On the contrary, the Lord's day is a very generic term. It can be used for Sunday, or it can be used for any day in which the Lord chooses to bless or curse in a magnified way. In eschatological contexts it may refer to an era of peace or to a specific day at which the Son of Man returns from heaven. Just asserting things proves nothing.
You're way off the mark. You think the "2nd Coming" is Jesus' 1st Coming? ;)
I of course believe Jesus physically returns to earth. I just don't think he stays here in that form until the end of the Millennial Age. Otherwise, we will have immortal people and mortal people living together on the same earth. And we can't have that. I'd rather believe in Amil!
There was no Church and no Israel before the Flood.
Nobody can return to earth, once dead, unless they return as immortals. And nobody gets immortality until we all get immortality at the 2nd Coming.
I have no idea what you're talking about? I don't have the saints from all ages do anything more than make a cameo appearance at the 2nd Coming. Their purpose for physically returning in immortal bodies is so that they may rule another thousand years without having to remain here physically. This is sheer speculation on my part.
No, the saints return from heaven with the Saints. They are immortalized in the twinkling of an eye and return with him on metaphorical horses to capture the planet back for God. We'll be staking our flag pole on the earth, on every continent, until Christ's flag is waving forevermore in the winds of God's eternal Spirit.
The Day of the Lord is not the Lord's Day.
The Sabbath is the Day of the Lord.
The Lord's Day is connected to resurrection Sunday or the first day of the week.
Jesus can be on the earth, while the church is already in Paradise, during the time of Jacob's trouble. I never said the church has to be on the earth. You did. You claim the glorified church is on the earth during the Tribulation, because the Tribulation is after the 5th Seal. You never said the Tribulation was prior to the 5th Seal. Why would the church be glorified in heaven still waiting for the rest to be glorified later?
The putting on of white robes can only be the church glorified. There is no other reference in Revelation to that end.
The church is not on earth after the 5th Seal, period, until the church descends after the NHNE in the New Jerusalem. You are correct in that sons of God no longer dwell with normal humans, as you allege with human terms, mortals and immortals.
The humans on earth are no longer mortal in a state of death either. They are without sin, because sin has been removed. Why can no one see the literal point of this verse:
"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Or this verse:
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for
I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Or this verse:
"And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when
I shall take away their sins."
No one will be in Adam's dead state you call mortal, not even the rest of the nations. No one can be born into sin per Isaiah 65.
If a person disobeys or breaks a law during the Millennial Kingdom, that is it, instant death, no repeat offenders.
The Kingdom did not happen at the First Coming of Christ as Messiah. Yet there was a major change. The OT redeemed were no longer souls in sheol. They received a physical, first resurrection, and started to enjoy all physical Paradise had to offer. They were not glorified as complete sons of God. They were free of sin, and free of living under any law. They were the Kingdom of God without national distinction, nor would they procreate as, all that procreation was for, was subduing the earth, not necessary to subdue heaven.
For 2 Millennia, the church has been added to daily, and all have been physically enjoying Paradise. Now at the Second Coming, there is another major change. Those in Paradise, the church are glorified, now full sons of God. But the change is effected on earth as well. Adam's punishment is removed. Now the earth will be subdued by humanity without the bondage of sin getting in the way. But there is still the iron rod rule with Jesus personally sitting as the King over all the earth. A shepherd under full earthly duty, as the kingdom of heaven is now on earth, as the sons of God have been fully redeemed, and a kingdom in heaven is no longer necessary.
These kingdom terms have always been concerning the redemption of mankind, not that sons of God need a government over them.
