Jerome said:They both happen in the selfsame hour, right Brother Bob?
Ed Edwards said://Scripture says the "souls" of them that were beheaded for the word of God. It says nothing about any bodies. Also, It does not place the reign upon the earth either. All of this has been interpted by man and not the scripture.//
Uh, the Bible says that 'a living soul' is what God created when He created a human:
Gen 2:7 (Geneva Bible, 1599 Edition):
The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule.
Sounds like the 'souls of them beheaded for the word of God' probably are alive and the head/body has been recombined. Makes as much sense as the quote above.
I don't know of any, but as the thousand years, it could be any length of time. Except this one:menageriekeeper said:Hey Bro. Bob, is there any other passage in the Bible to compare the idea of a "little season" to or is this terminology only used to describe the loosing of Satan?
(Language Cop, please forgive the misspelling of millenial. The dyslexia had the best of me that night. I looked at it twice and knew something wasn't right but couldn't figure it out and didn't figure it out until I saw your post. Dyslexia is a pain!)
Brother Bob said:Second, what is a thousand years. Is it one day, one hour or is it really a thousand years of man's time. I really do not know, and doubt if anyone else's does.
Psa 90:4For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
2Pe 3:8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
I think the Greek word for a "thousand" in Rev. is an indefinite amount of time.
Brother Bob said:as the thousand years, [the little season] could be any length of time.
Jerome said:Careful, Brother Bob.
If we extend that idea to "the hour" being "any length of time" that would mean that the resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation could be separated by say, more than a thousand years, and yet still be described in John as both happening at "the coming hour."
Again, My eschatology is the same as our Lord's. (Brother Bob, Baptist Board, post #165, this thread)
Sounds to me like both individuals mentioned above have an almost identical, and extremely high opinion of their own understanding of what they are speaking of, on this subject.But I and others, who are right-minded Christians on all points, are assured that...(Justin, Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter LXXX, last sentence)
The KJV puts it this way.Do not be wise in your own opinion. (Rom. 12:16c - NKJV)
EdBe not wise in your own conceits.

Paul says something about this manner of thinking, I believe, warning against it, in one place (Rom. 11:25) and directly commanding against it in this place.The KJV puts it this way.

Sorry, Bob. I retired from flying last November. Perhaps it's that "I am seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" that you do not understand me.Brother Bob said:You are "Johnny come lately", you are a little bit late to the party Skypair, could be the oxygen again. Fly a little lower.
Ezekiel 43:14. blah, blah, blah ... as Bp. Newcome translates, ... blah, blah, blah same as that of Solomon,... So you have ONE dimension that correlates -- and one verse -- and you didn't even read it yourself. Lovely. You're such a good student of the Word, Bob.
Here are the Bible references to the Millennial Kingdom (See if you can fit them into your eschatology; they fit in mine.): Psa 2:6-8; 98:4-9; Isa 2:2-4, 9:6-7;11:9-16; 25:8; 29:18-19; 30:23-26, 35:5-10; 40:4-5, 10-11; 42:16; 45:6; 49:10-11; 55:13; 60:1, 3, 11, 19-20, 25; Jer 23:5-6; Ezek 34:23-24; Dan 2:44; 7:13-14; Joel 3:18; Amos 9:11, 13; Micah 4:1-6; Hab 2:14; Zeph 3:9, 15, 17; Zech 6:12-13; 8:3-5; 14:8-9;16, 20; Mt 19:28; 25:31; Luke 1:31-33; 22:30; Acts 2:30; Rom 8:21; 1Cor 15:24-28; Phil 2:10-11; 2Tim 2:12; Heb 1:8; Rev 3:21; 5:13, 11:15, 19:15:16; 20:4. BTW -- NONE of them sound like today.I find not where in Ezekial the mention of a thousand years, please give me chapter and verse??
And if you had "Instaverse," you could put your cursor on each and read each for yourself (but I doubt even if it was that easy you would avail yourself of my offering -- you, unlike Paul, having already "attained.")
Dual application, Bob. It doesn't neglect Israel. It just hasn't been given them yet.Did you say, the "new covenant" was given unto the Gentiles instead of Israel??? God made the "promise" to Israel.

saved and sure,saved and sure said:I appreciate all the time you spent in putting these verses together but you never answered the question.
When was satan bound to not tempt the nations? Simple question. When did the angel put the chains on satan and bind him? When was the time when satan had no influence on earth?
You keep saying this and it keeps being a HALF TRUTH! Jesus, living as He did in the OT, spoke OT eschatology to the JEWS.Brother Bob said:Anything else is a different eschatology than what Jesus spoke of.
The book of Revelation speaks of 7 trumpets. That is 42 different sets of two trumpets. I also note that none of the 7 trumpets is called 'the Last Trumpet'.Brother Bob said:...
never read of two trumpets, have you?..........
...

So, are you saying that Jesus's eschatology is "half truth"????skypair said:You keep saying this and it keeps being a HALF TRUTH! Jesus, living as He did in the OT, spoke OT eschatology to the JEWS.
But Jesus also taught NT eschatology to BELIEVERS -- the rapture for instance (Mt 19:28, John 14:1-4, Mt 25:1-13, etal.)
Bob, it is quite possibly too late to repair the damage you have done with your allegorization of everything, but I'll keep trying, bro. I'm sure you believe that God wrote about all these things openly in the Bible but intends to fulfill them all secretly so that men will constantly be confused about what He promised when, where, and how.

Well, for your sake, I am glad we only give an account for what we know.
Ezekiel 43:14. blah, blah, blah ... as Bp. Newcome translates, ... blah, blah, blah same as that of Solomon,... So you have ONE dimension that correlates -- and one verse -- and you didn't even read it yourself. Lovely. You're such a good student of the Word, Bob.
I guess I should be thankful, but when you came out with the animal sacrifices, that was enough for me.
Also, the damage may have already been done, when you retired from flying..............

If your mind is a one way street, I can understand them fitting into your eschatology.

To say that Israel was left out of the "new covenant" and it was given to the Gentiles instead, turns the scripture on its head.
I think this is a good place to bow out of this thread. There is nothing "new" coming from you, and I do not feel like going over the same old ground again.
Advice, always keep what Jesus said about the end times, before running off and start slaying animals.
BBob,
No, because, in contradistinction to you, He gives both halves!!Brother Bob said:So, are you saying that Jesus's eschatology is "half truth"????
So YOU say. You are obviously anti-dispensationalist and, possibly a replacement theologist. You really ought to see a therapist about your addiction to "alligories!" :laugh:Brother Bob said:To say that Israel was left out of the "new covenant" and it was given to the Gentiles instead, turns the scripture on its head.
Yeah, if you are not going to step up to the challenge that NONE of those passages I gave you sound like the era we live in, I'd say you should bow out -- tail between your legs.I think this is a good place to bow out of this thread. There is nothing "new" coming from you, and I do not feel like going over the same old ground again.
I won't even be here when that becomes an option so, "no sweat," Bob. My address then, BTW, will be "777 skypair St, New Jerusalem." I'll have the name of the city of God emblazoned on my head and T-shirt :laugh: per Rev 3:12!Advice, always keep what Jesus said about the end times, before running off and start slaying animals.
Point is, others have, in essence, said the very same thing as you say, here. And this has been being said for over 1900 years, with Justin being an early case in point, Augustine being a later case, the Roman Catholic theologue that addresses eschatology prior to the Reformation (Consider that if no one was holding to any different idea, and all were of the same mindset, then why would someone bring some non-existent thing up, hence giving it new life?? The Albigenses, and Ana-Baptists were at most, very small and inconsequential players, in the whole scheme of things, were they not?), the Anglican "interrogator" of prominent Baptist, Stacy Keach, mentioned earlier in this thread, being only a few cases in point, from the early days of Church History, as we know it, thru today, where one can find,l not only "Christians", but even Baptists of about all stripes, and ideas.Brother Bob said:I have stated over and over, my eschatology is the same as Jesus Christ's. It is not a personal opinion, but taken after the words of Christ. That is not putting one's self above anyone.
