    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    There are many reputable scholars over the years who have held that during the time of Peleg was when the continents were divided, since that is part of the verse also. it says that the earth "eres" (land, earth, world, etc) was divided. Eres is typically never used of people. Your assertion...

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    And many timelines presuppose that Revelation is sequential in order. That may not be the case. It comes across as more of a layered approach. But then, since it comes from a God that is several dimensions more than anything we can perceive, it is not a bizarre idea that Revelation would take...

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    A case could be made for Noah. God ordered him and his family into the ark and then sealed them in for 7 days prior to the destruction of life on the earth. And this was in the 600th year of Noah's life, which could be an illusion to 6000 years as they related to the 6 days of creation and 6...

    Everybody Think They Right

    I imagine that the majority of us will have egg on our face in the future because we thought we had certain concepts all figured out. I agree that it can be from pride, but also that it is human nature to want to feel right and will fight against being wrong any way we can. And every one of us...

    2. Israel in the End Times

    Came across this video yesterday and it seems to be on point with the OP's topic. May not be any more correct than any other theory on the issue, but it is a fascinating take on things nonetheless. Worth watching, if for nothing more than to see how the author puts his theory together.

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    Came across this video yesterday. An interesting take on the Rapture idea. It may be no more valid than any other theory, but it does have some fascinating ideas. Worth watching, even if one disagrees. I have not quite seen this take on the issue quite presented like this before.

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    Let's also look at the situation you are referring to, the days of Noah. Noah was the one righteous man along with his family. God had Noah and his family, along with the animals, enter the ark 7 days before He brought the rain and the flood upon the earth. And upon entering the ark, the Lord...

    Excellent post! I like how you cut thru the clutter and got right down to the meat of the issue.

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    You forgot to pile it on Isaac Newton. One can always tell, when the throw a rock at a pack of dogs, which one they hit. The one that yelps.

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    Try at least 1700 years. Sermons found from Ephraim the Syrian (more closely associated with the Eastern Church), roughly 4th century, spoke to a pre-tribulational removal of the righteous. The idea that some little girl had a dream about this and J N Darby picked up on it and made it a new...

    Is The Rapture Theory Biblical?

    I would say it has a basis in scripture. Harpazo in Greek has the meaning of being caught up. It was translated at Rapturo in the Latin Bible, from which we get the transliterated English word Rapture. So it does have a scripture basis, but what one does with that is of their own choosing...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    I think I have read enough. I am not raging. Still waiting for a definitive passage that confirms conclusively that Yeshua and JB are the witnesses of Revelation 11, which are "after these things" as stated in Rev 4:1, which comes immediately after the "which are" 7 churches. RE: #3... I...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    True, Yeshua is a faithful witness, but that doesn't mean He is THE witness of Revelation 11. Same for JB. Yeshua Himself said that His disciples were His witnesses also. While Yeshua is indeed the faithful witness per Revelation 1:5, He is also God Himself as He states in Revelation 2:8...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    Come on, it is an assertion from your perception of what the scripture says. Let's at least be honest. No passage in scripture says unequivocally that Yeshua is one of the two witnesses of Revelation. One might come to that conclusion via some perception of what the rest of scripture says...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    Ok. Not really inclined to go down that rabbit trail.

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    Would you please provide references on how Yeshua will be killed by the false messiah during that time (per the account in Revelation) and His body will be laid out in the street of Jerusalem for all the world to see (probably via CNN or Fox News) and then will be resurrected right in front of...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    My idea of who they are probably is no better than anyone else's idea. Moses and Elijah were at the transfiguration, and were recognized as such. Moses has generally been associated with the Torah or Law, and Elijah has generally been associated the prophets. Yeshua stated that the Torah and...

    "Hallowed be thy Name!" - WHAT name?

    Keep in mind, firstborn is a designation of position by election. Even thought Esau was "firstborn" in the sense of birth, Jacob was considered the firstborn by standing. This is what confuses folks like JW's. They think Yeshua was created as the first born. No. He is firstborn as a title...

    Is Jesus God?

    You quoted the post correct! You erred by focusing too close on NOT while ignoring the word that preceded it.... DISPEL should dispel any ideas that Yeshua was not the pre-existent almighty God It could likewise say with the same meaning.... should reject any ideas that Yeshua was not the...

    Is Jesus God?

    You must have a reading comprehension problem. I was making the point that Yeshua IS the Yahweh of scripture. You really need to read what is being written and not what you think is being written.
