    Bob,
    I must congratulate you on certainly the clearest summary of your particular view I've ever set eyes on - it had me raptured!
    Nevertheless it doesnt convince.
    I and my dad used to exchange letters in the days before the internet or computer on this subject. Your view was his heart's deepest longing. He never tasted the sweetness of the knowledge he could experience that rule of Christ in his own lifetime.
    I shall dig for those letters and let you have them if you like. We loved each other my dad and I, yet never could win one to the viewpoint of the other.
    I just say, Christ rules today in eternal security to the soul - "take it, taste it, handle it", and don't you be beguiled to deny yourself of your reward by any who "as though living in the world subject you to peevishness, such as, Touch not; taste not; handle not which all are to perish with the using", for in the Kingdom of heaven you have an eternal security!

    Rev 19 and 20 are so obvious and clear.

    "Almost thou persuadest me!"??

    Then he had a sound biblically solid understand of Rev 19 and 20 and could "show his belief" IN the text without needing to argue "First is not first, resurrection is not first resurrection, 1000 years is not l000 years and Rev 19 2nd coming is not 2nd coming".

    He must have had a pretty easy time argue with anyone that had to argue against the clear points of Rev 19 and 20!

    What? Are you saying he was not saved just because he accepted the Word of God in Rev 19, 20?

    Or are you saying that he was not happy because he refused to edit Rev 19 and 20 and also accepted the 2Cor 4:4 teaching of Paul on "the god of THIS WORLD",

    or the Eph 6 statement of Paul on our real battle today against spiritual forces of wickedness here and now,

    or was it his refusal to reject 1Cor 13:12 "For NOW we see in a mirror dimly but THEN face to face"?

    or was it the clear statement in Daniel 7 SHOWING that only AFTER judgment in heaven is complete and the 1260 years of persecution ended - (dark ages) will "the kingdom be given" to Christ and the saints 7:14, 7:25-27

    Or was it that he continued to pray as Jesus taught the saints "Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done"??

    The list is endless -

    Calvinist?

    4 point Calvinist?

    In Christ,

    Bob

    Thank you. I seem to be discussing this topic on a dozen different locations on this board alone.
