PSSSSST: that all happens when HE IS RELEASED FOR HIS SHORT SPACE......
see blue highlights below.....hello? HE-E-E-E-L-L-L-O?
you think the meaning of him being restrained is about MEN'S SIN? OR TEMPTATION from worldy passions like murder or theft?
WAKEUP, WAKEUP
GOD HAS ORDERED HIM restrained FROM
CERTAIN DECEPTIONS, for a specifc PURPOSE AT THE END OF THE AGE.
when he is released your loins will be quivering, you will have NO CLUE what is happening because you expected everything to happen LATER. SURPRISE! the deception will be so severe, ONLY THE ELECT WILL EMERGE FROM IT, AND
HERE'S WHY JESUS SAID HE WOULD KEEP THEM FROM FALLING IN THAT HOUR OF TEMPTATION:
Rev 3:10
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
THE CHURCH WILL BE HERE THROUGH THE TRIBULATION.....and they will saved at the ADVENT 2.
but many who now say Lord Lord could be subject to God Almighty's STRONG DELUSION because they refuse to receive the LOVE OF THE TRUTH AT ANY COST TO THEMSLEVES (2 Thess 2)
instead som have chosen some weird mix of gnostic and dispensational goo-goo beddy-by stories about raptures and temporary resurrected flesh jews in a future (Pharisaical 1,000 years) with THEM as 'spirt-bodied' teachers.
what a sorry state of study. which is not study at all.
btw: why can't you reveal the EXACT MOMENT DAY AND HOUR as you posted elsewhere/ did you go to the third heaven and have things revealed unlawful to speak?
OR DO YOU WATCH SHEPHERD'S CHAPEL AND GET THIS JUNK FROM BRISTISH ISRAELIST ARNOLD MURRAY?
yes you do.....
oh yes you prolly do.....(the teaching as are the same...USELESS)

NOW. PAUL AND JOHN WERE EITHER CONFUSED, OR SCOFIELD AND THE PHARISEES ARE.
Amillennialism (which some who haven't bothered to look into it since they claim it means NO MILLENNIUM) means the entire messianic gospel period from Advent One to Advent Two.
Rev 20 is a PRENTHETHICAL chapter which describes where the souls of dead in Christ go when the die or are killed: TO BE WITH JESUS!
now if Sall is killed 3 days before Advent Two do you expect Rev 20 to say that? or does Rev 20 describe the time between Advents?
ummm.....let's see how you get around the above passages.
i'll check back in from time to time to see if you or any other DISPENSATIONALISTS can answer those passages.
ironically, 2 Thess 2 and some Rev passages ARE ALL THAT REMAIN TO BE FULFILLED and you can't even see THAT! lolol!
~
.......the amillennial view holds that the thousand years mentioned in Revelation 20 is a
symbolic number, not a literal description; that
the millennium has already begun and is identical with the current church age,
Amillennialism holds that while Christ's reign during the millennium is
spiritual in nature,
at the end of the church age, Christ will return in final judgment and establish a permanent physical reign. [NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH, NEW JERUSALEM]
Many proponents dislike the name amillennialism because it emphasizes their differences with premillennialism rather than their beliefs about the millennium, and although they prefer alternate terms such as nunc-millennialism (that is, now-millennialism) or realized millennialism, the acceptance and widespread usage of the different names has been limited.[1]
(the man of sin, the lawless one) it IS singular.
