We were talking about when Jesus returns and slays the wicked. How many people could exist that are not wicked who knows?? We do know the wicked are slainOh!!! So, billions of satanists are not wicked in your estimation?

He never said that. Heaven and earth will pass away. That will be at the end of the 1000 years.So, you believe Jesus was wrong about the Heaven and earth passing away at his coming?
There will still be nations...minus the wicked folks.So what is the point of ruling over the fallen earth with no wicked people for a thousand years?
Correct. Then we also come back with Jesus here to the earth. He rules here for 1000 years as do we with Him. We will have work to do on earth. We also have our home in heaven of course. Did you think we, in our immortal bodies would have some sort of trouble commuting??I thought he ascended to the Fathers House and prepared a place for us there.
And so we shall and He and we also shall rule this ol planet.He promised to come back so we could be with him in that place forever. So be encouraged.
Are you for real?He never said that. Heaven and earth will pass away. That will be at the end of the 1000 years.

So, the catching away is indeed the second coming. I agree. Your 3rd coming is of course fiction. We are caught up, and the wicked are destroyed. We return to a regenerated earth. It all happens at the one time. Your teachers have deceived you.The coming in the air is a coming that we see. His return to earth is a coming every eye shall see
Your invented millennium is a farce. It is overrun by the wicked. Why not admit it? The reality is, it will never happen.We were talking about when Jesus returns and slays the wicked. How many people could exist that are not wicked who knows?? We do know the wicked are slain
Yes and if you don't know when that is I just told you. At the end of the 1000 yearsAre you for real?
- Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth [as now known] will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
In case you missed it this is when that happens
- Revelation 20:11
The Final Judgment
And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them [for this heaven and earth are passing away].
He burns it with fire and makes it new. A new earth. The heavens also will be new.
No place is found for this ol planet...just except it brother.
Believe what you like.So, the catching away is indeed the second coming. I agree. Your 3rd coming is of course fiction. We are caught up, and the wicked are destroyed. We return to a regenerated earth. It all happens at the one time. Your teachers have deceived you.
It is what God told us will be. Clearly. Believe it or notYour invented millennium is a farce.
Some rebels thinking about attacking saints at the end of the millennium is not being overrun. It is a final rebellion attempt that is quashed. Proving for one thing that man, even in a paradise run by Jesus cannot be happy or good unless they have God in their heartsIt is overrun by the wicked. Why not admit it? The reality is, it will never happen.
It is what God told us will be. Clearly. Believe it or not
Some rebels thinking about attacking saints at the end of the millennium is not being overrun. It is a final rebellio
Where in Revelation 20 does it call the millennium paradise? The millennium started with Christ's first resurrection 2000 years ago.n attempt that is quashed. Proving for one thing that man, even in a paradise run by Jesus cannot be happy or good unless they have God in their hearts
Did you think the nincompoops would be allowed to kill even one saint then??
Are you for real?

Yes and if you don't know when that is I just told you. At the end of the 1000 years
I called it that. The descriptions in the bible include fast growing plant life, super long lifespans for man, peace and plenty and direct rule of Jesus etc. Of course I would call that a paradise. Especially for believers that live in New Jerusalem in heaven and have eternal bodies!Where in Revelation 20 does it call the Millennium paradise?
The 1000 years could not have started over two thousand years ago! I take it math is not your strong suitYou make it up as you go. This is all affection. The Millennium started with Christ's first resurrection 2000 years ago.
Spiritual truth is not imaginary. However, "spiritualized" scripture passages are inventions born in the imagination.How are spiritual truths imaginary?
You claim that the New Testament doesn't teach that Israel will be saved. Paul argues that Israel will be saved in Romans chapters 9-11. When does God save Israel? He will save Israel when he removes ungodliness from Jacob.What did Paul say earlier?
In Romans chapters 9 through 11, Paul argues why God has not broken his promise to save all of Israel. He argues that a promise of salvation to a nation does not contradict God's choice of individuals. Not all of Jacob's descendants will benefit from the promise. He also argues that God's promise to save a nation doesn't contradict God's choice to make faith in Jesus the essential marker of those whom he is saving. He argues that God's promise to save Israel doesn't conflict with his holiness and righteousness. Even Israel's rejection of Messiah Jesus didn't cause God to change his mind about his promise to save Israel. He will save Israel, but only a remnant will be saved, and before then, a partial hardening will remain until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in.What was his argument?
Your position spiritualizes the concept of Israel, understanding the term contrary to it's dictionary definition, assigning the term to the church instead. But this innovative concept doesn't fit into Paul's argument.What doesn't fit?
We know what Paul means to say through his writings.How do you know more of what Paul means to say than what Paul knows of what Paul means to say?
We understand Romans 11:26-27 from within the argument he presented in Romans chapters 9 through 11, paying special attention to the rhetorical questions he asks. If an interpretation fails to answer the questions he raised, then it is incorrect and needs work.What context are you referring to?
Special knowledge or special understanding is the practice of cults. The practice of Jesus and the Apostles is to reveal God's will for Israel and all of human kind.I said to leave it for those who understand it.
So leave it for those who understand it.
I appreciate the knowledge that y'all have, you have really studied but did you become a Christian so that you could argue about this?So, is your rapture not a coming of Christ?
Where in Revelation 20 does it teach "fast growing plant life, super long lifespans for man, peace and plenty and direct rule of Jesus" on earth?I called it that. The descriptions in the bible include fast growing plant life, super long lifespans for man, peace and plenty and direct rule of Jesus etc. Of course I would call that a paradise.

Link to your post so I can see how you interpret zec 13.Yes it was zec 13
Where in this thread did anyone claim that in that chapter all that was written? Does this mean that you are actually unfamiliar with such basic Scripture?Where in Revelation 20 does it teach "fast growing plant life, super long lifespans for man, peace and plenty and direct rule of Jesus" on earth?
Do you understand the whole concept of symbolism and figurative language in Revelation?
