Bible Question: Thank you for your opinion, HeirofGod. I would like to hear from others in the forum...this is interesting and I am sure there are other viewpoints out there. I have no scriptures to back it up but I always thought that the verse there in John was talking about what would happen in heaven when Jesus was on the cross. Can anyone else give me scripture to enlighten the one in John 12:31? |
Bible Answer: I would tend to agree with your interpretation, Hugger, see John 16:11. The Holy Spirit comes to convict the world of judgement because the ruler has been judged, so by the time the apostles received the Holy Spirit, this scripture indicates that GOD's judgement of satan was complete. As for Rev. 12, this will happen during the Tribulation (at least that my interpretaion). And, if I am missing the point on Rev. 12, I didn't take much time to study the passage before answering. My focus was on Jn 16. Please, correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks, and GOD bless!! |
