If y'all are reading this stuff let it be known that RobbyEarl has warned you. Jesus Died for Bowman and will accept Him, but the bible is clear that a false prophet will be accursed. I pray that Bowman see's the light and comes out of this doctrine of devils. Yes Satan wants you to think that he is bound, he is the great deceiver. I pray for you bowman.

Bowman Jesus loves you and died on a tree that you might be saved, while you hated Him, He died for you anyway. I may not be a theologian nor a prophet, just a door keeper in the house of God and even the prodigal, but I know my shepherds voice. We are told to test the spirits and your message don't pass. Notice i said your message and not you. I will not attack you only your message, for Christ died for you as well as me.

How could victory be ruling from the throne of jerusalem physically with A) no one to help him from any of the nations and B) if the mount of olives is outside jerusalem?
(Olives. Blech. My family used to try to make me me eat those things even though i hated them *puke*. Scapegoat me. And what sucks is that i have a HUGE family i didn't even know about until recently. There are like 12 families or so outside of this immediate one. But they're all jewish or something i think. Thank heaven for the internet keeping me occupied and sane. At least i have great hair.)

May God bless you, I have a friend who has 7 children and none of them are his and he has no children of his own. They were given to him by the death of his first wife who already had children before they were married and the His sister died who had three children and He took them in and His new wife already had a child. so this man praise God is raising 7 children and none are His own. May god bless Him and prosper the works of his hands. Dude just hold on, God will bless you.
Hello garee,
If I may, it is stated right in the same scripture as to why Satan is bound in the Abyss:
"He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. "
The scripture above is speaking of the same group of angels that Peter was speaking about:
"For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to Tartaroo putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;"
Both Jude and Peter are speaking about the angels, those son's of God mentioned in Gen.6:1 who took human wives and conceived giants, also known as the offspring of the watchers of heaven. These angels who took wives and defiled themselves are those whom God has reserved in chains of darkness i.e. Tartaroo, until the day of judgment. To be clear, Jude and Peter are not speaking of Satan and those angels who originally rebelled with him, for they are out and about in heaven and in the earth.
Satan's literal restriction in the Abyss will take place at the end of that last seven years when Christ returns to the earth to end the age and establish his millennial kingdom. Satan and his angels will be cast out of heaven around the middle part of the seven years, where he will know that his time is short and that because from the time that he is cast out he knows that he will only have 3 1/2 years left before Christ returns and he is thrown into the Abyss.

Hello RobbyEarl,
Again, this is directed at Bowman. The reason why we can deny that we are currently not living during the thousand year reign of Christ is because Christ is not here on earth and ruling from Jerusalem and scripture says that he will be. Also, none of the events of wrath that precede Christ's return have yet taken place. The only way that they can make us as currently living in the millennial kingdom is to wave their magic preterist wand and poof! We just got rid of that pesky literal stuff.

Hello RobbyEarl,
This is again directed at Bowman:
No one has diminished Jesus work on the cross. He met the righteous requirements of the law on our behalf, freeing us from the law which gave/gives sin its power. And He paid the penalty for our sins, freeing us from condemning judgment. By His work on the cross he defeated the powers of darkness triumphing over them by taking away their ammunition, which was the law. However, Rev.20:1-3 is speaking of a literal event that will take place when Christ returns to the earth to end the age where Satan will literally be thrown into the literal location of the Abyss for a literal thousand years. It is because of your spiritualization of the scriptures that you don't understand this.
thanks for the compliment!
I have posted scripture quotes much more recently than 1,000 posts ago. I'm not sure why you haven't seen them.
but you are correct in that I do try to avoid excessive scripture quoting.
as Ecclesiastes said,
there is "a time to be silent and a time to speak."
and,
God has "made everything beautiful in its time."
imo, excessive scripture quoting blunts the force of the scriptures being quoted.
