Uh, yes, He was. His statement was that the Queen of Sheba, and those of Nineveh would rise up in the judgment with "THIS generation" because a greater than Solomon and Jonah was "HERE" - namely Christ Himself standing right there in front of them, "here" and bodily, in THAT wicked generation...

We cannot simply flush the Matthew 27:52-53 account of those many saints who were bodily resurrected in AD 33 and went into the holy city to be seen of many eye-witnesses there. Along with "Christ the First-fruits", these Matt. 27:52-53 resurrected saints were also the "First-fruits"...

Yep. I agree with this above. That judgment would include both the just AND the unjust, (coming in AD 70) which imminent resurrection and judgment truly frightened Felix. Sure there is. This AD 33 resurrection in verse 25 - the hour that "NOW IS" - did not have any evil individuals which...

Even though some 30-plus years had passed since the resurrection of Christ and the Matthew 27:52-53 saints back in AD 33, those Matt. 27 resurrected saints were still circulating and serving among the early church. Hymenaeus and Philetus were calling attention to the former AD 33 resurrection...

No living believers are ever promised a translation-type change of their bodies in Scripture without dying first. Only the believers who physically die are promised this change into the incorruptible and immortal state. "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment"...

Those of Paul's own day claiming the resurrection was already past were looking backward to the bodily resurrection of Christ and the many Matthew 27:52-53 saints who came out of their graves the same day as Christ, and who went into the city of Jerusalem to be "seen of many". There were many...

But I agree with you that not everything is symbolic. It's a mix of both the literal and the symbolic in Revelation, as it is throughout Scripture. As for the Sea Beast being of ancient origin instead of something we expect for our future, are you denying the Roman Senate records of when the...

I would agree with this improvement perspective as to the success of evangelism in this world. I believe this in spite of the persecution and martyrdom of Christians in many countries. "The Spirit of God is not bound", and never was. But in the sense of a monetary collapse, I believe this...

Well, I believe there are Scripture patterns which predict a worldwide societal "collapse" coming soon - in 2033 as a matter of fact. In spite of that - even because of that - the current leaders of governments are exactly what God is using to bring about His own purposes of expanding His...

Correction: there was more than one John in the early church. John the son of Zebedee was definitely martyred, as Christ promised that both brothers would "share the same cup" that He was about to suffer (Matt. 20:22-23). And you probably remember "John surnamed Mark", the young man who Paul...

I share this belief with you, based on the Scriptures. This planet will endure forever. God did not create it in vain; "He formed it to be inhabited", which I believe it will be throughout eternity: our playground in the eternal state, in addition to wherever else in this universe or in other...

God's purpose of governmental structures is ideally for the suppression of evil. "He beareth not the sword in vain..." , as you have brought up from Romans 13:4. Even in the New Heavens and the New Earth environment, sinners are still operating, according to Isaiah 65:20 and Revelation 22:15...

Please. You are missing the symbolism of the "right" hand. The "right" hand all throughout Scripture is symbolic of the position of approval and blessing (Jacob deliberately blessing the younger Ephraim with his right hand above Manasseh being blessed with his left hand. Benjamin's name...

Christ did not avoid those who were ignorantly in error, such as Nicodemus. He sat down with them and discussed the Scriptures with them. I believe that Christ has kept and will keep His promises. One of those promises was for Him to bodily return with the angels while some of those He was...

Until 2033.

I once thought the same as you on that particular part of 1 Cor. 15:24, with all rule and authority, and power being put down by Christ already back in AD 70. In a sense, the Satanic realm being eradicated and totally destroyed back in AD 70, as well as the physical temple priesthood system...

Actually, yes. Women wore a set of ten of these shekels on the forehead of their headdress, to denote their marital status. Remember the parable Christ gave about the woman who lost one of those coins in the house, and desperately searched for it until she found it, with great rejoicing...

This is true. Because John the author of Revelation was NOT the disciple John, son of Zebedee whom Jesus predicted would be martyred as well as his brother James (already slain with the sword by Herod in Acts 12:1-2). John the author of Revelation was the "beloved disciple" - "the one whom...

Again, absolutely true. I sit on both sides of the debate, and thereby tend to get shot from all sides. Paul taught three separate resurrection events in 1 Cor. 15:23-24. "Christ the First-fruits" (which was in AD 33), "afterward those who are Christ's at His coming" (which was in AD 70)...

Yep, I agree...that's pretty much where I see the symbolism pointing to. I have heard others say the same thing.
