The writer of Hebrews makes it clear (Heb. 9). Jesus came the FIRST time to "deal with sin." He did that on the cross as the sacrificial lamb. But there was much more involved in the work of atonement and the work of the high priest. He had to go into the Most Holy Place and sprinkle the blood...

ALL of the these things in the Olivet Discourse were directed at those very disciples standing right there with Him. THEY were to live through all of it--in THEIR generation. Jesus said so. Will we not acknowledge HIS timing of events?

The only proper way to determine the identity of the "beast" is to acknowledge the clear timing for John's vision. He was shown those things which were to SHORTLY take place; the time was NEAR--in his own day (Rev. 1:1, 3; 22:6, 10). This includes Revelation 19:20! We must remember that the...

We are not to be "physically" redeemed. The death Jesus came to overcome was NOT physical death--it was spiritual death (i.e., separation from God). Being "raised from the dead" is to be fully restored to complete fellowship with God--the fellowship lost in the first Adam. This is apparent by...

Ezekiel 37 was fulfilled when the Jews returned from captivity in Babylon. It is not about OUR future. Furthermore, Jesus taught that the age in which He and those of His day were then living was "about to come" (Mat. 13). The Mosaic/Old Covenant age ended in A. D. 70 at the Lord's return and...

Again, Paul is NOT addressing us in our time. When he wrote "we," he meant himself and those of his day. "We [THEY] shall be changed." Your concept of the resurrection is faulty, therefore, you ignore the clear timing and the original AUDIENCE. THEY were changed in that THEY were given the...

Jesus said He was returning to those of His day (Mat. 10:23; 16:27, 28; 24:34; 26:64). His inspired writers placed His return in their day (James 5:8, 9; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 John 2:18; Rev. 1:1, 3; 22:6, 10, etc.). You are ignoring the timing because it doesn't fit your incorrect paradigm concerning...

To whom is Paul writing in 1 Thessalonians 4? "For this WE say unto YOU by the word of the Lord, that WE which ARE ALIVE and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep." The things Paul wrote about to THEM were going to happen to THEM and to HIM (THEY are the...

Why do you refuse to put the Scriptures in their historical settings? You make "you" about us. Count all of the YOU's in those passages, Scott. Again, I say, WE are NOT the YE. You misunderstand because you refuse to acknowledge those to whom the words were first written. Paul and Peter wrote...

WE were not told to be patient, Scott! Those to whom James was then writing were told to wait "patiently." Why? Because the COMING of the Lord was THEN "at hand"--in THEIR day. Those words do not mean "at any time." They are never used that way in the NT. AT HAND is always used to mean SOON...

What "things must precede Christ's Coming"? Please give Scripture in context.

Clearly, the "beast" was someone of John's own day. John was shown those things which were to SHORTLY take place; the time was NEAR (Rev. 1:1, 3; 22:6, 10). The beast was NERO.

Because He has not come back in the wrong way that you demand that He come, you take liberty to ignore time statements and the historical settings in which they are found? Where does Peter speak of "the final Day of Judgment"? Second Peter 3:10-13 has nothing to do with some end-of-the-world...

Scott, you have not presented these passages in context. WE are not being addressed by Peter--those of HIS day were. It is imperative that the student of God's Word first establish the SETTING of a passage before he seeks to understand it. We must answer these questions: who Who wrote it; to...

To whom is Matthew 13:29 written? Who is being addressed in Matthew 24:33. Scott, WE are NOT the YE. THEY were to told to watch so that day did not take them by surprise. Also, the writer of Hebrews was admonishing those of HIS day to not forsake "the assambling" of THEMSELVES "together."...

To whom is this written, Scott? WE are NOT the YE. James is telling THEM to be patient "until the coming of the Lord." Are those very people still here among us being patient? Of course not. Theu were to be patient because He was coming to THEM. They were to establish their hearts because in...

Why do you make a distinction between the "Second Coming" and His coming in judgment in A. D. 70 against those apostate Jews He condemned in Matthew 23? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that many Christians make this distinction because they have a faulty understanding of the nature of...

Could you please provide scriptural support for this statement? In many places, Jesus and His inspired writers placed His return in their generation/lifetime. Before Jesus sent out the Twelve to the lost sheep of Israel, He told them: "YOU will not finish going through the cities of Israel...
