Unfortunately, this is a wasted prayer, since God already got rid of that evil creature long ago. Paul wrote a promise to the Roman believers in Romans 16:20 (written around AD 60) that God was going to crush Satan under their own feet "shortly" - in their own lifetime. You are attempting to...

Do you have any kind of meaningful rebuttal? This is more of an ad hominem type of response than anything else...

I can see your line of reasoning. This would be a proper deduction IF both of those things were true - but they aren't. Men will never be able to live on the moon or Mars - the Van Allen belts make that impossible, regardless of what "space science" proposes. And Jesus is not returning soon...

This is incorrect. 1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus." If Christ today has not retained His identity as the Son of Man (as well as being the Son of God), then we have no mediator between God and men. It is the Son of Man...

Yes, that AD 66 judgment of the "locusts" of Gessius Florus's Roman troops harassing the inhabitants of Judea into the inevitable rebellion against Rome did mean that Christ's second coming return happened in that same first-century generation. Those iron breastplates in Rev. 9:9 worn by the...

1 Timothy 6:15 was speaking about "the APPEARING of our Lord Jesus Christ: which in its own times he shall show..." It wasn't that Christ had not yet been enthroned as the "King of kings and Lord of lords", but it was the APPEARING of our Lord Jesus Christ at his second coming return which had...

My parents both requested to be buried in a new set of pajamas. The symbolism not being lost that the body of the believer is merely sleeping until the day of the bodily resurrection. My father was posed by the funeral home staff with his hand tucked under his head as if he was only taking a...

There are also still "bond" and "free" people as well in this world. But that isn't quite the point. God doesn't give any significance to any of those classifications. I am not a Gentile. Neither are you. God does not regard the inhabitants of the world as being divided into Jew / Gentile...

There is no such thing as the "Gentile church" today. God has removed those classifications of Jew and Gentile. There is only the "One New Man" in Christ under the New Covenant. This is the true definition of the "Third temple". The temple of God is holy, which temple WE are, if we are in...

It's just as @quietthinker said above - its a metaphor symbolizing Christ's ability to cut his enemies in pieces with His pronounced word. After all, Moses's prediction to the nation of Israel was that whoever would not hear Christ's prophetic words would be "completely cut off" from among the...

God was going to commit all judgment to the Son, because He was the Son of Man and was entitled to wage war against His enemies and "stain all His raiment" in the process. This delegating authority to the Son of Man to execute God's judgment is found in John 5:22-24 & 27. "For the Father...

In the Matthew 22 parable about the "King" coming against the murderous servants, (the "King" being God), Christ said that the "King" would send forth "HIS armies" and destroy those murderers, and burn up their city. In other words, the Romans were only acting out the intended purpose which...

Having Christ "suddenly appear in their temple" was taken from the prophecy in Malachi 3:1-3. "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in...

We are more in agreement than you think on this. I do agree that the Zealot armies along with the Roman army were part of the PLURAL "Jerusalem surrounded by armIES" (plural). Daniel 9:26 wrote that "unto the end of the war desolationS (plural) are determined". Since the Roman army was...

Not really, according to those Partial Preterists I have encountered. In general, they tend to slice and dice the book of Revelation into some events which were literally fulfilled in the tumultuous AD 66-70 period, but relegate the scenes of final battle events, the judgment of Satan, the...

I wish to correct a misunderstanding of Paul's statement, when compared with the rest of scripture content. Salvation is not genetic, nor is is it issued with a marriage license. You would probably take issue with Paul when expressing a desire that his opponents concerning the circumcision...

You are thinking of what the third heaven's environment might be like where God dwells. I am speaking of the kingdom of heaven, which was then present among those to whom John the Baptist was speaking. "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" meant that the kingdom of heaven was then present on...

That's not what Zechariah 14:4-7 said concerning Christ's return. Christ's return was going to be "one day known to the Lord". It was going to be neither day nor night, (in between day and nighttime), and at evening time it would become light. Christ was going to return just as the sun was...

It's one thing for the unbelieving spouse and the children of that marriage to benefit by the exposure to the gospel through their believing partner or parent. It is quite another thing to say that this exposure automatically equates to salvation for that unbelieving person - or their children...

It was not 1,335 days "after the Roman sacking of Jerusalem". It was 1,335 days after the Roman soldiers under Cestius Gallus first made contact with the temple wall in AD 66 by resting their shields against it in testudo-fashion, and were about to begin undermining the wall. Josephus records...
