What resurrection do you think Hymenaeus and Philetus were referring to? Obviously if they were claiming the final physical resurrection of the dead had already taken place then people would’ve just looked at the graves and simply concluded they were wrong, yet they were able to overthrow the...

Do you think there is a “coming” that happens to each believer at the time they physically die?

Hey EB, when I look at the Greek on Matthew 23:39 the word “coming” <2064> is not future tense, it’s present tense. So it seems to me, that since Jesus has now ascended to heaven, from our vantage point it should be rendered as “Blessed is he that came in the name of the Lord”. I’m by no means...

Ok, so what if the Jews refuse to make the statement? Do you think the Jews don’t have free will and they will be forced to make the statement?

Yes, I absolutely agree God is in control but if Jesus can’t return until the Jews make the Luke 13:35 statement then the Jews do indeed have some kind of say in when Jesus returns. I think Earburner has the correct interpretation on this, I don’t think the Jews can prevent Jesus from coming by...

Do you think Jesus’s return is contingent on the Jews saying blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord? In other words the Jews control when Jesus returns, and as long as they never say “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” Jesus can’t return.

I think one of the major differences people have on New Jerusalem is whether it represents the Church or not. I’m in the camp that it doesn’t represent the Church. In Revelation 22:9 John is shown the bride, Lambs wife, which is New Jerusalem. This equates the bride as New Jerusalem, so your...

In the parable of the minas there are ten servants, one servant gets ten cities and another servant gets five cities. It doesn’t say if the servant that initially got the single pound would’ve gotten a city or not but it’s implied. It’s safe to say that out of ten servants there are at least 23...

In Luke 19:11-26 is the parable of the Mina’s. In verse 17 the faithful servant receives authority over ten cities. This is man governing man and this takes place after the nobleman returns from receiving the kingdom. When will the faithful servant be governing the cities?

I agree, so “the end” can be referring to the cross. In fact we should be giving the events at the cross a high probability of being “the end” when we see that phrase.

Ok, so when does the end of sin take place? Doesn’t it happen when the 70th week is fulfilled? Jesus wouldn’t have to rule with a rod of iron unless sins were still being committed, so I guess that would put the end of the 70th week after the millennium and Satans little season if you’re Premill.

What verse are you getting that from?

The end of what? The end of sin which is in the Daniel 9:24 list?

I disagree, the abomination happened but the days of desolation were shortened which allowed the gospel to be preached in all the world before the end came (the desolation came). Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel...

Well, I don’t think the AOD occurred when Jesus died, I think it was the first sacrifice made after the veil was torn and the rocks rent. The disciples didn’t flee when they saw the AOD because they understood the book of Daniel (whoso readeth, let him understand) and they knew the days would...

I can’t argue against both 1260 and 1290 being 3.5 years. I realize if you have a 30 day month that an extra month or days have to be added somewhere to maintain accuracy. However I don’t necessarily think Daniel 12:11 should be viewed in that light, so I’ll leave it as something that is a...

I agree with you on most of the things you said. I think I saw you make a post elsewhere that you see the AOD as Jesus becoming sin for us. Personally I think the AOD was the first sacrifice made after the veil was torn. If we put that difference aside and agree on the timing of the AOD, then a...

I agree with most of your post. I agree those under the altar at the fifth seal are OC believers who believed in the promise. I think the 144,000 were those resurrected in Matthew 27:52-53 although I can’t argue against the 144,000 being symbolic of the whole OC Israel. Here’s where I differ, I...

Here is a list I made of the things that I see that connects JtB to the two witnesses. Matthew 11:14 JtB is called Elias but in John 1:21 JtB answers “no” when asked if he is Elias. In some kind of way JtB is a single person that represents 2 people, himself and Elijah. Revelation 11:3 they...

I agree His baptism was a significant event and I don’t have an issue with that being declared as the start of His ministry, for me it does remain a possibility. You brought up the point that John the Baptist must decrease, which is something I never really took a close look at. In Matthew...
