    Interesting preterist argument

    It seems to me that the major discussion has been around Mat 24:34: - Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. It comes down to what our understanding of the Greek Root Word "genea" means. Below is one definition for the Hebrew Root Word...

    Interesting preterist argument

    I retired at the end of 1999, so you work out how old I might be and whether or not I might be still around. I am simply not presuming that I might be. How many days are between an early Spring budding of leaves on a fig tree and when the Summer Season actually starts? This is not as...

    Interesting preterist argument

    I love your negative opinions which have no scriptural basis. Did Jesus state that He was returning at the beginning of the Summer Season? Do you have any scriptures that justify your stated claim in the quote above from your post? Now if we do not see the events surrounding the gathering...

    Interesting preterist argument

    So many experts blowing their trumpets about what the Matt 24:32 prophecy of the fig tree budding means. Here is my two cents worth. The Fig tree represent the nation of Israel. From nature we know that trees, like the fig tree, will bud in the early spring, usually four to five days before...

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    Hello, In just quoting Romans 11:26 we miss the timing of when God will begin gathering Israel to Himself in Romans 11:25b. This is how I understand it will happen: - Romans 11;25-27: - 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in...

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    ^^^ continued from post above This is a very different picture that God has presented in Jeremaih. Something that shows that the Roman Empire is not the fourth segment of the Daniel 2 Statue prophecy as it was the Seleucid Empire that stripped the Land of Babylon of its utility structures and...

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    All of the above enlightenment as to the beast(s), the False Prophet, i.e. the Little Horn of the OT, and Satan is based on Just the Book of Daniel and Revelation. However, there are other OT Books like the Book of Jeremiah which are pertinent to our particular time period during the period...

    Interesting preterist argument

    My question is how important is it for me to satisfy your demands to identify which specific descendant of Ephraim first went into slavery in Egypt. From my perspective, it is not necessary to identify which descendant of Ephraim's began to be oppressed by the Egyptians. It makes no...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    They always go looking for the easiest answer they can find which often never answers their enquiry to say the least.

    Spiritually called Sodom and Egypt?

    You have never critically considered the chronology surrounding the Birth of Christ. Jesus was only a few days old when Joseph took both Mary and Jesus down to Egypt and when he had heard that Herod had died, he returns to Bethlehem but decide to return to Nazareth instead. It is from Nazareth...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    There is much evidence on this forum of members who lack the ability to think critically.

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Never use the word "never" when talking about the scriptures. Thanks for providing evidence that proves what I have posted.

    Interesting preterist argument

    Let us consider the scriptures first and the three prophetic words given in Genesis 15:12-16: - Genesis 15:12-16: - 12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. God's first prophetic words 13 Then He said to Abram: “Know...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    You and I could be right, and you and I could also be wrong. My experience is that a mountain is associated with a place where people go to worship their "god(s)" which is associated with a type of or a particular religion. This metaphorical language around a mountain has only made sense to me...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    In Daniel 2, Daniel wrote of a rock/stone that comes down out of Heaven untouched by human hands in our near future and will then become the largest mountain on the whole earth. Perhaps the seven mountains are seven religions upon which the woman sits. Perhaps your metaphor or symbolism is a...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    That might be one label that you might want to apply to what I post. I hold to a very different understanding as to when Isaiah 24:21-22 will take place. In Ezechiel 34: 25-30 God makes this promise to the Israelites after He has gathered them to Himself. Ezekiel 34:25-30: - 25 "I will make...

    HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Why I believe this about the timing of the NHNE

    So, what you are saying is that you have not seen or read what I have posted in the scriptures. That is a "your problem" and not a "my problem". I did provide the basis as to how I arrived at my conclusion as to the approximate year in which the final judgement will take place. Oh well, your...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Perhaps you would like the following diagram which highlights that there where ten descendant generation born in Egypt in Ephraim's line and not the assumed four generation that you have accepted as being born in Egypt. It is marvellous what can be found from just reading the scriptures. The...
