Paul [or the Bible translators] are often not clear enough about who they mean regarding the Jews and Israel. When we read Romans 9:24-27, it is clear that verses 24-26 are about Christians, from Jew and Gentile alike. Then in verse 27, he says: But about Israel [here he means just the Jews]...

Yes he did, because he preached to the Galatians, who were a Celtic tribe from the House of Israel. And James 1:1 and 1 Peter 1:1 wrote to Israel in dispersion. If you think that all of Israel rejoined under Rehoboam, circa 900 BC, then who were the people that Assyria conquered and took into...

Yes, in this age, while we Christians remain scattered around the world, we are God's Spiritual people. But the time; well prophesied and soon to come, that we will be the Lord's holy people, in all of His holy Land. That is our destiny; to be His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10 and the Light to the...

The two House's SEPARATED during Rehoboam's reign. 1 Kings 12:16-17 And we know they have not yet rejoined from all that is prophesied in Ezekiel 37 and even the Apostles knew the Jews were not all of Israel. Re the decreed exile: Why do you use a 360 day year? The earth orbits the sun in...

Too bad you don't bother to put what the Bible actually does say; Ezekiel 4:4-5....I ordain Israel's punishment for 390 days, one day for each year of their exile....Then Judah's for 40 years. They are separate times for separate nations, that have not rejoined as yet. Note that the House of...

When the ten Northern tribes of Israel were deported by Assyria, the people were lost only because they lost the name of Israel. In fact, they began to multiply and be prosperous in their exile, exactly as the prophets said that they would: Deuteronomy 33:1-29 Hosea 12:8 Ephraim says: Surely I...

It is the rapture to heaven theory that is the wild and new idea. God does not change, Christians have been persecuted for their faith since Stephen. To think that this generation should be removed from any hard testing, is just pretentious and simply wrong. I would like to see those...

Why DO people believe in a rapture to heaven? It’s a great idea! Get away from this troubled world. It is the only end times doctrine that many have ever been taught. But the fact there is no actual supporting scripture for this idea, is no deterrent because some scriptures can be made to...

Do humans ever go to heaven? The belief and teaching that all humans have natural immortality via an immortal soul can be traced back thousands of years. We can see from history that nations like Egypt and Babylon taught their people about an immortal soul in every human, that continued to...

I fully agree with the name of this thread: No Scripture supports the 'rapture'. Quote; The question of a rapture to heaven of the Church, is determined more by Church doctrine, that by eschatology. It is not an explicit teaching of Scripture, the Bible does not state it in so many words. The...

Kept from the hour of Trial… How do Revelation 3:10 and 1 Thessalonians 5:9 say we are to be ‘kept from the hour of trial’ and ‘not destined for retribution’? They are in the context of: Hold on to what you have, [your faith] let no one rob you of your crown. [your reward] Keep sober, armed...

I believe that when a person dies their soul goes back to God, who made it and because with God there is no time; then when the Great White Throne happens, that soul; along with every soul that ever lived, is made conscious again for the brief time of Judgement. There is no knowledge of any time...

Why is it then that those martyred for their faith have to 'sleep' under the Altar in heaven and are only allowed to cry out, asking God when He would repay their murderers? Revelation 6:9-11 Then told they must rest again until their number will be completed. Do every other dead person...

I'm sure we can say that Moses and Elijah are special people. They appeared to Jesus and may be the 2 Witnesses of Revelation 11 The idea of consciousness after death contradicts plainly stated scripture like Eccl 9:5 and Hebrews 9:27. Not going to happen, its just another Satanic lie.

Thank you, Richard. We are indeed, in agreement on these issues. ScottA; you have a rather unique view of Bible Prophecy. I see no point in trying to change your set opinions.

In that case, I meant 'the world' as we know it. There will be a [re]new heaven and earth. The end of this age is the Return of Jesus for His Millennium reign. 1000 years, as we are clearly told in Revelation 20. Don't mix up the different events. What you say here is part of the Great...

2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, whom I have named My own, submit and pray to Me, seek Me and turn back from their evil ways, then I shall hear from heaven, forgive their sins and restore their Land. The Lord’s people: those who believe in Him and keep His Commandments. Eph. 2:11-18 Psalms...

The souls of the dead all go back to God, who placed them into every human. Eccl 12:7 But the souls of those who have been beheaded for the sake of God's Word and their witness of Jesus, Rev 20:4, are the only ones that will come to life again at Jesus' Return. All the rest of humanity since...

Don't think living people carry on their lives under the heavenly Altar.

When is the end of the world? At the end of the Millennium, as Revelation 20:11 onward says. THAT is when the parable of the wheat and tares is fulfilled. The godless wicked are burned up and those found worthy; their names in the Book of Life, will receive immortality and enter Eternity with...
