[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5929496, member: 65823"] No, it doesn't. Literally? You sure about that? What is that? [SIZE=17px]If Satan is bound in a pit today and not walking about like a lion, then why is 1 Timothy 3:7 still a requirement for elders? "lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."...Why are we will wearing the whole armor of God? We know from the rest of the Bible that, whatever these verses in Revelation 20 mean, they do not mean that Satan is not at work in this world today and still trying to destroy the church. He is still active today.[/SIZE] I can't speak for the preterist, but there isn't any section of scripture "off limits" to me. The scripture no where teaches a literal 1000 year earthly reign of Jesus. What was the reason/purpose for John's writing to the seven churches? What was going on with first century Christians? What was the world power doing to Christians? [/QUOTE]
