    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. And, you STILL have no Scriptural proof that “the Temple’s Most Holy Place [is] a template for the New Jerusalem."

    Dan. 9:27

    Shalom, Phoneman777. Actually, you can. See, Yeshua` (Jesus) Himself split the final Seven in half: Matthew 23:37-39 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. Just one verse: Revelation 21:22 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. KJV You’re wrong to assume that the city is the Temple.

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. Brother, you need to understand that the Scriptures will be fulfilled exactly as stated by the Ruach haQodesh Elohiym (the Holy Spirit of God) through our brother, Yochanan (John). Not primarily in English, but in the Greek (and when we can find the evidence, the Hebrew before...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Finally, I’m continuing on.... Regarding certain aspects of the “spirit”, I said: “Now, would YOU like to tell me just what do these verses mean, since you don’t like my understanding of them?” You said, 'I would say look at the other definitions in the Strong’s for each...

    Heaven

    Shabbat shalom, Marcus. (And I DO mean have a "Sabbath of peace," bro’.) Bitterness does not become you, my brother! First of all, I can see that much of your denial is simply a matter of perspective. The Scriptures NOWHERE says that “this earth is done away with entirely.” But then, we ALL...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. <Sigh.> Okay, let’s try to untwist the pretzel of Scripture knowledge that YOU have twisted for yourself. First, what’s the big deal about the city 1,500 miles high extending beyond the 50-mile limit of space? It changes NOTHING! Why is that a problem for you? How does that...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. EVERY three-dimensional object has length, width, and depth (or height). Even a pyramid, which is also a 3-D object, has a length (the distance of either the north or south wall at its base), a width (the distance of either the east or west wall at its base), and a height (the...

    The New Heaven and New Earth

    Shalom, rockytopva. Just a few things: First, E = mc2 is just a relationship between the quantities of mass and the quantities of energy that can be measured before and after the conversion of mass into energy, such as in a nuclear power plant or a nuclear explosion. (The quantity “c” is...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. IF the model for the city was the Most Holy Place, then what did the Holy Place (where the menorah and the table of show bread were) represent? What did the inner Temple court represent? What did the outer Temple court represent? I would rather think that the OLD Yerushalayim...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. First, it’s not a “cubic building” but a pyramidal building. It’s the "MOUNTAIN of the Lord’s House.” (Isa. 2:2) Second, such a structure COULD sit on the earth with “foundations” (Greek: themelioi) sunk into the surface of the earth, hardened by the Fire. (Heb. 11:10; 2 Pet...

    Heaven

    Shalom, ezekiel. And, this is where understanding that “heaven” means the “sky” comes in. And, we might throw in Marcus’ humor, as well. “Q" (from Star Trek: Next Generation) was RIGHT! We DO call our planet “dirt” because that is what “earth” means! For “heaven and earth” to “pass away” (which...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Marcus. Do you believe the Scriptures or don’t you? Y’know, we as a people never had a problem with calling our “planet,” “earth,” before space exploration.

    Heaven

    Shalom, ezekiel. Ecclesiastes 1:4 4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. KJV Psalm 125:1-2 125 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. I’m going to lump certain points together into one, because as I see it, they are all related: The nature of FAITH: (Heb. 11:1) Your words: 'I’m really beginning to question whether you have any “heart” knowledge of God or not. I think you need to get out of your head...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shabbat shalom, ATP. Obviously, you’ve not been following along. Furthermore, we’re IN the “time of the end,” and have been since the first century! Hebrews 9:24-26 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now...

    Revelation and biblical metaphors

    Shalom, rockytopva. I’m with Trekson on this one. We don’t need variety in messages; we need CONSISTENCY in Scriptural teaching! 2 Timothy 4:1-4 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach...

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

    Shalom, keras. Not exactly. Here’s some simple statements from Wikipedia: And,... So, you see, they are NOT the same thing: A CME is an ejection of MASS from the sun; a solar flare is an ENERGY release. The more disruptive of the two to earth is a solar flare. However, allow me to ask a...

    Famine Coming Soon ?

    Shalom, rockytopva. Sorry, bro’, but for all the work you’ve obviously put into this post, it’s nonsense. Even in Revelation, Yeshua` (Jesus) already GAVE us the interpretation of the seven stars and the seven menorahs! And, your interpretations do not match His! Also, you - as so many others...

    Does anyone still believe in a Resurrection?

    Shalom, keras. Thanks, but again, I must caution you on two points: First, the “fire from the sun” is not necessary because there will be “fire from the Son.” Second, what makes you think that there will be a "7-year peace treaty?” That nonsense usually comes from misreading Daniel 9; is that...
