Indisputable proof that the Premillennial theory contradicts Scripture

[covenantee]

Peter's remark isn't intended to give his readers a full and complete picture of the Day of the Lord. There is more to it than that.

It is full and complete, as whatever is "more than that" is incinerated.

Nor is it a "remark".

It is the most detailed of multiple verses throughout the chapter which deal with the topic.

 

[covenantee]

I agree. However we disagree over what Paul said and who he identified. I already gave you two posts defending my contention that Paul is talking about Natural born Israel. Your view that Paul is talking about any other group than his own nation is not justified.

I've been perfectly clear that "all Israel" and "of Israel" are two different groups within literal Israel.

 

[covenantee]

The weight that rests heavily on his heart stems from the troubling perception that God has failed to uphold His promise to His chosen nation.

Quote the verse(s) demonstrating Paul's "troubling perception that God has failed to uphold His promise to His chosen nation."

 

[Scott Downey]

I'm at least glad you never used verse 8 to explain verse 7. In the past I have seen others actually do so.

Actually then, I agree that what Jesus meant by times and seasons likely involves the DOTL. But in what way would the DOTL involve restoring again the kingdom to Israel? Well, except you apparently don't think He is going to do that, period. In that case I disagree, since I tend to think some of Ezekiel 38 and 39 is involving the DOTL, it would be once He executes His judgment on Gog and his multitude during the DOTL. Which then eventually results in what the last verse in Ezekiel 39 says---Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. This last verse can't be true until the following verses are true first.

Ezekiel 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward

Some try and apply Acts 1:8 to Ezekiel 39:29, except Ezekiel 39:29 can't come to pass until verse 21 and 22 are fulfilled first. We have to keep in mind that Ezekiel 38 and 39 involve prophecies, and that prophesies typically involve chronology. And that the chronology has to make sense. No way to make sense of the chronology in Ezekiel 38-39 if Ezekiel 39:29 isn't true until Ezekiel 39:21-21 is true first, then some insisting verse 29 was already fulfilled 2000 years earlier. That renders the texts nonsensical when the idea is to make sense out of the texts instead.

You know the chapter and verse numbers are all artificial? They were added many years after the letters were written by the original authors.

About the Day of the Lord, 1 Thess 4 runs straight on into 1 Thess 5
When read without chapter numbers, you can see when Christ returns it is the DOTL

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming​

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen [b]asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who [c]sleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

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.

 

[WPM]

this is typical boast from a proud person.

Go back to your first post. read this whole thread. many have rebutted your so called facts.

anyone. i am done with you. Your to proud.. I will add you with your two brothers to my prayer bin good day

No, I call your false accusations out, and you don't like it.

 

[WPM]

Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?


Which Israel do you think this is referring to? Keeping in mind the text says 'restore again' something that couldnn't possibly apply to the church, as in 'restore again the kingdom to the church. Which then implies that the church was in possession of the kingdom at one time, then lost that possession and now needs the kingdom restored to it again. And BTW, restore again seems to imply something was already restored earlier, then taken away eventually, thus needs restored yet again. And if so, that fits the church exactly how?

IOW, make sense of Acts 1:6 for us.

No. The disciples were always literalizing spiritual truth. Jesus answered them, describing the great commission. That was how the kingdom was manifested to Israel, and then revealed to the nations.

 

[WPM]

Yes, the Israel who is of God gets saved, as God saves His family.
Cain was of the Devil and look what Cain did.

Romans 8

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren (brothers).

Ephesians 3
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [f]of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of [a]God! Therefore the world does not know [b]us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

God gives to His Son His children, (Hebrews 2:13 “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”), that they were the Fathers before giving them to Christ as believers points to them as being chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, before time began, God knew us. Just like God says of Jeremiah, so this is not just a new concept of the New Covenant. This is one of the deep things of God.

The Prophet Is Called​

4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:

“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:

“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

John 17

6 “I have [c]manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

Ephesians 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He [a]made us accepted in the Beloved.


2 Timothy 1
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher [c]of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Well put!

I don't disagree with you about those 2 chapters 4 and 5. I'm not a Pretribber. My view of Ezekiel 38-39 is that Christ returns during those events and that it is during the DOTL that He executes His judgment on Gog and his multitude. IOW, I see Ezekiel 39:17-20 involving the same events Revelation 19 is involving.

I know. glad you are so.
What also happens on the DOTL is what Peter tells us
Same day as when Christ returns
Christ is always referred to as coming as a thief, coming at a time when you do not know or expect.
When Christ returns, there is a sudden destruction.

2 Peter 3

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.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

The post I made before this one might explain how I'm trying to see some of this. I'm almost afraid to ask, lol. What are your thoughts on that post?

You were right to be afraid to ask. You won't be surprised by this, but I don't think much at all of that post. It does not match what Peter and Paul taught about the day of the Lord and I am certain that they both understood the OT, including Ezekiel 38-39, much better than either of us do. Does it not concern you at all that NT authors like Paul and Peter did not write one single thing that could be construed as supporting Premill? Why do you think that you understand the OT better than they did? Surely, if they had the same understanding of the OT as you do, then they would have written things that support Premill. But, they did not.

It would be something if you actually surprised me for once and admitted that maybe I'm on to something here.

I absolutely would do that if you actually were on to something there, but the problem is that your interpretation of that passage does not at all match what Peter and Paul said about the day of the Lord. So, tell me how you can reconcile the following passages with your understanding of the day of the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

2 Peter 3:10 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.

Does your understanding of the day of the Lord involve it coming unexpectedly as a thief in the night while bringing "sudden destruction" by fire on the entire earth from which those in spiritual darkness "shall not escape"? It sure doesn't seem like it. Do you think Paul and Peter knew what they were talking about when it comes to the day of the Lord or not? It sure doesn't seem like it.

Except you are not good at surprising anyone the fact you appear to have no experience surprising anyone.

LOL. I probably surprised some when I switched from being Premill to Amill years ago and when I switched from believing there would be some future individual Antichrist to no longer believing that. You think I'm closed minded, but I have changed my view on things before. But, it becomes less likely for that to happen after you've studied scripture for so long as I have. What do you think, that I should never make up my mind about what I believe about anything? That's nonsense. Should I be open to the possibility that Jesus didn't actually die and rise again from the dead?

IOW, I already know in advance how you are going to react to what I post before you react to it. That unless you already agreed with me to begin with, you are pretty much going to reject everything I have concluded.

LOL. I could say the same to you. You could surprise me and acknowledge that your doctrine doesn't match what is written in 1 Thess 5:2-4 and 2 Peter 3:10-13, but I know you will not.

Oh, people can eventually put 2 and 2 together, and change their mind, you did too. I have slowly changed mine about various scriptural things. I realized years ago I had been mislead by the Left behind doctrines, made me glad for not believing all that nonsense, as when you actually look at it yourself you can see how strange a teaching it all is.

 

[soberxp]

I don't think the fire is really melting everything on earth. I think it's expressing the fact that God's word can melt anyone's mind and heart.

(John 10:10)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

 

[CadyandZoe]

It is full and complete, as whatever is "more than that" is incinerated.

I respectfully disagree based on my study of all the "Day of the Lord" passages in the Bible.

Nor is it a "remark".

Emotional much?

It is the most detailed of multiple verses throughout the chapter which deal with the topic.

Your argument seems to center around a single verse, which appears to be extracted from its broader context. This approach risks overlooking the comprehensive message and teachings found throughout the entirety of the Biblical text. By focusing solely on that one verse, the richness and depth of the overall Biblical narrative may be diminished, leading to interpretations that may not fully align with the intended meaning conveyed in various passages. It's essential to consider the holistic perspective of scripture to gain a more accurate understanding of its teachings and implications.

 

[CadyandZoe]

I've been perfectly clear that "all Israel" and "of Israel" are two different groups within literal Israel.

Okay, then what reason does Paul give for why God isn't keeping his promise to grant eternal life to "each man and his neighbor"?

 

[covenantee]

Your argument seems to center around a single verse

I said "multiple verses". Is that too difficult for you to understand?

Your argument attempts to deny everything written by Peter about the subject in the chapter.

 

[covenantee]

Okay, then what reason does Paul give for why God isn't keeping his promise to grant eternal life to "each man and his neighbor"?

Quote the verse in which "God isn't keeping His promise".

 

[CadyandZoe]

Quote the verse(s) demonstrating Paul's "troubling perception that God has failed to uphold His promise to His chosen nation."

Wow. Really? Did you not read verse 6?

Romans 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed.​

Paul is speaking to his Jewish readers who are hearing objections to Paul's teaching concerning Christ. The implied objection is this: "Paul, your teaching about Jesus is false because God promised to bless all of his people with rebirth." Paul sets out to clarify how and when God will fulfill his promise to bless each son of Jacob with eternal life.

Those who focus on the middle of chapter 9 at the neglect of the rest of his argument will get the wrong idea. Paul isn't arguing against the OT, as if to say that God fully intended to bless some while neglecting others. Instead, Paul argues that God's promise to give eternal life to "each man and his neighbor" will take place after he has brought all the Gentiles into the church.

If God does not bless each man and his neighbor with eternal life as he said, then God's word has failed.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”​

The passage referenced highlights the specific promise that the Apostle Paul is addressing. Importantly, this promise has not yet been fully realized. To date, God has not established a covenant with both the House of Judah and the House of Israel, which would entail inscribing His laws upon their hearts and minds. This signifies a profound and transformative relationship where individuals would inherently understand and adhere to God’s guidance. Additionally, the notion that every person, along with their immediate neighbor, will possess a direct knowledge of the Lord remains unfulfilled, suggesting that a significant spiritual awakening and communal understanding are still to come. This sets the stage for future events that could bring about a deeper connection between God and His people.

This concept is so significant and important that Paul spends three chapters explaining it in detail.

 

[CadyandZoe]

I said "multiple verses". Is that too difficult for you to understand?

Your argument attempts to deny everything written by Peter about the subject in the chapter.

I do not neglect what Peter said. I understand what Peter said in light of all the other passages of the Bible that speak on the same subject.

 

[CadyandZoe]

Yes, the Israel who is of God gets saved, as God saves His family.
Cain was of the Devil and look what Cain did.

Romans 8

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren (brothers).

Ephesians 3
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [f]of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of [a]God! Therefore the world does not know [b]us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

God gives to His Son His children, (Hebrews 2:13 “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”), that they were the Fathers before giving them to Christ as believers points to them as being chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, before time began, God knew us. Just like God says of Jeremiah, so this is not just a new concept of the New Covenant. This is one of the deep things of God.

The Prophet Is Called​

4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:

“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:

“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

John 17

6 “I have [c]manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

Ephesians 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He [a]made us accepted in the Beloved.


2 Timothy 1
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher [c]of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Your post doesn't address the issue, lacking anything to say about God's promise to Paul's nation.

 

[covenantee]

Wow. Really? Did you not read verse 6?

Instead, Paul argues that God's promise to give eternal life to "each man and his neighbor" will take place after he has brought all the Gentiles into the church.

If God does not bless each man and his neighbor with eternal life as he said, then God's word has failed.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”​

This concept is so significant and important that Paul spends three chapters explaining it in detail.

The Jeremiah passage is quoted virtually verbatim in Hebrews 8:8-12. Why did you ignore it?
It is prefaced by Hebrews 8:6 and concluded by Hebrews 8:13:
Hebrews 8
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Both verses are expressed in the past and present tenses, signifying that what lies between them was true and fulfilled when written.

It became and becomes true and fulfilled for every Jew who received and receives salvation through Christ's New Covenant and Blood.
Which began 2,000 years ago at Calvary.
