"To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts ... for he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us therefore labor to enter into that rest ..." It is a difficult thing for legalists to learn to rest in faith that it is Jesus...

Actually there is, and it is recorded in a collection of books called the "Old Testament." The first five books of that collection are the "books of Moses" that contain the covenant God made with the nation of Israel when he delivered them from the bondage of Egypt a very long time ago, a...

My friend, the feasts and sabbaths of the Mosaic Law were not abolished by the translators of the Bible. They were abolished by God when he removed everything that was required, by law, in order to keep the feasts. You can't keep Passover without a Passover. You can't "feast" without korban, the...

But there is only one entity in all of world history that has shed the blood of the apostles and prophets, and that was Jerusalem. In Christ, Pilgrimer P.S. Do you not believe that Jesus is present now?

That would depend on what exactly you understand "Yom T'ruah" to foreshadow. On the Day of Trumpets the trumpets sound the t'ruah, the three short blasts that were used throughout the Bible as an alarm to warn the people of impending destruction: "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound the...

I came to the same conclusion which brought me out of premillennialism many years ago. It's simply not true that Jesus will reign for a thousand years or that his kingdom will last for a thousand years, the Scripture says he will reign forever and of his kingdom there will be no end. So the...

This reminded me of one of my favorite sayings: "Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow ... if one would find pearls, he must dive below." In Christ, Pilgrimer

I abandoned the premillennial scheme back in the late 80's, not because of eschatology, but because of soteriology, which to my mind is far more important to get right, let the escha chips fall where they will. In Christ, Pilgrimer

The idea that "Mystery Babylon" of the Revelation is the Roman Catholic Church was propounded by a rabidly anti-Catholic Scottish minister in the 1850's. He was not educated in ancient religions but set out to "prove" that the Roman Catholic Church was the Mystery Babylon of the Revelation by...

I admit I didn't have time to watch the entire video, but I think they are failing to consider something. Before the Big Bang theory, accepted scientific theory was that matter is eternal, that it may change form, but it never ceases to exist and therefore there was no "beginning," the universe...

God helped me understand the idea of His eternal existence by showing me that no matter where I try to draw a line across the universe and say that space stops here, there will always be something on the other side of the line, even if its just empty space. So even the heavens teach us about...

Well, in all fairness, the report in Josephus that the naval battle on the Sea of Galilee resulted in so many dead that the sea was stained red with blood and the beaches so filled with dead, rotting corpses the stench even drove away the battle-hardened Romans, and the multitude of corpses that...

T Yes. Absolutely! The death and resurrection of Jesus changed everything. The New Covenant Sabbath isn't a day of the week, it's the Day of Salvation, it is "Today, if you will hear his voice" and through faith "enter his rest," as Paul explains in Hebrews 4. The Sabbath of the Old Covenant...

I didn't read all the responses so if I repeat something I apologize (but I doubt if I did). lol I think the strong delusion was the belief that the Messianic kingdom would be an earthly kingdom that could be established by the sword. That was the lie that destroyed the Jewish nation, and...

Just pointing out a danger in studying the original languages or history of the Scriptures. As Paul pointed out in 1 Corinthians 8:1, knowledge can indeed make people proud and haughty and it is a very common human failing, even for Christians. Years ago I was so excited about finally being able...

In English his name is Jesus Christ. In Spanish his name is Jesucristo. In Italian his name is Gesu Cristo. In German his name is Jesus Christus. In Chinese his name is Yesu Jidu. In Filipino his name is Hesukristo. In Hindi his name is Yisu Masiha. In Irish his name is Iosa Criost. In Samali...

Because the 1000-year Messianic kingdom is God’s pre-existing, eternal Kingdom of Heaven during the period of time when Jesus is seated on the throne with the Father and the Father has made everything in heaven and on earth subject to His Son. It is limited in time because the day will come when...

But why base your understanding of the whole kingdom concept on an assumption that the disciples were talking about the restoration of the Rabbinic ideal? Because there’s a lot more in the Scripture about this whole idea of the “restoration/reconstitution/regeneration” of the Davidic rule than...

I apologize for the length of my posts, but I believe the point of these forums is to actually discuss views, not simply state what they are. And discussion involves "why" we hold a particular view, the Biblical reasons for it, and since my views are founded on rather extensive Biblical...
