According to M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia (1891, Vol. IV, p. 122) comments: “In Isa. lxv, 17, a new heaven and a new earth signify a new government, new kingdom, new people.” In the Bible, “earth” does not always refer to our globe. For instance, Psalm 96:1 says literally: “Sing to...

"Heaven" and "earth," in this instant, is referring to the Jewish governing and religions system of things (heaven) and its wicked people (earth).

The Flood at Noah's time was literal while-it seems to me-the flood/water mentioned in Revelation are symbolic or analogies for people that are in opposition to God. Consider: Isaiah 30:20; Psalms 18:4; 32:5; 124:2-5; Revelation 17:1, 15

Thank you for your comment. I was not expecting such a passionate reply. The scriptures give no description of Jesus' physical appearance; consequently, how does one determine his likeness? Consider what a few verses say about image worship or what we admire with acts of reverence (praying...

The account leading up to and after this scripture-including other opinion/understandings-are not clear to me. To my understanding, "this generation" seem to refer to the people at that time and culminated at 70 AD when the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem.

How does one reconcile wearing a cross or any item of worship or that is held in reverence after considering only these few scriptures?-2 Kings 19:18; 2 Chronicles 32:19; Isaiah 37:19; Acts 19:24-25. Ask yourself this question: If a loved one was murdered by a club, pistol, knife and so forth...

The prophecy at Daniel 9:24-27 points to the appearance of the Messiah (Jesus Christ) at the start of the 70th “week” of years (Daniel 9:25) and his sacrificial death in the middle or “at the half” of the final week, thereby ending the validity of the sacrifices and gift offerings under the Law...

John’s vision, described at the beginning of Revelation Chapter 13, was symbolic of dominant world powers/governments “ascending out of the sea.” (Isaiah 57:20; Revelation 17:15) At John’s time of his vision, five were of the past (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece) one was present...

The differences in opinions, beliefs, doctrines, ideologies and so forth are not caused by God. They are manifested by imperfect human with the influence from Satan. The follow scriptures may help getting the sense of my point: Matthew 10:16; 13:3-23; 36:39-43; John 12:31; Acts 20:29; 2...

I feel that considering this verse alone would be problematic. It seems to me, however, that the reverse may also be applied. As a foundation, those intent on marriage are advised to marry “…only in the Lord.”-1 Corinthians 7:39. A “prudent wife” (spouse) is conditional on our acceptable...

In reference to your understanding that Mary did not have any other biological children is not supported. Consider these supporting scriptures: Matthew 12:46; 13:55, 56; Mark 3:31; Luke 8:19; John 2:12; Acts 1:14; 1 Corinthians 9:5; Galatians 1:19. The majority of Bible scholars accept the...
