Since you tend to take all these things literally, maybe Zachariah 14:16 is talking about what happens after an unbeliever dies. The account of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 has the rich man asking for his tongue to be cooled with a drop of water. In Zachariah 14:17 there is no rain unless...

So why do they ask a question that they already know the answer to at the fifth seal? Why would that make sense?

Ok, then the little season that the fifth seal martyrs have to wait for is definitely not a 2,000 year period, right? If so then the obvious problem is why would anyone now, be asking the Revelation 6:10 question of “how long”. Both you and I know the answer is to rest a little season, no need...

Would you agree that those under the altar at the fifth seal in Revelation 6:9-11 are asking how long till Jerusalem stops killing the prophets?

Yes, it was the Jews that beat and killed the prophets, or as Jesus says in Matthew 23:37 Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets.

It may seem improbable to you that it was only a few days but it doesn’t disprove it either. There is enough evidence that it remains a possibility. Who do you think the ten servants are? Why would only ten people be given a Mina and no one else?

Well, I’ll start with when the kingdom is given to Christ. I have to speculate some on this so I’m not going to pound the table and say I’m right and everyone else is wrong, but here is what I think. In Daniel 7:13-14 the Son of man is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. In Ephesians 1:20-21...

No, the nobleman said out of thine own mouth will I judge thee. In other words, since you knew I was austere (you judged me as austere), then you should’ve at least put the money in the bank but you didn’t even do that. Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with...

You are assuming the wicked servant told the truth.

I can really appreciate you taking the time to word your response in the right way. I often have to think about things, sometimes for several days before I can put down in words what I want to. Take your time on this, I always have a lot to do on Saturday evening and Sundays. Thanks for the...

I see the covenant as a marriage contract, even when Israel didn’t perform their obligations to that covenant/contract it still meant that they were married. Hosea is an example of how Israel was still married despite being adulterous. I’m not of the opinion that God divorced Israel and...

Sure, I really think the jubilee cycles started with creation but there is very little to nothing said about dates going that far back. If we start with Jacob’s ladder and the promises made in Genesis 28:10-15 that puts the first GJ cycle starting in 1927 BC. That cycle ends in 1437 BC, 70...

Yes, I have that and it is very well done. Christian Gedge has the great jubilee cycle starting with Jacob in Genesis 28:10-15 and there are no gaps in that cycle. Unfortunately Christian Gedge is no longer with us, I’m sure he would be able to quickly dispel the gap theory as he was well...

Ok, I would like to take a closer look at the GJ cycle and why I don’t think there has been any gaps in that cycle. If we start with the 15th day of Abib 1444 BC (you might disagree with this exact date) as a jubilee year when Israel left Egypt then we can count down all the jubilee years, we...

I agree with looking at the jubilee cycle and seeing the importance of the 490 year cycle but when you place a gap in the cycle that’s where I see issues. If the clock stopped then the Genesis 1:14 ordinance of the sun and moon being used for seasons, days, and years is not being followed which...

I can see you are saying that the times of the Jews are the times or time span that God focuses on the Jews and the times of the Gentiles is when the Gentiles are in focus, and the focus has to do with the plan of salvation. I don’t think there can be any definitive explanation of what the...

I can really appreciate having a conversation where we can express differences without having to think it’s some kind of debate where there has to be a winner and a loser, and I think we can do that here. Let me think about what you said and I’ll respond tomorrow, I have a few things I need...

When the beast kingdoms in Daniel begin their reign, or really when Babylon captivity of the Jews occurred is when the times of the Gentiles started. The times of the Jews ended with the captivity. When the kingdom of God began the times of the Gentiles ended. Once Christ was the King He never...

I do disagree about the time of the Gentiles but there probably aren’t two people who agree on everything. I enjoy examining the views of others. I can see this is a well thought out commentary.

Hey CTK, here’s something that might be linked to what your looking at happening prior to the cross. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist He received the Holy Spirit. When Jesus died on the cross He asked why hast thou forsaken me. I would say the Holy Spirit left Jesus at some point...
