@pbcmike98 Tell us all how you know the trumpet blast of the rapture is the same as the ones described later by John in Revelation. (The events of Rev. 11 do not corollate with what Paul describes in I Cor. 15).

@WarriorPrstBlog Oh please. Which trumpet blast is the rapture? The last one. You think it's before the first one. Stop being a hypocrite.

“After this…,” “Then..,” “Then..,” “Then…,” Rev. 19 —> Return of Christ Rev. 20 —> Millennial Kingdom Rev. 21 & 22 —> Eternal State Amillennialism cannot withstand a plain, face-value reading of the text. It must spiritualize, & allegorize - all without biblical warrant.

@Tolerantly_Int The answer to both is in the context provided by the preceding verses.

@WarriorPrstBlog If Rev 22 is Eternal State, can you explain verses 11 and 15?

@parousia70 @wtanksleyjr Right there in verse 5.

@WarriorPrstBlog @wtanksleyjr Where is there mention of a second resurrection? How many times does a person's need to be raised from death?

@shekenahglory So…? Further clarifying information does not constitute “reinterpretation.” The inclusion of the Gentiles into God’s people without circumcision or adherence to the Mosaic Law wasn’t spoken of by the OT prophets, either.

@WarriorPrstBlog No OT prophet spoke of a finite messianic kingdom followed by an eternal state - you have to reinterpret the OT through your interpretation of Revelation to get that understanding.

@parousia70 @wtanksleyjr Incorrect, according to the Word of God.

@WarriorPrstBlog @wtanksleyjr There is only one resurrection, with Jesus as the prótos (chief, primary, first born) resurrection.

@shekenahglory So?

@WarriorPrstBlog 2 resurrections separated by 1000 years isn’t found anywhere in the OT (or anywhere outside of this chapter of Revelation) and neither is Satan ruling the world for 2000 years after the Messiah comes.

Two resurrections separated by 1,000 years where Christ reigns. Amillennialism is a system imposed on the scriptures, not a valid conclusion derived from them.

@wtanksleyjr There’s a reason for “first” and “second” Thessalonians. You cannot read II Thess. in context without acknowledging I Thess. There are two resurrections separated by 1,000 years:

@WarriorPrstBlog "plain, face-value reading" of Revelation 19-20 all in a straight line - OK. How about a plain, face-value reading of 2 Thess 1-2 all in a straight line, putting the judgment of the wicked and the comfort of all of the righteous on the same day? You can't have both.

@jimmyblack33 @NintendoSteve Where does Jesus clearly state that the OT authors were only ever writing about Him? (Or, “by extension,” the Church?)

@WarriorPrstBlog @NintendoSteve Jesus clearly states that the OT authors were writing about Him -- so thus, by extension, His Body. :) Only one truly acknowledges the fully reigning King Jesus, now and forevermore. “The Great God Pan is Dead!” Share the Gospel so that others may live.

@NintendoSteve Yeah, the end of child mortality, animal predation and war have not been fulfilled in the Church. And they never will be, either. Because Isaiah and the prophets were not writing about the Church. Know how I know? Because the Bible tells us who they were writing to and about.

@WarriorPrstBlog The Jews thought (and still think) their straightforward reading of prophecy was what rules out Jesus as the Messiah. They thought he was supposed to send out armies to conquer the world (Zech 9). They failed to see these things were fulfilled in the church. Same for Isaiah.

@NintendoSteve We are most definitely not living in the millennial kingdom:

@NintendoSteve You would never conclude they were not meant to be chronological without presuppositional commitment. Read it plainly like John knew how to write according to basic rules of communication. And there’s a reason for “first” and “second” Thessalonians. Chronology is part of context

NASA Artemis passing close to the Moon

Zechariah 14: sin, rebellion, judgment and punishment exist on the earth after the return of Christ and the establishment of His millennial kingdom (not to mention survivors of the war against Jerusalem.) Amillennialism cannot account for chapters like this one.

If the way that seems right to men leads to death, how could we ever conclude that saving faith comes from within ourselves? No, the children of God are not born by the will of man but by the will of God alone (John 1:13).

You’ve got all this garbage in your head about what things “really mean.” Pastors, authors, podcasters, seminarians and educators gave it to you. Just read the book. Just read it believing God knows how to communicate and actually means what He says to the people He says it to.

🚨 Launch of the Artemis II rocket seen from a passing commercial plane (via @radddd44)

NEW: NASA's Artemis II has successfully blasted off, launching toward the Moon for the first lunar voyage in 53 years. Here is what to expect next: - Mission is 10 total days. - The crew will get 5000 miles from the Moon's surface. - The crew will sleep in two four-hour periods. - On Day 2, Orion engines will accelerate the spacecraft to escape velocity and send them toward the Moon. - On Days 3-5, the crew will fine-tune the approach to the Moon. - Day 6 is when the crew flies by the Moon. They will be about 250,000 miles from the Earth. - Days 6-7, the crew will fine-tune their approach back to Earth. - On Day 10, the crew will put on their proper suits and get ready for reentry. - They will reenter Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour. - Two parachutes will slow the capsule to 17 miles per hour. - They will splash down off the coast of San Diego, California.

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!
