Could you please tell me what this means in Rev 20:3 means? "after these things he must be released for a short time."

After what?

Whose the "he"?

Relased from what to do what?

[AllThingsFulfilled]

I would think it refers to the things mentioned in verses 1-3, i.e. the binding for the millennium, sealing in the bottomless pit and preventing him from deceiving the nations. After that, he is loosed for a little while per v. 7, to deceive the nations (Gog and Magog) just before he is cast into the lake of fire. All of this occurs before the arrival of the New heaven and earth following the end of the old heaven and earth in A.D. 70, Mt. 24:29, 34-35.

If you're going to comment on the Premillennial view, please quote it correctly.

Pre-mill does NOT teach that the wicked enter the millenium to live for 1000 years.

The wicked are "left behind" to enter the 7-year TRIBULATION, not the 1000-year millenium which comes after the tribulation period.

You view of pre-mill is faulty.

[AllThingsFulfilled]

Point granted. So if the righteous are raptured prior to Armageddon at the end of the 7yr tribulation then how do the "tares and the wheat" grow together until the harvest/end of the age coming of the Lord? Or, if all the wicked are destroyed at the end of the 7 year tribulation, how do both "wicked and righteous "grow together" during the alleged millennium. Is the harvest at the end of the tribulation or at the end of the millennium? (Matt. 13:28-30; 38-43).

A premillennialism bible study? Isn't that an oxymoron?

[MrEhud77]

You're misrepresenting this subject, Per haps some premelinialists teach that only the wicked will remain on earth during the melinium, but the vast majority do not.

Binding of Satan:

Sounds good. As I pre-mill I can say I agree with all you said except for the last half of your last sentence. It's quite a strange order you have there with the binding in chapter 20 being some 2000 years before the return of Christ in chapter 19.

It's one thing to say that Revelation doesn't follow a strict chronilogical order but there does seem to be a flow from 19 into 20; not a shooting backwards of some 2000 years.

pt 2

Only the righteous will enter the millenium but their offspring will not necessarily be righteous. Isaiah says a child will die at hundred. At the end of the millenium, Satan will be released for a short time from the pit where he is bound for the millenium. There will be an uprising that is quickly put down by Christ Himself. The unrighteous are then resurrected for the great white throne judgement and thrown with Satan and death into the lake of fire.

@AllThingsFulfilled

Just as the Old Testament did not clearly delineate between Christ first and second comings, the same is true of the rapture and the revelation. Oftentimes that last tribulation week is simply referred to as the period of Christ's second coming. I believe this is how it's used in the wheat/tares. Even so, new believers during the 70th week and unbelievers that live to the end of the "week" are not seperated til the "end" of the week (Christ's return to earth)

[LawrenceKennard]

"The righteous" sitting with Christ is not a contradiction of premillenialism. How we live here on earth determins our rewards. Do you want to reign with him in the New Jerusalem, or are you just producing wood, hay, and stubble? Then you would be outside.

pt 2

The apostle John was taken up in the Lord's day while on the isle of Patmos to "see the end". Christ didn't show him a "movie". John was told, "Come up hear". He entered through a "door".

Did all those things Christ mention take place before John died. Yes they did. Is that because they were fufillud in A.D. 70? NO. Christ took John to the end of the age while he yet lived. Things which from our perspective, have not happened yet.

John saw the return of Christ and wrote about it

[HaveUconsidered]

I can give you the typical preterist response to any passage that doesn't fit their theological view: "Oh, that's just symbolic language. It doesn't really mean what is says." But I won't.

Two common dispy responses are this:

1.) It refers to the Jews not passing away until all is fulfilled OR 2.) It refers to that generation who sees the signs that Christ discribes.

I have a third alternate possibility:
