So then you do not include the other apostles in scripture as a part of the foundation? I'm not sure how that is an argument for cessationism, since others could be apostles and do miracles without being a part of the foundation according to this approach. Barnabas was an apostle, and he and Saul reported the miracles they did in Jerusalem.
You have made some big statements earlier in the thread, but now you can't back these up because of copyright? You should then be able to articulate your belief from your heart (It's what YOU believe that I am seeking answers about).
Yet you are avoiding the line by line discussion.
And I know why....because by the end of the exercise you will have realised how flaky your whole foundation was. And you are not ready to give up on this.

The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
Let me sumarized this information.
1. Satan Being bound for 1000 years to keep him from deceiving nation (verse 1:3)
To me If satan able decieving nations mean they are physical.
Nations is plural I do not know If spiritual nations plural. How many nations Will be in spiritual

No, I phrased it correctly. This isn't about God at all, it's been all about you, your faith. You.
It is always about you; maintaining salvation, your faith being superior to others &c.
That's my point, nearly everything you post is self-glorifying. Top that off with your snide response to Dave L which further proves your un-Christ like persona. You should apologize to him for your unwarranted comments meant to insult him. Careful, you may lose "your" salvation.
