Christian dogma never accepted any such surrender by Christ accompanied by an evacuation and whether a single individual theorized on that possibility or not makes no difference any more than all the other Self and Self Alone personal opinions make any difference.

I don't see surrender at all. But if you would like to discuss the passages, I will respond.

LOL, that's some willful blindness.

Christ comes and dies on the cross and in doing so totally defeats Satan. But, someone actually believes that sometime later Christ comes, evacuates all those who believe in Him and leaves the world completely in Satan's hands again but that's not surrender at all ? Funny thing, though, that's exactly what Satan was trying to tempt Christ into doing, accepting Satan as the ruler of this world and all those in it.

If someone wants to believe that Christ is a failure and will have to evacuate His people in order to regroup, that's their business, but the Bible says Christ has already conquered Satan and that means Satan won't be given total free reign over it again. Not for seven years, not for three and a half years, not even for three and a half minutes. Period.

Why not discuss, Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. . . .  in Hebrews ?
Refusing to believe that explicitly stated instruction in Scripture is the root cause for all the deluded Self and Self Alone folks falling for whatever bestselling twisting of Scripture suits their personal preferences.
