Featured The Apostle Peter on the Second Coming of Our LORD

Biblical term Peter used in the scripture. They have died and the body and soul separated. For the believer the soul and living spirit are seperated from the body.

If you believe in a resurrection whether pre-trib, mid-trib post -trib or as the amil the body will come to life is a resurrection form and thus be awakened from the sleep of death.

 

What is the souls of believers doing after? Are they conscious?

 

Concious and in heaven. Paul says absent from the body present with the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

 

The people that Peter is talking about are not in the Millennium it is those living today who question His coming. Many teach it is those who question His coming at the rapture, that is how the pastor I grew up taught it.

Many people in this present age question His coming. Many say it has been almost 2000 years and He hasn't returned. But He said He would return for those who are His. Peter said many "Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

 

Good answer just wanted to make sure we were on the same page there.

 

That is something every believer should know, but I have run into to some who believe in soul sleeping.

 

Really????

Here is the second coming:

Revelation 19:11 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."

After the defeat of the Beast, Kings of the Earth and their armies we see.

Revelation 20:
2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."

This is the Kingdom.

Very clear the Armies following Him where do they follow Him? To the earth and then the Tribulation saints who died are resurrected and reign with Him 1000 years as well as those who trusted Christ as their savior and then comes the resurrection of the dead. This is very clear.

 

See my post 170!

 

We answered you say nonsense and so no debate needed. You seem just want to say nonsense or some other answer and never give an answer. Besides my post 170 answered you and you failed to replay so where oh where is the true debate. OR receives answers doesn't like but won't offer a reason for his objection.
