    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The Covenant God gave to the seeds of Abraham regarding the land of promise was fulfilled when Joshua led the nation into Canaan and divided the land by lot. There is not one promise from God to Israel that has not already been fulfilled. The promise of God to the seeds of Abraham has already...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Satan cannot enter into the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven, but he can enter into the place that is the representation of the Kingdom of God physically on this earth. That place of course is corporately called the Church. The assembly of saints is where Satan seeks to do his best work...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Because a thousand years symbolizes time that began with the first advent of Christ and will not be finished until the seventh trumpet begins to sound. That's when the thousand years, symbolizing time during this Gospel age of grace is finished, and Satan is set free from his pit. Time...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Christ is NOW ruling from Jerusalem! Jerusalem from above, not a physical kingdom on this earth, but heavenly Jerusalem that is above. After He was resurrected Christ ascended up to heaven and was seen by witnesses going into heaven. There He was given dominion, glory and a KINGDOM, that ALL...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Yes, it is speaking of a thousand years! Not ONE thousand years, but a thousand years that symbolically represents this age of preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that the spiritual Kingdom of God shall be complete as multitudes NOW in this age come into the spiritual Kingdom of God by...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    None of this is proof that Satan is not currently bound. It is proof that evil is alive and well as it always has been. Satan is not bound so the world will be at peace. Satan is now bound that he can no longer deceive the nations (Gentiles). Since evil and evil people will not be eradicated...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    What about those who have part in the first resurrection and have overcome the second death? It is true all mankind is appointed "once to die" physically, so how do you explain everlasting life all who have been born again of the Spirit of Christ within?

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    When we have been given everlasting life through Christ when we are born again through the Spirit, will we be taken to heaven DEAD? What part of us goes to heaven? It's not our flesh that returns to dust, so what part of us is taken to heaven, and why would whatever you think goes to heaven go...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The binding of Satan is during TIME given this earth for building the spiritual Kingdom of God through the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit. The problem for premillennialists is they refuse to believe "a thousand years" symbolizes TIME that began with the first advent of Christ...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    How can Satan be free since the advent of Christ's cross and resurrection since the spiritual Kingdom of God has, since the cross and resurrection, grown into a great innumerable multitude through all who have been born again through the Spirit of Christ within? If the spiritual Kingdom of God...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    I would say this is written to show the beginning of something. That something being the Church as She is the representation of the spiritual Kingdom of God physically upon the earth. The spiritual Kingdom of God began to grow as new converts heard the Gospel of the Kingdom of God preached and...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Yes, the dead in Christ shall be physically resurrected from the graves in an hour coming (Jo 5:28-29), when the last trumpet sounds (1Cor 15:51-54) they shall be caught up physically in the air and shall then be with the Lord forevermore. Will we remain in the air with the Lord forevermore...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I agree fully with all you have said, until you say the above. Are you suggesting that Christ will come again a sacrificial offering for sin? When He comes again it won't be as our offering for sin, it will be as Judge!

    Matthew 24

    Christ was not talking of all those living in the first century belonging to Israel. Speaking to His disciples living then, speaking to and about them, Christ says, "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Christ says this to them right after speaking to them a...

    Matthew 24

    Not so! "This generation" is the "chosen generation" that shall NEVER pass, not even after all these things have been fulfilled! 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath...

    Matthew 24

    Sola Scriptura doesn't mean historical fulfillment tells us nothing at all! Even the Bible itself gives us the story of redemptive history. How would we even know of the reformation movement were it not for the historical writings the reformers have penned for us? The second coming of Christ...

    Matthew 24

    Futurists are devoid of understanding that the message from Christ was of greater importance to the first century Christian disciples than any other time on earth. Because they had to understand to survive the great tribulation that would begin that must continue to be carried on toward...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    That's because dead flesh has no life at all. But man is more than flesh, they also possess a breath of life which is man's spirit. It is not the flesh of man that returns to God, it is the spirit of man that returns to God. And if our spirit has eternal/everlasting life through the Spirit of...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Do a study of abomination and desolation to try to understand how Old Covenant Israel had abomination that made Her a desolation unto God long before the first advent of Christ. We are called to understand, have knowledge of, and know what abomination that makes desolate is if we are to have...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I didn't say eido never means visibly seeing. I said the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel does not mean visibly seeing. If that were the case the word "shall see" would have been translated from the Greek word optánomai which means to see something with eyes wide open, looking at...
