    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    For what it is worth.... this is a cut out of the commentary on Revelation chapter11 - still in progess....All symbolic. If the 144,000 serve as the last earthly messengers of God’s truth, then they complete the mission of spreading the Gospel in the face of worldwide opposition. By looking...

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    For what it is worth.... 1. The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection (the righteous dead) The dead in Christ will rise first, and those who are alive in the faith will be caught up together with them. Key verses: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord himself shall descend...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    For what it is worth... The AOD represents the rejection and crucifixion of our Messiah by His people. This would, of course, have many consequences: 1) From a phyical or literal way, the Temple would no longer serve to house the presence of God. It had fulfilled its mission in pointing...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    (John 16:5–16) 15If you love Me, you will keepe My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocatef to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with...

    Would you like to remind me what is the comment / interpretation I mentioned that you see differently? We can briefly discuss it.... Thanks.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    I think I see what you are saying. But the old covenant was comprised of three sections. We have the 10 commandments - which is the moral law of God. We have the religious laws which I believe might be the 603 laws of the 613, and finally, we have the ceremonial laws such as the animal...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Not to be arguementative at all, but perhaps i am not understanding what you might mean regarding the old covenant. If I were to use the definition of trhe Old Covenant as meaning the 10 commandments only, then I would have to say that it is quite still valid. If not, then which of the 10 have...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    If you do not mind, the most important interpretation within these verses that speak of the AOD is that it represents God’s spiritual desolation that would come upon His people for the next 2000 years (times of the Gentiles) as a direct result of their rejection and crucifixion of their Messiah...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Well, thanks for the response but to be candid, it was just too much to follow. If you would like, take one issue with one of my comments and tell me how you interpret it. One at a time and we can discuss.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Part 3 of 3 the "abomination that causes desolation" In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is portrayed as the Suffering Servant, the one who came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Unlike Matthew, which presents Jesus as the Messianic King and High Priest...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Part 2 of 3 the "abomination that causes desolation" In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus is presented as the Messianic King and High Priest, fulfilling the Jewish prophecies and establishing the long-awaited kingdom of God. Written primarily for a Jewish audience, Matthew carefully links Jesus to the...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    For what it is worth, here is a cut out of the discussion in the commentary on Daniel for the AOD: It obviously takes a completely different approach on the definition of the "AOD" and speaks to the 3 verses in the Gospels that refer to Daniel.... Part 1 of 3 the "abomination that causes...

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    Thanks for your response. I would like to request that you try and interpret these and most of Daniel in a non-historical manner. God has called out these 4 and only 4 kingdoms out of the sea in chapter 2. These will be the only kingdoms He will establish in His plan of salvation where He will...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    If you do not mind, and although I have not read the latest pages within this topic, I would like to suggest or offer one prophecy that I believe must take place .... soon! It relates to the 70 weeks of years prophecy in Daniel 9. The total prophecy is for 490 literal years and it began in 457...

    You answered them? I think we can call it a day.

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    Unless you can answer these questions…. God has given us His prophecies in Daniel to read, study and interpret so we can understand His plan of salvation for all mankind. These verses are not easy to interpret. I can assure you there is absolutely no consensus among our scholars, academics...

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    Well, it appears you definitely have an answer to some of the elements mentioned in the the book of Daniel. But to truly answer or understand Daniel you must be able to interpret these verses (and these are just a few of the important verses in Daniel that will require you to address. Would you...

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    We agree the little horn is the papacy. But we don’t on the 10 horns. The 10 horns came up out of pagan Rome BEFORE the little horn surfaced. That is because the little horn came out of the church. Look at 7:11, this is when pagan Rome was slain and within 50 years, the little horn would sit...

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    Thank you for your response. I do understand that almost everyone looks at these 10 as nations, kingdoms or powers that come at the end of time, but I would ask that you might consider them in a spiritual way. Daniel is all about the restoration of His people back to Jerusalem and the greater...

Daniel 7: 25c–Then the saints shall be given into his hands until a time and times and half a time This chapter presents a thought-provoking interpretation—one that shifts the focus from...
