Subject: What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 |
Bible Note: 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. |
