One small point that probably needs to be made is that when the OT prophets spoke of "forever" it just meant a very long time (such as 1,000 years, for example). It is much the same way among certain English speakers (children) who will often say things like, "Christmas is taking forever to...

In the light of modern language scholarship (which relies on many archeological discoveries of the 20th century and beyond) there is no particular benefit from the Textus Receptus or the Westcott-Hort version. Really, thinking that the "Textus Receptus" is the most authentic is just not the...

I checked the Greek text on Bible Hub. All but one of the translations (including the NASB--which is considered the most accurate Greek to English translation) said "the". I then checked the Greek text and all but the KJV had "the" (Gr. tes) Since nearly all of the Book of Revelation deals...

I checked the Greek text on 7:14 and "the" (tes) is definitely used in the original. Those mortals who are "blameless" before God's law will be saved during the Millennium, in a return to the strict observance of and adherence to the law of God--including worship at the Temple (they will also...

God IS impartial when it comes to salvation--yes--He is NOT a "respecter of persons" in that sense (in the ancient world, unrighteous judges were said to be "respecter(s) of persons" -- i.e. they showed partiality to those who were wealthy or politically well-connected). God accepts ALL who...

Yes, praise God, we are citizens of heaven. This world is passing away.

I think that "mammon" is a spirit of acquisitiveness, of greed and covetousness. We think of it now as the desire for money (and the things it will buy). But the spirit of "mammon" has apparently always plagued humanity from the time of the Fall. In the Garden, as a preliminary, Satan first...

We were ALL of the spirit of antichrist before we came to the Lord Jesus in repentance and faith (including you and me). In terms of salvation, no, He is not. He accepts those who embrace His Son, in repentance and faith, as I said before. But, that does not stop Him from seeing Israel as...

There is no way that Jesus' first visitation fulfilled Zechariah, chapters 12 through 14. Zechariah, chapter 12 is speaking of God Himself coming against the nations which have come against Judah/Jerusalem. This harmonizes with the Ezekiel 38 war to come. When has there ever been such a war...

Is it necessary to insult those with whom you disagree? Yes, He did and yes, I remember that He did. He came to bring the spiritual kingdom in His first visitation. He will come to judge and then cover the earth with His righteous rule in His second visitation. Listening to so-called...

And He will--He promised to do so. You read the Zechariah quote, right? For the Tribe of Joseph particularly, there are colonies throughout the Middle East, who claim they are descended from Ephraim and/or Manasseh. They are in the process of genetic testing by the Israeli authorities so that...

Zechariah 10:6-9---> " I will strengthen the house of Judah and deliver the house of Joseph [Judah and "Joseph" represents Israel]. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them...

Zechariah says that the feet of the Messiah will touch the Mount of Olives and the ground will split in two. There is no mention of fire. I agree that just before the Final Judgment (after the Millennium) He will send fire from heaven to burn up all His enemies who are surrounding Jerusalem.

I would say a firm no to hating any human being. Hating someone is like drinking poison and hoping that the hated person dies. But hating the evil deeds is aligning ourselves with God in hating what He says He detests. He says He hates the shedding of innocent blood--that is why I hate...

The thing is, the joke will be on those seeking Satan's version of immortality. We are rapidly headed toward a point of no return because of genetic entropy. God does not intend for sinful mortal man to live in a sinful world forever. The scientists are wasting their time. Geneticist, John...

Yes--they will undoubtedly be using it for some purpose. Just like the seed vaults. What are they preparing?

If you are comparing the Bride of Christ to the hypocrites among Jesus' enemies, you have said something that you will ultimately regret.

Fortunately, God has a higher and less "flexible" standard. He judges all by His standard--not that of men. The law in several states has decided it is just dandy to kill infants moments before natural birth. That is murder of the innocent--do you not think God will judge that? I hate what...

At first, that is how it will be sold--as a way to catch criminals. Eventually, it will be used to hunt down those who convert to Christ after the Rapture of the Church.

That's because Antichrist and the Ten Kings hate ALL religions (false religions or the true worship of God). Antichrist and the Satanic Kings will want no rivals to the worship of the "Beast" and Satan himself. They will destroy the Whore of Babylon (in my opinion, "she" represents all false...
