Really? Is a highly motivated desire for the Lord's coming an idol? Yeshua Himself had that same desire as stated in John 17:24. He expressed that desire to the Father. While the OP's zeal for this might seem to some as extreme, I can think of nothing else more worthy of being extreme over...

Many assume the wailing wall was part of the original Solomon and later Herod's temple. I have become convinced it is further away. Eliminates all the conflicts that would occur with placing a temple on the same area as the Dome of the Rock. That complex was the Roman garrison in Jerusalem...

How in the heck can people try to argue about what scripture says when they can't even understand basic reading comprehension? Daniel didn't know about the 7 trumpets either. Daniel never made mention of the 7 trumpets. Paul never made mention of the 7 trumpets, just a last trumpet. And...

Except America experienced the largest solar flare in history back in the late 1800's, that would have fried all the electronics we have today, and hardly anyone back then noticed it. It fried basic telegraph lines and rudimentary power lines that were starting to be built in cities on East...

I am pretty sure from his post he said EMP pulse. No that doesn't mean crispy. Fact is, if one was off the grid, they wouldn't even notice it. Now, electronics, automobile computers, the power line grid.... yeah, they will be crispy. Given all that we do today is done via electronics, we...

Paul had no idea about the 7 trumpets of Revelation, so could not have been referring to them. The revelation of the 7 trumpets was not given to Paul. Revelation 1:1 (NKJV) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent...

Well, I will admit that a rapture, on the surface, seems to be a preposterous idea. But then, so is quantum physics. Yet, just like quantum physics, that doesn't mean it isn't true.

When you throw in a psychotic super cherub (Satan) into the mix, that technology may well be closer than many realize. When evil is allowed to run full steam ahead during the tribulation period, it would be very myopic to assume that a uniformitarianism model will still be the norm. I have...

Many do, but the operative word of the OP is "believe". When I went to college, I "parroted" the words of some of my professors in taking tests to get past the course. But that doesn't mean I believed them. Likewise, many will "parrot" certain buzz words and the latest fad du jour to keep...

In several passages of the OT. See above post for one of them.

I worry sometimes about phrases put out like "rightly divide His word" since many will use that to shut down legitimate debate by insinuating they are dividing the word correctly and everyone else isn't. As if they have a personal pipeline to God's throne and speak for Him. Not saying you are...

Except "twinkling of an eye" is an idiom for Rosh Hashanah / Feast of Trumpets also. Right along with "last trump" being an idiom. Twinkling of an eye is when the last trump of the festival is blown.... when the last sliver of the setting sun on the 2nd day of the festival is seen. That last...

That is true. The First Trump is an idiom for Pentacost / Feast of Weeks. The Last Trump, even during Paul's time, was an idiom for the Feast of Trumpets / Rosh Hashanah. The Great trumpet is an idiom for Day of Atonement / Yom Kippur. There are 7 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur...

Excellent post. Just add Revelation 2:26-27 to it that shows those who overcome also rule with a rod of iron. That supports the idea that the child in 12:5 is the church. Edit: My bad. You did show it.

Where would you place WW I and WW II. How about the crusades? What of the Muslim invasion of Europe, right up to Vienna, Austria in one area, significant portions of Italy, all of the Iberian peninsula, and was finally stopped at Tours, France by Charles Martel? Yet still, Muslims still...

Well, I wouldn't necessarily trust Isaac Newton in the way you are implying, but he was a devout believer, credible, and wrote many commentaries on the scripture, which are still considered classics today in scholarly circles. So I would say he is at least equal to you on these ideas. Your...

the problem with that analysis is the first verse of chapter 4. The church letters had been laid out. They were letters indeed to physical churches individually, but also elements of each church were in all the churches. And many speculate, either correctly or incorrectly, that the 7 church...

I have found when I was in error theologically, it was usually because I didn't take the text literally enough. Should have followed more closely the example of Yeshua and how He took the scripture He quoted literally. I would contend that the world doesn't "end" for the believer when they...

Anybody who thinks the world is going to end September 23rd need to be taken in for a drug screen. The removal of the righteous, that is a legitimately debatable issue, and if that were to happen on the 23rd, the world is still not going to end for at least another 1000 years after that.

That text in Revelation says that a new Jerusalem comes down, but nothing about the Shamayim (heaven). Kind of playing fast and loose with the text, aren't you?
