Here are the two introduction narratives for chapters 2 and 3 of the book of Revelation commentary. The first is written as though it was written directly by God Himself, while the second, Introduction to chapters 2 and 3 are my introduction before discussing in detail all the individual verses...

Thank you for your response. If you do not mind, I would like to propose a very different interpretations: I have spent much time trying to understand these verses in Daniel and I came away with my belief that no one has found the correct interpretations... And as I mentioned earlier, there is...

Was the Temple the ceremonial services, the sacrifices, the priestly functions, and even the first 4 of the 7 festivals fulfilled by the Messiah at His first coming? They were a shadown / type of the coming Messiah who would fulfill them all. He became our sacrificial Lamb of God, the High...

Part 2 If there any group or denomination that even comes close to interrpeting Daniel correctly (IMO) it is definitely the folks at SDA. They have put an enormous amount of time and energy taking Daniel apart. But even they went outside the borders, boundaties, restrictions and guidlines...

Part 1 You have certianly presented the SDA interpretations very well. There are a few comments I would like to make and ask that you might simply consider them... nothing more. A discussion about whether Daniel is suppose to be viewed / interpreted in a preterist, futurist or historical...

I think we might have a good starting point since the “anti-Christ” identity is behind us in that it certainly represents any and all people who speak a different gospel thsn what Jesus spoke. That can and does point to millions or even billions of folks over the past 2000 years (and still...

Once you get passed the understanding that the term “anti-Christ,” used in only the 4 verses you identified, and that it is meant to convey ANY practice or belief that is different than those spoken if and practiced by Jesus, then you can begin to focus on the ONE person / entity that IS...

Ok and thank you. So, essentially there are two sets of versus that are being interpreted that Jesus was “active” after His death and before His resurrection” 1 Peter 3:19–20 “...by which also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient... in the days of...

If you do not mind, why do you say that? I don’t see that at all … I don’t think I read anywhere that Jesus went outside the grave until Hecwas resurrected… thanks.

I think you need some rest. And, we can each go our own way. Best wishes.

I responded because I saw the discussion included the “spirit” moving on after death- whether it was at the death of Jesus or a human. Your response to him also included a 3 part construction of man. And it mentioned that the spirit of Jesus went to the Father and then to hades…. It is fine...

24f-Bring in everlasting righteousness Part 2 God's plan of salvation, fulfilled through Jesus Christ, aims to reconcile humanity to Himself and restore the broken relationship caused by sin. Through faith in Christ, individuals are reconciled to God and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, who...

For what it is worth ... here is a cut out from the chapter 9 commentary on Daniel: 24f-Bring in everlasting righteousness Part 1 In Daniel 9:24, three types of sin are identified—transgression, sin, and iniquity—each reflecting the fallen condition of humanity since Adam. From the...

Does this mean we should use the word ZAO rather than EZESAN when referring to Kamala Harris? So confused!

Revelation 20:4 And καὶ (kai) Conjunction Strong's Greek 2532: And, even, also, namely. they came to life ἔζησαν (ezēsan) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural Strong's Greek 2198: To live, be alive. A primary verb; to live. and καὶ (kai) Conjunction Strong's Greek 2532: And...

Thanks, but I do not find the Greek word “ZAO” in these two verses but “EZESAN.” Pick this up again tomorrow.

The word ezesan is only found in 2 verses in the NT- 20:4 and 20:5 and it only applies to the physical first resurrection. It is related to zao but not used in these 2 verses— 1st resurrection!

Thank you very much for all of your comments and responses to this issue. I am sure I have addressed all the issues that have been presented to me with Scripture, reasoning and timing concerns. I believe the best think to do at this time is to appreciation the time and effort everyone has put...

20:4 they came to life ἔζησαν (ezēsan) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural Strong's Greek 2198: To live, be alive. A primary verb; to live. 20:5 come back to life ἔζησαν (ezēsan) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural Strong's Greek 2198: To live, be alive. A...

Once again, everything has been given regarding my interpretations on chapter 20... it has addressed all comments. But it has been a little exhausting and I need to move on to completing my commentary on Revelation..... almost done.
