The 5-month period of "locusts" tormenting people cannot be the same as that occurring in AD 70 when Titus came to Jerusalem and took the city after his 5-month siege. There is a problem with that interpretation, because the 5th trumpet judgment has TWO MORE WOES that follow after it (Rev...

You are misunderstanding my reply, TS. The 5-month period of the Roman soldiers under Gessius Florus harassing and tormenting the Jews in Judea was NOT - repeat - NOT the "Great Tribulation". Those 5 months were the period of May through September in AD 66, which was just prior to that "Great...

This 5th trumpet judgment is ancient history. None of it is destined for our future. Typically in Israel for the five summer months running from May to September, literal locusts often arrive to plague the landscape. John was borrowing from this literal locust phenomenon and using that as...

Your soteriology is hopelessly twisted, and reduces the significance of Christ's sacrifice of Himself for His elect to nothing.

No, none of those texts are describing conditions of the Millennium. That is only your assumption. You are missing the symbolism of the conditions of the New Jerusalem portrayed in Zechariah 14:16-21. We the believers are occupying the New Jerusalem at present - which has been the case for a...

If the 144,000 were to be Jews at the end times in the future, then that would make them the "LAST-fruits", wouldn't it? But that isn't what they were called. "First-fruits" is a Jewish harvest term that was used for the barley harvest at Passover. Back under Mosaic law, there was a sheaf...

This is actually quite simple. John told us exactly who those 144,000 of Rev. 7 & 14 were. The 144,000 were called "the FIRST-FRUITS unto God and to the Lamb" in Revelation 14:4. This title of the 144,000 being the "First-fruits" is also a title shared by "Christ the First-fruits" (1 Cor...

ABSOLUTELY FALSE. "But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins FOREVER, sat down at the right hand of God." (Hebrews 10:12)

If you subscribe to the idea that this was supposed to be a total of 2,300 literal 24-hour days, that was not what Daniel wrote. The word "days" never appears in this particular prophecy. There was a morning and an evening oblation for each of 1,150 days, which totalled 2,300 of those...

These things have ALL been fulfilled. ALL of Daniel's prophecy is ancient history by now. The 2,300 mornings and evenings (a total of 1,150 literal 24-hour days, each with a morning and evening oblation) was fulfilled by the time the victorious Maccabees had cleansed the temple after the...

You yourself are stubbornly refusing to read all of Ezekiel chapter 44, where it describes how none of the idolatrous Levites from the Babylonian exile period except for the faithful family of Zadok were going to be allowed access into "the MOST HOLY PLACE" (Ezekiel 41:4 and 44:13) of Ezekiel's...

You are totally missing the point I am trying to make. Which is easy to do on a forum where we are merely looking at the words and not a person's facial expressions and manner of speaking. I am NOT saying that people should avoid taking medicine and visiting doctors to help with their...

And how do you know this? Were you there in Zerubbabel's days as he was helping to build it from start to finish? Remember, Herod's temple renovations greatly changed what the Second temple looked like during those 46 years in building it, as of Christ's first Passover. Jerusalem's temple by...

Of course Ezekiel's temple was built. The scripture passage I quoted from Ezra says so. You just don't want to believe that text. You need to read the entire text of Ezekiel 44 regarding why God forbad any Levite family except that of the ZADOK family members to come near to him and serve in...

That was NOT God's proscribed desire for Adam to rule over Eve. God was simply warning Eve of the disastrous results that sin would unfortunately bring to their marital union. It was not as God desired their marriage to be. Look also at what would happen to Adam. The ground would be cursed...

Correction: In the past, Ezekiel's temple WAS the temple for the second coming of Jesus Christ back in AD 70. Just before it was torn down to the last stone, including that eastern gate for the direction in which Jesus Christ returned to the Mount of Olives across from Jerusalem. This temple...

This is false. John was not writing to Israel in 2 John. He was writing to the "elect lady" and the "children" of her assembly. These "children" were not her own bodily offspring, any more than John addressing the church members he was teaching as "my little children" was speaking to...

But this is not spiritual rape. It is actual physical sexual relations of angels who "left their first estate" (Jude 6) and married human women (not little 4-year-old girls) in order to deliberately propagate a hybrid species. Satan knew this would be a way to ruin the chances of the...

I used to be fearful after reading books concerning the fallen angels of the spirit world as a young teen. Then in my more recent eschatology studies, I encountered the scriptures that said God had not put the world under subjection to the angels in the world that was coming in the first...

Tell that to "the elect lady" leading the assembly in her home that John commended in 2 John. John was giving her instructions as to whom she was to either receive or reject from joining that assembly (2 John 10).
