Rapture

[kenrch]

HEY WHERE IS EVERYBODY! DING DONG! DING DONG!
IS THE RAPTURE TRUE? IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS! THERE IS NO ONE AROUND ANYMORE! WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?!!

Is it usual for Nick to not monitor his board for such a long time?

I have been posting for a very short time. I am not familiar with his habits.

I do hope everything is okay with him.

[Is 1:18]

Hi all,
Nick Hassan is fit and well. He has just decided not to be involved with Heaven Net any longer.

Be well.

Was it something I said?

Just kidding.
That's too bad. I didn't get to say good bye. I will miss our discussions.
I'm glad to hear he's ok though. I haven't really been on here since he's been gone. There seems much less reason to be.

david.
I know we will still be talking with him though.

Hey David,

I've got a question. Jesus is in the atmosphere where was He before that. Do you think we are in the millennium, now?

I'm not completely sure I understand your statement about “Jesus is in the atmosphere” or how it relates to your question. Please clarify.

Here are some thoughts on the thousand year reign.

First, is it literal? Consider: The apostle Paul refers to the Thousand Year Reign of Christ, during which mankind is judged, as a DAY. (Acts 17:31; Revelation 20:4) The apostle Peter wrote that one day (24 hours) with Jehovah is as a thousand years. (2 Peter 3:8) That would argue that this judgment “day” is literally one thousand years long. In addition, at Revelation 20:3, 5-7, we read four different times, not of “A thousand years,” but of “THE thousand years.” This would seem to indicate a period of definite length.

So, has it begun, as you ask?
“I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:1, 2)

Judging from the state of the world, does it seem to you Kenrch, that Satan is no longer influencing mankind?

Anyway, during this period, Satan is neutralized. Since “power of judging” is given to those who “rule as kings with him [Christ] for the thousand years,” this period is, in fact, a thousand-year “day” of judgment. (Revelation 20:4, 6)
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released briefly in order to submit mankind to a final test after which he, his demons, and any rebels on earth who follow him will be destroyed forever. (Revelation 20:7-10)
Humans who pass the test will have their names written indelibly in “the book of life” and will be ushered into an eternity of happy life, serving and worshiping Jehovah on a paradise earth.—Revelation 20:14, 15; Psalm 37:9, 29; Isaiah 66:22, 23.

Kenrch, does this “atmoshpere” question have to do with the rapture?
