    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Loved what your said!!!! For what it is worth.... here is a cut / paste from my commentary on Daniel. This a a partial narrative found in the 9:24 discssion. Daniel 9:24 doesn’t just speak of righteousness—it speaks of everlasting righteousness. This is not a temporary covering or symbolic...

    No future hope for Israel in the Bible

    For what it is worth... Here is a cut / paste from my commentary on Revelation (still in progress). Below is a partial narratvie for verses 7:4-8 which provides the importance of Israel at the end times. Without God providing their unique and corporate like "Damascus like experience" that was...

    No future hope for Israel in the Bible

    Thanks for the interesting topic. Before I might offer some thoughts on this can you please tell me the difference between the old and the new covenant.? That might help me with my respoinses and I can try and concentrate on the "Israel" comment. Thanks. (you really should get my commentary -...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    For what it is worth, I believe the 3.5 years takes place at the end of time - at its completion, we will see the return of the Messiah. If you (or others) would like to receive a free copy of my commentary on Daniel, please PM me.

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    For what it is worth... In Paul’s comments, “alive and remain” simply means still living at the Lord’s coming—ordinary believers who haven’t died. Paul even includes himself in the “we,” not a special class of previously resurrected people. The sequence is plain: the Lord descends, the dead in...

    When will the earth be 6,000 years old?

    I apologize… my entire response was made in jest. I was jokingly using the same kind of thought process many use when they speak about the 70 weeks of years prophecy. Meaning, what week comes after 69 —- well, 70, and some contend there is a 2000 year gap between week 69 and 70. But I am...

    Understanding Genesis 18:1-22:24

    For what it is worth... here is a partial cut / paste from my commentary on Daniel .. Talking about the Trinity has always been difficult. For two thousand years Christians have tried to speak faithfully about the one God who has made Himself known as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (ruach)...

    When will the earth be 6,000 years old?

    It should come after year 5999 unless you believe in the "gap theory." :IDK:

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Would you mind providing the scripture verses that tell the Messiah came back at 70 AD? I do not see anything that speaks of this... Thanks.

    Prophecy From Daniel Seen In History And The Book Of Revelation

    For what it is worth, here is a partial cut / paste from my commentary on Daniel for the 2300 day prophecy. (should you or others have an interest in receiving a free author's copy to consider, please send me a PM). The interpretation of the 2300-evening-and-morning prophecy has commonly been...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    When Jesus speaks of the foundation of His people, the Bible keeps the spotlight on Him as the unique cornerstone. That isn’t one of several cornerstones; it’s the One Stone that sets and supports the whole building (Psalm 118; Matthew 21; Ephesians 2; 1 Peter 2). Under Him, the apostles and...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Hi Mary, I agree Peter plays a crucial role. Where we differ is in what exactly Jesus means by “this rock.” Here’s why I don’t think Jesus makes Peter the foundation of the Church, but rather honors Peter for the revelation he voiced and then entrusts him (and the others) with gospel...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Jesus turns to His friends and asks the question that still decides everything: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter blurts what grace has just placed on his tongue: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus smiles because He knows where Peter’s answer came from: “Flesh and blood...

    That is fine, if you want to discuss any of the interpretations that would also be fine.

    Daniel Interprets The Dream, A "Peek" into Eternity

    Thank you for your response. Let me ask you to consider an alternative interpretation that carries forward throughout Daniel and is a complete departure from any of today's accepted interpretations of these 10 toes or 10 horns (and I am sure you might agree that most take the position they...

    Walter, I replied to your post but at this time I only see your original post with no replies to it (from myself). Is that what also see on this site?
