Well, I see it a little differently. At least there were many folks that were eagerly anticipating going to be with the Lord, unlike all those that are doing all they can to delay being with the Lord. Kinda exhibits the condition of each group's relationship with God. Another, at least for...

While the HS does use idioms, allegories, puns, etc.... valid grammatical devices, i don't take many concepts as allegorical unless the context suggests that. I am more into the "if the passage makes sense, then seek no other sense" kind of view. Basic cross referencing between passages that...

All true, to a point. That the Torah has been fulfilled in Messiah is true.... to those that place their trust in Him. We are free of the penalty of the Mosaic Law, Torah, but we are under the Law of the Spirit if we are in Messiah. So we are under the Law, so to speak. Romans 7:4 (NKJV...

Indeed! According to tradition, God spoke the Ten Commandments in the all the known languages of the earth at that time. That is corresponds to Shavuot (Pentacost) is profound. On that day, those in the room when the Holy Spirit came upon them all spoke in the various languages of those...

I generally held that Nicolaitans was rule over the people, or establlshed clergy. The roots of that word suggest rule over or submission of the laity or congregants. While it was established that there are definite positions within the church (pastors, elders, etc) there is nothing that...

That is true, in general. But the issue that I addressed was regarding the "last trumpet" that Paul mentioned. it is hubris to assume that Paul was referring to any trumpets in Revelation, because those details are not laid out specifically in the rest of scripture. Events that correspond to...

I for one will not change anything regarding posting if this event does not take place. Not sure why it would. Sure, I hope that the removal is at this Yom Teruah, but I am not selling my house, shutting down my business, not paying my quarterly estimated taxes, closing my bank accounts, etc...

It gets wilder than that. It has been taught since the days before Yeshua's first coming, that the gates of heaven are opened at Yom Teruah (feast of trumpets) and closed at Yom Kippur. There are 3 groups of people in view during this time.... the righteous, the wicked, and the average which...

I know I might be showing my age with this comment, but I see Revelation as like an overlay film placed on an overhead projector like we had in school back in the day. One layer at a time, each layer adding more clarity to the overall picture. Like you stated, different aspects from differing...

You say that as if you are a prophet with a direct pipeline to the Almighty. That you have it directly from God Himself that all aspects of a removal of the righteous is false. Ezekiel wasn't even remotely talking about this issue. The verse could be applied to anyone, even you, in the way...

There are folks who are well versed in Church history and specifically how the cannon was established. We do know that Constantine in 325 AD at the Council of Nicea had something like 50 copies of the NT done up that included all the books we have now. it was done not for establishing the...

That is outside my pay grade. LOL I have not really taken the time to dig into that.

The commandments that Yeshua gave are all centered around Love. When asked to summarize the Torah, He stated Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And love you neighbor as yourself. He elaborated later.. John 13:34-35 (NKJV) A new commandment I give to you...

Well, in an allegorical sense it might have seemed that way. But the first verse of the Revelation says it pretty clear.... it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which the father gave Him. That is the starting point. I tend to agree with some others that Revelation is the "Grand Central...

ScottA hit it pretty close. I have generally held that "works" James was talking about was more associated with works of the spirit, like Paul.... Galatians 5:19-23 (NKJV) Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery...

LOL! Yeah, good point.

Yeah, I did that already. Just can't figure out the discrepancy.

Just took at look at 9/13/24 on my trusty Hebrew calendar converter and that day falls on Elul 10, which is 20 days before Yom Teruah and 30 days before Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement. Actually, Yom Kippur does not occur till 10/12/24. One of these is wrong. But torahcalendar.com is neat to...

So you are saying that the Father then gave the insight to Paul before He gave it to Messiah? Messiah, upon getting the information from the Father, then gave it to an angel who then gave it to John. Paul rates higher, by getting the information before Messiah as you are implying, than God's...

Well, Jeremiah got the same response you are giving to the OP. Like I stated, it could be argued effectively that it is only doom and gloom to those who have a obsessive love affair with the world. like with your television, you are always free to turn the channel!
