    Babylon

    Your arguments are contradictory and that’s why they don’t hold water. You see the beasts in Daniel 7 as “heavenly hosts,” but Daniel sees them rising from the sea, which is not heaven in any sense. In fact, the imagery is cryptic of the wicked ordained powers on earth, Isaiah 57 20 But the...

    The problem is your comprehension, not my post. Remove the beam from your own eye before you attempt to remove my splinter. lfh

    Babylon

    The context of Zechariah 13:7 is about the refining of Israel, which is done by scattering or sowing them in the nations. Talk about ignorance of the OT. lfh

    Babylon

    Acts 2 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, ESV The antecedent of “his” is David. David’s throne wasn’t in heaven, which Revelation 3:21 and Matthew 25:31 affirm. Like David, Christ was anointed...

    Babylon

    Poor argument, implying I don’t read the scripture and go by them. Walvoord made a valid point, the prophecy about Babylon can’t be taken literally, when history is taken into account. It isn’t about modern day Iraq; it’s about an entity that fornicates with the kings of the earth and enriches...

    Babylon

    No, what I did is expose your misrepresentation of Acts 2:29-36. The other passages I cite reveal you’re wrong about Acts.

    Babylon

    I agree with the Reformers, not the Jesuit cult who served the little horn/beast and conjured preterism. sml The Reformers took note all the transitions of the image represent the end of one kingdom and the beginning of another and the feet and toes are no exception. Furthermore, verse 41...

    Babylon

    You should read Walvoord on the issue. He stated that the prophecy on the devastation of Babylon couldn’t be “literally fulfilled,” As far as the historic fulfillment is concerned, it is obvious from both Scripture and history that these verses have not been literally fulfilled. The city of...

    Babylon

    Obviously, preterists pay no attention to grammar and syntax. Daniel 2:44 states, “in the days of these kings,” meaning more than one; Tiberius was “one” king of the iron legs, so it can’t mean in the time of Tiberius. The kings of the iron legs ruled sequentially, not simultaneously. The...

    Have you never read this passage, Daniel 2 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever...

    Babylon

    No, I don't believe Christ is seated on David's throne at this time because the scriptures don't prove any such thing any more than they affirm Idealism. Matthew 19:28, 24:46-47; Luke 12:35-44, 19:11-27; John 14:2-3; and Revelation 2:25-26, 3:21 all affirm Christ returns to rule in all power and...

    Babylon

    Obviously, you don’t grasp the grammar of the phrase "in the days of these kings." We can’t trust the mental gymnastics of those who try and interpret them as 10 consecutive emperors or the strengths and weaknesses of the Roman Empire. And obviously we can’t trust the mental gymnastics of those...

    MYSTERY, BABYLON... IS NOT THE CHURCH OF ROME

    Obviously, you don’t know the difference between deliver and interpret. Daniel delivered the prophecy the little horn rises out of the fourth beast. Even Francisco Ribera rightly interpreted the fourth beast as the ancient Roman Empire but then he twisted the prophecy to mean the little horn...

    State you case and I'll reply.

    MYSTERY, BABYLON... IS NOT THE CHURCH OF ROME

    Again, futurism is the brainchild of a Jesuit priests, Francisco Ribera. That's what history affirms. Daniel 7: 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces...

    MYSTERY, BABYLON... IS NOT THE CHURCH OF ROME

    Futurism is the brainchild of a Jesuit priests, Francisco Ribera. Historicism has a history prior to that in men like Martin Luther. Historicism fits perfectly with the exegesis of the prophecies concerning the beast from the sea/little horn and the historical accounts of the end of the Roman...

    Babylon

    Reading Zechariah 13:7 by itself doesn't affirm Christ came to scatter the sheep or sow them in the world. One has to grasp the other passages I cited in order to exegete further on Zechariah 13:7 (Jeremiah 31:1-2, 27-38; Ezekiel 34:25-31; Hosea 2:14-23; Zechariah 10:7-9, 13:7). Preterists have...

    Babylon

    The scriptures affirm Christ came to punish the shepherds and scatter the sheep (Zechariah 13:7), which is the kingdom of God. Christ returns to gather the sheep into his kingdom in Matthew 19:28, 24:46-47; Luke 12:35-44, 19:11-27; John 14:2-3; and Revelation 2:25-26, 3:21, at the harvest in...

    Babylon

    As I stated, the Old and NT both agree the kingdom of God represents the scattering of Israel that finds grace in the wilderness (Jeremiah 31:1-2; Ezekiel 34:25-31; Hosea 2:14-23; Zechariah 10:7-9, 13:7). All the OT passages are the sources of Christ's parables that foreshadowed by the harvest...

    Babylon

    The scattering of Israel is “the kingdom of God,” that finds grace in the wilderness (Jeremiah 31:1-2; Ezekiel 34:25-31; Hosea 2:14-23; Zechariah 10:7-9, 13:7). All the OT passages are the sources of Christ's parables that foreshadowed by the harvest season. The scattering fulfills the promise...
