8381 | Inhabitants of kingdom on earth | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 30188 | ||
Kalos I read the site too. I have an off the subject question have you or anyone else gotten a hardcopy of the NET Bible? What is it like? (bindings, page quality, margins etc.) As for the web site it is very interesting. But you have to remember it is written from a Dallas Theological perspective. That is not all bad it just means it reflects the teaching of Scofield and etc. One point they made is, the only way to take the Bible literally is to except their explanation of the millennium. I disagree, I probably take the Bible more literally than most and I feel their explanation of the millennium leaves many unanswered questions. EdB |

8382 | Logic in timing in steps. | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 118198 | ||
Can anyone see a fault in this line of thinking so far ? Yes! All of those that feel the church has to be raptured before the beast can be revealed. All of those that feel the tribulation has taken place and we are living in a time after it. All of those that feel church will be raptured before the tribulation. Your case while based on what you consider logical evidence can be refuted by others using evidence which is also logical. In fact there are probably an equal number of theologians that hold to pre trib, mid trib with a smaller percentage holding to post trib and an even smaller but vocal group that holds to the belief Nero, Dominion, or one of the other Caesars was the beast referred to in John's account of the Revelation.

8383 | "beheading" in modern times? | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 124862 | ||
Pastor Glenn You need to subscribe to "The Voice of the Martyrs" a publication that details the suffering Christians endure throughout the world (they have a website). There have been more Christians martyred in the last 10 years than in all of history, and the number keeps increasing. Incidentally beheading is the prescribed form of capital punishment in Islam and is commonly used today, our press simply neglects to tells us. The press also fails to tell of young Arab boys taken out and nailed through their feet and knees to wooden frames and left to die simply because they went to a Christian meeting. Or of the young women, mothers and daughters sold into sexual slavery because they are Christians. Or the thousands hacked to death in refugee camps by Islamic rebels. These weren’t clean quick deaths but long agonizing and brutal deaths caused by wounds inflicted by machetes, shovels, hoes, and even barred wire. It fails to tell of the atrocities of mothers having their breasts hacked off so they can never feed another infidel. Of the men having their genitalia ripped from their bodies so they can never breed another infidel. We live in America where the health wealth gospel is easily preached and accepted while around us, brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered, mutilated, enslaved and abused. You know what these dear people are praying as they are dying? That persecution will come to the US so the “Christians” will get saved and they too will hear “Well done good and faithful servant.” EdB |

8384 | "beheading" in modern times? | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 124865 | ||
To all Excuse me I missed a zero I meant to say there have been more Christians killed in the 100 years than all the years before that. In other words there have 75 million men and women and children killed in the last two thousand years because they called Jesus Christ Lord and of that total 45 Million have died in the last 100 years. While the Holocaust was a horrific event, tragedy and a shame to all mankind it's 13 plus million pales in the light of 75 million. In the last 10 years an average of 160,000 Christians a year are murdered, most at the hands of Islam. These numbers speak nothing of the thousands upon thousands that live in shadow of death as you read this or the still thousands more that are imprisoned, enslaved and being summarily mistreated around the world. There is a price for serving God, thankfully we here in the US haven’t had to pay our share. None of us really realize how God has blessed us and how apathetic we have become in thanking Him for it.

8385 | order of events | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 235164 | ||
The actual sequence of events and even their occurance is matter of what Eschatological discipline you hold to. There is an excellent book Revelation 4 Views A Parallel Commentary edited by Steve Gregg and published by Nelson Publishing that does an very good job at fairly presenting at least the four most common views of Eschatology (study of End Times) It would serve you well to get and study this book. Being from a dispensational/futuristic believing denomination I could give you our view but I'm sure someone from a Preterist, Historicist or Spiritual point of view would give another. So to fairly represent all views you really need to get this book and understand each's position then using your Bible decide for yourself what your Eschatology is going to be. |

Searcher56 If I may I would like to suggest a book for you to consider in your teaching endeavor. Revelations Four views A Parallel Commentary edited by Steve Gregg and published by Nelson. ISBN 0-8407-2128-5 This is an excellent book that presents the four views of Revelation, Historicists, Preterist, futurists, Spiritualist view along with discussions on pretrib, midtrib, postrib and no trib along with Premillennial, Postmillennial, and Amillennial. The book does this in a fair and balanced way and anyone from any of the above schools of thought will find their position was thoroughly represented in an unbiased manner. |

8387 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | EdB | 21241 | ||
Tim I agree with most everything you said but I wonder about your conclusion of King Gyges as being Gog. In Ezekiel 38:2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,” The scriptures refer to Gog as prince of the area or Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Many have identified Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal to be the northern Africa, and the area we call the Middle East and the parts of southern Russia, Turkey and that area. Most of what we recognize as the Islamic world or area having the highest concentration of Muslems. Many times the term “prince” in the Bible is used to talk about demonic spiritual beings cf. Daniel 10:20. I wonder if the scripture isn’t talking about Islam and spiritual force behind Islam when it is talking about Magog and Gog. Just a thought. EdB |

8392 | white throne judgement based on? | Rev 20:11 | EdB | 103613 | ||
Revelations chapter 20 starting in verse 11 is a full description of the White Throne of Judgement. | ||||||
8393 | God died for our sins why are we judged | Rev 20:11 | EdB | 146999 | ||
If your in relationship (saved) with Christ you will not be judged for your sins. If you look at Rev 20 beginning in verse 11 you will see everyone that appears for judgement does so because they rejected Jesus Christ the died in their sins. Now why do we have to keep repenting of our sins. Our sins strain our relationship with Christ. Just as our children's misbehavior strains ours. However when our children ask for forgiveness we are quick to forgive and embrace them. So to is the relationship between our Heavenly Father and us. When we admit our faults, asking for forgiveness He is quick to embrace us. Our failure to admit our sins and repent speaks more of our lack of character than of anything else. God in an effort to build character will use such times to chasten us. I have found it far more profitable not to sin to begin with, but if I do to repent and ask forgiveness immediately rather than wait for God to use the situation to build character. EdB |

8394 | Does God say that He'll end Hell? | Rev 20:14 | EdB | 102026 | ||
GZwee We have the incorrect impression that Hades which is translated Hell is the place of punishment. It is not. The Lake of Fire is the place of punishment. Yes Hades (Hell) and death will take their place in that lake of fire, along with Satan and all who's name is not written in the Lamb's book of life Read Revelation chapters 20-22 for the full picture EdB |

8395 | books in chapter 20:15 | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 118622 | ||
If you speaking about the books in rev 20:14,15 there are two. One the Lamb's Book of Life where every believers name is recorded and the other we assume to be the works both rigtheous and unrighteous of those that did not trust in Jesus for salvation. As that book is opened every unbeliever will see revealed before him his unrigtheousness and understand his judgment is just. Make sure you name is written in the Lamb's book of Life and you wouldn't have to be concerned about the other book EdB |

8396 | reassurance of lambs book of life | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 118701 | ||
karen757 It is real simple John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is a promise if we believe we will be saved (have our name written in the Lambs book of Life). Understand the word believe here carries more than just head knowledge that Jesus once lived on this earth. It also speaks of a faithful trusting heart in that we depend on Jesus Christ and nothing else for our salvation. Trust and beleive that is all you need, let the Holy spirit lead you in all the ways you should go. EdB |

8397 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 225643 | ||
The wicked that didn't accept Jesus aren't judged, there really isn't anything to judge. If their name isn't written in the Book of Life they are just sentenced to lake of fire. Notice the wording in this verse they aren't judged they are sentenced on one condition is their name in the Book of Life or not | ||||||
8398 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 225671 | ||
First let me make one little comment. I to support the idea that doctrine needs to be established in scripture but we must be careful we don't simply "proof text" ourselves to death. That said let us begin a thought process. Romans 3:23 (NASB) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Haven't all of mankind been judged already based on this statement? If the righteous died we believe them to be present with the lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 (NASB) 8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. And do we not believe the unrighteous that die go to a holding place called Hell or Hades where there is a hot dry place. Luke 16:19 passage Again doesn't that tell us there has been a judgment? Or this? John 3:18 (NASB) 18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. What then keeps us from eternal damnation? John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Neither our works nor our sins condemns us what condemns us is our failure to accept salvation through Christ Jesus. Revelation 20:15 (NKJV) 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. So when I say the Unrigtheous aren't judged I mean because of the fact that all mankind has already been judged and found guilty and condemned to eternal damnation there is no judgement needed only the sentencing of those that failed to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. |
||||||
8399 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 225672 | ||
Perhaps if you had read my statement with a little less passion you would have seen I was echoing John 3:17-18 (NASB) 17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And I was not trying to sell a false religion. |

8400 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | EdB | 225685 | ||
Beja Who is Acts written to? Pagans sure they can read it but it was written to the Christians and yes there will be a judgement of our lives. We are told our works will be thrown into the furnance and all stubble will be burned off and what will be left is pure gold. I believe at the BEMA Seat of Judgement each Christian will have his works judged as per all the places you cite in scripture. However for those that rejected Christ, there is no need to judge God has already declared them to be in sin as is all the world, what is left if you will is the actual excution of the their sentence which is to be thrown into the lake of fire. If a comdemned man is sentenced to die what is the point of judging all the sins that got him sentenced? One sin is no worst than another and to have any sin that is not under the blood of Christ means your name isn't in the book of life and the sentence is the Lake of Fire. What you are doing is proof texting your answer by supplying all the referenced to Judgement but you are missing the big point. We were all guilty of sin and the judgement of sin is death. That Judgement is over. But Jesus died for our sins and therefore to secure forgiveness of our judgement we must accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and trust that His death did pay for our sins. In other words we must have our names written in the book of life. Now if you want to believe looking in the book of life for our names is judgement okay I will go with that. But that's what it is going to come down for those that don't accept salvation through Christ Jesus. |
