Joseph,
You are mislead. Your attempt to re-order what is stated plainly smacks of haughty teachings of men, not God. What the chapter (Rev 20) plainly reveals is the order in which these things take place.
Let’s examine it piece by piece:
7When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
Note the "and" in verse 8:
8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Continuing the narrative, "They"in verse 9:
9They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Note the "and" in verse 10:
10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
At this point, at the end of the thousand years, after fire has consumed the nations who sided with the devil and opposed God, after the devil, the beast, and the false prophet are thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,
11
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.
Earth and Sky fled, they are no more- now ALL (including those who remain after the Great Battle of Rev 20:9, as well as everyone in the grave) stand before the Lord, and are judged as individuals:
12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
How in the world can you take a narrative written so plainly, that clearly describes events yet to occur in chronological order, and get any other meaning? For Pete’s sake, Joseph, if you can twist this Scripture, you can twist anyone of the Scriptures, which is exactly what we are warned not to do! Therein lie the difference in those who have God’s Holy Spirit, and those who don’t- you will know them by their fruits!
More error by Joseph:
PS. you said: These are the offspring of those who survive Armageddon, there is no other (Scripturally proven) way for them
to be anything else.
Sure their is. This is the kind of WT nonsense I refuted as well.
The doctrine involved can also be stated like this: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
and between thy seed and her seed; It is this seed of the woman that makes up the Nations not the
few survivors (children) that are changed somehow at such a time.
First, this is NOT "WT nonsense"! Your reading comprehension is not what it could be! I am not going to state what the WT teaches, it is clear I am not teaching that hogwash! Your explanation is SO beyond any kind of Scriptural teaching! You stated:
"It is this seed of the woman that makes up the Nations
Do you even know who the "woman" is? This is his church, those who make up his bride! Do you know who "the seed" is? These are the faithful ones of the ages, the spiritual offspring of Abraham, those who belong as children to Christ! And you teach that these are "the nations" that oppose God in the final battle???
not the few survivors (children) that are changed somehow at such a time. "
FEW survivors? Huh? What is few? A thousand, a million? Who knows? In one thousand years time, their offspring, just as Abraham’s offspring, will be like the sands of the seashore! How, and why do they need to be "changed" somehow? You make absolutely no sense. Go ahead and bury yourself with your lack of understanding, Joseph. Or, better yet, fear God, humble yourself, and admit your error.
"When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside."- Matt 13:19
Again, you are in error on these teachings. Read what it says, and drop your preconceived notions that don't fit unless you twist Scripture!.
"Do not become wise in your own eyes. Fear God and turn away from bad" -Proverbs 3: 7
"There exists a way that is upright before a man, but the ways of death are the end of it afterward." -Proverbs 14: 12
I pray for you to get the correct understanding, and stop teaching as men do in their error, but as God reveals through His Holy Spirit.
Sincerely,
Brother Apostate
