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 |

7682 | No Grounds to Spiritualize Rev. 20:4 | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 179376 | ||
"Many make the false assumption that Psalms 90:4 repeated in 2 Peter 3:8 that "one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" is grounds to spiritualize Revelation 20:4. This is obviously a figure of speech. It does not say that one day is a thousand years." (http://www.revelationcommentary.org/20_chapter.html) |

Question: Why will the Devil be released after the Millenium? Answer: "If you tell me why God let him loose in the first place, I'll tell you why he let him go the second time." --J. Vernon McGee |

7684 | 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. |

'A common problem among interpreters of the Bible is that of "shifting gears". If a person approaches his interpretation of the Bible with, for example, a face value hermeneutic, then it is critical that he remain consistent with his approach. However, many often "flip flop" in their interpretation approach to maintain a preconceived understanding of a text. An example of this is the above. Preterists interpret "this generation" in the simple sense as meaning the generation concurrent with Christ and then suddenly "shift gears" and apply a figurative approach to arrive at a spiritualized understanding of the Rapture and the resurrection. That is an inconsistent hermeneutic and leads to error.' ____________________ (Did Jesus Already Return in AD 70? By Rev. Bill Lee-Warner) (http://www.solagroup.org/articles/endtimes/et_0003.html) |

7686 | 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) |

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. |

7691 | 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.'

"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). |

Nolan: Thank you for the good information on death and Hades. Indeed "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. I suppose that if one asks the same question enough times, he may eventually get the answer he wants to hear. |

Tim: You write: "...simply pick out a distinctive sentence and using quotation marks, enter it into your search engine. Thank you for the information. I find it incredibly useful. Although I have been using Google Search and posting to the Forum for years, I did not know that finding the source or full text of a quote was just that simple. For example, a few minutes ago I was looking for the text of the Preface to the New King James Version. First, I entered "Preface New King James Version" in the search field at Google. It returned links to many websites, none of which contained the full text of the Preface. Then I remembered your post and entered word for word a brief quote from the Preface in Google Search. Google immediately returned a link to the full text. From here on out I know I will be making extensive use of this method of finding a text or document. Many thanks to you for the information. Grace to you, Kalos |

Plagiarism Repost of ID# 61096: From the Lockman Foundation: "I want to include a quote from another work in my posting. Can I do that? "If you are not the original creator of the content you submit, you must not violate the rights of the copyright holder by submitting your content without the permission of the copyright holder. You must follow the instructions for quoting material as provided by the copyright holder. You must usually document the title, author, publisher name, and copyright year." (Lockman Foundation) _______ ____: Grace and peace to you. None of the following is intended as harsh criticism of you. Instead, I write what I do to help you avoid certain problems in future postings. When quoting a published source in your postings, great care and attention to detail must be taken to avoid charges of copyright violation or plagiarism -- neither of which I accuse you. I merely point these things out to you. First, according to the Lockman Foundation, "You must usually document the title, author, publisher name, and copyright year" of the material you are quoting. For example, it would have been better in your post had you placed the following information at the bottom of the page, enclosed in parentheses: (UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE: Interpretation, The Ryrie Study Bible, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Moody, 1976, 1978) Second, when using direct quotations, by all means enclose them in quotation marks. Third, avoid editing the quoted material. The safest course is to quote it verbatim. For example, you attribute the content of your posting to the Ryrie Study Bible. Then you write in quotes: "These are suggestions only, towards basic concepts of interpretation..." The actual quote in Ryrie's own words is: "These suggestions are simply facets of the basic concept of plain interpretation." To paraphrase Ryrie's sentence as you did is to alter the meaning the author intended. Again please do not take this post as a rebuke. That is the furthest thing from my mind. I appreciate you and the post you submitted. You make excellent points there. My only motive is to spare you any problems that might arise from not giving proper attribution. Grace and peace be multiplied to you, Kalos |

How can I be certain God won't erase my name from the book of life? 'We will begin . . . by looking first at what the New Testament has to say concerning the book of life. (...) 'The apostle John refers to the "book of life" five other times in Revelation. From two of these passages it becomes evident that he certainly did not believe names could be erased: 'And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been WRITTEN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. Revelation 13:8, emphasis added. 'And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. Revelation 17:8, emphasis added. 'In these passages John informs us about the time when the book of life was filled out. This information comes as a surprise. Without it, our assumption would be that when men or women put their trust in Christ, their names were added at that moment. But that is not the case at all. The book of life has been complete since the foundation of the world. 'By "world," John does not mean "earth." In both passages "earth" and "world" appear. These are from two different Greek words. The one translated "earth" means just that--this ball of dirt upon which we live. The Greek word translated "world" is kosmos from which we get our English word cosmos. 'John is using "world" here to refer to the entire universe (see John 1:3; Acts 17:24). In light of the scientific limitations of John's day, it could very well be a reference to all created things. Either way, his point is the same: THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS FILLED OUT BEFORE THE FIRST ENTRY WAS EVER BORN. 'If that is the case, God's foreknowledge had a great deal to do with who was written in and who was not. In anticipation of Christ's death on man's behalf, God wrote the names of those He knew from eternity past would accept His gracious offer. The apostle Paul had this same idea in mind when he wrote, 'Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. (Ephesians 1:4) 'God wrote before we did anything. He filled out the book of life in anticipation of what He knew we would do. Therefore, He did not write in response to what we ACTUALLY did; rather, He wrote in response to what He KNEW we would actually do. 'This distinction is very important. For if God put names in the book as history unfolded--as we actually believed ---it could be argued that He erases them as history unfolds as well. But if God entered names according to His foreknowledge, it follows that He would erase them according to His foreknowledge, which makes no sense at all. If God wrote and erased according to foreknowledge, both His writing and His erasing would be complete before the world began. In that case, no one needs to live with the fear that his or her name will be erased from the book of life sometime in the future. But if that is the case, Revelation 3:5 is no longer a problem. 'Missing Persons 'There is a second reason these passages eliminate the possibility of names being erased. Both passages indicate that the lost people in these verses had never had their names written in the book of life. John does not say these names were simply not in the book at that time. He says, "Everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world." 'Who is he talking about here? "All who dwell on the earth." In other words, no lost persons alive at that time had ever had their names in the book of life. Of course, they had never had their names erased from the book, either. 'The only way around this problem for those who hold to the ERASABLE NAME VIEW is to maintain that all the unsaved people who had their names erased were already dead by this time in history. That is certainly possible, but it is highly unlikely. It is especially unlikely in light of the intense persecution those who name the name of Christ will be facing during this time (see Revelation 13:7).' ____________________ Eternal Security: Can You Be Sure? by Dr. Charles Stanley (http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) |

American Standard Version (1901) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. NASB and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. NIV And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. NRSV if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. Holman Christian Standard Bible And if anyone takes away from the words of this prophetic book, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, written in this book. TEV And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book. New Living Translation And if anyone removes any of the words of this prophetic book, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. New Century Version And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away that one's share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book. GOD'S WORD Translation If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book. World English Bible If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. The Bible in Basic English And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book. The Darby Translation And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Wesley's New Testament and that if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the holy city--the things described in this book. The point of my answer is that in Revelation 22:19 the editors of the NASB, NIV and 11 other translations of the Bible chose the reading "tree of life" rather than "the book of life." In these 13 translations "How does God take away his part out of the book of life?" becomes a moot question. |
