  1. 3 Resurrections

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    You aren't bothering to read who Jude was speaking about. "Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about THESE MEN ALSO, saying, 'Behold the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them ..." Don't you realize who Jude...
  2. 3 Resurrections

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Of course Christ's return includes a resurrection of the dead. I've never denied this. But there is more than one of these bodily resurrection events, or we would not have scripture mentioning the "FIRST resurrection". It was the "FIRST" of two other bodily resurrection events to come...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Do you understand what being made a "footstool" actually is? The OT used to call Jerusalem's temple (and particularly the ark of the covenant) God's "footstool" (1 Chron. 28:2, Lam. 2:1). It was where intercession was made on behalf of God's people and the fire of God on the altar was kept...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    No, we today are not waiting for the second appearance of Christ. We are waiting on the final third appearance at His next return. Christ now "rules in the midst of His enemies". And there is more than just a single "reaping" of the harvested bodies of the saints out of the ground. Israel's...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    What on earth is so sad about Preterism? The scriptures proves that Satan's entire realm has been dead and gone since AD 70. We are presently occupying the New Jerusalem reality, with its open gates of invitation to the nations to enter and be healed. The wicked are outside those New...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    ...and you are still failing to address the scriptures brought up that prove an AD 70 return for Christ to the Mount of Olives before that first-century generation had passed away. Why should this bother you that Christ returned back then in the first century as He said He was going to, and...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    I was first alerted to this LXX version of Zechariah 14:4-5 several years ago by a poster on one of the Christian forums (gracecentered.com in their Eschatology forum section) where I am a member. They entitled their post "Ye shall NOT flee to Azal". I noticed just now that a post by almost...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Don't forget it says North and South also. "And half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south." What do you think happens when an earthquake occurs for a mountain? Rocks split apart in all directions and fall downhill, just as Zechariah predicted that the Valley...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    That was the plague of starvation in Jerusalem - so sudden and acute that the flesh of men would "dissolve" as they stood upon their feet. This affected the beasts also (Zech. 14:15). Anyone knowing the history of the siege which Titus began in the spring of AD 70 just after Passover started...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    If you are thinking that this Zechariah 14:4 verse is describing something like a meat cleaver chopping the Mount of Olives in half, of course that never happened. The translation of this verse is off track. Try reading it in the LXX instead of the KJV or other translations like it. An...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    I notice that you aren't even bothering to address the language of the scriptures involved....

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Wrong, it is absolutely impossible for this Zechariah 14:1-4 prophecy to be in our future. The entire prophecy of every one of those things prophesied to take place "In that day" is given from Zechariah 12 through Zechariah 14. This Zechariah 12-14 prophecy concentrated on Israel described a...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Human history on this planet has continued to flow after Christ's second coming, as it is presented in scripture. Have you never recognized these texts? A third coming of Christ is absolutely essential so that those saints who live and die in this period after Christ's second coming will also...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    You are free to disagree as much as you wish, but that doesn't change Christ's words about the timing of His second coming return before that first-century generation had passed away. As He said in Matthew 16:27-28, there were some of those standing in front of Him who would not have died...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    The phrase "days of vengeance" tells us that this passage in Luke 21:20-22 was fulfilled in judgement against the first-century generation of Israel which were the "betrayers and murderers" of Christ in their days. God took vengeance against that generation of Israelites which killed His Son...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    The particular phase of salvation which the 144,000 ethnic Israelite tribal members experienced was their bodily resurrection. They were preserved in that glorified resurrected state - "sealed" - as a symbol that their eventual transport to heaven in those glorified bodies was reserved in the...

    How will the end come....?

    The Satanic realm of evil angels aren't in existence anymore. God took out the evil angels back in AD 70, as well as the Devil and every unclean spirit, which all "passed out of the land". Zechariah 13:2 had predicted this would take place along with the siege against Judah and Jerusalem...

    Stores closing in the cities due to lawlessness.

    This increase in thievery is not a novelty of our times, and neither is it particularly prophetic. There is nothing new under the sun, after all. Solomon gave the cause of this long ago in Ecclesiastes 8:11. "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Acts 8:1 (YLT) tells us about the great persecution against the church starting the very day of Stephen's martyrdom. "And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came IN THAT DAY a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The Lord's supper is a symbolic act; one which "shows the Lord's death until He come". The act and the elements provide the symbol, but what they portray is the literal shed blood and broken body of the Lord back in AD 33. Just like the harlot Mystery Babylon also provided a symbol of...
