I posted all of these translations of Rev 20:4 because these help us to understand how TIME given mankind whereby, we MUST be saved is what a/the thousand years symbolizes. Not ONE thousand literal years that shall be after Christ comes again. But TIME that runs from the first advent of Christ...

Perhaps you might care to give an explanation for how those martyred saints of vs 4 who have lived and reigned with Christ "a thousand years", and the blessed and holy saints of vs 6 that shall reign with Christ a thousand years also? There is only mention of a/the thousand years, how can these...

That's a poor translation of the verse. Why would those who died in Christ, already possessing everlasting life through Him need to be "brought back to life"? It is typically the newer modern translations of the Bible that translate this verse as though the life that Christ gives whosoever...

Jo 5:28-29 is NOT the only passage proving ONE general resurrection. There are many verses telling us the dead IN CHRIST shall be resurrected on the last day. (see Jo 6 for one proof text) Of those who have died without Christ, they too according to Scripture shall be resurrected when the last...

While I agree with much of what you say, but I believe Christ when He tells us that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die. John 11:24-26 (KJV) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection...

CTK, you must prove from the Scriptures what you allege. If you cannot, then this is simply your opinion. I cannot/will not accept an opinion from any man unless his opinions can be supported from the Word of God. Prove that when a man in Christ breathes his last, his living spirit, as living...

Are you a universalist? Do you believe that ALL humanity without exception shall be saved?

If this is true, why does Christ say whoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die? Since Christ knew, every mortal body is destined to die, how can all who believe in Him have everlasting life through Him? How does man's spirit return to God who gave it after our body has died? Is our...

I'm reminded of the words of Paul, saying "unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law" (1Co 9:20). Why would Paul, a Jew, feel the need to become as a Jew since he is a Jew? Yet...

Be careful that you don't confuse the promise of God to the natural seeds of Abraham (promised land), conditioned on their faithfulness, with the unconditional promise of God through the SEED (Christ) to Abraham's seeds according to grace through faith.

Until they heard the Gospel proclaimed and believed in Christ, they believed salvation came through obedience to the Law. They were in partial blindness until they knew Christ came and fulfilled all the Law of Old demanded. Even though Jews of faith in Christ continued to be zealous of the...

It has vanished for all who turn to Christ for everlasting life. Why would one turn again to the repetitive Old Covenant after Christ the true High Priest has come and fulfilled all that the Law demanded?

Just as Gentiles, being foreign to the mercies of God through Christ, received mercy through the Gospel first proclaimed to them by the Jews, so too those of Israel, then/now in blindness of the mercy that comes through Christ can also turn to the merciful Christ for everlasting life as Gentiles...

Those Jews of Old who turned to Christ when He came, although knowing that by His death Christ fulfilled all that was required according to the Law. Even Paul continued to keep the Law (at least partially). He says that to the Jew he became a Jew, that he might win some of them to Christ...

The Scriptures tell us that when Christ comes the second time, His coming will be like a thief in the night to those who are not of the day but of the night. It is now during this age, as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is being sent unto all the nations of the world that man MUST be saved...

It might help you to better understand the mystery revealed since the advent of Christ, if you look at greater context and other passages that speak of the same mystery. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. This is something new, because in times past the message of the Gospel (coming of Christ...

Because Israel in blindness believed that salvation was exclusively for the Jews. Paul speaking to Israel and to us is basically saying, not so fast! Salvation if for whosoever is of faith, whether they are Jew or Gentile. And in fact the blindness in part to Israel of the flesh shall...

I agree Covenantee!

Christian Gedge does not agree with projecting the 70th week into the distant future. Pg 54 The Atonement Clock "At this point, it is necessary to clear up a misunderstanding concerning the 70th week. It has been widely taught by modern preachers and popular books that the ‘coming prince’...

Very subjective reasoning, without biblical support. If the first 483 years are literally weeks of literal seven day periods of time, why would you try to push the final seven-day one week into some vague unknown 3 1/2 days/weeks/unknown time ? of whatever into the future?
