[Lord_Calvinus]

***If the second coming was fulfilled in 70 AD why hasn’t Satan been bound?***

Let me clarify 2 things:

#1. None of the Preterist here believe that THE second coming was fulfilled in 70AD. At least, how the Dispensationalists understand it phrase. There are many who do believe that there was a coming in judgment on the nation of Israel and on Jerusalem, but there are not HERE any who believe that the events in 70AD completed ALL prophecy in the Bible.

#2. It is a simple gospel matter that Satan has been bound, and has always been bound in one form or fashion. It is just that he is NOT bound, nor will ever be bound, in the sense that Premillennialists of all stripes claim that he will be bound during the Mellinnial reign of Christ.

This is gospel: the strongman has been bound and the Lord is currently plundering his house.

It is just that he is NOT bound, nor will ever be bound, in the sense that Premillennialists of all stripes claim that he will be bound during the Mellinnial reign of Christ.

= = =

Brazen FALSEHOOD yet again.

BTW, it is

SCRIPTURE that describes satan's being bound during the millenium

AND IT IS SCRIPTURE

that THEN describes

him being loosed for a season--evidetnly a relatively short season--to tempt those born during the millenium.

AND IT IS SCRIPTURE

that THEN describes

him being bound to the bottomless pit and, so to speak, the key being thrown away.

Replacementarians who have a problem with those descriptions and that sequence have a bigger beef with God and His Word than they ever imagined having with Dispies.

Thankfully, GOD IS FAITHFUL IN EXECUTING HIS WORD EMPHATICALLY AND TO THE TINIEST DETAIL.

Witness the "higher criticisms" and secular, hostile archeologsts

of the last 100+ years

WHO ALL EMPHATICALLY INSISTED

that this or that Biblical detail

HAD to be symbolic, literary license, figurative etc. because it just COULD NOT be literally true . . .

only to have subsequent diggings prove every detail to be literally and precisely true.

The Replacementarians are in philosophical bed with such forces hostile to Scripture, God and the Truth.

They, too, shall find God's Word emphatically and precisely and overwhelmingly LITERALLY proven true repeatedly in coming months and years.

Their contrariness on such scores will not hinder God's fulfillment of His Word a gnat's burp's worth.

but there are not HERE any who believe that the events in 70AD completed ALL prophecy in the Bible.

Thanks for the clarification. It is a simple gospel matter that Satan has been bound, and has always been bound in one form or fashion.

Do you believe the binding at the start of the 1,000 yr reign is different?
