Israel

[Truth7t7]

Also it is not the entrance of the eternal order but the end of the 7 year tribulation when the Lord physically returns to earth to establish the millennial kingdom.

Jesus Christ warned his followers against your teaching, Jesus won't be found anyplace on this earth as is falsely claimed

"Believe It Not" "Go Not Forth"!

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.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

[Scott Downey]

The return of Christ means the complete everlasting destruction of all those who are not of the Father, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them. There is no one left alive who is not of God, all of them are gone to the place appointed for them. We will have no interaction with any of them dealt with in this manner by God. They are ashes under our feet in the Day of the Lord.​

God’s Final Judgment and Glory​

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and [a]tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you,

7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

And you carelessly mix both Jesus physical return to establish HIs kingdom and Gods destruction of the earth after the 1000 years are accomplished!

You do not believe in a n individual antichrist as the bible teaches, so what else in Eschatology has someone led you astray on?

You deny an earthly kingdom

YOu deny gods promises to the nation of Israel

I suppose you deny the rebuilding of the temple.

I suppose you deny a physical mark of the beast also.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Jesus Christ warned his followers against your teaching, Jesus won't be found anyplace on this earth as is falsely claimed

"Believe It Not" "Go Not Forth"!

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.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Well as I do not believe Jesus will return in those manners your false accusation is irrelavent.

But I do believe this:

Acts 1:9-11

King James Version

​

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Matthew 25:31-46

King James Version

​

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Revelation 1:7
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Yes, Christ comes on the clouds at His return
The second set of verses is the judgement, which does not take place on any kind of earth
The throne of His glory is in Heaven where Christ sits at the right hand of God.
And the judgement includes the just and the unjust. So it is the resurrection and the Last Day, before new heavens and new earth.

Logically this sounds like the great white throne judgement, which we are present at but not judged as all believers are passed from death into life and will not come under judgement. We are shown like examples of God's goodness towards those He justifies by their faith and who have born good fruit, while the unrighteous wicked have no good fruit and are destroyed.

 

[Scott Downey]

What is the REGENERATION...

27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [a]or wife or children or [b]lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

It is also getting our eternal inheritance, Jesus told us the meek shall inherit the earth.
Course it will be a new earth where there is no evil taint remaining.
And the Prescence of God is on the new earth. Recall He also walked in Eden before the fall, and everything was very good.
So then logically the new creation is the regeneration
re·gen·er·a·tion
[rēˌjenəˈrāSHən]
noun

1. the action or process of regenerating or being regenerated, in particular the formation of new animal or plant tissue:

 

[Truth7t7]

And you carelessly mix both Jesus physical return to establish HIs kingdom and Gods destruction of the earth after the 1000 years are accomplished!

Jesus won't return and walk on this earth as you falsely claim, he returns in fire dissolving the earth in final judgement (The End)

You do not believe in a n individual antichrist as the bible teaches, so what else in Eschatology has someone led you astray on?

I fully believe in a future literal human man that is described as the (man of sin) (the beast)

You deny an earthly kingdom

YOu deny gods promises to the nation of Israel

There won't be a millennial kingdom on this earth, it will be dissolved by fire as you've been shown several times

I suppose you deny the rebuilding of the temple.

I believe a 3rd temple will be built and animal sacrifice resumed, all a abomination to the cross of Calvary

I suppose you deny a physical mark of the beast also.

I believe in a future mark of the beast will take place on the right hand-forehead, also the will worship his imaga

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Revelation 1:7

Logic means little
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

at His physical return at the end of the campaign of Armeggedon, there will be wailing and mourning.

Jesus returns to defeat the antichrist rright before He establishes His thousand year kingdom on earth.

Dozens of OT verses prove this as well as 1 Cor. 15. Jesus doesn't come after the 1000 years, He is already here.

It is not the great white throne judgmement. That is for the lost!

Remember REv. 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.

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.

OT saints have been resurrected, the dead in christ were resurrected at the rapture, those who didn't take the mark are resurrected before the millennial kingdom, so that leaves just the lost!

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

The Sheep/Goats judgement is nothing more than a "Parable" of the final Great White Throne Judgement

Try reading verse 46 that shows the "Final Judgement"!

1.) Wicked Goats, Everlasting Punishment
2.) Righteous Sheep, Eternal Life

Matthew 25:46KJV
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

But you cannot believe there is anyone left alive who does not know God or does not obey the gospel when He returns on that Day.
As there are some who say the millennial reign includes the unbelievers and the unjust with the saints ruling over them and the nations.

 

[Scott Downey]

Peter allows for no millennial 1000 year reign before the new earth and new heaven.
You would think if it existed, it would be mentioned.
To allow for this some people have seperated the return of Christ from the Day of the Lord, but there is no justification for that.
And it something we are to look forward to happening, not happening after 1000 years.

Christ says His return is as a thief, He comes when you do not expect, Paul calls this a sudden destruction which none can escape.

The Day of the Lord​

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Be Steadfast​

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

 

[Scott Downey]

Paul's teaching on the Day of the Lord allows for no millenial reign, but a sudden destruction, same as Peter.
And as Peter says, something we in this old earth are to be looking forward to as in soberly watching and waiting for it to happen.
1 Thess 5

The Day of the Lord​

1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore [b]comfort each other and [c]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

 

[Scott Downey]

Yeah, I know this can be challenging to change your mind. Years ago, I believed all the Left Behind fiction and millennial reign and the pre-trib rapture, all of that is very popular teaching. But as I learned from scripture, I did not find the evidence to support that. It takes time to sort out all of this. Jesus also makes no such mention of such. All you find is a mention in prophetic book, and all prophecies are meant to be interpreted.

 

[Scott Downey]

Jesus teaches on the great tribulation and Hs second coming where he comes on the clouds, and says heaven and earth will pass away​

Total agreement with Peter and Paul​

The Great Tribulation​

14 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ [f]spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 And pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

21 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the [g]elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

The Coming of the Son of Man​

24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His [h]elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

The Parable of the Fig Tree​

28 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that [i]it is near—at the doors! 30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

 

[Truth7t7]

But you cannot believe there is anyone left alive who does not know God or does not obey the gospel when He returns on that Day.
As there are some who say the millennial reign includes the unbelievers and the unjust with the saints ruling over them and the nations.

Their Millennial Kingdom On Earth Is A Fairy Tale, Found No Place In Scripture

Luke 17:29-30 below destroys all teachings of a future mortal kingdom on earth after the second coming of Jesus Christ "GONE"!

(Destroyed Them All)

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I Agree 100% I was stuck in the same as I went to Calvary Chapels in So Cal. when I was first saved and every Friday night they played the scare movie "A Thief In The Night" depicting a scary pre-trib rapture, with those left behind running from the antichrist death squads "Fake News"

The verse that challenged me on a pre-trib rapture was 2 Thess 2:3 below that teaches the Church will be present on earth to see the (Man Of Sin) revealed, while pre-trib teaches the Church is gone "Wrong"!

2 Thessalonians 2:3KJV
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

ETERNAL FORGIVENESS was not available for anyone until after the price was paid for on the cross.

I believe the Cross is a timeless event anchored in chronological time. So Abraham found Eternal forgiveness through the Cross which was to come.

The Sheep/Goats judgement is nothing more than a "Parable" of the final Great White Throne Judgement

Try reading verse 46 that shows the "Final Judgement"!

1.) Wicked Goats, Everlasting Punishment
2.) Righteous Sheep, Eternal Life

Matthew 25:46KJV
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Sorry, but you are forgetting that Jesus just came back to earth after teh tribulation.

He is judging the survivors of the tribulation (that is the context here.) And yes He is comparing the righteous and lost as sheep and goats, it is not a parable. It is a judgment of the living and not the dead.

You forget all teh OT promises God made to the nation of Israel to have a kingdom on earth and rule over the gentiles and David raised to rule as King under Jesus.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Jesus returns in fire and final judgment dissolving this earth by fire (The End) as you've been shown several times

No, He comes to establish teh kingdom long promised to Israel. Acts 1 confirms this.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Jesus did not say- Israel would not have the kingdom restored, He only said it was not for the Apostles to know the when as that was in the Fathers hands.
