The Present reign of Jesus Christ
The Revelation is powerfully encouraging when read symbolically, not literally, nor necessarily chronologically.
Satan is already bound, and the Church is reigning with Christ now. Quote:

Re: The Present reign of Jesus Christ
So when the apostles preached they said that Satan was out and doing his thing and that we had to be careful of his evil works and such.
Is our Gospel different than theirs? Be careful with the allegorical interpretation of the Scripture, it has messed up so many lives already to the point that some believe that there is no resurrection, or the resurrection is really of spirits (our graves won’t be empty) or coming of the Lord, or judgment. The Apostolic interpretation of the scripture is the historical-grammatical method. See it this way: if somebody preaches a Gospel that is different than what the apostles preached, then their interpretation of the Scripture must be wrong. The Apostles preached a future (not past) resurrection of the dead (different than the analogy of being raised up in Christ after baptism), a future (not past) coming of the Lord in the clouds, a present (not past) work of Satan against the Saints to make them sin, etc... You know what Paul says about different Gospels :) |

I guess I'll just remain in "eschatological infancy"..

Re: The Present reign of Jesus Christ
Looks like a lot of folks did not understand what sister Amanah posted.
The tl;dr version: Jesus is CHRIST, which means reigning son of God. The adversaries of God have been defeated by Him and it is our duty to manifest that WORD in the here and now. As we believe and pray "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" we are to expect that our prayer is heard and that we receive the things we ask for. Thus, we are to expect and work for Christ's kingdom and dominion to increase throughout every sphere of every person's life, in every nation, until the kingdom has completely filled the whole earth - as prophecied in Daniel 2. |

Does anyone know the history of Pisistratus? Just wondering...

Pisistratus was scheming a return to power in Athens, which was of course devoted to Athena. So he grabbed some tall farm girl and dressed her up in armour, put her on a wagon, and spread rumours among the countryside that the goddess herself was escorting Pisistratus back to power. The people fell for it. History doesnt repeat, but it sure rhymes. :) |
