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

    I am praying "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" because I long for the Kingdom of God that is NOW in this age within me, but incomplete, to be filled completely with all who shall be saved and then the Kingdom of God shall come down from heaven to the new earth...

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

    The Kingdom of God is within you, and when His Kingdom is within you, through His Spirit you have come into the paradise of God. Christ instructs us to pray for this to come because the Kingdom of God within us must be complete before Christ shall come again. Is that not something to look...

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

    The wonderful thing about being a child of God is knowing that when my flesh breathes its last, I shall still be alive with my Lord. If my hope were in this life only, I would be most miserable, knowing that mortal death shall take me from my Lord, because NONE shall be physically resurrected...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    God predestinating any man to hell? What a lack of Biblical knowledge this statement shows. Did God force Adam & Eve to disobey Him, or did they freely choose to disobey Him? God created them "very good", and still they of their own free will chose to listen to the voice of evil and eat from...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    All Israel is completed by Gentiles being grafted in together with them, and together they are "the Israel of God." All Israel is not an ethnic people but all people of faith.

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    Though it speaks of the remnant of Old saved, there shall be an innumerable multitude from all nations of the earth that shall be saved. I've often wondered if "the remnant" applies to all nations, and together the whole becomes the innumerable multitude? But this could simply be me having...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    It seems it's important to you Pinseeker? Paul does not contradict himself, speaking of his kinsmen according to the flesh, Paul writes, "only the remnant shall be saved." You can read the words of Paul anyway you like, but that does not change the FACT that Paul does not say after the...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    The real problem I find with the opinion of a mass conversion of ethnic Jews after the last Gentile has been saved is how to reconcile that with Paul saying more than once that only the remnant of Jews would be saved? Since the advent of Christ, Jews, like every other ethnic people of the earth...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    I've already shown you from the Scriptures why there cannot be a mass conversion of ethnic Jews to Christ after the fullness of the Gentiles have come into the Kingdom of God. Do you not agree the mystery hidden of old and made known in the new was that Gentiles would complete the Kingdom of God?

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    How many times must I tell you that I agree with you? I know that anastasis is a bodily/physical resurrection from the dead! That's why in life, before we physically die, we MUST have part in the bodily/physical resurrection life through Christ to overcome the second death. Because Christ is...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Yet, God spoke all things in heaven and earth into existence in 6 days! Consider what John writes regarding the sounding of the seventh/last trumpet. John writes in the day(s) of the voice of the seventh angel. I don't know how you read this, but I'm inclined to believe that days (plural)...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Christ's first coming ushered in this period of time symbolized a thousand years. A time when Satan is bound and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is sent unto all the nations of the world that the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven might be complete. This is the time period Isa 65 pertains to...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    The problem with your reasoning David is that you are trying to force the NHNE to come down in TIME, that you think will be one thousand literal years. The NHNE don't come down until after TIME shall be no longer. The day of the Lord's coming will be accompanied by the heavens passing away...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    You've got this much almost right! Yes, it does involve a thousand years! Problem for you is to figure out how a thousand years can literally mean ONE thousand years without causing inconsistency and contradiction into the Word of God!

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Not to worry David! I know after some years having these discussions with you that you often come across as being tossed to and fro, not really understanding how you can believe this, but further how you could possibly believe that??? Until you begin to understand the Kingdom of God is a...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Nothing in this age shall be perfect, but all that is spiritually in heaven already is. As long as we are physically alive on this earth, we look for what shall be in both heaven now, and on the NHNE after this heaven and earth passes away. Like the Apostle Paul, we desire to depart from this...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    It is what some refer to as already, but not yet. What that means is that Isaiah's prophecy spiritually came when Christ came with His Kingdom. When the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is complete as the last Gentile to be saved has entered in, that which is now spiritual will be physical...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    I see your mind spinning these things somewhat the same way mine did many years ago. I too began my Christian journey embracing the doctrine of Premillennialism. The real struggle for me was that I had simply accepted what I had been taught. Then one day I encountered a Christian whose end...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    I agree new Jerusalem will come down with the coming of Christ. One thing you forget is how that shall be the last day of the age we have been living in since Christ has come. According to Jo 6, Christ tells us that He will raise us up on the "last day". John writes there will be no more...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Have you ever really considered that Isaiah's NHNE is prophecy pertaining to the spiritual Kingdom of God that would come when the promised Messiah, they long waited for would finally come? Being Premillennial, I wonder if you have ever examined prophecy through spiritual fulfillment? That is...
