There are no beast features that Daniel gave which characterized the Egyptian or Assyrian periods. The oldest empire in Revelation 13:2 was represented by the "lion" feature, which was symbolic of the Babylonian empire in Daniel's prophecy. We cannot include the Egyptian or Assyrian periods in...

This is a good point to emphasize. John told his first-century audience to "calculate" or "compute" the number of the Sea Beast. This involved a kind of mathematical computation they were to do with this six-hundred and sixty-six amount. Luther once wrote that this 666 number applied to a...

Jesus's predicted return to the Mount of Olives as set forth in Zechariah 14:4-5 was going to take place after Judah and Jerusalem had been besieged (Zechariah 12:2). Zechariah 12-14 was giving the prophecy regarding the AD 66-70 siege of Jerusalem. Christ bodily returned to the Mount of...

Straight from scripture. All of it.

You are mixing up your Ezekiel quotes. The one you first gave above from Ezekiel 31 was God's description of how He would judge Pharaoh king of Egypt, just like he had judged "the Assyrian". Now you are wanting to bring up a different subject from the Ezekiel 28 chapter, which in verses...

This rebuilt gate at present is NOT the one the people were worshipping at in Zerubbabel's post-exilic temple. It was Zerubbabel's specific temple which was going to be part of Christ's return. And THAT temple gate was destroyed in AD 70 to the last stone. It is immaterial if another rebuilt...

No, Mary's actual bones will not be found. Nor any other of the saints' bones from Creation forward who had lived and died before the AD 70 bodily resurrection. Christ resurrected them all and took them with Him back to heaven from the Mount of Olives location at His AD 70 bodily return...

These two were not taken up into heaven to be with God at those times. That is because John 3:13 says that, as of that time, "no man hath ascended up to heaven..." Elijah was only taken "as it were into heaven" (in the LXX), and was transported to another location on earth where he wrote that...

If Nehemiah wrote concerning the post-exilic return that Jerusalem's houses were not builded (Neh. 7:4), and that the city "lieth waste" (Neh. 2:17), this is corroboration that Jerusalem was completely destroyed. Lamentations agreed with Nehemiah that the wall was torn down, and its gates and...

The entire book of Lamentations is a funeral dirge for the dead city of Jerusalem, its temple, and the nation's people sent into exile. This is good enough corroboration for me. Jeremiah was mourning the first death of Jerusalem in that book. In the AD 70 period, Jerusalem experienced its...

Christ's body leaving through the still-sealed walls of the tomb (leaving it empty of anything but the burial cloths) WAS His glorified body already. He was at that moment of His resurrection in possession of His deathless, immortal, incorruptible body form which is still in heaven today and...

This was fulfilled in Jerusalem's first death under the Babylonian invasion by Nebuchadnezzar, in the year 586 BC. As Micah 4:10 wrote concerning the judgment of exile for Israel's people, "...for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even...

God tells us that Pharaoh king of Egypt was being compared to one called "the Assyrian" in Ezekiel 31:3. "Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches..." etc. Just...

This is not true. The believers, just like Christ, are given "CHANGED" bodies - not an exchange which would leave our old body forms in the dirt to rot. The old body form for the saints is changed into an incorruptible state which is immortal and will never die again, just like Christ...

NOT. AT. ALL.

I'll offer a suggestion. Jesus during those 40 days was acting like a parent does when they are preparing their young adult children to launch from the home. They back off a bit and delegate more to them, to teach them responsibility so that they can succeed as mature adults. Jesus had...

Satan is never referred to as a man in scripture. He was called the "anointed cherub" which had been in Eden (Ezekiel 28), which is a totally different type of God's creative work. You are trying to connect humankind and angelic beings as the same thing, and they have different types of flesh...

I disagree with covenantee that this was fulfilled in the Bar Kokhba rebellion, since the entire prediction in Luke 19:43-44 would have a trench cast about Jerusalem, with the city's enemies surrounding them on every side. This was fulfilled with the construction of a wall of circumvallation...

No, the most natural reading for the phrase "her children" is in the same sense in which 1 John 2:12, 2:18 and 3:18 uses that term. "I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake." "Little children, it is the last hour..." "My little children, let...

No, I am not incorrect that "Lucifer" was referred to as a "MAN" in Isaiah 14:16. "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, 'Is this THE MAN that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms:" When this last king of Babylon (Belshazzar / aka Lucifer)...
