Revelation 20 is supposed to be the premillennialist’s strongest chapter. For Michael Rowntree, it’s the chapter that ended his premillennialism. Episode sponsored by 6 LEVERS CONSULTING.

Josh and Michael work through the chapter most often used to argue for a future thousand-year reign. Revelation 19 ends with Jesus returning, and Revelation 20 opens with Satan bound for a thousand years, so most readers assume one follows the other. Michael read it that way for a long time until details in the text started pulling him toward a different view. Josh hasn’t settled the question himself, and he pushes back where he thinks the argument needs more support. His biggest question: If Satan is bound so he can’t deceive the nations (Revelation 20:3), why does deception seem to be everywhere? They also get into how to tell when Revelation is moving forward in time and when it’s circling back to cover the same ground. Michael explains what he thinks John means by the first resurrection and why Gog and Magog show up more than once in the book. He leans on John 12:31 and Deuteronomy 32:8–9 to explain how he reads the binding of Satan. 0:00 – Introduction 2:05 – Millennium Views Recap 4:28 – Is Revelation 20 Chronological? 12:12 – The First Resurrection 18:43 – Gog and Magog 23:16 – Binding of Satan 26:57 – Heiser's Deuteronomy 32 Worldview 37:51 – Are Nations Still Deceived? 44:03 – Who Survives Armageddon? 48:36 – Abyss Release Callbacks 56:12 – Why Release Satan? 1:01:38 – Gospel Age Encouragement PART 1: https://youtu.be/U7plGm8w0Yc BOOK GIVEAWAY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/giveaway BOOK: 📖The World Made Right by Michael Rowntree: https://www.michaelrowntree.com/the-world-made-right/ RESOURCES MENTIONED: - The Resurrection of the Son of God by N.T.
