Discuss Revelation 20 Page 23

please educate explain and enlighten the people masses of the importance of reading and following the verses of this great book the bible. it is a boon to mankind. it will indeed give you mental peace and courage to face any troubles. always walk in the right path and try god

The 20th chapter of the book of revelation is in 2 parts the first part speaks about the first resurrection which is also noted in I Corinthians as well as Romans and Ephesians. the first resurrection is a referring to Christ 's raising from the dead and our resurrection from the dead when we receive Christ and are new creatures in him. This is the first resurrection. The second death is the Great white throne judgment of Christ at the end. The second death is the spiritual death at the the end. IF you read the 3rd chapter of II peter you will see that a thousand years is as a day to the Lord and a day is as a thousand years and this present world is reserved unto judgment by fire. If you read the scriptures that I spoke of you will understand this chapter. also in St, John Jesus summed it up with his discourse to Martha when He said I Am the resurrection and the life he that believeth in me though he was dead yet shall he live those who were lost in sin and accept Jesus and him who liveth and believeth in me Those who are born again shall never die.

Ar 's comment was very close if not right on. I just took a class at a Bible college on Revelation and am now teaching it. The rapture has yet to happen. When the rapture happens Gods Church age believers will be taken off this earth and taken to heaven. Then some time after, it doesn 't say but probably shortly after the 7 year tribulation will start. This is when the Anti Christ signs the treaty with Israel. 3 1 2 years later he will then break his treaty and take over Israel and demand that he be worshipped. This is when the 2nd half will start which is considered the Great Tribulation during the final 3 1 2 years. Lindelani 's comment is right on also. What you don 't know you should have faith in. You first have to have faith in God and the trinity. Then you must trust in his word, "The Bible ". Chris D, You are on the right track to study the bible. Trust me you will have questions that don 't make since and you are doing what God asked us to do. God told us in Revelation 1 3 that we are blessed if we study his revelation and his word. Rose 's comment about those who are beheaded and rejected the mark of the beast is close. It doesn 't say only those though. She is also right that if you add to the prophecy or take away that God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. Rose if you look up other places in revelation it will show you that Old Testimate Saints, The Church age believers, Those that you mentioned will all reign with God and Jesus, both the same during the millennium. Be careful adding the word Only because that has you adding words to the prophecy. I commend you also for studying the Prophecy. Gods knows you were not trying to intentionally delete or add words. Keep studying and asking questions. you are on the right track. Sam Kabuthu 's comment about Satan being released. He is loose and deceiving the world but he has not been captured and thrown in the abyss and locked up yet. Every since he was thrown out of heaven he has been deceiving the world. We see this just like our parents did, and their parents. When God 's timing is right then he will be locked up and during the Millennial period the earth will not have the deception of Satan. All though the new born during the Millennial period will be born sinners and have to be saved. At the end of the millennial period when Satan is released he will try to deceive the nations which will be every one still alive from the millennial period that didn 't get saved. Satans followers at that time will be destroyed, judged and thrown into the lake of fire, along with the other dead from the time back to creation. this will all be done as the great White thrown Judgement. Don 't get me wrong. The new City of Jerusalem came before as the millennial period was starting and all those people who were joined with Jesus and God were there through out the millennial period. Now the Millennial believers will be added.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION IN MATTHEW 24 IS ON THE JEWS, AND NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE CAN YOU READ THE WORD "RAPTURE ".. MATTHEW 13 SHOWS WHERE THE WHEAT AND TEAR SAINT AND SINNER ARE HEAR TOGETHER UNTILL THE HARVEST.THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD. PERIOD NOT ONE DAY LONGER. GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TEARS BIND THEM TOGETHER AND BURN THEM. DOES NOT SAY RAPTURE THE CHURCH AWAY AND LET THE SINNERGO THROUGH A GREAT TRIBULATION.IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION

CAN ANYONE SHOW ME THIS "RAPTURE GREAT TRIBULATION

God has surprises for each and every human has made in his own image but the only way to find jesus is to have faith in him and believe that he right next to you and you see all the mircales

It scares me. I like it. I am glad I asked Jesus to save me. He did once and forever...

SAM KABUTHU 's Revelation Chapter 20 comment about verse 7 on 4 23 2014, 12 27am... No, I think you have got it wrong. We are not living in the 1000 year God s Kingdom yet. This will happen after the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven. Then Jesus will tie the devil for 1000 years, but after 1000 years he will be let out for a while , that s when Christ will destroy him forever. Jesus hasn t yet come to take His Church as He promised Rapture . After Rapture, there will be a seven year tribulation in this world. So pray to be in the Rapture as many verses in Cor. and in Thes . write about.

Acording to the life we are going through right now it shows that he has been loosen from his prison already and he doing his job by decieving people all over the world and every body see this

I think this particular verse 20 14 has a strong message that we should be prepared to face our creator. We should be spiritually alive, continue to worship Jesus and be a good icon as a true Christian. We need to share the good news and use our skills and knowledge to glorify our God!

Verses 4 6 say that only the one who had rejected the mark of the beast, and have not worshipped him, and who have been beheaded will reign with Christ in the millennium. To say anything more is adding to the words of the prophecy and in chapter 20 18 Jesus says this, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book " You can not add to it therefore, unless you die in the tribulation by rejecting the beast and being beheaded you will NOT be in the millennium with Christ. If you want to be with him there, plan on dying in the tribulation. SORRY!

We all going to be judge on everything we do in this world so first we need to make shore that our name is in the book of live and second that we do all the commandments that Jesus told us to do throw the apostle.

This should be shown to everyone! People need to know how important it is to get saved!

The best day of my life

I need to know any relation among 1Cronicles 5:4 & Revelation 20:verse 8.please help me.

God has a good purpose for those that believes in His Son Jesus.

For your name to be written in the book of life you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you must have the 9 fruit of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentlenes,goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.. Galiatians5vs22-23.. And will should do away with sins of any kinds. .

To: Mark Hudson: ...to the SECOND argument regarding to the missing the flames of hell... ...whosoever was "not found written in the book of life" was cast into the lake of fire ( Revelation 20:15) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie ( Revelation 21:27) the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars ( Revelation 21:8) and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the "books", according to their "works" ( Revelation 20:12)... ...and this includes THEM WHO "DRAW BACK" UNTO PERDITION (Hebrew 10:36-39) who are called "LOST" ( John 17:12) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them like the dog that turned to his own vomit again (2-Peter 2:21-22) whereunto they desire again to be in bondage ( Galatians 4:9)...THEREFORE...we must NOT BELIEVE the LIARS telling us that we shall not be judged when we TURNED BACK AND WERE LOST after we received the remission of our sins by the grace of God through the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ...

I think that we should the right things now,for us and our name to written in that book of life cover with the blood of lamb.So my dear friends do have faith and walk with it in jesus to believe.

When I read this verse, it is just like that my friends, family, neighbors and all the people whom am I acquainted that did not trust and accept Jesus, the Almighty as Personal Lord and Savior is burning and burning "forever" all day and all night in the lake of fire. so start now believe and be one of us that rejoicing in the name of the Lord and be one of us when the day of rapture is come.

I pray that any thing that will make my name not to writen in the book of life be remove from my life in JESUS NAME amen.i also pray that any thing that will make me not to reigned with CHRIST JESUS as it is in REVELATION 20 VS 4 be cancel from my life in JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN

None of us who are members of Christ's body today will be at the great white thrown judgment. Instead we will appear before the judgment seat of Christ, which is a different event. Remember, the body of Christ meets the Lord in the air and are with him forever. The book of life is only for those who are saved under Israel's prophecy plan.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION TELLS US ABOUT THE JUDGMENT WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE, AND ALSO TELLING US ABOUT THE FIRST RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD CHRIST JESUS. HE SAID IN PALMS 51 SAYING IN SIN DID MY MOTHER CONCEIVE ME, AND SAID WHAT REWARD IS IT TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE LIFE? THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS ALSO TELLING US ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST JESUS, HE WILL COME AND TAKE THE SHEEP OUT OF THE GOAT.

the bible reveals itself.. but right now only the wise will understand... daniel 12:10

I love the idea that we are writing our own book. That feels so good, so right. It also feels right that the book of Life records belongs to Jesus Christ as God promised him all those who would accept him. But we are all sinners and we will all be judged by what is written in our own book. And the fact that non-Christians will also be judged by their works is wonderful news indeed. It sounds like God knows that there are those who have lived good lives, and why should they live their lives just to lose them, while there are those who loudly proclaim to belong to Christ but abuse little children and do other heinous crimes. God is just!

I try not to comment unless scripture is the foundation. The understanding I get is these books are for those who have accepted Christ "Book Of Life". Then there are books opened for those who do not know Him as Lord and Savior. They are judged from the things they have done; their works, (better put, the way they live their life in sin without Christ). In Noah's time, Sodom and Gomorrah's time, Nineveh, and others in the Bible, God's judgment had to do with sin. Therefore those who are found in the Book of Life are excluded from the books which may be the records of the unsaved persons’ sins.

@Susan Dalton,
1. War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
2. It has been said that war is God's judgment of sin here on earth and hell (not Hades) is God's judgment of sin hereafter;
3. War and violence will be continuous on earth until the prince of peace stops it after the white throne judgment ( Revelation 20:15) when eternity begins.

Revelation 20:9 talks about the church. Most people think the church is the bride of Christ. Emphatically, No. The church entirely is not the bride of Christ. A portion of the church is the Bride of Christ. Revelation 20:9 talks about all saved Christians (born again). But it reveals two places. The Camp of the Saints and the Beloved City. The Beloved City is the Bride of Christ. The Camp of the Saints are saved Christians (born again). What does it take to move from the camp of the saints when you become born again to the Beloved City. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

In my opinion not one of us human beings has a definite answer to anything in the Bible, (God is not telling human beings everything for a reason), if humans had all the answers then there would be no need for us here on earth as long as we are in the flesh. If I am not mistaken, somewhere in Revelation, it says that man will never be at total peace with one another while we are of the flesh. Why don't we all stop talking and through physical gestures, and help each other until we can get out of these garbage mind and bodies that God gave us? Amen!

I am confused. I thought we were not to be judged for our works but by our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ the son of God, and that he died for our sins on the cross. I understand our works should reflect our love of Christ and our life in Him but that none of us gets into heaven by our works.
