Candlesticks and olive trees are used figuratively in Zec 4, but the figures within that chapter were defined for us as things that existed during Zechariah's time (the Jewish leader Zerubbabel being one of them). So on the basis of the definitions in Zec 4, could Zerubbabel and/or "the two...

I didn't say you are ignoring God's word but you are ignoring the use of sound hermeneutic pronciples in favor of traditionally taught doctrines. Considering that there are literally thousands of endtimes views and most built in the absence of sound hermeneutic principles it is in our best...

If the New Testament definitions did not fit perfectly then it would be proper to seek answers in the Old Testament, but sound hermeneutic principles require one to use New Testament definitions (olive trees are Jews being Christians per Romans11 and Candlesticks being churches per Rev1) for the...

I won't argue about who financed C. I. Scofield because there is plenty of evidence suggesting that was a strong possibility (and most likely the case) but it is an undeniable fact that the Jesuit priest Francisco Ribera penned a doctrine back in 1591 and that doctrine went through a series of...

It's not that I don't recognize it, but that I am of the opinion one is better served to use sound hermeneutic principles for interpreting the prophetic Scriptures. That method requires using New Testament defintions (olive trees being Jews and Christians from Romans11, and churches for...

You ask “where’s the meat?” LOL Haven’t I already demonstrated in my earlier posts in this thread that according to Rev1:20 candlesticks are churches(remember churches are people not buildings)? Haven’t I already demonstrated that according to Romans 11 olive trees are Jews and Christians? So...

The pretrib rapture theory is a commonly taught end time myth. This false myth got it’s start in 1591 with a Jesuit priest who’s goal was to stop the reformers from teaching the Catholic church was the whore of Babylon. The theory evolved through time with the aid of Manuel de Lacunza, Edward...

Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation, especially of the Scriptures. The branch of theology that deals with biblical exegesis. The rule of Scriptural adjacency is one of those principles and it is a very good one. That rule states: When you read something you don't understand, first...

I guess it all depends on whether one wants to use sound hermeneutic principles when interpreting Scripture or if they prefer following traditionally taught doctrines. From my perspective ( whether some one else agrees or not is their choice) I feel we are better served to use sound hermeneutic...

I didn’t forget those Scriptures, but I do hold a different view then you.. Let’s look at the definition of the original Greek word that is translated as prophet in our English bibles. prophētēs prof-ay'-tace From a compound of G4253 and G5346; a foreteller (“prophet”); by analogy an inspired...

The seven churches were seven churches that actually existed in John’s time. Not only did they exist in those times, but they were just as John described them. It is also interesting to note that the order of these churches is the same order that they followed the post road. Epistles were also...

If one were to do a serious study on marks and seals in Scripture we find that marks and seals are seen in visions (prophetic accounts) while they are not seen in the historical accounts. A perfect example of this is: Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through...

I believe we should use the definitions God's inspired word gave us for candlesticks and olive trees to determine who the two witnesses are. Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 11:4...
