    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Chapter nineteen is the overview of the end times. Chapter twenty is the finer detail and the timing within that overview. The tribulation saints are important to the Lord and they reign with Christ for a thousand years. Do you have a problem with that?

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Don't quote scripture here. How does discussing a text on eschatology prevent others from obtaining the truth? Revelation 20:4 And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Inquisitors are contracted to conduct an Inquisition. Inquisitors have no favorites of course and will work for any church. The text (Rev 20) tells you the timeline of the end times.

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Satan is restrained for a thousand years and then released. The timing of Satan's release is at the end of the millennium. Revelation 20:7-8 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    That's what Rev 20 would suggest. Gog and Magog attack Jerusalem and then Jesus returns. Will you deny the first resurrection?

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    The bottom line in the book of Revelation is the book is loaded with symbols and metaphors. I find it impossible to separate the symbols and the metaphors, from the literal reality, littered throughout the text. I don't have an eschatological opinion on the matter because I can't.

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    You are in denial of what was stated in Revelation 20. Revelation 20:4-5 ...And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Yes, I do see the problems that the text (Revelation 20) generates. One is the fact that Revelation 20 mentions a first resurrection after the great tribulation. There is obviously a first and a second resurrection. This is difficult to negotiate. The tribulation saints only will reign with...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    An interesting reply. Anyone can read the text, you say. Well, there seems to be a mountain of interpretation read into every interpretation in eschatology. The last thing that will happen is folk reading the text. You want my understanding of who enters the millennium, sawdust? From a...

    Jesus gave us a new commandment. John 13:34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Love as Jesus loves and you can only do that by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not under the law trying to love others as...

    Your on a winner here. 1 Timothy 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith. Love is the ultimate gift of the Holy Spirit. God is love! You can identify a real Christian by the love they have for others. John 13:35 By...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    If the text states the antichrist reigns over all for 3.5 years, then that is what the text states. The book of Revelation never mentions a seven year period of time. You have sourced the seven year time span from an interpretation of the book of Daniel. Does the book of Daniel mention a...
