That's a great list!

But mine would be a little different, because I would be distinguishing between two distinct times-- the 1,000 year millennial Kingdom of Christ, versus the later perpetual state with the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem.

I John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

so I started a thread in the New Jerusalem group and then came here, and now I see that watchmanjim responded to rt 's list above. We (I, sorry, I speak for myself) have been so focused on the Rapture, I never lurked much in either of these two categories on the Forum Main Page. Maybe it is time to open up more conversation "while we are watching!"

Throne of God and the Lamb are in it- Revelation 22:3 (after it descends to earth)

We are in the 1k earthly reign with Christ, right now.

What evidence do you have?

And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy are You to receive the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood purchased us to God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and made us to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and we shall reign over the earth. (Rev 5.9 – 10)

Rev 5 informs the reader that it was Jesus’ blood, from His death upon The Cross, which purchased us to God.

Thus, a transaction took place at The Cross. The Greek informs us that a transfer in ownership occurred, where we became Jesus’ possession.

So, from whom did Jesus ‘purchase’ us from?

He purchased us from Satan.

Satan was bound at The Cross.

It was Jesus’ death upon The Cross that transferred our ownership from Satan to that of God.

When Satan was bound, we became Jesus’ property; we were also given a kingdom, earth, in which to reign and rule over, with Christ.

This fact is doubly confirmed in Rev 20.2 – 3, in which Satan is first bound, and then, immediately afterward, Rev 20.4 declares the reigning with Christ.

The period of time that we have to reign on earth (Rev 20.4), is the same time in which Satan is bound (Rev 20.2).

Like many things mentioned in the Book of Revelation, time passage is also recorded with varying epithets.

The ‘1,000 year reign’ of Christ/with Christ (i.e. The First Resurrection) is the period of time commencing from the binding of Satan at the Cross until the final return of Christ. During this period of time, Satan is rendered impotent as far as possessing people – other than that of his demons, which are freely roaming.

Likewise, during this same period of time, mankind is allowed to populate the planet, spread the Gospel, and allow time for The Righteous to come to Christ.

Scripture must be congruent and not conflict.....I agree that Satan is defeated at the cross, but he is also loosed on the earth, shatters the power of the saints, overcomes the saints, conquers the saints, and the earth is full of woe according to Rev 12 and Daniel.....from your view, how do you account for this, and do you believe satanic forces are not involved with the seals of Revelation?

Scripture declares that we are reigning with Christ, not me.

We are reigning because Satan is bound....hence Jesus' work upon The Cross.

When Satan is released from the abyss, then Jesus will return shortly after, at the end of the First Resurrection.

Satan is bound...but his demons are not.

1 Peter 5.8 does not refer to ‘The Devil’ himself, for several reasons:

• ‘Diabolos’ is anarthrous (i.e. it lacks a preceding Greek definite article). Thus, rather than referring to ‘The Devil’ it refers to ‘A devil’, a demon – of which, the NT often refers to demons as devils.

• ‘Ho antidikos’ (the adversary) is used in only one other NT passage, Mat 5.25, and is in the context of being thrown into prison.

• The key word ‘hōs’ literally means ‘in the same manner as’, and is used to describe demons in Revelation, ‘in the same manner as’ a lion (Rev 9.8).

• This passage does not pertain to 'The Devil"....but 'A devil'...i.e. a demon...
