Respectable nonsense. Sorry brother. Well it’s better than no sense at all. Did you mean you do not agree with the idea of parables teaching us as a kingdom of priest from all nations how to walk by faith, concealing the mysteries from the faithless? I would ofer the parable below.
What does it teach?
Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
I would think if no desire to search no conclusion to the parable .Historical is what we have the literal (no mixing of faith . I would think both are needed to find the conclussion .
Sons of God are the believers. Abel is the first son of God accredited by the fullness of Christ grace that worked in him .His blood cries out from the corrupted heart of earth, longing to be clothed with the promised new incorruptible body which as sons of God we are. Not what we will be The new bride made up of all the nations of the world .
Those who mix faith the unseen with the temporal seen they receive the rest yoked with Christ. They would refuse to make Jesus into a circus seal like the faithless outward Jews
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
It would seem when looking at the parable in Revelation 20 you forgot to consider the interpretation instruction in the first verse. It I believe teaches us that not only did the Holy Spirit inspire the thoughts of God from heaven ( the whole book all the chapters ), but also signified it, the language of parables or called hidden manna in Revelation 2. The bread of unfamiliarly revealing the mysteries hid.
Thousands years is the same kind of metaphor used in other parables the first three times in the bible to represent a unknown (faith issue.) .God does not number days or people rather than us walking by faith (the unseen ) .
The word “thousand” is used many, many times throughout the Bible to represent an unknown as to whatever is in view. he owns the catle on a thosand hill repsents he own all . Many many demonstrations using thousand, ten and hundreds in mutiples for rightly dividing the parables.( mixing faith)
No signs where given to wonder after . . never coming to faith (beleif) the conclusion . Those who do seek after a sign before they will believe God or exercise the faith of Christ that works in the believer today God sends them a strong delusion so that they can continue to believe the lie and wonder, wonder and continue to wonder never coming to the end of faith the salvation of one’s soul .
You could say it makes way for the purgatory false doctrine of wondering marveling ecited the flesh .extending time after one takes there last breath with no end to it .
Revelation 1 King James Version (KJV) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
The word thousand as to whatever is in view is used many times to represent an unknown.(faith issue)
No signs to wonder after were given. And God is no longer bringing any new revelations; the Book of Revelation is the last chapter in the book of law the Bible. It is sealed with seven seals till the end of time, the last day under the Sun. There are no laws missing by which we could know God more intimately. Our armor of God protects us informing, if any man after the last revelation was given to John says the lord said this, I saw him here or there or had a dream we are commanded to believe not. He warned us before time (the last Chapter Revelation.) .It’s how we can try the spirits to see if they are inspired from above heavenly or earthly corrupted .
Luke 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
The sign of Jonas the prophet was fulfilled at the cross by the Son of man .
A closing warning not to seek after signs as a means to wonder after in the last chapter 22 of Revelation is given to all who do seek after the literal word and not the hidden manna (signified understanding )The interpretation is given exclusively to those who do seek the understanding of parables hid from the evil generation that seek after signs .”Show us a miracle then we will believe”. No sign was given to wonder about.
I understand that the Legion fell in the beginning after creation Genesis, when God saw pride in that’s spirit of lies heart because of the glory of creation before that fall. That glory departed on day three. The full presence of God will again be the glory in the new with the new bride. But that’s not the fall I am speaking of. The one I am referring to does not mean the spirit of error has been made to no effect and there is no deception in the world . That’s the new order with our new bodies when the legion will be a thing of the past never coming to mind forever and ever.
I am referring to the parable in Revelation 20 in respect to all the nations “ the entire world” as sign to mankind we do not need men to teach and lord it over our new faith the pagan foundation.
How beautiful are the feet of those shod with the gospel sent them out two by two. The greatest time in history. A time like never before or ever again the renting of the veil. The sign of circumcision of the first born Jesus therefore revealing the mysteries hidden from time past of the bloody husband Christ because of circumcision .
Loking at another parble there the Holy Spirt used the phrase Blody husband to represnt the Son of man Jesus Bloody husband a reference to the husband of the bride of Christ the church that the Father named Christian in the book of Acts formerly calling her Israel as in all Israel are not born again Israel . Christian a more befitting name to name the bride of Christ made up of all the nations as families of the earth . Literally meaning according to a demonym ; A word that identifies people by location and founder. Like Philippians, Galatians, Nicolaitanes etc.
Christian with no other meaning added . . . . residents of the city of Christ named after her founder and husband Christ. Prepared as His chaste virgin bride the many lively stones that make up the spirit unseen house the wife of Christ. .
It is shown in an Old Testament parable (bloody husband) which I would think can help us understand the reason for circumcision as sign of the first born. The veil in respect to our blody husband Christ will remain rent until the last day.
.It is similar to the parable of Abraham and Isaac with the ram caught in the bush . It uses Zipporah a gentile woman to represent the church as the new creatures. .as to what we will be neither male nor female, Jew nor gentile and uses her son the first born Gershom meaning an alien or I have been a stranger in a strange land. To represent new creatures in Christ.
Surely Zipporah was not calling Gersom her son her "bloody husband" She understood the mystery of faith of the suffering of Christ beforehand and and the glory the opening of the veil. . opening the graves of saints that had the Spirit of Christ in them working in respect to the suffering bloody husband before hand .( 1 Peter 1:8-10)
Exodus 2:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to meSo he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
When the veil representing jesus foreflesh was rent from the top to the botom to show inspired from above and the nakeness holy of holies was revealed there was no Jewish King siting there as a daysman (Pope) fleshly infallible teaching master or interpreter.
I think the law of faith was established when the veil was rent . Believers look to the unseen eternal not that seen the temporal mixing the two making it one perfect law, the just and justier. The Father with the Son .
The Legion could no longer deceive all the nation of the whole world that we do need a man to teach us .That does not mean he will not continue to accuse the brethren day and night as he did in Job 1 until the last day But again he will not deceive all the nation that Jewish flesh could profit for something when we are already informed; Jesus said of his own flesh it profits zero.
They received the end of their new faith from the beging just as us .They look ahead by the power as it is written we look back to the same viel representing our bloody husband .
1 Peter1: 8 -10Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:1 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow
The glorious resurrection gate remains open till the last day under the Sun .The veil will not be stitched back together. One demonstration was promised. Some did know Christ after the flesh we know him that way no more forever. God is not a man as us.
I would think there is no need to seek after sign. Signs cannot do any more than make a person wonder or doubt according to those who seek after wonderments or marveling and not after faith the unseen things of God, as it is written . .
Of all that rambling, the only thing said which is acceptable was...........
"I would think there is no need to seek after sign. Signs cannot do any more than make a person wonder or doubt according to those who seek after wonderments or marveling and not after faith the unseen things of God, as it is written . ."!
Bible fact is that signs and wonders were limited to the age of the apostles. This doesn't mean miracles don't happen. It just means they are not the typical or normal way ministry is to be done and are not done by the hands of men. The healing ministry of Jesus and the apostles was unique. Signs and wonders were not done by Christians in general, but were the signs of the apostles, and when the apostles died out, the signs died out.
Now what I said to you then is what I am saying again to you. In reference to your comment I said clearly..............
"Not one single word is validated by any Scripture to support your post. What you just posted is completely FULL BLOWN PRETERISM!"
You originally said......"Satan fell at Pentecost"! THAT is nonsense and totally wrong.
To that I replied.............
"Satan did not fall at Pentecost. What we do know is this: the angels were created before the earth (Job 38:4-7). Satan fell before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden (Gen, 3:1-14). Satan’s fall, therefore, must have occurred somewhere after the time the angels were created and before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Whether Satan’s fall occurred hours, days, or years before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden, Scripture does not specifically say but he certainly did not FALL AT PENTECOST."
Now you are saying........
"Did you mean you do not agree with the idea of parables teaching us as a kingdom of priest from all nations how to walk by faith, concealing the mysteries from the faithless? I would ofer the parable below."
Gari............Listen,FOCUS-----that is called RAMBLING!!!!!
I said NOTHING about any idea of a parable or teaching of a kingdom or nations or walking by faith. YOU just changed RAMBLIED and said something to draw the attention away from your statement that "SATAN FELL AT PENTECOST".
Again, I said...........
"Satan fell before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden (Gen, 3:1-14). Satan’s fall, therefore, must have occurred somewhere after the time the angels were created and before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Whether Satan’s fall occurred hours, days, or years before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden, Scripture does not specifically say but he certainly did not FALL AT PENTECOST."
As for the teachings from the Scriptures being how to walk in faith, and how to explain the mysteries............
2 Timothy 3:16
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
1 Timothy 5:20
"As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear."
