There is no such thing as the "Gentile church" today. God has removed those classifications of Jew and Gentile. There is only the "One New Man" in Christ under the New Covenant. This is the true definition of the "Third temple". The temple of God is holy, which temple WE are, if we are in...

It's just as @quietthinker said above - its a metaphor symbolizing Christ's ability to cut his enemies in pieces with His pronounced word. After all, Moses's prediction to the nation of Israel was that whoever would not hear Christ's prophetic words would be "completely cut off" from among the...

God was going to commit all judgment to the Son, because He was the Son of Man and was entitled to wage war against His enemies and "stain all His raiment" in the process. This delegating authority to the Son of Man to execute God's judgment is found in John 5:22-24 & 27. "For the Father...

In the Matthew 22 parable about the "King" coming against the murderous servants, (the "King" being God), Christ said that the "King" would send forth "HIS armies" and destroy those murderers, and burn up their city. In other words, the Romans were only acting out the intended purpose which...

Having Christ "suddenly appear in their temple" was taken from the prophecy in Malachi 3:1-3. "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in...

We are more in agreement than you think on this. I do agree that the Zealot armies along with the Roman army were part of the PLURAL "Jerusalem surrounded by armIES" (plural). Daniel 9:26 wrote that "unto the end of the war desolationS (plural) are determined". Since the Roman army was...

Not really, according to those Partial Preterists I have encountered. In general, they tend to slice and dice the book of Revelation into some events which were literally fulfilled in the tumultuous AD 66-70 period, but relegate the scenes of final battle events, the judgment of Satan, the...

I wish to correct a misunderstanding of Paul's statement, when compared with the rest of scripture content. Salvation is not genetic, nor is is it issued with a marriage license. You would probably take issue with Paul when expressing a desire that his opponents concerning the circumcision...

You are thinking of what the third heaven's environment might be like where God dwells. I am speaking of the kingdom of heaven, which was then present among those to whom John the Baptist was speaking. "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" meant that the kingdom of heaven was then present on...

That's not what Zechariah 14:4-7 said concerning Christ's return. Christ's return was going to be "one day known to the Lord". It was going to be neither day nor night, (in between day and nighttime), and at evening time it would become light. Christ was going to return just as the sun was...

It's one thing for the unbelieving spouse and the children of that marriage to benefit by the exposure to the gospel through their believing partner or parent. It is quite another thing to say that this exposure automatically equates to salvation for that unbelieving person - or their children...

It was not 1,335 days "after the Roman sacking of Jerusalem". It was 1,335 days after the Roman soldiers under Cestius Gallus first made contact with the temple wall in AD 66 by resting their shields against it in testudo-fashion, and were about to begin undermining the wall. Josephus records...

Paul never said that being married to an unbeliever automatically confers salvation upon the unbeliever or the children of their union. That idea would contradict other scriptures. Either this man believes that it does, or he has chosen an unfortunate way of expressing himself concerning the...

Idiocy. No salvation for the unmarried? More idiocy. God never instituted a traditional Latin mass back in the days of the tabernacle in the wilderness, nor in the days of the early church. Sainthood is not determined by our own actions. It is a status conveyed upon all the children of God...

ABSOLUTELY YES. Christ never abandoned His glorified, resurrected body form which ascended into the heavens in Acts 1. He was predicted to come "in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven". Any return of Christ to this planet of necessity requires that He do this in His glorified...

Daniel was very specific. So was Zechariah chapters 12-14 concerning the siege both against Judah and Jerusalem and Christ's bodily return to the Mount of Olives. The NT writers were also very specific about a resurrection that was about to happen in that first-century generation in that...

You are quite correct that this was not literal locusts, but was imagery portraying an army instead. But you are incorrect that this Revelation 9 plague is in our future. It's long past, and was fulfilled in the five-months period of AD 66 from April / May until August / September - when the...

The "sign" was predicted to appear in the heavens, which the believers were to watch for. This "sign" which indicated a timing for Christ's bodily return at the second coming was based on the appearance of the new moon. This new moon's appearance was diligently watched for by the priesthood...

Sure He did. With a specific mention of the most vulnerable being women with child and those who were nursing babies. And a recommendation that they pray that their physical flight out of Judea and Jerusalem would not take place during the winter (when the deluge of the "early rains" season...

That's not quite the way Daniel portrayed the iron kingdom of Rome. The "iron" of the Roman empire extended all the way from the legs to the tips of the toes. The "iron" of the Roman empire didn't stop at the legs in Daniel's statue, but became blended with the "clay" of the Israelite kingdom...
