Thes 4 and James 2 make us the resurrected firstruits?
No. You are making that up.
Yep, then there are 2 sets of firstfruits per your logic.
Christ Himself is the firstfruits of the dead in Christ. The firstfruits James referred to were the believing Jews of the first century. You are clueless.

What debate? Count how many time 1000 years is mentioned in this passage.....

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

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.

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

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, ...


....and you still don't believe it.

That is spiritual brain freeze.
You are making a fool of yourself here. No matter how many times a figurative term is used, it's still figurative. The beast is referenced over 30 times in the book of Revelation. Does that make it a literal beast? Of course not. So, the "thousand years' being referenced 6 times does not mean that it's literal. Your brain is the one that is frozen.

You would first need to know the difference between “WITH” and “IN”.

Then you would need to read and study the Scriptures that reveal;
WHO Jesus IS.
WHO Christ IS.

Study requires reading IN CONTEXT what is spoken…

WITH Jesus………….10 times in Scripture.
IN Jesus………………..3 times in Scripture.
WITH Christ…………..9 times in Scripture
IN Christ………………..35+ times in Scripture.
WITH Jesus Christ…0 times in Scripture.
WITH Christ Jesus…0 times in Scripture.
IN Jesus Christ………4 times in Scripture.
IN Christ Jesus……...40 times in Scripture.

WISDOM is Spiritual UNDERSTANDING of the EXPRESS difference of the Revealed Word of God.

Carnal BELIEF is one thing.
Heartful BELIEF is another thing.
Carnal “CONFESSION” of Belief is one thing.
Heartful “CONFESSION” of Belief is another thing.

I have ZERO requirement to ARGUE “with you” EXPRESS Scriptural Speech.
You want to REJECT EXPRESS Scriptural Speech…..
Argue that point with the Author of Scripture….who expressly says:
“IN” Jesus… 3 times.
“IN” Christ… 35+ times.
“IN” Jesus Christ…4 times.
“IN” Christ Jesus…40 times.
LOL. The pure nonsense continues from you. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Jesus is the Christ. You're acting like Jesus and Christ are not the same or something. Ridiculous. Stop resorting to this foolishness and start accepting what scripture actually teaches.

No. That is a false accusation.
Scripture itself EXPRESSES IN CONTEXT the delineations of KNOWLEDGE and applicability of the EXPRESS KNOWLEDGE and the EXPRESS TIMING of WHEN the MANIFESTATION of the KNOWLEDGE shall come to pass.

Knowledge, Belief, Conversion of a man, is one thing, specific to THAT ONE MAN.
Manifestation of the Lord God’s Promises “coming to pass” is another thing.

You preaching CONVERTED MEN, Shall be ON Earth in the last days WHEN God is sending HIS WRATH UPON the Earth and it’s inhabitants….IS NOT TAUGHT in Scripture.

You preaching your “round about implication” that Christ Jesus the Lord IS PRESENTLY the SITTING KING, ruling the kings of THIS PRESENT WORLD….is NOT TAUGHT IN Scripture….and ANYONE WITH EYES can SEE and EARS can HEAR….the “kings” OF THIS WORLD ARE NOT “speaking OR acting” UNDER the RULE of Christ Jesus….
( WHOM, HAS NOT YET BECOME SEATED ON His EARTHLY THRONE…to CONDUCT “with His Authority, AND His Word, AND Power…
RULERSHIP OVER the “kings” of this world FOR 1,000 YEARS.)
More nonsense. You are blatantly contradicting passages like this:

Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

To be a king and to be ruling over people is NOT dependent on their obedience. He is the king of all people and rules over them whether they obey Him and acknowledge Him or not.

I assume you're an American? The current POTUS is Joe Biden. Let's assume you don't like his policies and didn't vote for him. Does that mean he's not your President? No, he's still your President and governing over you whether you like it or not. So, your reasoning regarding Jesus's current status as King is terribly flawed.

James says we are firstfruits here....


18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Now, are you a firstfruit too?

Yes or no?
No, not in the sense that James was talking about. You didn't bother to check and see who he was addressing in his letter.

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

James was talking about Jewish believers in "the twelve tribes scattered among the nations". They were the firstfruits. You need to dig deeper for the truth. I don't know why you are calling yourself "Truther" when you don't put much effort into finding the truth.

It seems like whatever angle you examine the second coming it appears to be climactic, final and glorious.
From the angle of what is actually Written in the Bible, there will be a thousand years of the benign reign of Jesus as King over the world.
Over mortal people on the existing earth.

After that Millennium, Satan will have a short season, then comes the Great White Throne Judgment ad finally the Eternal, Spiritual state.
Rejection of this scenario, is a rejection of the Words of Jesus. Revelation 1:1

6 times, a thousand or the thousand years is mentioned in 6 verses, and you think it means ten thousand or maybe ten days or whatever, etc?

I thought the book was off limits to changing its meanings per this....


...
...... If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


I guess "Metaphors of Revelation" is your new title for the book?
LOL. Such nonsense. You are trying to apply Rev 22:19 to someone who is interpreting something as a metaphor within a book that contains many metaphors? Get serious. Also, that verse is talking about someone PURPOSELY taking away or adding to the prophecy in the book and no one is doing that.

Sign.

Get it?
You clearly don't get it.

Do you drive and think a 15 mph sign means 50?

I say, don't read the signs to be safe.
You completely missed the point. You obviously don't know what the word "signified" means.

signified (noun): the meaning or idea expressed by a sign, as distinct from the physical form in which it is expressed.

For a message to be signified means that physical symbols and metaphors are used to real things including spiritual realities. That is how the book of Revelation was written. It has many symbols and metaphors. That should be obvious.

How can mortal people inherit the kingdom in light of what Paul said here:

1 Corinthians 15:50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

No, he's still your President and governing over you whether you like it or not. So, your reasoning regarding Jesus's current status as King is terribly flawed.
Ruler of kings of the earth…..?
…kings of the earth are mortal men…
Really, you think Christ Jesus is ruling over the kings of the earth NOW?
LOL…Not hardly.
The kings of this earth are all in a CORRUPT LEAGUE (ie the UN), one with the other, plotting and devising Agendas to KILL the Majority of the world’s population…..And you think Jesus IS RULING OVER THEM, “doing nothing about their corruption”?

You are in error. Christ Jesus has NOT YET, claimed His Inheritance (Land and Kingdom and Throne) and IS NOT presently ruling over the kings of the Earth.

His Inheritance is established…..just as men establish who they shall give an inheritance to……However an inheritance is not in possession of the “one who SHALL inherit” Until they Receive it!

Presently Christ Jesus IS HEAD OVER HIS CHURCH, which consists of men on Earth, Converted “IN” Christ, and departed souls and spirits of men who bodily died “IN” Christ.

How can mortal people inherit the kingdom in light of what Paul said here:

1 Corinthians 15:50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Mortal people do not INHERIT Gods Kingdom, nor Christ’s Kingdom.

Mortal (believing) people shall occupy their own earthly nations, under their own mortal kings, WHILE Christ Jesus shall occupy His Earthly Kingdom, as KING of kings, for 1,000 years.
