  1. 3 Resurrections

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    If Nehemiah wrote concerning the post-exilic return that Jerusalem's houses were not builded (Neh. 7:4), and that the city "lieth waste" (Neh. 2:17), this is corroboration that Jerusalem was completely destroyed. Lamentations agreed with Nehemiah that the wall was torn down, and its gates and...
  2. 3 Resurrections

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The entire book of Lamentations is a funeral dirge for the dead city of Jerusalem, its temple, and the nation's people sent into exile. This is good enough corroboration for me. Jeremiah was mourning the first death of Jerusalem in that book. In the AD 70 period, Jerusalem experienced its...
  3. 3 Resurrections

    Assumptions are certainly often shown to be wrong. Jesus' resurrection

    Christ's body leaving through the still-sealed walls of the tomb (leaving it empty of anything but the burial cloths) WAS His glorified body already. He was at that moment of His resurrection in possession of His deathless, immortal, incorruptible body form which is still in heaven today and...
  4. 3 Resurrections

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    This was fulfilled in Jerusalem's first death under the Babylonian invasion by Nebuchadnezzar, in the year 586 BC. As Micah 4:10 wrote concerning the judgment of exile for Israel's people, "...for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even...

    PAST-Millennialism

    God tells us that Pharaoh king of Egypt was being compared to one called "the Assyrian" in Ezekiel 31:3. "Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches..." etc. Just...

    Assumptions are certainly often shown to be wrong. Jesus' resurrection

    This is not true. The believers, just like Christ, are given "CHANGED" bodies - not an exchange which would leave our old body forms in the dirt to rot. The old body form for the saints is changed into an incorruptible state which is immortal and will never die again, just like Christ...

    NOT. AT. ALL.

    What is unbelievable about the Bible

    I'll offer a suggestion. Jesus during those 40 days was acting like a parent does when they are preparing their young adult children to launch from the home. They back off a bit and delegate more to them, to teach them responsibility so that they can succeed as mature adults. Jesus had...

    PAST-Millennialism

    Satan is never referred to as a man in scripture. He was called the "anointed cherub" which had been in Eden (Ezekiel 28), which is a totally different type of God's creative work. You are trying to connect humankind and angelic beings as the same thing, and they have different types of flesh...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I disagree with covenantee that this was fulfilled in the Bar Kokhba rebellion, since the entire prediction in Luke 19:43-44 would have a trench cast about Jerusalem, with the city's enemies surrounding them on every side. This was fulfilled with the construction of a wall of circumvallation...

    Women Pastors / Teachers

    No, the most natural reading for the phrase "her children" is in the same sense in which 1 John 2:12, 2:18 and 3:18 uses that term. "I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake." "Little children, it is the last hour..." "My little children, let...

    No, I am not incorrect that "Lucifer" was referred to as a "MAN" in Isaiah 14:16. "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, 'Is this THE MAN that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms:" When this last king of Babylon (Belshazzar / aka Lucifer)...

    PAST-Millennialism

    For one thing, the title of "Lucifer" was never applied to Satan in scripture. It was a name applied to the king of Babylon - the "man" who had made all the nations tremble, but who would be slain and left unburied in Isaiah 14:16-20. For another thing, John wrote a warning to his own...

    Satan as the "anointed cherub" no longer exists. He has been burned to ashes long ago on the earth, and as God told Satan in Ezekiel 28:18-19, "thou shalt no more exist" after that.

    Women Pastors / Teachers

    My desires of how to interpret this passage are immaterial and do not enter into the discussion. I read 2 John 9-11 quite plainly telling this "elect lady" how she was to vet anyone wishing to join the assembly. If anyone came unto the church desiring to join in fellowship with the believers...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Luke was giving an account of the same prediction as Matthew did. The AOD included. All of it was related to the destruction of Jerusalem along with the second-coming return of Christ. This return took place while there was still that Jerusalem temple in existence with its eastern gate - the...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Those towers were part of the walls of Jerusalem. Christ's prediction was that Jerusalem's enemies would not leave "IN THEE one stone upon another". That was INSIDE the walls of Jerusalem where everything would be torn down. Which did happen in the AD 70 period.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    That is false. Christ said in Luke 19:44 that Jerusalem's enemies would not leave in her one stone upon another inside Jerusalem. All would be torn down and laid level with the ground, and this happened. Historians verify this, saying that if travelers came to the site after the AD 70 war's...

    It makes her a teacher of a man. Something which you and others above have said she was not supposed to do. Yet Paul had nothing but praise written for this woman and her husband. And you have yet to address the facts about the "elect lady" who was leading the church in 2 John, and being...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    No, you misunderstand. Christ predicted to Jerusalem in Luke 19:43-44 when armies would come to surround the city of Jerusalem and what they would do once they came. "For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in...
