  1. 3 Resurrections

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    This statement is also true of those who were faithful to God in their lifetimes during the past millennium years from 968-967 BC until AD 33 (when that millennium ended). By faith, they lived and reigned with Christ during that literal thousand years, and shared in the benefits of having...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    You have fallen for the mistranslation that Scofield's study Bible invented out of thin air for the Greek term "genea". This word "genea" typically speaks of all those living at a certain point of time - in other words, contemporaries. Jesus spoke of "this generation of the wicked" out of...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    This Luke 21:3536 text is better translated in the literal versions such as the YLT, which reads, "For as a snare shall it come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land" (tes ges - the land of Israel). "Watch therefore at every season praying, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Wrong. "Christ the Firstfruts" and the 144,000 First-fruits with Him were those who composed the "First resurrection" event at Passover in AD 33. And yes, it only included those "blessed and holy" saints in that particular event, which included only the Matthew 27:52-53 resurrected saints...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    You aren't bothering to read who Jude was speaking about. "Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about THESE MEN ALSO, saying, 'Behold the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them ..." Don't you realize who Jude...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Of course Christ's return includes a resurrection of the dead. I've never denied this. But there is more than one of these bodily resurrection events, or we would not have scripture mentioning the "FIRST resurrection". It was the "FIRST" of two other bodily resurrection events to come...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Do you understand what being made a "footstool" actually is? The OT used to call Jerusalem's temple (and particularly the ark of the covenant) God's "footstool" (1 Chron. 28:2, Lam. 2:1). It was where intercession was made on behalf of God's people and the fire of God on the altar was kept...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    No, we today are not waiting for the second appearance of Christ. We are waiting on the final third appearance at His next return. Christ now "rules in the midst of His enemies". And there is more than just a single "reaping" of the harvested bodies of the saints out of the ground. Israel's...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    What on earth is so sad about Preterism? The scriptures proves that Satan's entire realm has been dead and gone since AD 70. We are presently occupying the New Jerusalem reality, with its open gates of invitation to the nations to enter and be healed. The wicked are outside those New...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    ...and you are still failing to address the scriptures brought up that prove an AD 70 return for Christ to the Mount of Olives before that first-century generation had passed away. Why should this bother you that Christ returned back then in the first century as He said He was going to, and...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    I was first alerted to this LXX version of Zechariah 14:4-5 several years ago by a poster on one of the Christian forums (gracecentered.com in their Eschatology forum section) where I am a member. They entitled their post "Ye shall NOT flee to Azal". I noticed just now that a post by almost...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Don't forget it says North and South also. "And half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south." What do you think happens when an earthquake occurs for a mountain? Rocks split apart in all directions and fall downhill, just as Zechariah predicted that the Valley...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    That was the plague of starvation in Jerusalem - so sudden and acute that the flesh of men would "dissolve" as they stood upon their feet. This affected the beasts also (Zech. 14:15). Anyone knowing the history of the siege which Titus began in the spring of AD 70 just after Passover started...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    If you are thinking that this Zechariah 14:4 verse is describing something like a meat cleaver chopping the Mount of Olives in half, of course that never happened. The translation of this verse is off track. Try reading it in the LXX instead of the KJV or other translations like it. An...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    I notice that you aren't even bothering to address the language of the scriptures involved....
