Your position doesn't even reconcile with Daniel 9, let alone the rest of the Bible. Daniel's 70th week would have to already have happened for the Millennial Reign of Christ to have commenced. It has not happened yet.
Daniel 9:24 gives 6 specific conditions that will come about at the conclusion of the 70th week, which commences the Millennial Reign:
"Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place."
Do we have everlasting righteousness? Nope.
Has all iniquity been atoned for? Nope.
Have we seen the end of sin? Nope.
Case closed.
First off you COMPLEATY disregarded the big question I asked you. Why is that? Is it because your view of End Times is so new it still wears diapers and wets the bed?
Oh yeah? How would you know? You didn't ask me what my position on those were or how the fall into post-mill eschatology DID YOU? No. The case is "closed" only because YOU didn't look past the log in your eye. YOU put YOUR timeline into the scripture and wanted instant gratification...... kinda like the Jews that rejected Jesus as the Messiah because he wasn't doing it the way they thought it would happen. God loves to replay the same mistakes over again so people take the lessons to heart. Thanks for being the lesson today.
Oh and hey playa, if you recall I posted this in a comment YOU replied to:
and guess what playboi? Daniel 9 and practically everything else you brought up is covered there.. If OnLy It CoUlD rEaD!
AND if you have an issue you don't see covered AFTER you review those lectures and DEBATES that bring up the same things you did..... yet didn't bother to look at..... THEN we can continue and cover anything that wasn't covered.
Here's the kicker though, not a single Apostle or one of our founding fathers shared your view of end times because.. it was FRINGE and hardly anyone was pre-mill.
The medieval doctrine of the millennium by referring to it as “the church of God which, by the diffusion of its faith and works, is spread out as a kingdom of faith from the time of the incarnation until the time of the coming judgment”.[32]
A notable exception to normative medieval eschatology is found in Joachim of Fiore (c. 1135–1202), a Cistercian monk, who to an extent, stressed premillennial themes. Joachim divided earth's history into three periods. He assigned each age to a particular person of the Trinity as the guiding principle of that era. The first era was the Old Testament history and was accordingly the age of the Father; the current age of the church was the age of the Son; and still in Joachim's future was the age of the Spirit. For Joachim, year 1260 was to mark the end of the second and the beginning of the third and final golden age of earth's history.[33]
During the Reformation period, amillennialism continued to be the popular view of the Reformers. The Lutherans formally rejected chiliasm (millennialism) in The Augsburg Confession. “Art. XVII., condemns the Anabaptists and others ’who now scatter Jewish opinions that, before the resurrection of the dead, the godly shall occupy the kingdom of the world, the wicked being everywhere suppressed.’"[34] Likewise, the Swiss Reformer Heinrich Bullinger wrote up the Second Helvetic Confession, which reads "We also reject the Jewish dream of a millennium, or golden age on earth, before the last judgment."[35] Furthermore, John Calvin wrote in Institutes that millennialism is a "fiction" that is "too childish either to need or to be worth a refutation".[36] The Anglican Church originally formalized a statement against millenarianism in the Anglican Articles.
Go watch the playlist. You'll learn something.
I am not spending 27 hours watching a playlist that tries to claim the rapture is a Jesuit conspiracy. That's ludicrous. It's in the Bible. If you'd like to explain how Daniel's 70th week has already been fulfilled, I'm all ears...
Cool, good thing the one I sent you was only about 9 hours of videos that stand on their own and the playlist was a collection of videos and talks of all types pertaining to the broader subject. Since it's not from just one or 2 verses, it's throughout scripture. Example: How can you believe the good will be swept off the earth in a rapture while the wicked are left alive behind..... IF in the "last days" it will be like in the days of Noah.
We should both know that the Noah and the ark were foreshadows of and representative of Christ and salvation. There are at least a half dozen parallels I can think of off the top of my head. i.e. it only had one door & Jesus said "I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved." in John 10:9. That's THE door, not a door and only those inside were saved from God's judgment.... just like the "flock" of animals Noah 'shepherded" in.
Now who was swept off the Earth in Noah's age? Was it the good and those that were in the ark (Christ) or was it the wicked that God's judgment came on and they were swept away? Does the wheat get removed BEFORE the Chaff is burned? No. The Chaff burns and the wheat remains and on and on and on. Those are just a couple basic examples of what picture the whole of scripture paints us.
And I'm not spending an hour talking to you as you've already misrepresented me, my position, and now something about Jesuits that's not my position, it's in the title of ONE of the videos in that list that also covers some other interesting points. Judge books by their cover do ya? That's not wise is it?
Go watch ONE of the debates or sermons in there of the discussion between James White and Douglas Wilson where Dr White (One of the leading authorities in the WORLD on Biblical translation and textual transmission) talks about what brought him from the tradition he was taught and held most of his life (your position) to post-millennialism. Or don't. If you're all ears click the play button. If you're a prideful person that can't process new information because it could show you that you've been wrong then you are unteachable and close minded.
Have a good one. I'm all done here and unlike you I have spent FAR more that 27 hours examining all 3 positions without misrepresenting them and how they hold up to scripture and scrutiny.
In the flood, Noah and his family, the righteous, were removed to a safe place, the ark, while judgement was brought on all those who were left behind. In the rapture, the saved will be removed to a safe place, in the air with Christ for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, while judgement is brought on the earth and all the unsaved left in it. Safe place = Ark / Marriage Supper. Unsafe place = left behind on the earth.
I actually did watch one of your videos, the Jesuit one. Have you watched it? All the way through? He outright mocks, not only scripture, but Jesus' own words! It's at the 25 minute mark (https://youtu.be/i3hXKNTMuEY?t=1483). He ridicules the idea that a wife sleeping next to her husband may be taken up in the rapture while the husband is left behind in the bed. But, that's EXACTLY what Jesus said will happen!
Matthew 24:38-41 "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left."
Do you still say these videos stand on their own? I picked one at random to watch and the guy either doesn't know very basic things in scripture or he is deliberately misrepresenting it.
