I've looked into the Jewish calendar a bit and I agree with what you're saying. There does seem to be a possibility, however, that the ancient Jews may have use a 360 day year. The problem is, as far as I know, that there's really no historical records that go back far enough to either confirm...

Nice to have you back DL. I'm curious to know exactly which verses in Ez have the measurements you are referring to. If you could let me know I'd be grateful. :)

Rapture to Heaven? Seems pretty evident to me from scripture. But if that's how you see it you're entitled to your opinion. Concerning the Millennium, I have no argument with you about the dead not being raised till the GWTJ. I never claimed differently. What I did say is that the saints will...

With the rapture I just don't find any other interpretation that's convincing. For me it seems to be implied that being "caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" is talking about leaving the earth and going to Heaven. In Rev 11:12 it says, "and they ascended up to...

Well, that's one way to interpret 1 Thess 4:15-17 I suppose. To me seems more like the rapture since the trump of God is more than likely the same trumpet that's associated with the other verses connected with the rapture, (Rev 11:15, 1 Cor 15:52, Matt 24:31) which is sounded at the end of the...

Seems to me it's pretty clear in 1Thes 4:16-17 that we're going up to meet the Lord in the air up in the clouds. Sounds more like heading to Heaven than staying on earth where we already are. How do you interpret that? Also what about the marriage supper? Where does that take place? Would be...

You're correct that the NHNE doesn't come till the end of the Mil. What I said regarding the seals is that they will cover up till the NHNE. According to your interpretation the destruction of Gog and Magog just before the NHNE isn't mentioned in the sixth seal. It is in mine. That's where we...

I agree that at this point in time the seals include past events. However, when John received his vision all these things revealed in the seals were about the future, or at least from the present time in John's day till the New Heaven and New Earth. That's the starting point I'm referring to...

With the seals being literal or allegorical I think you could easily argue that both ways. And being alone in a belief doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong. In fact, if it was indeed a true belief, the way I see it, one might be in good company with many of the prophets. Not a good criteria for...

I agree that you could interpret the sixth seal as a one day event. However, I feel that the interpretation I put forth is more compelling because of the reasons I mentioned before. Also this interpretation isn't that cosmic events are extending over a lengthy period, but rather two cosmic...

I agree that we have yet to enter into the last 7 years of the 490 years or 70 weeks (sevens) of Daniel. I also agree that the first five seals have been happening since John's day, although I don't see them as happening in succession but simultaneously throughout time from John's day forward...

The rapture a gathering? If you mean a gathering as in "on the earth", well I suppose you could possibly interpret it that way. From the scriptures I read sounds to me like we're heading upward to Heaven for the marriage supper, and after that returning to earth to finish off the battle of...

When I say the second coming I mean specifically the rapture. I'm referring to the comparative relationship between Rev 6:12 and Matt 24:29. I guess we don't see eye to eye on the chronological order of the events in Rev. :) Concerning Ezekiel's temple, I just want to make one thing clear. I do...

I agree with you that the sixth seal is about the second coming of Christ. But the way I see it the sixth seal is also about the destruction of Gog and Magog at the end of the Millennium, in particular verses 14-16 of Rev. 6. For the sequence of events of Revelation I see it this way. The six...

Hi keras, Glad to have you join us in our discussion. I do agree that there will be a dramatic event to bring about a one world government under the rule of the AC. However I don't see the sixth seal as that event. In fact I see the sixth seal as the ending part of an overview of time from...

I agree that you could interpret it that way. I don't think I have ever stated otherwise. However, since you didn't answer my last question I would have to assume that you don't have any related prophetic passages to back up the claim that Dan 9:27 is talking about Jesus. And based on the fact...

Well said. Don't know how you could put it any better. :)

I guess we're getting quite a different picture from putting the pieces of the puzzle together. :) Concerning Dan 9:27 I would put forth a similar question. Besides the scripture in question, where do you find similar passages of Jesus associated with a covenant of a specified time, causing the...

That's certainly one way to look at it. I personally don't agree though. You are certainly entitled to your opinion but seems pretty clear to me from scripture that the interpretation I've put forth is much more compelling when you put all the passages of prophecy together. Just don't see how to...

I do believe you can find information online on plans to rebuild the Jewish temple. I think they have pretty much everything that's needed ready as well as the funding for the construction. The only thing holding them back is getting permission to build. That would be where the AC comes in with...
