    Ez. 40-44

    Shalom, Trekson. You said, “Could at some point a third millennial temple be built to these specs? Absolutely, but this does explain the animal sacrifices and sin offerings described there as being for the second temple as they will have no place in the millennium. Zerubbabel was the high...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shabbat shalom, Marcus. You said, “No, Retro, it's the matter that I have looked at your declarations which are the foundation of your conclusions and I reject the very basis for your eschatology. I note that you are entirely on your own regarding your take on the language. It's not so much a...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Marcus. We don’t? Are you saying we should just agree to disagree and move on? OR, are you saying, “Don’t bother me with an explanation; my mind’s made up”? The beauty of the precepts I accept DO fit well together! Indeed, they answer many of the questions others still have with...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Marcus. Yeah, but those Greeks never tried to revive the Koine Greek as a living language. Hebrew HAS been revived and is alive again! This has NEVER happened before in human history, that a dead language should be revived as a conversational language! Usually, dead languages, like...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, sojourner4Christ. First, you don’t know Isaac H. Hall any more than I do. There IS another possibility! (Shhhh...! He found historical evidence of such origins and errors in the KJAV.) You just can’t handle such an explanation. And, that’s too bad. Second, you are assuming much about...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Marcus. Have you even BOTHERED to learn Hebrew?! It is my second language! What do I care what some “professor of Bible languages and literature” says?! Try LIVING with the language, for a change! I KNOW that this word means “to be STRONG!” (I use it quite frequently!) The author(s) of...

    The Abomination of Desolation

    Shalom, gentlemen. What makes a sacrifice a SACRIFICE? A dictionary entry says,... sacrifice |ˈsakrəˌfīs| noun an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure: they offer sacrifices to the spirits | the...

    Isaiah reveals what is to be

    Shalom, keras. Please forgive the vulgarity, but I’m trying to get my point across: Reusing fulfilled prophecies is like trying to reuse dirty Kleenex tissues! They are FULFILLED Scripture that are now "written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the age are come!” All they now serve to...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, Trekson. Regarding Daniel 9:26-27: The first thing one must understand is simple grammar, preferably from the Hebrew, since the passage was originally written in Hebrew, but in English as well. Here’s the Hebrew transliterated: Dani’el 9:26-27 26 V’achareey hashaaVu`iym shishiym...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shalom, sojourner4Christ. Oh, so that’s why we’ve been given all this information about Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek? God saw fit to give us this information because “the Lord has determined we do not need” it? Are you CRAZY?! As the saying used to go, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!"...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Shabbat shalom, sojourner4Christ. A couple of things you should think about: First, remember that NO language is sufficient to tell all of Yeshua`s (Jesus’) works. (John 21:25) Second, no language translates into another language perfectly one-to-one. One word in Hebrew, for example, might...

    The Rapture placement of Revelation 16:15 revealed

    Shalom, boldncourageous. No worries. See, I believe that ALL theological viewpoints are ultimately “fiction.” ONLY the Scriptures are reality. It’s our INTERPRETATIONS of those Scriptures that give rise to (often ridiculous) opinions. Frankly, it is NOT the same message as that sent to the...

    The Rapture placement of Revelation 16:15 revealed

    Shalom, boldncourageous and Trekson. Guys, that verse has NOTHING to do with the “Rapture!” PERIOD! Look at its context: Revelation 16:12-17 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east...

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

    Shalom, keras. No, that’s not true! That’s not a “well known and accepted belief”; that’s a well known and misrepresented fallacy! I tried the reasoning approach; now, let’s try a more direct attempt: This is the TRUE rule: It’s called the Law of ... This is from Bible PROPHECY For...

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

    Shalom, keras. No. This idea that prophecies can be fulfilled more than once is a MAJOR fallacy! Consider this for a moment: If a prophecy can be fulfilled more than once, HOW DOES ONE KNOW WHEN THAT PROPHECY HAS REALLY BEEN FULFILLED?! And yet, the Israelites were supposed to VERIFY the...

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

    Shalom, keras. See, this is just what I’ve been talking about. Ezekiel 7:14 is NOT about our future; it was about ISRA’EL’S FUTURE before and during the Captivity to Babylon! Just go back to previous chapters, chapter by chapter, to see that he hasn’t changed topics and look at Ezekiel 1:1ff...

    Daniel 12:1 Matt 13:36 Zechariah 13 1 Thessalonians 4:17

    Shalom, Trekson. Y’know, that’s not the same “great tribulation” as Yeshua` talked about in the Olivet Discourse, right? Unless, of course, you’re totally twisting the Olivet Discourse to make it fit Revelation 12:17, or vice versa. So, which is it? Are they the same with twisting, or are there...

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

    Shalom, Marcus. And thus, again without reading through the information, you will continue to ignore my points ... to your own false conclusions. Fine. “A man convinced against his will...." ===== Shalom, keras. You’ve misunderstood what I said somehow. I never said that the “princes” were...

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

    Shalom, Marcus. Sure. The first thing one must understand is simple grammar, preferably from the Hebrew, since the passage was originally written in Hebrew, but in English as well. Here’s the Hebrew transliterated: Dani’el 9:26-27 26 V’achareey hashaaVu`iym shishiym uwshnayim yikaareet...

    Revelation chapters 13-16 - Sequence of Events

    Shalom, Marcus. Have you considered that the 1000-year Day of the Lord IS that which is called the Millennium?
