Paul is talking about the translation from this world to the next world (heaven). This is something that every single believer including Paul will experience. That’s why we are to comfort one another with those words.

The pre, mid, nor post trib positions can ever be reconciled because there is no such thing as the “rapture” and is proven in this verse. 1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are...

I’m sorry you feel that way.

The 70th week is the key to understanding the prophecy. Jesus rode in to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as King of kings, a few days later he was cut off. Exactly 7 days later he rose from the dead. The resurrection of Christ confirmed the promises God made to Abraham. The 7 weeks are the restoration...

I don’t mind at all CTK but I’ll have to do it tomorrow.

You can make up anything you want I suppose.

With that reasoning you could say the 70th week is still going on today. You’re trying to cram a square peg in a round hole.

I agree with most of that but not the last part of the week. The verse says HE shall confirm the covenant with many for one week meaning the events confirming the covenant would be accomplished by Jesus. I don’t see how the disciples preaching the gospel for 3 1/2 years after his death could be...

Thanks for your reply. I believe Daniels 70 weeks are literal 7 day weeks. I believe “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city” means Israel and earthly Jerusalem will cease to exist.

Yes it is, the nation ended at the cross according to Amos.

How does the last week play out in the one week is seven years view?

One of the keys to understanding Satan is Genesis 3:15. Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. If you can figure out who the two seeds are you pretty much know what Satan is.

I’m sure you dont know what I’m asking…. I don’t even know what I was asking lol. That was probably autocorrect on my phone. If I remember correctly, I was saying the gospel was preached to Abraham before Israel existed. That being the case, do you think the gospel was preached to the world...

I don't agree with your conclusion that Zacharias was mistaken in his faith or hope. I pointed out that even the disciples wondered if God was going to restore the kingdom to Israel. And since Jesus didn't correct their view, I take this to mean that indeed, God was going to restore the kingdom...

The question of Am I obligated to keep/guard/fence the 10 commandments? No, Christ made us free from the law. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The gospel was preached to Abraham before Israel existed. Are we to assume the gospel was preached to non-Jews up until Israel and then the gospel became exclusively for the Jews only?

They were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world because they were WITHOUT CHRIST. There has never been a time when any race of people couldn’t believe God and it was counted to them as righteousness...

The Old Testament church was hidden (in her closet) in the Old Testament according to Joel 2. There are many things about the church that are either not given or heavily veiled in the Old Testament.

There are so many interesting things that come up during these discussions that are totally unrelated to the OP. I hate to say it but typing on a forum is probably the worst way for two individuals to communicate but it sure is fun! I’m 60 years, old half blind, and trying to read and type on...

I know you’ve replied to me several times and I apologize, I’m doing other things at the same time and this thread is moving faster than I can keep. I agree the primary focus was of the Old Testament was on the Jews but there are many gentile believers in the OT.
