No, that is not my point. Of course, you and I are not presently in eternity as of yet. We are waiting on the final third resurrection and the final judgment. At that point, there will no longer need to be any additional members as "living stones" being built up into the "holy temple" that...

Do you need me to quote 2 Kings 2:1 & 11 in the LXX for this? (In the LXX it is IV Kings.) "And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind AS IT WERE into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala...And it came to pass as they were going, they went on...

The LXX account of Elijah and the whirlwind says that "Elijah was caught up AS IT WERE into heaven" (not that he was taken in God's presence yet, but merely transported through the skies to another part of the country). We know that Elijah never ascended to heaven and God's presence because...

No, I never wrote that the Lake of Fire is a state of eternal suffering for the wicked. So we do not agree. The physical bodies of the wicked dead never rise (as in Isaiah 26:14 - "They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall NOT RISE: therefore hast thou visited and...

No, I have never said that. Christ's words to His disciples referred to "the end of the AGE" when Jerusalem and its temple would be destroyed along with His second coming dated to that same AD 70 year. He said nothing about the church being "complete" at His second coming. There have been...

The Lake of Fire is not described as being under the earth. John called the Lake of Fire the same thing as "the second death". This is NOT - repeat - NOT a second death of people, because that would contradict the rule of a one-time-only appointment to a physical death experience for all men...

Surely you notice that "day and night" are still going on in this environment. That means this is a location on earth where the living inhabitants are being tormented - not the Hadean realm for the wicked dead. And the worship given to the Sea Beast and its image is still going on in this...

This is immaterial. The subject of the discussion is the same, wherever Christ spoke those words about Jerusalem and the temple's total destruction. Everything Christ said on this subject would fulfill everything which had been written about it in the OT scriptures.

This totally confuses the whole interpretation concerning these Beasts. There are TWO DIFFERENT BEASTS being written about here. Revelation 13's Sea Beast rose from the "sea" of pagan Gentile nations. Scripture very often contrasts the "earth" as the land of Israel with the "sea" of pagan...

In Jude, it is the fire itself which is eternal - the cities' suffering is not said to be eternal. God's eternal fire in vengeance destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain. Jude had to be referring to God as the Source of that eternal fire coming in a constant stream from...

Of course it does. What do you think the word "desolation" means? "And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation thereof in nigh...For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." Have you never read about those...

Of course this "anointed cherub" was originally created perfect, but chose to rebel against God, thereby transitioning into Satan / the Dragon / the Devil / the ancient Serpent. There is no specific name given to Satan in the scriptures. But as you are probably aware, the book of Enoch names...

This "anointed cherub" who had been in Eden, as Ezekiel 28:18-19 tells us, was most definitely the Devil / Satan / the Dragon / the ancient Serpent. Scripture links all these together as being the same character in Revelation 12:9. God through Ezekiel was then predicting the manner in which...

No, Isaiah 14 never mentions the anointed cherub at all. It speaks a prophecy against the oppressive "king of Babylon" (Is. 14:4), and calls him "Lucifer". This king of Babylon would die, with worms covering him and under him. Those that witness his death would ask "Is this THE MAN that...

There was no portion left of that eastern gate of the temple to be buried after AD 70. The entire temple was burned and torn down to the last stone - eastern gate included. It is immaterial if people over time have failed to "get" this fulfilled prophecy of Christ's second coming back then...

Many people read this phrase as if it meant "the people that are eternally suffering the vengeance of fire". The "eternal fire" emerges as a constant stream of fire from God's eternal throne (as in Daniel 7:9-10). The wicked are burned up in the judgment by this eternal fire emerging from...

That is a little bit off target from what I wrote. The "abomination of desolation" of "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" which Christ warned His disciples about FIRST occurred in October of AD 66. When Cestius Gallus's soldiers rested their shields on the temple wall in testudo-fashion and began...

That first Sea Beast of Rev. 13 doesn't exist anymore. John wrote in Rev. 13:2 that the Sea Beast was given the throne of Satan. John identified where that throne of Satan was in Rev. 2:13, and it was in Pergamos. That Pergamos throne was given to the Roman republic in 133 BC by the dying...

If you can't understand that something called "a MAN" is not an anointed cherub, then I don't know what to tell you. Angelic beings as God created them are not humankind. Satan was never a man. Remember, Christ is also given the Lucifer title as the "Morning star" in Revelation 22:16. I...

Daniel 12:11-13 tells us. He predicted two events that would happen in the same season of time. The "abomination of desolation" would be set up" (which was "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" in Luke 21:20). This event would take place in the same season when a daily sacrifice would be taken...
