    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    It seems you've dodged the question, so I'll answer it for you: No - my sermons, however the Holy Spirit guides my thinking when composing them, are not to be esteemed as on par with Scripture.

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    God warned Israel the consequences of rebellion - "the kingdom of God shall be taken from you" - and taken from them it was. Not Romans 11 nor Zechariah 14 are promises of a national restoration of Israel: the one is the mere promise that God will save individual "natural branches" equally and...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h2852/kjv/wlc/0-1/ חָתַךְ châthak, khaw-thak'; a primitive root; properly, to cut off, i.e. (figuratively) to decree:—determine. You really gonna argue with Strong - or Gesenius, one of the greatest Hebraist minds ever? The word means "cut off" - the 70...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    None of that happened when Rome - the Fourth Beast out of which arose the Ten Horns - fell down. No serious prophecy student denies the fact that the kingdoms in the prophecies of Daniel always rise immediately as the previous kingdom falls which is true of the Ten Horns which stood after the...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    Does the text say "when the horn person will be broken" shall be for many days, as you claim? It says "and the VISION of the evening and the morning...shall be for many days" aka "the distant future". Did Daniel see anything in the "VISION" about the horn being broken? NO! The vision contains...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    The only covenant God has today is with the "Israel of God" - the church. Prophecy is conditional, as Jonah shows us. The promises - including those in Zechariah 14 - that were for ancient Israel now pertain to the "Israel of God" aka the church, as Romans 15:8 KJV and 2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV say.

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    No, he doesn't fit the description of the Little Horn. Among the many reasons why he doesn't is this: the Little Horn is prophesied to grow "exceeding great" toward the South aka "Egypt". Truth is, he and his entire army got run out of Egypt by a Roman ambassador and his small security...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Means "grow" - which AE IV most certain did not toward the South, right or wrong? So what? I have a desire to be the world's first trillionaire - does that make me "exceed beyond great"? I spit facts, bro. Yes, because consistent eschatological interpretation keeps us on track, which is why...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    You didn't. Let's recap: I asked you if the kingdoms of Cassander, Ptolemy, Lysimachus, and Seleucid ended with their deaths. Since you answering "no" would be an admission by you that your claim "the latter time of the kingdom" must pertain only to the lifespans of these four men is a purely...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    Rather, for the "distant future" - is a mere 6 years "the distant future"? Since the 70 Weeks are used to explain the 2300 Days and are "cut off" from something - even a blind man can see that what the 70 are "cut off" from is the 2300 Days - making the "day/year" principle apply to both...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    The testimony of Scripture concerning God's character demands we understand that the verse "...shall send them strong delusion" refers to God allowing delusion...removing His hand of protection from it...granting death to those who desire that more than righteousness.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    "To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them". - Isaiah 8:20 KJV Since "many" will argue "have we not prophesied/cast out demons/done great wonders in Thy name" before taking a swim in Fire Lake, one need to interact with...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Not everyone is called to be a "prophet" - the Holy Spirit doles out Holy Spirit gifts "severally" not corporately. As for the "chills in church" - people get euphoric at football games or Beyonce concerts, but God is in none of it.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Proverbs 6:23 KJV For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Psalms 19:8 KJV The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. That's why Isaiah says there's no light in them that speak contrary to the "law and the testimony".

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    It's the Biblical criteria for what happens when a prophet goes into vision, which is found "in the mouth of two witnesses" - in Numbers and Daniel - maybe elsewhere, too. The wording in Numbers suggests it's a given that these are experienced by all who go into vision, while the depth of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    As a Christian who preaches church sermons from time to time, I always ask God to guide me by His Spirit when I sit down to think of a topic and then develop it for presentation. Do you think those sermons should be esteemed as equal to the writings of Isaiah, Paul, and John? Why not?

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    We need to remember that the NT "Israel of God" is they who "walk by this rule" of the "new creature in Christ Jesus". Abraham's seed are those who "be Christ's" or "belong to Christ". They are Jews of inward circumcision, not outward ;)

    The Prophetic Timeline: Why Jesuit Futurists/Jesuit Preterists Ignore It

    Terms like "Jesuit Futurism" accurately describe the origin of Futurism, as does the term "Protestant Historicism" accurately describes the origin of Historicism. Who but Jesuit sympathizers could ever be pleased with the notion that Jesuit eschatological ideas are the most trustworthy when the...
