Re: The Second Coming of Christ

Your question is faulty on so many levels, chiefly in that you assume that AFP's interpret the Bible by worldly events rather that interpreting worldly events by the Bible. Second to this is that you assume that mankind needs Satan to sin, so there you think that removing Satan from the picture would do away with sin. Gen. 6:5. Satan is not mentioned in this passage at all. As long as there are sinful people in the world there will be these things. The blood of Jesus is enough to remove all of this from a persons life, but it is the individual that must obey God's Word. Sin in the world does not depend on the Coming of the Lord anymore than it did his Crucifixion. If so, then Sin would have ended in the world when Jesus died.

Rev 22:11-15 This scripture could not be true in your futurist belief because by the time New Jerusalem comes down sin will have been done away with, or at least I assume that is what you believe. However, in AFP it fits perfectly.

As for your scriptures: Satan could not deceive the nations during the thousand year reign. Isaiah 2:4, Micah 4:3 can be understood by the following scriptures: Acts 10:10-16, 28, I Cor 9:9, I Tim 5:18.

A New Heaven and A New Earth: Isaiah 65:1-25, 1Kings 8, 2Peter 3:10-13, Gal. 4:1-31, Heb. 1:10-12, Heb 12:18-29, Mat. 5:14-18. From these scriptures we can see that Heaven/Earth, New Heaven/Earth are biblically understood as natural Israel, the Old Covenant, the physical Temple and Jerusalem verses the Israel of God, the New Covenant, and Jesus and his Church.

Jesus and his Church are the New Heaven and the New Earth. Where a person spends eternity is another subject altogether.
