Earth - Land - G1093 - Ge
Time after time I hear, "You know, every eye is going to see
Him when He comes. Most of the time they don't even give any
scriptures. It's like, take that! That's what the Bible says and
that hasn't happened yet." Many place the fulfillment of
Revelation in the future thinking it's global. A good example is
Revelation 1:7 Revelation 1:7 NASB Ge is not planet Earth it's "the
land". So "every eye will see Him" cannot be placed
outside the first century. Everyone in the land [G1093-ge] of Israel
saw His Coming in the Destruction of Jerusalem. They in the land
[G1093-ge] were those who pierced Him in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:5
and Zechariah 12:10. If we can see the word "ge"
in Revelation, we will without a doubt see it's local fulfillment.
And know that John was not talking about the globe. Let's look at Revelation 3:10-11 NASB The New American Standard Bible in
there footnotes as least uses "inhabited earth" for "whole
world" but that is not enough to show that God is not talking
about the entire planet Earth. If we do not know the meaning "ge"
we will always be thinking it's for all of planet Earth. Let's see what the The Kingdom Bible
says. Revelation 3:10-11 TKB Thank God for The Kingdom Bible! Now
let's dissect Revelation 3:10-11, if you will. As mentioned above, the NASB uses
"inhabited earth" for "whole world" in their
footnotes. Their trying to correct some translation mistakes, but
still have a ways to go. "world" in this verse is
oikoumenes not kosmos we know it's the inhabited earth at that time. So, what do we know? We know Jesus
tells us the "hour of trial" will come upon the land of
Israel and has nothing to do with the 21st century, because that
judgment is in the past. Let's look at 2 Peter 3:10 at and
compare the NKJV to the NASB and then the TKB 2 Peter 3:10 NKJV Futurists really love to quote this
verse. They say "There you have it! the Earth is going to be
burned up!" And just like that too. 2 Peter 3:10 NASB This is why we must compare scripture
with different versions. Without looking up any Greek we can already
tell "will be burned up" and "will be discovered"
do not mean the same thing. 2 Peter 3:10 TKB Without studying Stoicheion, one would
never know what is actually burning up.

7
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him,
even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth
[G1093-ge] will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
I
like how The Kingdom Bible puts it.
Revelation 1:7
TKB
7 Behold, He comes with the cloud; and every eye will see
Him, and also they who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the land
[G1093-ge] will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.
10
Because you have kept My word of perseverance, I also will keep you
from the hour of the testing, that hour which is about to come upon
the whole world, to test those who live on the earth [G1093-ge]. 11
I am coming quickly; hold firmly to what you have, so that no one
will take your crown.
10
Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you
from the hour of trial, which is about to come on the entire Roman
world, to test them that dwell upon the land [G1093-ge]. 11 Behold,
I come quickly; take possession of that which you have, that no one
may take your crown.
10 But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the
heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements
[G4747-stoicheion] will melt with fervent heat; both the earth
[G1093-ge] and the works that are in it will be burned up.
10 But
the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens
will pass away with a roar and the elements [G4747-stoicheion] will
be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth [G1093-ge]and its
works will be discovered.
10 But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the
heavens will pass away with a roaring thunder, and the (Jewish)
elements [G4747-stoicheion] will dissolve with fervent heat, the
earth [land G1093-ge] also and the works that are in it will be
burned utterly.
Stoicheion is in the
Bible only 7 times. None of them speak of physical elements of the
earth.
