There is a lot of eschatological “noise” on social media and alternative news about the so-called “Little Season” of Satan, and whether or not we are currently in it.
The Little Season theory essentially states that we are in a Post-millennial period between the 1000-year Kingdon of Jesus and the Great White Throne of Judgement. Revelation chapter 20 states that after the Armageddon scenario, Satan is imprisoned for the 1000-year Millenial reign of Jesus. After which, he is released for a “little season” to gather the nations to overthrow Jesus in Jerusalem. According to this theory, we are in that season right now!
This means that the rapture, the Tribulation, Armageddon, the Second Coming of Jesus, and the 1000-year Kingdom have ALREADY HAPPENED!!
The proof point promoted by people who espouse this theory is the advanced “Tartarian” architecture that we see remnants of around the world. This apparently speaks to an advanced civilization with extraordinary technological know-how that vanished no more than a few hundred years ago. According to them, this abandoned technology proves that Jesus ruled over an advanced society in the recent past (and then He apparently just abandoned it…and us).
But does the Little Season and Tartaria fit Biblically, historically, and logically? The answer is a resounding NO! A mere cursory examination of this theory shows that it is utterly ludicrous! So why is it being promoted so vigorously? I was puzzled by this until I noticed that the promoters of this theory, tended to also hold to another long-held and equally poor eschatological theology. And the Little Season is their latest attempt to justify their bankrupt beliefs.
I break it all down in this special episode of Faith By Reason
Refuting silly escatology
I absolutely love your work and heard ya on nephilim death squad. I was always a pre or mid tribulation believer, and I really like the 3 rapture theory you put forth. My dad had a many similar takes to you, and he passed shortly before I knew about faith by reason this year. Really wish I could send him some episodes and we could debate and discuss them. Keep up the good work Ed, love the show, it’s helped me through alot (I listen to the podcast, please keep it all in one feed.)
Good afternoon. Love your work btw. Was listening to you on death squad in the little season episode. You mentioned Isaiah 11:6- the lion will lay down with the lamb.
Your words. Look up that verse. It’s the wolf will lay down with the lamb. What do you make of this change? It’s freaking me out kind of. I don’t think we all remember this verse wrong
No, I just think we transpose wolf and lamb, with lions eating straw like an ox. IF I said that on NDS, then I just mispoke. I know I specifically said wolf and lamb on my video. It’s just one of those common errors that gets picked up and repeated like “Luke, I am your father” (which Darth Vader never said), vs. “No, I am your father”, which is the actual line from the Star Wars movie.
Hello! I listened to this and I’ve got a question. For your 1st objection to Little Season Eschatology, you appealed to Revelation 6:14. This is found in the Book of Revelation, traditionally attributed to John of Patmos, rather than Jesus directly. The specific verse is:
**Revelation 6:14 (NIV):** “The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.”
My question is: Why did you leave out the first half of the verse about the sky receding like a scroll? You argued we can’t be in the Little Season because it says the mountains and islands were removed, yet they’re still here. Yet, the sky is still here, too. Which, if you included the entire verse, would contradict your own Eschatology if you were to remain consistent.
You said you’re using contrastive thinking, as opposed to comparative thinking (meaning, you said you’re being humble and trying to prove your ideological opponent right, instead of trying to prove yourself right). But this argument you made is a clear contextomy fallacy, and one that must be deliberate. You can’t have “accidentally” left out the first half of the verse. You saw what it said and made a decision to leave it out because you realized that if you include it, it would invalidate the entire argument you made.
Beyond that, I heard a lot of appeal to ignorance fallacies and appeal to incredulity fallacies after that. Ex: “there’s no evidence of Jesus returning 1k+ years ago” (I’m adding “that you’re aware of” or “presented by mainstream academia”). You realize Little Season Eschatology claims that mainstream academia is purposefully trying to cover all of that up, right? So you’re just committing a circular reasoning fallacy by assuming the history taught by mainstream academia is necessarily accurate [the word of man].
I didn’t mention the sky rolling up like a scroll because I wasn’t addressing Revelation 6. I was actually referencing Revelation 16:20 where it says that all the islands fled away and mountains weren’t found. So your entire premise is incorrect (as well as all the other assumptions you made about me based on the false premise).
Speaking of fallacious arguments, I don’t have to prove that Jesus didn’t return 1K+ years ago. The burden of proof is on you little season people since you are the one’s making the claims. Now, do you have any actual, conclusive evidence that Jesus returned 1k+ years ago? If not, then my premise that there is no evidence stands.
So your only evidence for this great historical cover up is the fact that there is not evidence of it. That my friend is the very definition of circular reasoning.
There is evidence that our dates have been altered. Ancient coins exist that seem to be dated in the 1600s but with closer examination, the 1 in the year is actually an i or a j.
If Satan was able to do a reset of Earth after the millennium, he would have arranged to hide evidence of the millennial kingdom in multiple ways. Why were there so many insane asylums? Why is there advanced architecture of the same style around the Earth? Just check out the US state capital buildings – who built them? How did the people of the time with carts and horses build them? Why was the advanced technology (free energy) on these ancient buildings dismantled and destroyed?
Consider Satan’s influence over our entire civilization since the 1800s. It’s far more evil today that most are willing to admit. Why is that?
What if dispensationalism has been Satan’s way of getting the church generally thinking and anticipating a Mark of the Beast, Antichrist, tribulation, etc? Clever if all that was fulfilled in the first century.
Maybe Satan is hiding in plain sight and we don’t recognize his tactics of twisting the truth and outright lying.
Preterism and the Little Season concepts should be given another look. Maybe Satan is about to be taken away for good and we have a stellar eternity to look toward to.
Why is there no evidence that Jesus returned? Why is there massive documentation of the 33 years of Jesus’ first advent but NONE of His 1000 year kingdom? Why is there no evidence of the dramatic global changes of the Tribulation? Why is there enormous and vivid evidence of every earthly kingdom that has ever existed, but NONE of the supernatural Kingdom of the living God on earth? Why is Satan unable to erase 33 years of Jesus on earth which only affected an area the size of New Jersey, but he is somehow able to completely erase a WORLD-WIDE kingdom that lasted 1000 years? Is Satan more powerful than God? Why don’t any of these so called advanced tartarian structures show any connection to Jesus or the Bible? The Kingdom of Jesus is called “everlasting” in the bible, so why isn’t He still here? Why isn’t Satan doing what the Bible said he would do in the little season? Can Satan change God’s word? Why are we not experiencing ANY of the features mentioned in Isaiah and Ezekiel about the Millennium? Why do you continue to hold on to a theory about God’s plan that contradicts the Bible?
“When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth“. Based on that premise, you are assuming that the geography that you have been taught about city and kingdom locations is true and that deceiving the nations would somehow make taught geography, history, and cosmology exempt. The fact is that the evidence well known epithets like The year of our Lord”, dates on coins with an “I” and “j” and building plaques having dates altered is literal proof of worldwide revisionism.
Looking at the current state of world leadership and institutions that ignore and coverup these found evidences and instead stick to a regimented adherence to a historical narrative that is in contradiction to these finds is only ignoring the capabilities of a corrupt ruling elite, who in league with Satan’s deception would somehow not concoct a false version of history of the last 1000 years, geographical locations, and current time period in relation to Revelations. Rockefeller & Rothschild hands in education and geopolitics, not to mention the Oxford press dominant push of the Schofield Bible Judie-Christian Zionism deception are all perfectly valid observable examples that the trust in mainstream institutions by Christians is just ridiculous.
There are MANY reasons to reject the idea that we are currently in the “Little Season”. But the primary ones are :
1. There is no evidence for it
2. It blatantly contradicts the Bible
I go into significant detail on these points in the video
My main concern when reading that verse about satans short season is that He will be able to deceive people after Jesus reigned on the earth, where the whole world previously knew Him. That has me convinced we’re in it more than anything. He is still here in His glory and power but there is undeniably an army working for satan to deceive us at every angle. Then you need to research the true Gog of the land of Magog & Alexander the Great..
Matt
I do believe Satan’s lil season should be looked at carefully. What many fail to grasp is when anyone is deceived, they don’t know they are deceived.
I agree that some theories should be examined carefully. And if they contradict the Bible, then they should be rejected.
I think E.M. that you are a shill for the elite. Pushing more lies against the folks who are waking up to the truth.
You caught me! I just wish the elite paid me better. I need a new yacht.
correct. Its funny to me how many hold tightly to beliefs they themselves can not fully explain
Hello, I stumbled upon this post and have a few questions on the statements you made at the end of your post referring to this theory as “utterly ludicrous” and lumping anyone who is in agreement with this theory as having “long-held and equally poor eschatological theology . Can I ask for you to elaborate on this?
I can agree that this theory is paradigm changing and that often causes people to react in a way of extreme defense, that often results in insults, in order to hold on to their beliefs tightly in order to not examine them. Does the bible not tell us to test everything (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and pray for discernment (Philippians 1:9-10). Unless you have truly looked into this entire theory and searched the scriptures while also praying for the truth to be revealed how do you know?
I ask you to simply explain theses statements made by Jesus.
The following two quotes he states that some standing infront of him at that moment would see his return.
Mark 9:1: “And he [the Messiah] said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God having come with power.'”
Luke 9:26-27: “For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
Jesus warns those who kill his apostles.
“That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth!” Matthew 23:35
“Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.” Matthew 23:36 He is speaking to the generation who killed his apostles, not a generation 2000 years later.
Jesus says to Caiaphas (and those with Caiaphas),
“I say unto you, Hereafter shall all of you see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven!” Matt 26:64
Joh also opens the book of Revelation stating he is in tribulation. “I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.”
The second temple was destroyed 40 years later in 70AD by the Roman Empire (which was not the empire of Italy, it was a worldwide empire matching that of the last worldy kingdom.)
The Jewish historian, Josephus, and the pagan Roman historian Tacitus both independently record seeing the Son of Man returning in the sky along with battles also being fought with armies in the clouds. Both accounts are strikingly similar 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8.
The explanation for how this deception in our time happened is seen in Revelation 20 where it states that after the 1000 year reign Satan is rereleased and allowed to deceive the entire world one last time. Would it not make sense to why the middle ages run roughly 1000 years and little to nothing is known about this period and history seems to restart about that time. If satan was rereleased his best chance of deceiving us again is to change the times in which we are living.
Look into Orphan Trains, asylums, Mudfloods, melted buildings and old tartarian buildings all of which point to the reeducation and extermination of people who knew the timeline, evidence to armageddon and evidence of buildings built with technology and knowledge that we can no longer duplicate (built by resurrected saints).
It never hurts to research in a way to find out the truth. Lokk at the book case for Christ.
Godspeed in your journey.
Did you watch the video? I addressed most of what you wrote in detail. Jesus appeared in His “Royal Authority” (the correct translation of that statement) 6 days after He made the statement (not 40 years later) in the very next chapter at the Mt of Transfiguration. Where did Josephus make this claim? I’ve read Antiquities of the Jews and it is not in there. I’m still waiting on a Little Season theorist to give me an actual reference. I don’t see how the other verses you listed prove the Little season.
I haven’t watched the video yet but thank God for a voice of reason. I’m astonished at the growing idea that we’re in Satan’s “little” season, that has apparently lasted nearly 1000 years itself and completely contradicts scripture and logic. Nowhere in scripture does it say people can still get saved during Satan’s little season; in fact it says the second resurrection happens at the start of the little season and by that point the church is complete. The raised unelect are gathered by Satan to make war on Christ and His camp. Not to mention the return of Christ will be like lightning, no one will need to question if it happened. And, the question I never get an answer to is WHERE IS JESUS NOW? and the best evidence I hear for the SLS theory is the fancy architecture is too extravagant for mere man to build, and the towers with pointy tops gave everyone free energy. I mean, I believe in some pretty wild conspiracies, but the SLS theory is just dumb.
I think we are pretty much in agreement. Let me know what you think after you watch the video.
