What Is the Correct Meaning of “You Are Lukewarm, and Neither Hot Nor Cold” to the Laodicean Church?
I talked about the correct interpretation of Revelation 3:14–16. I explained an important piece of cultural-geographical background that illuminates the meaning of this bit of text. “Hot” and “cold” are not being contrasted with each other.

Satan Is Not Bound by a Bungee Cord, as Amillennialists Would Have You Believe
In arguing that Satan’s present-day activities are not in conflict with his present-day imprisonment in Revelation 20, Hendriksen writes, “A dog…bound with a long and heavy chain can do great damage within the circles of his imprisonment” (Hendriksen 1967: 190).
