Re: Why I Am A Futurist

Another preterist song...

There's no city where the lamb is the light.....

There's no city where there comes no more night....

I've no mansion over there, I don't care what Jesus said......

Im not going where the lamb is the light.

Are all of them symbolic, or only the city?

22 But ye(living saints) are come unto (#1 invisible and real)mount Sion, and unto the (#2 invisible and real)city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and (#3 invisible and real)to an innumerable company of angels,

23 (#4 VISIBLE and real)To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and(#5 invisible and real) to God the Judge of all, and (#6 invisible and real)to the spirits of just men made perfect,

BTW..."And" means "also"

Sure! :)

Revelation 11:1-2 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. (2) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Also, notice the measurements of the New Jerusalem. 12,000 furlongs cubed. There are 12 support edges on a cube --- 12 X 12,000 = 144,000

Sound familiar?

Nice! Fits with my convictions, for the most part. I might argue that Christ actually interpreted Jerusalem as Babylon; meaning "corrupted," but whatever.

Works both ways.

These verses must really confuse you, then.

Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Isaiah 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
