    Does anyone still believe in a Resurrection?

    Shabbat shalom, n2thelight. Just differ with me, dear brother. You don’t have to beg for my permission or indulgence. First of all, you need to understand that Paul was NOT the only one who wrote the Brit Chadashah (the New “Testament,” or rather the New Covenant), and it is NOT certain that...

    Famine Coming Soon ?

    Shabbat shalom, Eric. I’m not going to disagree with you; however, you need to be aware that Matthew 24:7 is one of the EXCEPTIONS to the Lord Yeshua`s discourse to His disciples about what’s going to happen in 40 years from then. Most of Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are about the...

    Does anyone still believe in a Resurrection?

    Shalom, justaname. Yes, but not for the purposes that most suppose for them. They will be reinstated because GOD LOVES A GOOD BARBECUE! They will NOT be needed for a person’s justification or for atonement for sin. The sacrifice of the red heifer will be needed to sanctify the new Temple that...

    Does anyone still believe in a Resurrection?

    Shalom, everyone. I don’t often take the initiative to start a topic because usually I’m busy trying to answer objections in a defensive posture. Today, I’m going on the offensive. I was reading in Joshua chapters 13 through 21 about all the land that was promised to each of the tribes of...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Yeah, sorry about that. I didn’t know any other way than to just attack the whole thing; there’s such a disparity. I lost my post a couple of times, trying to do it all in the “post reply” window. There were a couple of days too busy to get back to it. I knew that it would be a...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Your words: ‘While I agree in principle, the reality is that believing in millennia old prophecies isn’t “common” sense. Believing that Christ was the Son of God isn’t “common” sense, etc. We accept these things by faith, which in and of itself is also NOT “common sense”.’...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, keras. I think you’ve put all your eggs in a crumbling basket. A CME is NOT what Yeshua` will use when He returns, although He HAS promised fire: 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, Jack. This is not a “majority rules” situation. Two things one must remember: First, not everyone who says to Yeshua`, “Lord, Lord,” is born again. And second, the majority is all too often in the wrong! Matthew 7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into...

    Wonderful Things, Long Planned and Sure

    Shalom, keras. I do like the way you think and consider prophecy; you have a knack for bringing together prophetic Scriptures into a harmony that seems like a good weave and mesh of truth; however, I must insist that you take the time to READ each of these prophecies for keys to the past as...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. LOL! And THAT is why so many have problems “dealing with prophecy!” Seriously?! “Common sense” is just a phrase that means WISDOM (which isn’t so “common,” btw)! The Scriptures MUST make “sense,” “common" or otherwise, because God is a SENSIBLE GOD! Even if He is employing...

    Dan. 9:27

    Shabbat shalom, FlamingZword. You can deny what you read? The “covenant” in Daniel 9 is NOT the “NEW covenant.” The “one Seven” is a seven-year period ... or WOULD have been, had it been allowed to continue. Again, one must keep in mind the REASONS for the 70 Sevens: Daniel 9:24 24 Seventy...

    Dan. 9:27

    Shalom, FlamingZword. That’s a simplistic theory, but you are forgetting two important passages of Scripture: Along with Daniel 9:27, ... Daniel 9:27 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to...

    Why Study Bible Prophecy

    Shalom, pom2014. Nonsense. Who said anything about being excited by death?! I said that we look THROUGH death toward the RESURRECTION! (And, that’s the resurrection of our FLESH, btw!)

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Neither does common sense, apparently.

    Why Study Bible Prophecy

    Shalom, Trekson. The best reason for studying prophecy is to take Yeshua`s warnings to heart. It changes how a person will act and react to situations around him. When one understands the brevity of life and the soon return of our Master, it colors how a person lives from day to day. We should...

    "As" a thief

    (Ignored again.)

    Dan. 9:27

    Shalom, guys. Hey, Trekson, I really have to side with Marcus on this one. Look the word is “cheetsiy,” spelled “chet-tsadday-yod.” With the vowel pointing, it is spelled “cheit-tsere-tsadday-chireq-yod.” Thus, it is pronounced “chay-TSEE” with the “ch” like the “ch” in the Scottish word...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Interesting, but that’s not at ALL what Daniel 9:27 says in the Hebrew! It’s just like an author attending a study on one of his own books incognito and listening to all the banter about what the author might have meant in that book, and then being introduced at the end of the...

    Breaking down the seven churches

    Shalom, rockytopva. With all due respect to you as a brother and to the time you have obviously put into all this, the perspective that these 7 churches represent 7 church ages is not only unfounded but disrespects the original churches within those towns. They were simply 7 towns located in a...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Marcus. No, you’re not thinking. When you see a bird at rest, do you see the wing? (Not unless it’s colored differently,) No, what you see is simply a covering of feathers. One must spread out the wing to see it. Remember: We are talking about an agricultural society ... with CHICKENS...
