No, the Western Wall was part of the foundation of the Roman Antonia Fortress on top of it where the Roman troops were garrisoned. It did not support the Temple. All those buildings were razed to be laid "even with the ground", as Christ foretold in Luke 19:44. The Western Wall is similar...

Thank you, but these are not the ones to depend on if God already chose to define His own terms concerning when an "at hand" prophecy is fulfilled in Ezekiel 12:21-28. Everyone else who differs with God's definition should not be trusted with their "fuller meaning". Oh, but it did happen in...

I agree with this. That is why the Sea Beast had those "lion, bear, and leopard" features of all the pagan, Gentile empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece. All of these in one way or another had demanded homage over the centuries. Like the golden Babylonian image of Nebuchadnezzar that...

No, that is your own invented meaning for "at hand". In God's definition found in Ezekiel 12:21-28, an "at hand" prophecy takes place "in YOUR DAYS" for those who have that prophecy spoken to them. God not only speaks the prophecy, but He also says He will perform it in the lifetime of those...

I'm curious how you would interpret Ecclesiastes 3:14. "I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, or any thing taken from it: and God doeth it that men should fear before him." To me, this is expressing perpetuity in the acts of God's GWT judgment of his...

I'm a member on Steve Gregg's forum. He has a thorough, calmly-studied approach to the way he addresses issues which I can appreciate (even if in error on a number of things). And yes, I'm aware (and agree) that there are occasions where "aionion" is not an indication of a perpetual condition...

You have mistakenly conflated some of this cast of evil characters with each other. And it wasn't the entire Rev. 13 Sea Beast that was killed. It was only one of its heads that received a deadly wound. And this Sea Beast was not the Antichrist (since the word "antichrist" doesn't appear in...

The same "aionion" term is found for the eternal life which Christ promised for those who believed in Him (John 5:24, 6:47). This gift of eternal "aionion" life will never be revoked, once given. Neither is the "aionion" destruction of the wicked into ashes a fate that will ever be revoked...

First of all, the sense of "imminence" is clearly defined by God's own terms of what an "at hand" prophecy is. ALL of the unsealed prophecies of future events found in Revelation John wrote were "at hand" in Rev. 1:3 and 22:10. God defines this "at hand" term as a prophecy that is first spoken...

What is unique about Christ's bodily resurrection as glorified flesh and bones coming out of the grave is that He was the very first to ascend in that type of glorified, resurrected body form to the Father in heaven. This is what earned Christ the totally unique title of the "First-begotten...

God's fire during our life on earth can be either refining or annihilating, depending on the nature of what is being exposed to that fire. Just like your Malachi 3:2 example above, in the Zechariah 13:8-9 passage that describes the effect of God's siege against both Judah and Jerusalem in the...

Well, I am referring to Psalms 1:4, which contrasts the righteous and the ungodly. "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away." You are right that God does not make chaff. Things like "chaff" and "tares" are the result of Satan's original temptation of mankind...

Yep, and also thankfully, there is always much more grain than chaff. The "grain" is the majority percentage of all humanity that will be gathered into God's "barn". The "chaff" is the minority percentage.

The only predictions in Revelation that apply to your future and mine are the sealed up prophecies in Revelation 10:4 that John was forbidden to write down. These prophecies of the 7 thunders were all "sealed up" for the ages that would follow the AD 70 return of Christ ("the ages that are...

Actually, no, I have never said that either. I believe it is entirely possible that Christ in the future, final third resurrection and a GWT judgment will reign bodily on this earth when He has purged it of any remaining human evil for all time. In the meantime, as Christ once prayed to God in...

In my roughly 17 years of constant attendance at the SBC, there was never a sermon on anything eschatological - nor anything taught from Daniel or Revelation from the pulpit. In the Sunday school for adults, the father of the pastor taught some things on a couple occasions about AD 70, but he...

Christ's first coming was when He "came unto His own" in AD 30 with the launch of His public miraculous ministry. Christ's second coming return was in AD 70 to the Mount of Olives, just as Zechariah 14:4-5 foretold. Zechariah 14 did not predict Christ's first coming in AD 30. It actually...

?? I never said anything about Christ's first coming taking place in AD 70 in Zechariah 14. That was the second coming of Christ which Zechariah foretold in Zechariah 14:4-5. This second coming return of Christ had to take place when there were still the tribes and families of Israel living...

No. Since I was a young teen I have been Reformed Baptist, Southern Baptist, Independent Baptist, back to Southern Baptist again, and for the last 12 years have been a Preterist.

No, I don't disagree with Jesus. These verses above are describing the resurrected righteous being taken to heaven for a GWT judgment where rewards were to be given to every one according to their works. The dead written in the book of life (v. 12) were going to experience this as they stood...
