1 | What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 | Rev 17:10 | jamison | 204522 | ||
RC, I am reposting this in case you missed it earlier. Thank You... RC, Alright, I went back and looked at "thousand" in Scripture. It is used in 395 verses. It is overwhelmingly used as an accurate number or at least an approximation to number men or cattle or shekels, etc. There are a number of instances, though few, where I think it does in fact just mean a long time or a great number. Your quote from Psalms is one and there are a few others, such as 1000 years as one day, be ye mindful always of his covenant the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, etc. So maybe this would work, but I am not quick to accept that. Putting that aside for now, help me look at Rev 20 up to verse 10 which is supposed to be past. In verse 3, is Satan no longer deceiving the nations? If not, how is it different now than when he was deceiving them? Also, verse 7 talks about when Satan is loosed, but this hasn't happened yet, or has it? Lastly, who are those that have part in the first resurrection, true followers of Christ or just those that rose when he was crucified or someone else? Thank you in advance for your thoughts on these matters. jamison |

You must have missed my note back to you, I said the opposite. That it is usally used as not meaning a perfedt thousand, In Christ Jesus RC PS, is it Accurate or an approximate as you said,It is overwhelmingly used as an accurate number or at least an approximation. Just a funny statement. Thats my point its used as a generalization. Why would you read chap 20 in a spiritual way which it is, and then put right in the middle of everything else being spiritual a literal Phrase, thats Bad writiiiiiiiiiing. When John wrote this He is very correct, He hes telling you a spiritual thing and He means it that way. In other words, if He had wrote spiritually until He got to 1 thousand He would have continued the shift in literalism. But its a terrible thing to say That he wrote Spiritually everything else but that one phrase. You would never write anything literally and take one vs and put a spiritual meaning in it. No body would see the shift or know what your talking about. You dont have to accept it, but it has been taught for two thousand yrs now. I wouldnt try and twist your arm at all. in Christ Jesus RC |

RC, Thank you for the response. Yeah, I guess it is kinda humorous how I mentioned accurate and approximation. I just mean though that they probably rounded. Like if it said a guy had 1000 sheep and 500 goats, he might actually have 1014 sheep and 492 goats. They just rounded it. I don't think that if he had 1976 sheep that they would have said one thousand. I expect it would have been rounded to 2000. That is what I meant by approximation, that it wasn't just a general number that meant a "whole lot". But not really looking to argue it, it has been used to mean a "whole lot" in some passages, it is just not the norm. But The Revelation is not the norm book either, so though I don't agree as of yet that it is a generalization, I can certainly see it as plausible and would like to continue further if you would. Help me look at Rev 20 up to verse 10 which is supposed to be past if I understand correctly. In verse 3, is Satan no longer deceiving the nations? If not, how is it different now than when he was deceiving them? Also, verse 7 talks about when Satan is loosed, but this hasn't happened yet, or has it? Lastly, who are those that have part in the first resurrection, true followers of Christ or just those that rose when he was crucified or someone else? Thank you in advance for your thoughts on these matters. |

On Writing I have mentioned, if you write a spiritual CHP you dont put a literal statement in the middle, no one would understand it as being literal. No body would write a literal chapter either and put one vs in it as spiritual. No one would know that either. You can always see the shift Froom a literal passage into a Sppiritual one. They my shift but generally if they do they Shift after 20 vs or so and when they shift they will use the other for many verses. not just on in the middle. Nope the Nations were decieved pertains when the Gentiles couldnt know God unless they converted to Judaisim. And that was a terrible thing to do, mockery hate from them. When Jesus conquered Death on Ressrection Day, the Gentiles had their blinders taken off by God if you will. Now Everyone can be saved it dosent matter what Nation or tongue your from. Satan had a strangle hold on the Gentiles. Now we dont need Him we have enough sin generated by men. The Gentiles are now free atlast. So the nations can still be decieved through men or Nations, but its not Satan.If you send me an email Address I can send you the evidence in one 8 page study, Which includes this whole view. 1335 Days after The Sacrifice Had ended in 70 AD that Ress happened. Or what Daniel said was a false prophesy. Love in Christ Jesus. RC Ahh Satan is loosed only to be Judged by God. The Bible says that we shall laugh at this silly looking beast. That will be when all of us from this age are Judged as well. REV chapter 12 Satan is thrown from Heaven that already remember he took a third of the angels with Him. |
