Not sure what book yer reading, but my Bible does not say 1001 hills in Psalm 50:10. It says the Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills.Originally posted by DeafPosttrib:
Ed, you have to understand, the word, 'age' never so called, "Church Age" according what dispensationalism teaches.
Bible simple teaching us, there is only two ages of God's plan. Right now, we are in this present age. Present age have been last for about 6000 years since creation. This present age shall be end by follow at Christ's coming for to judge the world. Disciples understood what 'age' means. They never hear of 1000 years, because of this doctrine is not yet existed till late 19th Century.
You might say, wait a minute, how about Revelation 20:2-6 mentiuoned, 'a thousand years'?
Centuries ago, Christians understood of Rev. 20:2-6 is a symbol or figurative meaning.
'A thousand years' does not taking a literally exactly number. But, it gives us, the picture that the Church have been reigning with Christ for long time.
Isn't Lord owns 1001 hills? - Psalms 50:10?
Throughout in the Bible mentioned of the numbers are symbol meanings, like as book of revelation talks lot of symbol and figure with meanings. Not every verse take literal.
Later, this week, I will discuss more about 'thousand'.
In Christ
Rev. 22:20 -Amen!
Very wrong. The eternal life will be spent in the Kingdom of God. Pre or post trib, ( of which I cannot fathom, how anyone can be post trib because the meek shall inherit the earth/ Jews, and they haven't!)Originally posted by Tom Butler:
I think Guitarpreacher is on to something. Remember, the context is a post-tribulational setting, not a pre-trib rapture. Whether you're pre- or post-, when Jesus returns in Matthew 24, He stays. The saints aren't going anywhere.

Sorry, Helen, that ideal doesn't do much for clear Bible doctrine. Yes, you do belong to our Lord, but He doesn't leave us wandering in a wilderness of suppositions. His Spirit clearly guides us into all truth, speaks of Jesus, and fills us as we desire to be filled. He grants us passage in to the Canaan Land Experience, overcoming all that oppose us, though the battles may be fierce, He still gives us that victory.Originally posted by Helen:
You know, folks, before Jesus came, there was enormous arguing and discussion about the coming Messiah. And they all, it seemed, missed the point of the Suffering Servant.
Prophecies are mostly recognizable after they are fulfilled. I think everyone here will find themselves saying, in the future, "So THAT'S what the Bible meant!"
In the meantime, we have work to do here and now, and if we are God's own, then there is nothing to fear anyway, right? Let us preach and live Christ, not our interpretations, faulty as they most inevitably are, of various prophecies.
Personally, I do think the pre-Trib rapture is correct Biblically. But if I am wrong, I still belong to my Lord and He will see me through everything I need to go through.
And that's enough. Whether I am 'taken' or 'left', I am His.
Who? Not Ed! Why would he? It's his trademark.Originally posted by Brother Bob:
Also Ed: you use the words just and unjust to justify your answers as if when used they always come from Christ himself. Well, these words were not in the original question. Your joke was about as funny as your previous graph of time itself and the end. If you are going to make mockery of me at least get the spelling right!!![]()

The ones who were left behind were the ones saved from the catastrophe.Originally posted by Brother Bob:
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
"38": For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
"39": And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
"40": Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
"41": Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Which one was saved, the one taken or the one left?![]()
