    The Prophecies of Fourteen (14).

    Luke 13:32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ Luke 24:7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

    The Seventh Seal

    "Silence in heaven for about half an hour" refers rather to "a time, times, and half a time." All of which refers to the dividing of times, which is the dividing of the light from the darkness. "Silence" refers rather to a lack of time (as without time) wherein there is "the Beginning and the...

    The Prophecies of Fourteen (14).

    Indeed. I am not big on use of the original languages, but it seems that 14 is like 7 (being a whole number without fractions), but that may not be true in all cases where it is used. Perhaps someone else has some greater input to offer.

    Resurrection on earth

    They received it with Christ on the cross, as "the dead in Christ" of whom Christ was "the Last." It is for this reason that Paul clarified that "we by no means precede those who are asleep." Fulfilling Jesus's statement, saying, "But many who are first will be last, and the last first” as that...

    Resurrection on earth

    The days that were referred to were after the pattern of the seven days of creation, in which the last day was the 7th, the day of God's rest. The question--your question offered rather as a statement in the thread title, then becomes: When does the day of God's rest begin? But your title also...

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    Those given to Christ by the Father, who standing at the door and hearing His knocking, open the door and receive the promise of His coming in to them, and them in Him. Of whom it is also written by the personal testimony of Paul, that "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    He was just mocking that I said, Christ "came not to destroy but to fulfill" the commandments, then entered the rest of God, and we who are "in Christ" with Him (just as it is written).

    The Prophecies of Fourteen (14).

    The point is that the number fourteen (14) is established to have a pattern of significant meaning in the Old Testament...and then it shows up in the New Testament also, but with little regard...as if it meant nothing. You who search and swear by the scriptures, have you not dropped the ball?

    The Prophecies of Fourteen (14).

    But what did you go out to see?

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    Let's address your errors one at a time. I have not been speaking my "opinion" to you, nor is that a way that God reveals the truth. I can indeed show you--and perhaps already have, regarding the commandments of God from scripture. But it is not as you assume, not "replacing obedience." It is...

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    If the heavens and the earth are not new to you, it is because nothing has changed in you--as "the kingdom of God is within you."

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    That is correct. The common error and "delusion", however, is that the falling away did not begin with the fall, and the son of perdition does not include the sons of him who originally sinned "according to the working of Satan." Which is to say, "among those who perish", meaning all who "the...

    The Prophecies of Fourteen (14).

    Here are just a few: Genesis 31:41 Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times. Genesis 46:22 These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in...

    Scholars can be dangerous to our faith

    Where indeed?

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Yes, "different than normal"--by far. But again, each of those can be explained--not as perceived, but as "not" rather a sign of the end that is "not yet." As follows: 1 & 2) "Frequency" is not the point. Yet it is true, that with the increase of knowledge comes greater frequency. Again, that...

    Scholars can be dangerous to our faith

    You hit the nail on the head, for sure! It is and was, however, intentional...just as "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in"--and for the same reason. It was also foretold (to our shame) that even the return of Christ would not be when...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    That is certainly the perspective of most. But really...have not 'wars and rumors of wars", and "earthquakes in divers places" always been? Surely they have. Rhetorical question: Why then would you assume they are only limited to a time at the end of times? Alternatively, I submit that these...

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    You have defined ō·w·lām in regard to "everlasting contempt" incorrectly. Defining things the way the world defines them is the problem with what you have presented. That is not the gist of what is by definition, "not of this world." This is quite simple: The KJV translates Strong's H5769 in...

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    Speak for yourself--for that is not at all my testimony.

    Jesus prophesied that Sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return

    Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Hebrews 4:10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, “It is done...
