Matthew 24

Not everyone will be saved even diuring the Millennium though!

 

Satan being bound would mean no more wars, no more natural disasters, no more famines, as this world would have come fully under the Lingdom of Christ then!

 

There will be upon the earth both saved and lost persons at time jesus reigns, just that he rules with rod of iron the nations, so no crime will be permitted to flourish!

 

I use the ASV mostly. There is no such thing as a 'Preterist Bible'.

This is why I point out to you your 'cherry picking'. You ignore or 'breeze over' the parallel passages that don't exactly fit your dogma:

28 Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt 16
1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power. Mk 9
27 But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. Lu 9

IF you're honest about it, the logical conclusion here is that the coming of the Son of man and the coming of the kingdom of God with power are synonymous.

33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. Mt 24
29 even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. Mk 13
31 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lu 21

Again, IF you're honest about it, the logical conclusion here is that the coming of the Son of man and the coming of the kingdom of God are synonymous, AND, "shall in no wise taste of death" defines "This generation shall not pass away", i.e., "this generation" is none other than those living at that time that were contemporary with Christ and the apostles.

But that's not all. Luke 17 also verifies the synonymy of "the Son of man in His day" with "the kingdom of God cometh not with observation".

We'll delve into that if you wish.​

 

No, Jesus is still in heaven, of course, while David's throne is still on earth. Again, remember Jesus' parable of the nobleman going on a long journey to receive his kingdom. Jesus is that nobleman, of course, and He has not yet returned from the journey.

 

We agree so far ... except that he is present with his redeemed people wherever we are.

Have you a Scripture to support that assertion?
But see 1689Dave's post #37 that you quoted.

I suggest you reread Mat. 25. Where does Scripture say that Jesus "going on a long journey to receive his kingdom?"
He is King of kings.

Note -
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favour with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants for ever; his kingdom will never end.’

 

David's Throne is eternal, not of this temporal world. Jesus now reigns on David's Throne in Heaven according to Peter. You are confusing the New Heavens and earth reign of Christ, when God fully restores the kingdom to Israel (us), with his present reign where the kingdom suffers violence and is being restored. Paul says Jesus will deliver the kingdom up to God at the resurrection, when he defeats the last enemy - death. And the present eternal kingdom, fully restored at this point will continue forever in the new heavens and earth.

 

Not necessarily. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36) (KJV 1900)

Unbelievers are under God's wrath, war, mayhem, natural disasters etc. Satan is a liar, but the truth binds him, and sets us free.

 

In Revelation 20, the millennium passage, a problem for Dispensationalism and Premillennialism is: If in Revelation 20:3 Satan cannot deceive the nations during the Millennium (= all are saved), then only believers remain to attack the camp of the saints at the end of the world.

 

If you were to correctly identify the present Gospel age as the Millennium, then some of what you tweet would be correct. See my post #28 to which you replied with the usual one-line tweet -

Have you ever read John 5, where Jesus speaks of conversion as a resurrection, to be contrasted with the general resurrection for judgment.

I'll post it here to save you the trouble of opening your Bible -

24 ‘Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.​

28 ‘Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out – those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.


.

 

The entire earth will have the worship of God and Jesus, all nations to obey Them, when has that happened?

 

Except that scriptures state tyhat satan is let out one last time to fight back against God, and takes many with Him then, correct?

 

When is the First resurrection of the saved then, as the Second One is for the Lost, and there is a time period between those 2 events!

 

Yes1 - I requote my post because you haven't read the Scripture I quoted. Jesus in John 5 speaks of 2 resurrections - spiritual resurrection aka conversion - aka born again .... notice what Jesus said -

a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.​

Notice verse 28-9 - for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out – those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned

The first resurrection is taking place throughout the Gospel age as sinners are converted.

The second resurrection is a future time when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out

The millennium is not tacked on after the Gospel age with glorified believers living on earth with wicked unbelievers. It is the present Gospel age.

Reread Rev. 20. The souls of the martyrs are living with Christ in glory. How can we escape the second death? Only by being saved in the present Gospel age - Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them.

Please read the Scriptures quoted. Your tweets are worthless without supporting Scripture. Are you a preacher? Are your sermons 30 second tweets?

 

First resurrection is given to us by Paul and John as being at Second Coming, not when born again!

 

It all makes sense if we realize the kingdom of God is here now on earth and in heaven where Jesus reigns on David's Throne. And in the New Heavens and Earth where only a saved world will exist. This is the world Jesus is the savior of.

“After these things I looked, and here was an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.” (Revelation 7:9) (NET)

 

This Earth will have a time when the reign of god will be directly upon it, as until, the Second Coming, God is permitting things to go on that will cease to be happening in the Messianic Age!

 

Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world. It is now in heaven. And in the age to come it will be in the New Heavens and earth. All millennial theories fail trying to make his spiritual kingdom physical. Moreover, his kingdom is eternal, not merely 1000 years long.

 

the Eternal realm is when Jesus submitts all things over to God the Father, so jesus reign as the King here upon the Earth is indeed 1000 years!
