My problem is with the "binding "of Satan...and a 2000 year millenium....
Matthew 13:40 So it will be at the end of this
aion. Matthew specifically identifies the
aion of the sowing of the seed as an indefinitely long period of time. But, what happens at the end of this
aion? The angels will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend and cast them into the furnace of Fire.
Matthew 13:49 So it will be at the end of the
aion. Matthew specifically identifies that at the end of the
aion the angels will separate the wicked from the just and cast the wicked into the furnace of fire.
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them [the nations] one from another,.... And He will set the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.
Notice when the wicked [goats] will be separated from the sheep [just] ~~ when the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the holy angels with Him. Matthew 25 says that this will happen when the Lord returns. Matthew 13 says that this will happen at the end of this age. Matthew 25 says that when the goats are separated from the sheep that they will head to the everlasting fire. This is not Hades. This is Geenna, the Lake of Fire.
Now, the argument can be made, and has been made by ksen, that the Lord returns and then there is 1000 years then the wicked are removed. However, this means that all things that offend remain in the Paradise kingdom for 1000 years (Mat 13:40) and all the wicked remain in the Paradise kingdom for 1000 years (Mat 13:49) and all the goats remain in the Paradise kingdom for 1000 years (Mat 25). This is a problem indeed as the PreMillennialists tell us that Paradise will not have offensive things or people in it. They tell us that the gospel will not be preached for the kingdom and the King will be visible.
And John 5:29 tells us that all the dead will be raised in an
hour, both the good and the bad. So, in this Paradise kingdom Hitler and Stalin and Kahn and the Hun will roam free for 1000 years in this Paradise.
As for Satan, maybe we can BBQ him later. Are you and I at least in agreement about what Matthew says will happen at the end of this
aion when the Son of Man comes in His glory? And do we both agree that Matthew says that this
aion and an indefinite period of time for the spreading of the word of God [the seed]?
