    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Okay, I get what you are saying. But the "taking away" that you are speaking of in general, is not the taking away spoke of by Paul which I was referring to. The taking away spoken of by Paul, is in accord with what God did at the tower of Babel by confusing all language in all the world. It is...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    I mentioned Matthew 13:52 because you seemed to think that I could know all things as if I were present throughout all history or had access to every word from God. My point was, that is not how prophecy works...that prophets only get their piece of the puzzle. Even so, if something unrelated to...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Thanks Bob, I find that sort of thing amazing. Interestingly enough, there are many ways people explain the origins of the universe. God gave us one, and so has science--well maybe more than one, or rather one updated from time to time. But the real answer of origins is...God, in whom, and by...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Okay, so now that we have gotten so far off track, where are we? You were saying something about "a time of peace and how long will it last."

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Okay, good. I was starting with groups...as did Paul, but you are correct, all are ultimately included.

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Light is definitely of great importance. It is in fact one of the elements of creating matter, along with energy which is the power of God. Thus, the appearing as if by form. Space (of space, time, and matter) is different. With the dividing of days "the evening" (darkness) and the morning"...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    You are known (as we all are) by your fruit. I am the author of "this thread" and will answer how I see fit: No--but the scriptures say more--and so do I.

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Do you not yet understand that "in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die", means before God--in the flesh we are as stillborn?

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    And it is true--are old man is to be dead to us--even if God has use of it for the time remaining.

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    You ask a question and then answer for your own hearing. Obviously, you intend to answer all your own questions. As for believing me, don't bother. But if you believe the scriptures, you would believe that the complete mystery of God was to be sealed and not revealed until just before the end...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Do not despair. You stand with less between you and the kingdom than many here. As for the voice of many opinions, yes, each expresses according to but a taste. But what do the scriptures say-- to whom is it given that "for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    The problem is, you have not made yourself clear. And every time you do that, your fruit of bitterness shows. But, no, that is not how prophecy works, but rather, "every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    There is indeed a residual confusion of these matters. In brief (not to repeat the great amount of confusion), the "veil" specifically refers to the blindness of the house of Israel and not the church, for it was a "veil" that constricted the full radiance of God remaining on Moses' face after...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    I was simply trying to determine which passage you were referring to. So, help me understand your point. It would seem that you are counting 4,000 years from Abraham to 1948. Is that it?

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    No, no one needs that. But, then again, that does not take away the fact that we don't know what we don't know, which even the history of God's people (of whom you are one) attest to it. And it doesn't help one to be a false witness and an accuser.

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Very true, and thus, the biblical counsel is that the words are rather spirit and must be spiritually discerned. What purpose then does the written word serve, if it is not literal and not plain language that one cannot otherwise understand? It is like the flesh, an image darkly but appearing...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    These are indeed thought provoking passages, for they tell of making manifest that which in God's reality, is "without form and void."

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Good! I am curious where you get the "4,000 years", as it was more like 400. Or are you referring to the times between the first Adam and the Last? Because, technically, they are all included in the promise handed down to Abraham. As for "the fig tree budding", the budding of the Branch began...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Oh, if you only knew how you are setting your self up! Apparently, you have no mind for the things of God actually being greater than you imagine. How sad for you.
