    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    What was the date of Jesus' Baptism? How is it that only YOU know it was in A.D. 27? Do you have special knowledge? What was the date that Stephen was stoned? How is it that only YOU know it was in A.D. 34? Again, do you have some special knowledge (Gnosticism) or are you a prophet like rabbi...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    You're obfuscating; you're not answering the questions. I'm not interested in two people I've never heard of nor your particular take on Preterism. Here are three events which happen after the sixty-two 'sevens'. Daniel 9:26 Then after the sixty- two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Having NEVER READ Jesuit theology, I fail to see how I could believe in something I've never seen. Now - quit obfuscating: SHOW us the Scripture. Specifically: show us where Jesus confirmed either the Abrahamic or Davidic Covenants to increase either offspring or the kingdom respectively at...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Preterism and Futurism are dynamic opposites. To say both come from the Jesuits is a little like saying jet aircraft are spreading chemtrails across the world to poison the people because the Illuminati are trying to kill us all. You sure do preach your point of view. You haven't been able to...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    You didn't address the Scripture in question which does that. You ignore it. The only way to ignore the gap, is to ignore the actual language Gabriel conveys, from God, to Daniel. God's Plan: seventy 'sevens'. Gabriel said: Dan 9:26 Then after the sixty- two weeks the Messiah will be cut...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    First of all, I'm not going to reply to some dogmatic, conspiracy-laden, internet hype on Jesuits, the Pope, Scofield, Darby, or sins of Westcott and Hort. To me, these are minor side issues that have nothing to do with what we can read for ourselves in the Bible. I do not rely upon them for...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Jesus did not prevail by might the New Covenant. That is what gabar would mean if you assign Jesus to Daniel 9:27. Now the Lord, the Commander of God's Army, whose strong right arm can save us; did not foil the attempt to execute Himself in the most barbaric, humiliating way possible. He did...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Preterism holds that the prophecy of events were fulfilled in the 1st century. If it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck, and it floats like a duck, and it flies like a duck: it's duck.

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    We're not supposed to insert a gap in time between the sixty-two 'seven's and the one 'seven'. God did. And Gabriel told that to Daniel. Dan 9:26 Then after the sixty- two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and...

    Imminent.

    The Great Tribulation is cut short by the sudden arrival of the Day of the Lord. It does not run the rest of of the one 'seven'. Now as far as imminence, why was this preached to the Church? Because our meeting Jesus could happen at any time - none of us know what the future holds and when we...

    Imminent.

    John 15:17. This is my command: Love each other. How does this refute being caught up with the resurrected souls Jesus brings with Him when He comes for us who remain and are still alive? Silly rabbi: Trix are for kids.

    Imminent.

    Jesus never refuted what He taught when He said that He would gather up the Elect when He comes again. Once again, rabbi keras misrepresents what Jesus says.

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Another problem with saying Jesus "confirmed" a Covenant in Daniel 9:27 is that that is not what 'gabar' means in Hebrew. 310 נכד (gābar) prevail, be mighty, have strength, be great. (ASV and RSV similar.) Derivatives 310a (geber) man. 310b (gibbôr) mighty man. 310c (ge bûrâ) might. 310d (ge...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    I think I read something like this on the internet, and you know the internet doesn't make anything up. Now, please provide direct evidence from the Bible that Jesus "confirmed" either the Abrahamaic or Davidic Covenants. Now we can point to specific points to each. The Abrahamaic Covenant is...

    1. No. The Zealots are not the ones who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Trying to say the defeated party who lived there and lost the war, and so suffered the consequence when the victor tore down everything they valued, is political spin. This is how far and how many hoops you have to...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    There is no seven year covenant in either the Gospels or Acts. And tell me, a covenant is a specific set of quid pro quo between two or more parties. Please provide chapter and verse detailing the two (or more) sides of this agreement when Jesus was baptized

    No, the Romans destroyed it

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    What you espouse is Preterism. Titus determines the people from whom the anti-Christ comes. He never made a covenant for the one 'seven'. Now, like most Preterists, you're all over the map. First you say Jesus started the one 'seven' and He is at the midpoint. Then you say it's a person who...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    The implied subject of the verb gabar, which doesn't mean "confirm" reverts to the last person mentioned - whom is the object of the prepositional phrase setting up the detailed parallel verse (with more information about the "end" - the prince who comes from the people who destroyed the city...

    The Day Of Wrath.

    You have a lot of fanciful, pejorative presuppositions - none of which apply. Pre-Wrath is an intellectual outgrowth of looking at how the Bible sequences the Rapture to God's Wrath.
