    The Twelve Tribes of Israel

    JohnS, I fully agree with you, the House of Israel today is the Western, Christian nations. However, as we can see by just looking around, there has been a serious falling away from the faith. Church's are empty, crime and all kinds of sins are rife. We are told what God intends to do about it...

    The Twelve Tribes of Israel

    Reuben: from Leah, The Lord has seen my humiliation, but now my husband will love me. Genesis 29:32-35 Simeon: from Leah, The Lord, hearing that I am unloved, has given me this son also. Levi: from Leah, My husband will love and keep me, because I have borne him three sons. Judah: from Leah, Now...

    Kingdom of Antichrist ?

    Eric, you are mixing up several separate prophetic events. The Isaiah 30:25-26 relates to the Sixth Seal. That will be a Coronal Mass Ejection, that will cause the sky to roll up like a scroll, paralleled in 2 Peter 3:7 & 10 and Isaiah 34:4 A CME will also make the moon shine blood red. I see...

    Pay heed, you distant peoples

    Your sins are as scarlet- they may yet be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:2, 16-21 Give ear, you heavens and earth - for it is the Lord who speaks; I reared children, but they have rebelled against Me. Now, put away your evil deeds, learn to do good, pursue justice and protect the oppressed. Come...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Jack, it would be nice if you didn't try to push your preterist rubbish here. To say we are now in the Messianic Age, is totally unsupportable with scripture. If you believe the Bible, you should believe what it says and to make prophesies fit past events, requires much messing around with...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Thanks Retrobyter, you are a breath of fresh air! Yes Rachel was Jacobs second wife, but my point is: she is used in Bible prophecy as the spiritual mother of Israel. It is interesting that Ramah is today the city of Ramallah, not far north of Jerusalem. I have been there, it is a Palestinian...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    I can see that the articles I post are too much for some to comprehend. What say we take one verse from Isaiah 26:15 Lord, You have enlarged the nation and won honour for Yourself. You have extended all the borders of the Land. Check out: Micah 7:11-12, Ezekiel 36:8-12, Ezekiel 37:21-22, Hosea...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    What's the argument about 2 Thess 2:10-12? It is something that was the case when it was written and is still the case today. That is the great problem today, people believing what is false and so God puts them under a delusion. Isaiah 29:9-12 puts it clearly; if you confuse yourself, you will...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Jack, with the Bible prophesies, what you and all those who spriitualize or say its already happened, [preterists] should know, is basically, you are calling God a liar. He gave His prophets information in a literal way. Of course many allegories, metaphors and types were used because there...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Jack, maybe you think you won't be around when Jesus Returns, or you are in denial that anything uncomfortable may happen. Approximately a third of the Bible is prophecy, some literally fulfilled at the first advent of Jesus and other events. Why should not the rest be likewise? Your 2 Thess.2:4...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Old Jack, we can spiritualize the 'temple' in this present dispensation. But as many prophesies tell us, there will be a physical third Temple built for the Shekinah Glory of God to come into. Ezekiel 43:4 Haggai 2:6-9 says first will come a great 'shaking' and then the 'treasure of the...

    The Redemption of the Nazarenes

    Jeremiah 30:23-24 See what a scorching wind has gone out from the Lord, a sweeping whirlwind, coming down onto the heads of the wicked. The Lord’s anger will not be turned aside, it will accomplish His purposes. In days to come, you will understand. Deut. 29:4, Isaiah 35:5, Isaiah 48:6-8...

    Pay heed, you distant peoples

    All what you say is correct and scriptural. But what most don't realize, is the Northern ten tribes of the House of Israel are still scattered among the nations. To say they have already rejoined with Judah is frankly ridiculous as what will happen when they do, Ezekiel 37:20-27, plus the great...

    Pay heed, you distant peoples

    In order for God to fulfil His unconditional promises to the Patriarchs, He must restore the true descendants of Jacob. However they will be judged and those who revolt and rebel will not go back to the holy Land. Ezekiel 20:34-38 The great chapter of Ezekiel 37, tells of the rejoining of Judah...

    Pay heed, you distant peoples

    No Jack, the Bible is clear- physical righteous Israel will go back to their heritage as so many prophesies tell us. Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 62:1-5, Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31, Hosea 14:4-7, Joel 2:21-27, Amos 9:13-15, Micah 7:11-12, Nahum 2:1, Zephaniah 3:20, Zechariah 8:1-8 and many others that...

    Pay heed, you distant peoples

    Isaiah 49:1-13 Listen to Me, you coasts and islands, pay heed, you peoples far distant. The Lord called and named me [Isaiah = the Lord has saved] before I was born. He made me His spokesman. My reward is to be with God. The Lord said: Israel are My servants, through whom I shall win glory. My...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Floyd, I agree with Jack, not that your take on the Revelation events is entirely wrong, but that it is not good to post lengthy chapters of a published book on a forum. The Vial punishments will happen in the latter part of the Seventieth Week, but the OP of this thread is 'How close is that...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Well Jack, I totally disagree with spiritualizing the Prophetic Word if a literal explanation is possible. By the style of the prophesies, it doesn't seem like a spiritual interpretation is intended, this must come from those who deny what God has planned for His creation. Sure, in this present...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Revelation 7:14...they are those who have passed through the great ordeal.... Revised English Bible [1989 Oxford edition] By saying that refers to the Great Tribulation of the Trumpets and bowls, which starts when the AC places his image in the new Temple, you are causing confusion and error...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Floyd, your quote above is obviously taken from a commentary. You should note your source, but anyway why do you believe what they say when 'they do not know what they are talking about or understand the subjects they so dogmatically write on'. 1 Timothy 1:7 Daniel 12:9 tells us the Prophetic...
