"..as Arthur Pink pointed out in his commentary on Hebrews, the death of Christ really was the capital (beheading) punishment of the entire Body."

I haven't read his commentary, but will definately make it a point to do so at my first opportunity. (Gotta head out to the courthouse right now to get some work done).

Bump for your post! And thanks for the reference!!!

Now I could live with this discription below...BUT I think that doc said (if I understood correctly) That the FR amils do not accept a duel kingdom idea..(if I understood correctly?? (post 1813) Most amills definitely do argue that the millennial reign of Christ and His saints is centered in HEAVEN while church history is developing on EARTH.
But FR's amills, as far as I can tell, do not make a separation between these ideas even if we distinguish between them.

"Study scripture carefully leaning upon it's Words alone (Sola Scriptura) and the Holy spirit will guide you into truth. Accept the words of men and of Church traditions and you set yourself up for a great fall by building upon unsound foundation. Souls of those who are beheaded for Christ's sake do not rise up out of the earth to reign literally in Jerusalem. The Saints upon their death immediately go to Heaven to Reign with Christ! The teaching that this chapter says souls are literally reigning on earth in Jerusalem, is untenable. But it's repeated so often that those who do not carefully compare Theologians words with the scriptures, have actually told me that this was explicitly written there. i.e., they heard it so much that they really think that this verse actually says that. In Reality John says (the Word of God says) that he saw souls "of" the martyred, reigning! He saw the souls of those killed (Beheaded). Not Souls (which could be people), and not Martyrs, but the "Souls, of the martyrs!" And since when does souls of the dead Martyrs reign on the earth? Why would a soul apart from his body, be reigning in a literal city in the middle east? These souls reign in the Jerusalem from above, not in an earthly nation, Holy City, or Holy Temple. A Spiritual Holy Nation, the Jerusalem from above (Gal. 4:26). " From Revelation 20 Tony Warren

Help!
