    Oh for crying out loud Retro. It's like nothing you can imagine and your imagination, on display above, is pitiful. It has more problems than Obamacare. The first earth has passed away John said. You give the answer in the Greek and then spin it to suit yourself. God has a pattern already...

    Why The Pre Trib Rapture Is God's Judgment On His House First

    You can believe what you like, but in order for what you believe to be true, then the first Jewish Revolt, which didn't add up to even the status of conflict of outright war during the Pax Romana, was worse than WWII and the Holocaust... which is wasn't. I am always wary when someone tells me...

    Why The Pre Trib Rapture Is God's Judgment On His House First

    Jesus said the Great Tribulation was a specific and unique time that begins at the midpoint abomination as mentioned by Daniel, and that it "shortened" i.e., ends abruptly (and so would not last the length of the rest of the one 'seven') so that it effectively ends with the sun/moon/star event...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Rev 13:14-17. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    I have a covenant with my neighborhood and they sure aren't angelic.

    The Worst Travel Agent In History

    Daniel chapter nine: This chapter lays down an extremely important timeline: the seventy ‘sevens’ in Daniel 9:24-27. The first verse is examined in detail in chapter four of this book as it delves into God’s purpose in having the seventy ‘sevens.’ Through word study of the verbs in the first...

    A "column" of air loses one quarter of its pressure at 7250 feet. (About a mile and a half) A "column" of air loses half it's pressure at 18,000 feet. (A little more than 3 miles) A "column" of air loses three quarters of its pressure at 34,000 feet. (A little more than 5 miles) People...

    The Worst Travel Agent In History

    Gaps The other aspect is while certain prophetic passages present an orderly timeline of events in the order they occur, having two events in the correct order does not negate other events from occurring in between. That is, there can be gaps in prophesy. This brings up another aspect of...

    Well it's very simple to disagree with you Retro because your fanciful answers are always constrained within a limited box of your own thinking. This earth is done away with entirely. Whatever the new earth is, it is beyond your meager comprehension so as to fit a structure 1500 miles long...

    A Question About The Restrainer

    Rather than be "cured" of their sin following their captivity in Babylon, coming under a succession of ruling Kingdoms as portrayed by the dream God gave Nebuchadnezzar which Daniel interpreted in chapter 2 of his book; the Jews were alternately "Hellenized" under the Greeks and took to altering...

    Mount Zion is on this earth, not the New Earth. Any labored, linguistic contortion you'd pretzel Scripture into does not fit to the New Jerusalem. Your equation is all wrong. And still, no matter how you cut it; it's 1500 miles HIGH and space starts at 50 miles... Between a pyramid, because...

    Retro, again, you are misapplying verses to mean something you want to make the New Jerusalem into. You have a preconceived notion which does not square with the text and you will only argue incessantly and never waver no matter the evidence against what you advocate. its length and width and...

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

    I am doing some things now to prepare my family for a time when we cannot buy or sell. However, there is no need to panic now, or act like it's all gonna end this week, this month, next month, this year, next year, or anytime that is less than three and a half years from now. From my study...

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

    I can't say "know" all yet, but as science is the study of God's creation; I think it behooves us to better understand what is happening in the cosmos. We're still learning, and "knowledge will increase" in the end-times. What we do with it is what is more important; just 'knowing' may be...

    The model for the city is the Most Holy Place which originally was 15 cubits cubed. It's a new earth: when God creates again, the old rules you know, like Boyles' Law and the second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy, need not be in place. God is the creator and I'm sure a more elegant solution...

    Retro: doing more linguistic gymnastics to stay on this piece of dirt? I also liked your "scientific" explanation how a cubic building 1500 miles by 1500 miles could "sit" on the earth and how you could still breath air at 14.7 psi 1500 miles up on this old earth you want to keep a hold of.

    By the very nature of your question, you're supposing you're using the Bible correctly - and you are putting yourself in the superior teaching position and myself as the poor student who 'doesn't believe.' Bovine blossoms. If you are going to teach, teach rightly. What you have given for...

    Ecc 1:4, taken vastly out of context, Solomon, the teacher, is starting with naturally occurring "facts" in delving into human nature: the solid earth; the rising and setting of heavenly bodies; air currents and the evaporation of water. This is not a declaration from God that the earth will...
