Brian, Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If you mean what are the names of the kings, my answer is I don't know and I'm not interested in knowing. Grace and peace, John |

3145 | Who are the 24 elders in this verse? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 800 | ||
Since the 24 elders are neither named nor identified, then we do not know their identity with any certainty. The 24 elders are "representative of either the whole company of believers in heaven or an exalted angelic order worshiping and serving God there . . . The number 24 is often understood to reflect the 12 Israelite tribes of the OT and the 12 apostles of the NT." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, p. 1854) | ||||||
3146 | Signs of Jesus coming back? | Rev 19:11 | kalos | 177717 | ||
The Sign Is The Son Of Man Himself 'In [Matthew 24] verse 30 Jesus answers the question the disciples asked Him previously, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age" (v. 3)? He gave them a list of general signs in verses 4 to 14…’ 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:3-14 English Standard Version NASB Matthew 24:30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. AMPLIFIED Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]. [Dan. 7:13; Rev. 1:7.] 'In [Matthew 24] verse 30 Jesus answers the question the disciples asked Him previously, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age" (v. 3)? He gave them a list of general signs in verses 4 to 14, but He still hadn't given them the sign. 'A. The Definition of the Sign '1. What it is not 'a) The sign of the cross 'Some early church fathers taught that the sign of which Christ spoke was a blazing cross that would fill the black heavens. This was the position of men such as Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Origen. 'b) The Shekinah alone 'Others have taught that the sign will be the Shekinah--the blazing light of God's glory. That's closer to the truth, but you can't have the Shekinah apart from the One it emanates from. '2. What it is' THE SIGN IS THE SON OF MAN HIMSELF 'Verse 30 defines what the sign will be: "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven." That is a subjective genitive in the Greek text, indicating that the sign is the Son of Man Himself. In the midst of the blackness will appear in blazing, unveiled glory the Son of Man.' ____________________ To read more go to: www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg2371.htm |

3147 | Why must the devil be released? | Rev 20:3 | kalos | 900 | ||
Revelation 20:7-10 (NIV) . . . "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." . . . Why will the devil be released? To "go out to deceive the nations", according to God's plan. . . . What will be the devil's ultimate fate? See verse 10. |

3148 | Logic in timing in steps. | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 118216 | ||
If the question were "Does the church have to be raptured BEFORE the beast can be revealed", then the answer would be: No, it doesn't. Actually it is the other way around. That Day (the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him) will not come unless and until the man of sin is revealed first, the son of perdition (the beast, the antichrist). 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 :: New King James Version (NKJV) 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. |

3149 | view of millenium -vs- view of rapture? | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 171998 | ||
'Millennium 'Literally, this word means 1000 years. In the study of end time doctrines (eschatology) the millennium is the period of time of Christ's rulership. The debate has been over when the millennium will take place and what what form will it actually be. The terms that have arisen out of this debate are premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. Premillennialism teaches that the millennium is yet future and that upon Christ's return He will set up His earthly kingdom. Amillennialism teaches that the millennium is a figurative period and that Christ's rule began when He first became man. Postmillennialism teaches that through the preaching of the Word of God, the world will be converted and will then usher in Christ and the kingdom of God. There are good arguments for each position.' www.carm.org/dictionary/ dic_l-o.htm#_1_109 |

Millennial and Rapture Positions ____________________ "Premillennialists have various views on the timing of the Rapture, but they all place that momentous event before the 1000-year reign of Christ and His kingdom." ____________________ 'Millennial and Rapture Positions 'By Gary Vaterlaus 'Any study of eschatology must at some point come to grips with two major issues that are frequently debated, studied, and documented. 'The Millennium and the Rapture are terms that are pivotal to one's understanding of God's plans for the future, for the nation of Israel, and for the Church. 'Several positions have evolved in regards to these two issues. Differing definitions of interpretation, context, word meanings, timing, etc. have forced these views into several camps. 'Below are overviews that give an introduction to what these views hold to and from when and where they originated. ...' ____________________ To read more go to: www.solagroup.org/articles/ endtimes/et_0020.html |

3152 | Why is Satan released after 1,000 years? | Rev 20:8 | kalos | 125626 | ||
Why (for what purpose) must the devil be released? The Bible tells us why. Satan "will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth...to gather them for battle." Revelation 20:7-10 (NIV) "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Why will the devil be released? To "go out to deceive the nations", according to God's plan. |

3153 | judgement seat of christ/ rapture | Rev 20:12 | kalos | 136257 | ||
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Romans 14:10 (KJV) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Cor. 5:10 (KJV) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. [12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev. 20:11-12 (KJV) |

3154 | Who goes to heaven? | Rev 20:12 | kalos | 141584 | ||
You can't go to heaven because of your good works -- period. All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6 (ESV) We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. |

"Ezekiel 37:11-14. An interpretation of the vision. The bones represent hopeless and helpless Israel. The graves speak of her political demise. The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, who will effect the regeneration of the people. The vision does not depict the physical resurrection of individuals, but the political (prior to the second coming of Christ ) and spiritual (at the second coming of Christ) revivals of Israel." ____________________ Source: The Ryrie Study Bible, 1978, Moody Press. |

3158 | Am I judged by my deeds? | Rev 20:13 | kalos | 159181 | ||
Judgment Seat and Great White Throne The Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment are not one and the same event. They are two separate judgments that have to do with two separate groups of people and take place at two separate times. At the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ. This judgment does not determine salvation. On the other hand, the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT 'is an examination of all those whose names are not in the Lamb’s book of life.' The Judgment Seat of Christ 'What is the Judgment Seat of Christ?' 'A believer's deeds are judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-12). This judgment does not determine salvation, but rather is when believers must give an account of their lives to Christ. We should not look at the Judgment Seat of Christ as God judging our sins, but rather as God rewarding us for our lives. 'At the Judgment Seat of Christ, believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27; 2 Timothy 2:5)...' (www.gotquestions.org/judgment-seat-Christ.html) Great White Throne Judgment 'Revelation 20 speaks of a future judgment called the Great White Throne Judgment. This is an examination of all those whose names are not in the Lamb’s book of life, which is a record of all those who have put their faith in Christ (this means they stand justified and in the righteousness of Christ). Thus, the Great White Throne Judgment will be a time of examination where everyone who has rejected Christ (or the hope of Christ, as would be the case in Old Testament times), will be given their day in court where they are examined and the true condition of their hearts are brought plainly into view. Books are opened which contain a record of every person’s works (and this includes their motives). This will prove without a doubt that they are unrighteous and fall short of God’s glory and deserve eternal separation from God.' (www.bible.org) Angel in Training: I appreciate you and the heart you have for the things of God. You ask good questions -- questions that a great many people are wondering about.

3159 | Death | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7669 | ||
"Can I conclude that death and Hades are destroyed in the LAKE OF FIRE and NOT subjected to "ETERNAL TORMENT" (emphasis added)?" Rev 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE. This is the second death, the LAKE OF FIRE (emphasis added). Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER AND EVER (emphasis added). |
||||||
3160 | Hades tormented? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7687 | ||
"Death is the condition and Hades...the place of the dead." Since it is persons, not conditions or places, that are tormented, then the logical (and biblical) conclusion would be that, no, death and Hades are not tormented forever. |
