Not me. If I believed and understood something incorrectly, I'd want to know. It wasn't an easy journey for any of us former pre-miller's,... which the overwhelming majority of us once were. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many haven't even heard of anything besides the pre-trib rapture doctrine and all of it's accompaniments. For many, it's an accepted "given". It's all they've ever heard. Today's signs and wonders crowd see the return of the "five-fold" ministry ...i.e.... the "offices" of apostles and prophets, the manifestation(s) of God's Spirit thru modern day tongues etc. etc. as God pouring out his Spirit upon mankind in these last days. I (and many others) see the pouring out of God's Spirit as a revelation of His truth ... and understanding it. And most importantly, receiving His grace thru faith to be alright with it, come what may.

Im wondering what some of you think about the comet, called apophis, that is to pass close to earth in 2029?
Then return again in 2036.
Since the root name of apophis is wormwood, and this comet has the potential of hitting earth,or causeing major damage in 2029 or on its return in 2036.

I just have found it interesting, and wonder about it.
As is has alot that might fit into what is spoken to in revelations.

God bless

So there! :p

(I actually clicked that link...my son tells me I remind him of a t-shirt a co-worker has that says,
"If you say 'gullible' slowly
it sounds like 'oranges' ".)

(but I want the one that says,

I haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister.

Wiki states:
"On Friday, April 13, 2029, Apophis will pass Earth within the orbits of geosynchronous communication satellites.[15] It will return for another close Earth approach in 2036.


The 2029 pass will actually be much closer than the first predictions, but the uncertainty is such that an impact is ruled out. Similarly, the pass on April 13, 2036, carries little risk of an impact."

I'm absolutely exhausted with this newspaper exegesis of Bible.

This too will pass us without being a fulfillment of said verses
Just like every other past speculation has.

For a long time Chernobyl was the 'worm wood' of revelation. Now it's a comet?


You'd think folks would learn.

None of you will deal with the kingdom being restored back to Israel. Because you do not believe it will happen to the apple of God's eye (Zech 2:8).

These over educated and overly contrived amillennialist are going to try and convince you and others that we are living presently in the kingdom age and that Christ is reigning here on the earth in that kingdom. They will do everything they can to take away the mystery of Christ and the church and try to blend it all together as spiritual Israel, so that God will not be faithful to His covenant and promises to Israel, God's literal elect company and chosen and precious people. They do not want anyone over them in the Lord to give them doctrine or to teach them the word.

They are going to try and spiritualize and spew their doctrine all over you and try to coat you with it like sweet honey to get you to keep tasting it over and over until you are overcome by it. They will eventually mock you with it, belittle you and others who won't ascribe to it and they will pull a power play to try and shame you into it. They will attack all those who have paid a price for telling the truth that is contrary to their own understanding. They have already tried it with me and they will not stop with you either. If Eternally Grateful is not careful they will try to sweep him into their web of doctrine.

There will be some who post in their favour that they will use as scapegoats and buffers to do their dirty work and will compliment them from time to time because that is how they work. Just sit back and watch it all happen because they can not help themselves, it is what is in their heart. They like to bait and lure you into these foolish questions that you have to answer. It will all happen in time unless they come to their senses or God does something to thwart their effort, and that is what I hope for and I will laugh at their calamity after how they have treated so many others.
Red for them to ask when He would restore Israel...to you infers He will. Now i could teach a hundred
heresys with that logic. But you cant so easily handle the bible that way.

Fact is He did on Pentecost, Paul explains that in Romans. And its eternal, everlasting....not 1000yrs.
I only answered this because if not youd think you had a point, that stumpted someone.

I know that Jesus is Lord of all (spiritually).
I believe He will also be Lord of all in the material world.
I know there will be a new heaven and earth.
But I believe the scripture is clear that He will set up His kingdom in this world, in this realm.
I really think that is what is spelled out.
I just can't see Him being Lord over all this,......not yet.
I know there is a spiritual reality that He is Lord over all who call on His name with an unfeigned heart.
But I think He will return to set up a kingdom that hasn't been established yet.
"He shall rule with a rod of iron" pp. Rev 2:27
I just don't see satan ever being bound from the kingdoms of the world yet.
I just don't see it.
YES you are correct, and incorrect.

Jesus is reigning now!!!!! On Davids throne(with True Israel) which is eternal(not 1000yes)

Correct there are still rebels that He will put under His feet, then He will take up(not down)
the kingdom to the Father.

Problem is when that happens when all enemies are put under His feet Death is the last one.

Cant have a earthly kingdom with enemies and death after enemies and death were defeated
and eliminated. 1cor15 And this happens at His return. not 1000 years later.

People try to make Rev 20 say "MORE" than whats said about satan so they can knock down
the eschatological implications. Which i think is immature or dishonest.

I had to start with the New Testement. Specifically what Jesus said and the apostles.
Then let that new revelation help me interpret the Old Testament prophecies and Revelation.
I think any other order will lead to error.

There is so much presented to us in the scriptures giving us understanding about the kingdom age that is to come, the type of government of that age and what goes on during that 1,000 reign, which is absolutely future, and Christ will be upon the throne of David during that reign upon the earth. It is inconceivable that anyone would even consider the possibility that we have been living in this reign for the past 2,000 plus years. It is irresponsible and reckless to say the least. To even deal with these people on this site who are amillennialist is not a good endeavor and it profits nothing. They can react as they wish but to respond to any of them further is an exercise in futility.

Oh Please red we already heard all that. Too many times by the way. Weve even sold posters and tshirts.
Are you here in a bible discussion forum to discuss bible or just pontificate? Obfuscate?

Red is Jesus sitting on Davids throne now?

Is eternal eternal or is eternal 1000 years?

Are you a royal priest? Are you a king seated in the Heavenlies? With the King of Kings?

Notice you ask questions to corner or contend but when sufficiently answered
each time you come back with emotional attitude only. Never a dialogue.

Do you have anything at all to share about the topic of Rev 20:1-10? Or just a heckler?

Jesus put all His enemies under His foot when He tossed Satan and 1/3 of the angels out of Heaven. Because Jesus is in Heaven NOW on His throne NOW and the Earth is His footstool.

so when it states in Revelation that Satan was tossed out, then they are under His feet.

Revelation 12
5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them[a] in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, &#8220;Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.&#8221;

1260 days after Jesus ascension war broke out in Heaven and Satan and his angels were cast down and placed under Jesus feet.

Isaiah 66:1
Thus says the LORD: &#8220;Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?

does anyone not believe that Jesus is reigning in His throne now?

or that Satan hasn't been tossed out of Heaven yet?

I have meet many of your ilk that love to accuse others of these things and use these by-words to speak evil at the drop of a hat against those that have a cross and are fruitful with God and I am not referring to or mean me. You will never amount to a single thing in the kingdom of God because of that kind of evil that occupies your heart. Please go your way and do your own thing as others have done and be content with your own evil.

Red is Jesus sitting on Davids throne now?

NO, But He is at the right hand of the Father. Haven't you learned that yet? You are an adult son, are you not?

Is eternal eternal or is eternal 1000 years? Foolish question. Try again.

Are you a royal priest? Are you a king seated in the Heavenlies? With the King of Kings?

We have all been made to be priests but as far as reigning as a king, you won't be a king that reigns if you were not a good steward of the grace of God and if you suffer the loss of all rewards at the bema seat nor will you be put in any position of authority.

Notice you ask questions to corner or contend but when sufficiently answered
each time you come back with emotional attitude only. Never a dialogue.

I want no dialogue with you and certain others because you ask foolish questions and i hope that offends you.

I already have many times over so, go take your royal kingly hike into your vast kingdom that has already come and see if you can make peace with your local grizzly bear and make sure that you impress your subjects, with that stiff-neck and your old sin nature still intact and with a perishing body laden with the corruption of the flesh ready to take on the grave.

Red to me your typically everything you call others. Ive never called you names.
Also Yes Jesus is sitting on Davids throne just as prophecy promised. Read Acts. Peter taught this right after
Pentecost. So really your the one with scriptural problems. Its not a personal problem between you and me.
I didnt write the book. And i think it reads pretty clear.

No not quite yet. Refer to 1 Cor 15 there are still rebels and death.
But all will be at His coming.

By the way Red presuming others motives is a giant sin forbidden. Ok?
I asked these questions to point you to the fact we are in the Kingdom NOW as
promised. The questions were not of ill will. But to just point you to scripture.
