Featured Spiritual understanding - part 8

I do not know where verse is.....but I know what col2:15 says happened at the cross.....
You have no answer to any of the other posts? You just ignore them all?

 

Maybe this is what your looking for?... Brother Glen

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

 

Thanks, but I was trying to find the verse he see suggests about Jesus second coming....that at that time He would put down a satanic Kingdom..
I thought col2:15 spoke to that....
I see there was no response to psalm 2 being quoted in Acts and in other NT. verses....

 

Okay Iconoclast, just trying to help... Lets try this again... Could this be the verses your looking for?... Brother Glen

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

 

But who was the lawless one?... Here is an interesting side note I came across recently... When Nero died there were reports that he had been seen in other parts of the country... Many thought he was still alive and he never died and there were many imposters saying they were Nero... But upon further investigation they were found to be liers, that is how strong the Neronic influence was in Rome... Brother Glen

Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

 

from a footnote;
68 Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., He Shall Have Dominion (Tyler, TX: Institute for Christian Economics, 1992), 221. 69 When Paul discusses the enthronement of Christ he uses the aorist tense, which indicates that Christ’s enthronement occurred at a point in time past. When he discusses the reign of Christ he employs a present active infinitive. Paul was convinced he was living in the millennium (in Christ’s kingdom).

then this on page33;
Premillennial dispensationalists recognize that this passage refers to the setting up of Christ’s kingdom (the millennium). But since they believe that the millennium occurs wholly in the future, they must engage in exegetical gymnastics to fit the vision into their system of interpretation. First, they must ignore the progressive growth of Christ’s kingdom from a stone to a mountain. The overthrow of the Gentile world power must be sudden and total to fit into their scheme.

Yet Christ describes His kingdom as starting very small and growing progressively throughout history (Mt. 13:31-33).


Second, in order for the passage to fit in with a wholly-future kingdom concept, dispensationalists have invented the idea of a wholly-future, revived Roman Empire. They interpret the phrase “in the days of these kings” as referring to the toes of the image. They argue that the toes of the statue and the ten horns of the fourth beast of Daniel 7 represent ten kingdoms which will form the basis of the future, restored Roman Empire.

 

frompage34;
Second, the Scriptures clearly teach that Satan was bound at the first coming of Christ. In Matthew’s gospel Jesus tells the Pharisees that He has bound the strong man (the devil) and is now plundering his goods (Mt. 12:28-29). In John’s gospel our Lord said regarding His coming crucifixion, “now the ruler of this world will be cast out” (Jn. 12:31). Christ came to earth “that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 Jn. 3:8). Jesus said during His ministry “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Lk. 10:18; cf. vs.19; 9:1). The author of Hebrews associated the binding of Satan not with the second coming but with Jesus’ sacrificial death. Our Lord assumed a human nature “that through death He might destroy Him who has the power of death, that is, the devil” (Heb. 2:14). The verb destroy (katargeo) means literally to render inoperative, to nullify, or to render ineffective. The apostle Paul concurs: “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (Col. 2:15). In other words Jesus led “captivity captive” (Eph. 4:8). Satan received his death blow at our Lord’s first coming (Gen. 3:15).

 

The One who will do miracles and signs and wonders has yet to happen though!

 

Satan has gotten the death blow, but just as Hitler, the war keeps going on until he finally actually falls!

 

John wrote near end of the first century, and he was still looking forward to the second coming and the millinual reign!

 

For being bound, it is interesting that right now he prowls around like a lion seeking to devour us, and that he gets chained up after the second coming event!

 

Meant to see the Millennium rule of Jesus!
And the advantage of the futurist view is that we can have the scriptures speaking to each generation, as the complete fulfillment is still yet to come!

 

We have that hope of the future Second Coming to both exhort us to live godly, and also that hope that the present world will one day be changed to How God intended it to be running, a paradise restored under messiah!

 

Historical premils like me would not see it just as you outlined it here though!
