    TheGreat Day of the Lord is Near

    Shalom, keras. This is too much to sort out. One must be careful to delineate between the prophecies that are already fulfilled and those which are yet to be fulfilled. Not all of the prophecies in the Bible are still "in play." In fact, MOST have already been fulfilled. However, we can only...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Shalom, Jack. What you said is true about the word "Rapture"; however, "harpazoo" should really be rendered "snatched away," as it also does NOT imply "in an upward direction." Also, I know that John 5:28-29 is used by many to suggest that both resurrections occur on the same day, but these...

    The Great Tribulation

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. Actually, that is the wrong reason for the Rapture proper. The Rapture itself (just the resurrection/transformation and the snatching away to the sky found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, not the additional theory that is often associated with the transformation) has a...

    Israel will be Darkened

    Shalom, Eric. If you're going to insist on basing all this hypothesis on a confused interpretation of a FULFILLED prophetic passage, then you will continue to mess this up. These verses are neither talking about the Antichrist nor are they about the future at all! They were fulfilled in the...

    Propecies concerning "Israel"?

    Shalom, tooldtocare and anyone reading. Nobody seems to have caught this, but Moav (Moab) and Ben-`Amiy (Benammi) were children of Lowt (Lot), not Esav (Esau). I felt I needed to set the record straight.

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Shalom, gentlemen. You're both right and you're both wrong. The problem is in thinking that the "Great Tribulation" is a mere 7 years (or 3.5 years) long. Actually, the "Great Tribulation" is the same time period as the "Time of Ya`aqov's (Jacob's) Trouble." It started in the first century...

    Pre Tribulation rapture

    Shalom, Trekson. Well, the footprint is the same. That is, they would both cover the same geographical area; HOWEVER, the VOLUME is radically different. Remember that this is a 3D city! We're not just talking about the land mass; we're also concerned with BUILDING square footage WITHIN the...

    Pre Tribulation rapture

    Shalom, Trekson. It's really quite simple, but one does have to be aware of the clues: Revelation 21:2 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. KJV First, the Greek words for "out of heaven" in verse 2 are...

    Pre Tribulation rapture

    Shalom, Marcus. And now, YOU'VE forgotten some information that is given in the Scriptures! Revelation 21:10-20 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of...

    Israel will be Darkened

    Shalom, Jack. Well, that's your opinion, but you have no Scriptural authority to make the CLAIM that "it's a direct prophecy of the Antichrist." When you voice such a claim without the Scriptural backing, you're pushing YOUR opinion! All of the rest of this passage WAS fulfilled in the past...

    Israel will be Darkened

    Shalom, Jack. Sorry, bro', but you need to do the research. This verse DANIEL 11:36 is part of the passage about Herod the Great (Dan. 11:36-39). It was HE to whom this messenger from God referred!

    Propecies concerning "Israel"?

    Shalom, tooldtocare. READ IN CONTEXT!!! Ezekiel 21:1-32 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD...

    time line God talking to Israelite's up to today

    Shalom, tooldtocare. You have stumbled onto a pro-Palestinian propaganda page. Let me give you the TRUTH! First of all, Isra'el is a VERY accepting country. They have taken in thousands of refugees down through the years. Many have settled in the foothills of Mount Karmel (Carmel) in Haifa...

    How close are we with the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple?

    Shalom, logabe. Sorry, bro', but you're missing a few details in your scenario. Before Revelation 21:22 can occur, there must first be the fulfillment of Revelation 20:1-15 and earlier! Revelation 17:1-20:8 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels (Greek: heis ek toon hepta aggeloon = "one...

    Israel will be Darkened

    Shalom, sojourner4Christ. And it is this very attitude that encourages so many Christians - people who CLAIM the name of Christ - to be anti-Semitic! WHEN the Beast comes after the two witnesses, He will COME TO Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to defeat them! That does NOT make Yerushalayim the "seat...

    LORD or Lord? KING or King?

    Shalom, Jack. The "Lord's Prayer" was a TEACHING tool. It was an EXAMPLE of how to pray! It was NOT some words that one must pray EXACTLY! To the contrary, Yeshua` was giving ADViCE as to how to talk to our Father! His "Name" is His AUTHORITY to be the One Person who deserves our praise and...

    LORD or Lord? KING or King?

    Shalom, Michael. I've also been very busy lately, and have had to choose to whom I have the time to respond. Therefore, I also apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, we're very much on the same page! That is PRECISELY as I see it; however, I still feel that it is important NOT to...

    How close are we with the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple?

    Shalom, Dan57. You're missing the point, bro'. The Land where the Temple once stood IS UNLAWFULLY occupied by the heathen Dome of the Rock. Jack may be right here! It may be high time for Isra'el to oust the Muslim presence in the persons of those who call themselves "Palestinians"...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Shalom, rjp. Seriously?! After all I've written in this thread, I'm sure that many would say I'm not "heavenly minded" enough!

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Shabbat shalom, Saint. Aware of it and reject it. This is from the Qabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, which started in the twelfth century. It was an attempt to systematize the other teachings of Jewish mysticism and connect to a power by drawing on the Name (haShem). This use of the Name to...
