    Heavenly trumps?

    Shalom, Michael. There are actually four different blasts that are played on a shofar, either the ram's horn shofar or the greater Kudu antelope's horn shofar: 1. Teqiy`ah - a loud blast on a single note 2. SheVariym - three short blasts of a single note 3. Teruw`ah - a quaver of nine blasts in...

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

    Shalom, Keras. <Sigh.> I will try to do better, but have you learned nothing in your study of the "Messiah's Return?" His Return is a two-pronged return: (1) Not only will He benefit those who are His, but He SHAMES them for having rejected Him in the first place! That's why all the families of...

    If you had to put together a prophetical timeline

    Shalom, ATP. Wow. You would do better if you focused more on what happens between 19 and 20 than points 1 through 19! Consider this: Even if it was true that the 7-year period is yet to happen, what is seven years compared to a THOUSAND YEARS?! What happens during that thousand-year period...

    Third Temple

    Shalom, Zeke. That’s an interesting li’l tirade; however, the Scriptures STILL promise a third (and a fourth) Temple. Just because YOU don’t like it doesn’t mean that they won’t be built.

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Shalom, Marcus. Just one point for now: Yeshua` didn’t say “the Great Tribulation will be cut short.” He said, Matthew 24:22 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. KJV He was not talking about the...

    The Book Of Enock

    Shalom, The Barrd. Haven’t you heard about the TANAKH (the Torah [Instruction], Navi’iym [Prophets], and Ketuviym [Writings])?! Paulos WAS talking about the Bible, the JEWISH Bible, just not the NT writings (which were works in progress). The TANAKH NEVER included the Book of Chanokh (Enoch)...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Shalom, mjrhealth. Just a simple point: Kefa is a Hebrew name that means something unexpected: NT:2786 Keefas (kay-fas'); of Aramaic origin [compare OT:3710]; the Rock; Cephas (i.e. Kefa), a surname of Peter: KJV - Cephas. OT:3710 keef (kafe); from OT:3721; a hollow rock: KJV - rock...

    The Sons Of God

    Shalom, blessedhope. There have been traditionally three views held (mine makes a fourth) on this Genesis 6:1-4 passage: According to the PC Study Bible software, of six Bible commentaries--Wycliffe Bible Commentary; Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament; Jamieson, Fausset, and...

    Romanism, Arminianism and Calvinism.

    Shalom, blessedhope. Sorry, but you are mistaken about the “perseverance of the saints.” It’s not OUR perseverance in doing what is right; it’s GOD’S perseverance in keeping us despite our LACK of doing what is right. A “saint” (despite what the RCC says) is a “holy one.” And, a “holy one” is...

    The Thousand years

    Shabbat shalom, ATP. (Sorry this is so late in coming.) “Everyone?” Really?! No, IT DOESN’T WORK! I can’t say it enough times or loud enough to emphasize how completely bizarre this 360-day-year nonsense is! The reason why these time periods in Rev. 11:2-3, 12:6, 12:14, and 13:5 are said...

    Can The State of Israel be Destroyed!

    Shalom, blessedhope. Technically, you’re all three correct. The PEOPLE of Israel - the CHILDREN of Israel (or Ya`aqov or Jacob) - shall not be destroyed (a remnant shall remain), but the STATE of Israel CAN be destroyed once again for their unbelief and their rejection of God’s Mashiach...

    The Thousand years

    Shalom, toknowthetruth. IF the Babylonians used a 360-day year, wouldn’t there be records of such? And, if they actually did, they would have experienced the same discrepancy that any people would have between the length of their “year” and the actual solar year cycle! Losing 5.25 days per year...

    The Thousand years

    Shalom, ATP. I’m curious: Why did you include Genesis 6:3? That’s not talking about a limit on a person’s age, y'know; it was to inform Noach how long it would be until the Flood! He was being told how long he would have to get the box (ark) built! This is a reference to the coming Flood...

    The Thousand years

    Shalom, Straightshot. No. One day does NOT always mean one literal 24-hour day. Sometimes, it is talking about the DAYLIGHT hours, approximately 12 hours. Furthermore, I can’t stress enough the HORRIBLE ERROR of claiming a 360-day year, or a 30-day month, for that matter! This is so common an...

    2015 Fall Blood Moon

    Shalom, pom2014. Really? I thought we had a fake pom2014!

    From what region does the beast ascend out of the pit?

    Shabbat shalom, pom2014. LOL! Who says that I BOTHER to know such things? No, I rest in the knowledge that GOD knows what will happen and controls when it will happen. You’ve mixed me up with someone else. Have a pleasant Shabbat (Sabbath), what’s left of it, and a good Yowm Rish’own (First Day...

    The Word "Antichrist" Defined: Courtesy of Strong's # 473

    Shalom, Phoneman777. Sorry, bro’, but you don’t have the definition of “Christ” right. “Christ” is an English transliteration of the Greek word “christos,” spelled chi-rho-iota-sigma-tau-omicron-s(t)sigma. The word means “an anointed (one)” and is a translation of the Hebrew word “maashiyach,”...

    From what region does the beast ascend out of the pit?

    Shalom, pom2014. Okay, I’ll bite. Just what might those things be that only God knows anything about (which means you don’t know them, either)? I’m not trying to “support a point that I’m told I won’t know.” (Not that I even know what you are TALKING ABOUT!)

    From what region does the beast ascend out of the pit?

    Shalom, pom2014. Well, if that’s your attitude, why do you even bother with this site? You’re so negative, caustic, and disillusioned, that I wonder if anything said would help!

    From what region does the beast ascend out of the pit?

    Shalom, again, BlackManINC. I should also like to mention that you have made a connection between the “king of the locusts” and the “beast that rises from the earth” that should NOT have been made. What? You think that the only creatures within the earth are these locusts? You’re as bad as...
