    What was Jesus like as a child?

    Listened to 1:28 minutes and had to turn it off. Young Jesus may have shown his powers to his parents, but it would not be in God's plan to show them off among the people prior to his time. Word would get out, attention would be drawn to him - especially the king's. Remember Jesus first Miracle...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    No, they wouldn't receive an Islamic leader or a Pope - that is absurd. I do not adhere to this scenario that the Jews will receive the Antichrist as there Messiah - even though because if their blindness, they are against Christ. However we see them deny Christ, they do not nor have not...

    GOD's True Israel

    I've heard all that. How do you harmonize what you just stated with Revelation 7:4-8 which is likely right around the corner. You can't or you'll symbolize it to mean something that happened in the past or it really represents the church ... bla, bla, bla. Clue to when this will happen: When...

    The Third Woe

    That's what you think. Look at all that happens at the 7th trumpet (Rev. 10:7; 11:15-19) 1. Kingdoms of the world become our Lords 2. Praise and thanksgiving from elders 3. Wrath comes in the 7 Bowls released 4. Temple of God is opened in Heaven 5. Rewards are given 6. Dead are judged 7...

    The Third Woe

    Jesus is Lord and the context is His return, towards the end of the GT. I did make a typo. But if you agree that these verses are towards end of the GT, you must realize the beginning of the chapter leads up to that point a d the dead from that outcome will be buried during the first 7 months...

    The Third Woe

    I am an adherent of the Mid-Trib/Pre-wrath view. How does that work? You identified the last trumpet ( #7, in Rev. 11:15-19) where many events happen, when Jesus returns and we are raptured. Yes, Jesus possesses His Kingdom throughout the world, which means the A tichrist's/ Satan's reign IS...

    The Third Woe

    The scripture says nothing here about what you are claiming! >Ezek. 39:6 states clearly Jesus Second Coming when he destroys his enemies: "I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the Lord. >He comes, every eye sees Him, His...

    The Third Woe

    So you are saying that Gog's dead army who warred against Christ, comes before the GT? Disagree. These are all who He wars with when He comes close to the end of the GT (at the 7th Trumpet, which then releases the 7 bowls of wrath), Armageddon. Actually all the billions of unbelievers are...

    The Third Woe

    Right, technically 3.5 years is 1278 days. so it's an estimate. I'm just not an adherent to the 70th week ( which I think was already fulfilled). No Gap, just the angels literal, unbroken time frame for Christ's 1ST coming. God didn't change his mind because man did or didn't do something. Many...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Likely the Church will be raptured before this mark is enforced. Of course many who are on the fence about Christ will be left behind. Realizing they goofed, will repent and refuse the mark.

    The Third Woe

    I appreciate your attempts on this chart. However, there are two areas I disagree with (which may lead to more down the line). 1. The timeline of GT is clearly described in several places: 42 months, 1260 days, 1290 days, "time, times and 1/2 of time". It's 3.5 years. 2. The seven months of...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    One more ... John MacArthur generally interprets Job 14:12—"So a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep"—as a poetic expression of the finality of physical death. He presents it as part of Job's limited, earthly perspective...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    I understand that Job had a limited understanding of the afterlife, where the ghost goes. This passage is really expressing the absence of consciousness of the earthly existence. But in these passages, he delves into Hades: Job 10:21-22, The "land of darkness and deep shadow" is not a...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Yes, it is set apart for a purpose. We get the word holiday from Holy. It is a special day set apart. That's a pretty good way of putting it. Another word is imputed. But really super imposed is different. Imputed means to attribute, ascribe, or assign something to someone (e.g., "imputed...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    To begin, we need to define these terms. God is Holy (set apart), distinct from creation and absent of sin or evil. Holiness for us is being in Christ. God shares with us His attributes, love, justice, and power. We are in a sense, baptized into holiness. So His elect are made holy, separated...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    @Episkopos Holiness AND righteousness is imputed to us by Christ. Our spirits, once born again are pure, white as snow; so that if at any moment we died, we will be presented to the Father without blemish, white as snow. Our flesh is left behind riddled with sin; for "sin dwells in the members...

    GOD's True Israel

    Let's just end this ... your ignorant ... I'm ignorant ... we've hit a wall! That's enough, I'm ending the conversion ... until Jesus returns -- then in the Millennial Kingdom, things will be resolved and we will be able to talk.

    GOD's True Israel

    Yes, no problem with that ... Judah >Ju = Jew. Historically that is correct. Jewish today refers to those who follow Judaism. And so we associate all the Israelites as following the same religion. Jewish denotes the modern ethnoreligiuos identity and cultural community. Likewise, anyone alive...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Well, it seems like you understand what the second death is, just can't grasp what the first one is all about. Those faithless, godless, unbelievers are conscious in the underworld, Hades. The experience is described in Luke 16 - which is not symbolic, it is a real place.

    The Strait of Hormuz is “closed.”

    Don't compare Trump with the murderous, terrorist Ayatollah or his son, who will likely follow his footsteps.
