    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Wasn't me. It was Isaiah., Matthew, and Mark. Did you look up those verses? And I didn't say Jesus is Father Jehovah, I said the Son shares His Father's name, and is therefore God. KJV Isaiah 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Yeah, I get that. I guess that while an individual is in charge, he's the man, or the beast, or woman, as the case may be. I suppose in that sense if one was to believe the papacy is the Antichrist, it is reasonable to assume that whatever Pope is in charge, he's the Antichrist..."you are that...

    How can you see them except they be in the past?

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Except he won't. There is a group described in both Revelation 12 and 14 that are alive and very well at the second coming. "They who keep the Commandments of God and have the faith and testimony of Jesus". Elsewhere we are told the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Paul spoke of...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    There is a counter to this as I reminded everyone in post 10. We need to be consistent in our interpretations, and fully expect that God intended the symbols to be interpreted consistently. The angel Gabriel told Daniel what the beasts in Daniel 7 represented. They were empires. The horns were...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Why would you believe I would posit such a dumb idea? Of course there are 2 persons... The Father and His Son. No argument. I think though you should cleave to that and not turn it around and make the Son a created being. He was begotten. Not created as are the angels. Not adopted as are we...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    That is a very viable perspective. It depends where you place John at the time of the vision. If John is standing during the time of pagan Rome, then certainly, the 5 fallen and one is scenario is met if you start with Egypt and Assyria, both of whom were, like the others, enemies to God's...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Read what Jesus said about world events, in context with the timeline, then look to history. That's what I'm doing with this thread. I refuse to look at some random war somewhere, then go to some obscure text in the middle of Ezekiel and claim prophecy fulfilled. That's nonsense Bible study.

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    You are looking at events in the world, then fitting them into scripture. That isn't how prophetic study works. Do it the other way round. Study the prophecies, and then find the fulfilment in history or if it isn't in history or it doesn't meet all the criteria of the prophecy, it hasn't...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    The first step to understanding Revelation 17 is to believe what the angel was saying. It is the judgement of the great harlot. This harlot is riding a beast. The picture here is the ultimate final consummation of all the deceptions and growth of apostasy from the time of Eden to the present...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Sadly, deception is like an addiction to heroine. You deny you are deceived, therefore refuse to acknowledge anything that may enlighten you to the truth...even scripture itself. I believe you are bound because you fail to acknowledge the truth regarding the identity and character of Jesus. I'm...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Jacob earned his new name because he was humble, he confessed his sin, and he prevailed in his overnight skirmish with Jesus. He didn't give up. That name applies to anyone who reflects the same character as Jacob. He wasn't named Israel because he was a political entity or nation. KJV Romans...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    So soon we get futurist conjecture and arguments regarding major cataclysmic events that may or may not happen. The only place to discover what is going to take place tomorrow, is by comparing the prophetic scriptures with history. Picking out random prophecies and then guessing regarding their...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Just want to put this out there for everyone to understand. I don't agree with barely anyone here regarding the timing and the actual events and players in these last days. I do agree that there is no pretrib rapture. The inspired Psalmist said we are to be witnesses to the rise and fall of the...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    I'm not sure of your point. Yep, the Covid mandates have revealed how gullible we are and how willing we are to bow to fear. I live in Victoria Australia, who had the hardest lockdown of anywhere in the world. But what has that got to do with your rapture theory?

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    You are the one making assumptions about what I believe. In post 1244 you were asking me to prove things I've never claimed. And now you're asking me to back them up? Are you not listening? I am not a preterist. I do not believe all prophecy is in the distant past. I reject such teachings as...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Daniel said that Nebuchadnezzar lived as a wild animal "until seven times will pass over thee". KJV Daniel 4:32 32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Paradise is where the throne of God is. Where we will be. Spiritual Israel. KJV Revelation 2:7 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.... KJV...
