Let’s go back to your #29 which doesn’t remotely hold water with Scripture.
Several posters here called you out on it - not just me, and you just deflect and distract with your responses.
You don’t like being called out, sorry!
My ‘tone’ makes folks uncomfortable when I call them out on their made up interpretations.
You want intelligent dialogue? Use Scripture as your baseline.
It does. One can easily read into Revelations that we’re the ones that bring the beasts into our world. I think, traditionally, the common mindset was that they’d be ‘sent’ to us and we’d have to try and recognize their existence.
What is going on with AI is daring whatever is possible to emerge, regardless if we really understand it or can control it.
alien abduction
Could you be a little more specific on what doesn’t hold water? I made three points in that post. Thanks in advance.
I'm convinced we are closer to the parousia than ever before. :-)
I have long said I want to be standing in a cemetery when He returns. I want to see the dead rise from their graves and leap into the sky. Then I’ll join them.
Matt 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.It appears that the flesh will be preserved to live in the millennium.
1000 years after Jesus returns. Then comes the new heaven and earth.
You are correct that He will rule with an iron fist. Psalm 2:7-9 is the reference here.
It’s not the Bride IMHO.
“Flesh” could be those who survived the Tribulation who later became believers in Him and those from the Jewish surviving remnant that will be preserved for the millennium.
This is my take and YMMV.
For more...
Who will occupy the Millennial Kingdom?

That’s fascinating imagery in your post.
I wouldn’t mind that scenario either.
Definitely a topic a bears discussion, if for no other reason, so that people will know why their loved ones have disappeared. I’m putting a video on my computer desktop so that there is no debate, no misunderstanding, why I’m no longer here.
I said #29, I meant your #31.
Here you go:
#1 Never does the Bible call it the rapture. It does state it will be sudden and worldwide.
-It uses the word “rapture” in the Latin Bible. We who use the modern English language have many borrowed words from Latin. You can also use “Harpazo” in the Greek if we wish to use that word.
-Refer to Strongs Concordance 726
Original Word: ἁρπάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: harpazó
Phonetic Spelling: (har-pad’-zo)
Definition: to seize, catch up, snatch away
Usage: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery.
It describes a type of seizing of a person - a “kidnapping” almost.
#2 The others will be killed at the brightness of His coming. So the only ones left in the world will be Satan and his host of demons.
Are you saying that nobody will occupy as flesh during the 1,000 years between the bounding of Satan at The Second Coming/Sheep & Goats Judgement and the Great White Throne Judgement?
If so, explain these:
-Isaiah 35:8-10
-Isaiah 65:20
-Micah 4:2
-Micah 4:6-7
Plus the penalty for not worshipping the Lord during this time:
Zechariah 14:17
#3 Satan will be here with nobody to tempt for a thousand years. A thousand years to contemplate his judgment. In this thousand years of desolation, he will be bound (by circumstance not physical chains).
He will be bound and unable to tempt anybody for 1,000 years. But there will be plenty of flesh on Earth.
Reference the verses above, especially Isaiah 65:20.
I’m using the Bible to reference my responses.
👍
Amen brother!
Agreed and I corrected that immediately on the next post with the word SECRET that was omitted.
Yes it does. I think the same so called ‘saviour ‘ who steps out of the shadows and somehow stops the raining down of missiles will declare that ‘he’ has removed the goats. How could he not be the messiah? That could be so convincing that maybe the elect could indeed be deceived, if they were still here.
——>It the Bible says so, then it is so. Everything else is nonsense.
The bible SAYS that the Little Horn Antichrist power comes out of Pagan ROME, and lasts until the second coming of Christ. Saying that he/it shows up in the last 7 years is NONSENSE.
Why do you keep avoiding this important teaching? Oh, yeah, because it proves that the PTR theory is ridiculous (actually Satanic).
The Reformers accused the Papacy of being the Little Horn/Antichrist power. The Papacy SPECIFICALLY came up with FUTURISM (and Preterism), the beginnings of the PTR theory, in order to deflect this criticism....this was part of the COUNTER REFORMATION.

Daniel 7 is crystal clear that the Little Horn/Antichrist comes out of PAGAN ROME and lasts until the second coming of Christ. The Antichrist is Roman. There is only one entity that it could possibly be. Every biblical clue points to it. Every PROTESTANT REFORMER saw it, which you deny by refusing to discuss it. Absolutely backed up by history.
Biblical baseline: The Little Horn/Antichrist comes out of PAGAN ROME. The point is not even debatable, because that’s what Daniel says. Unfortunately for you, that doesn’t support Darby and the PTR.
Sorry, but this is not the way I read what it says in the Bible.
I understand. Do you think the rapture will be secret? Or that every eye will see it? Do you believe 2 Thessalonians 2:8? How will Satan be bound? I believe it will be by circumstance and you believe what? Physical handcuffs or cage?
