    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    It is easy to see where I believe the antichrist comes from. Simply go to my web site www.expressright.com He will glorify the worship of man and deny the existence of God. He will be a Jew of Russian descent I believe. samy

    The Anti Christ a Jew?

    My understanding is that the antichrist was expected to come from the tribe of Dan. This belief that predated the time of Christ was an outgrowth of Gen 49:16-17. Then in Rev 7 the tribe of Dan is not listed in the 144000 of chapter 7. samy

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    The Seventy Weeks of Daniel is one of the most important prophecies of the Old Testament. As we follow the words of the angel Gabriel, we learn about the unfolding of events that will attend the consummation of God's program to redeem mankind. Most noteworthy about the prophecy is the fact that...

    The Problems of Pretribulationism

    And Kriss, I just did not follow that thing about 'God had not yet set up...' Could you put that another way so I can get it? samy

    The Problems of Pretribulationism

    Kriss, Jesus began His reign at the end of the 3 1/2 year tribuliation, immediately following the finished work of the two witnesses (Rev 11:17.) Where was He? Were there any mortals there? Please explain. samy

    The Problems of Pretribulationism

    Kriss, Your very first statement about flesh and blood bodies not being able to exist with Christ in His kingdom is disproved by His post-resurrection appearances. 1 Cor 15. etc samy

    The Problems of Pretribulationism

    During the time of the great tribulation there will still be children born and people alive who are not converted and do not follow the beast or bear the mark of the beast. These are mortals who will go into the 1000 year reign with Christ. The phrase, "those who dwell on the earth" is a...

    The Problems of Pretribulationism

    Pretribulationism, the teaching that the church will be taken out of the world before the time of the great tribulation, is problematic. There is no question that the Scriptures teach the visible second coming of the Lord Jesus in glory with His angels, and that when He comes the church will be...

    What does he do with he passage I just mentioned to you from Rev 12? samy

    How about a new challenge in studying prophesy??

    But even the prophets of the Old Testaments spoke things about the future that they did not understand. We are not in error when we are futurists. Only when we abandon the proper Biblical interpretation of those symbols. Take for example the woman laboring to give birth in Rev 12. the OT, Micah...

    The Two Witnesses

    I don't suppose you've noticed that the two witnesses are the same as the 144,000? Notice now that the two witnesses (two churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna--remember, Jewish converts) are called up from the dead into the presence of the Lord, the first of any in the book of Revelation. Then in...

    The Seven Days of Creation

    Have you ever noticed that after the creation of the firmament there is no statement that it is good? While in each of the other days it says it is good. samy

    The Two Witnesses

    Kriss, I didn't write Revelation 11:1 where it says "rise and measure" John did. And i explained it from 2 Samuel 8:2 where a King, David measured a defeated group of people. did you read it? It was a line that separated a group of people from those who died. And I completly agree that it is an...

    The Two Witnesses

    Kriss, It's not speculation, it's obedience to the definitions in context. It says their body upon the street of the great city. The words "the great city" are defined in Revelation by an angel of God for John so he (and we) will not jump to conclusions. The angel defines the great city, NOT me...

    The Two Witnesses

    John is now supplied "a reed like to a king's scepter" (11:1). This is not a normal measuring device. The fact that a scepter is to be used for measuring indicates that the results are the function of a king's authority. The kind of "measuring" that John is acting out is similar to what King...

So don't mistake my mention of it...

    The Two Witnesses

    Denver, Here is where hermeneutics is so important in Revelation. The text does not say "Jerusalem." It says, "upon the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where also their Lord was crucified." In the book of Rev the great city is Babylon the Great, the harlot...

    The Two Witnesses

    Denver, Each church is a witness to their location within the one body of Christ. The church in Philiadelphia is a witness in Philadelphia, the church in Smyrna is a witness in Smyrna. They are both within the one body of believers in Christ; one body, two witnesses in two separated communities...

    The Two Witnesses

    Kriss, Here is th Greek, 11:8-9 8καὶ τὸ πτωμα ("the body", noun, neuter, singular, accusative) αὐτων ἐπὶ τnς πλατείας της πόλεως της μεγάλης, ἥτις καλειται πνευματικως Σόδομα καὶ Άιγυπτος, ὅπου καὶ ὁ κύριος αὐτων ἐσταυρώθη. 9καὶ βλέπουσιν ἐκ των λαων καὶ φυλων καὶ γλωσσων καὶ ἐθνων τὸ πτωμα...
