    Ten Reasons I Do not Believe There Will Be "an Antichrist"

    I think it is important to note that your assertions are only one side. 10. There are many names for the anti-Christ in prophecy; he is a central figure to the end-times. The fact that we don't get a single, simple reference to suit us in black and white belies our desire to have it all...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    John doesn't have to say he is in the third Heaven for him to have been in the third heaven. Going on age-old definitions is not a new paradigm. A new way of looking at it is to answer an age-old question: where do we go when we die? The answer is in the Bible.

    So you're a troll... interesting. - as long as we're jumping to conclusions

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Well your age-old, well-worn, not-new paradigm doesn't answer where we go when we die. In Revelation, John, who is IN the third Heaven of the presence of God the Father, sees the Great Multitude arrive with the breaking of the sixth Seal with its attendant "Day of the Lord" sun/moon/star sign...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    You're kidding right? A rock and roll song? Haha, very funny. And so with your opinion on living by the very word of God that proceeds out His mouth, I need not pay any heed to your words? Okay. I am not a fan of ultra-literalism.

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Not to belabor the point, and that is exactly what you're doing to the extreme, but your word meanings still don't constitute a new paradigm. As to the little thing you and I still differ upon after all these years, I am still not persuaded. I don't rely upon Scofield, nor I am limited by how...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Lost in detail. I don't think your word test makes for a new paradigm. And Paul used the term: third Heaven, and John was in the presence of God - and they were contemporaries. I don't think Paul was trying to convey that someone was flying around in my 737 back then.

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Yes, actually I have. As our Lord, Jesus puts us first; He washed the Disciples' feet. He said it was God's wish that none should perish, but that all would have eternal life. Knowing the Church Age to yet unfold, why would He not encourage each person to live like each day was the last...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    I refuse to get into the infantile tit-for-tat exchange with its baseless accusations based on your own thinking with you, whatever your name really is. This has become something that is not edifying, nor is it a wholesome conversation with which to take up bandwidth on a board which is...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Why is leopard versus tiger important? Because if you can't be trusted with a single word - - you can't be trusted with a single verse - and with that - a single passage - and with that - a single chapter - and with that - a single book. Let's start off with your post where you are going to...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Floyd: Thanks again. I just opened your website and I'll have to examine it at length later. I will most certainly let you know if and when I find a way to publish my work. I will attempt to contact you through the message function of this board later with any progress. I expect this to take...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Perhaps I wouldn't like to start with a single verse when I'm putting together whole narratives. Looking at a single verse, which is not the gist of the prophecy, is like being on the Lewis and Clark Expedition and declaring you've figured out the whole lay of the western United States from...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Floyd: Thank-you. There is no "copy" of my book - yet; I still have a lot of work to do on it, besides writing the final chapter. The onus is on me to get God's Word right, and that takes a lot of effort - my example of the responsibility I face when I undertake to comment, analyze, and then...

    The Twelve Tribes of Israel

    Between the iPad and the message board, I can't get the quote function to work... So - Retro: Good point about the New Jerusalem Gates and the twelve tribes. Interesting that Jesus didn't have John list the twelve names. I have for some time, thought that the 144,000 were Christian because...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    DD: This is not about some number sequence. This thread is about the sequence of events as ordered in the Bible. I can think of nothing so inane as numbering the elements in Nebuchadnezzar's statue as you have done, compare them to the firing order of a V-8 and then ask if this manifests some...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Randor: You can just go down the final outline. What verbiage I put in was just to "show my work," so to speak. Eschatology is complicated, and this is a lot shorter than the book. I'm sorry the posts are so long; I couldn't split them up because the message board kept combining consecutive...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Sorry! But compared to 400 hundred pages, I just took you through all the major linear narratives and gave you a complete outline of my Pre-Wrath eschatology. Before I start, thank you for the compliments. I don't want it to be lost in the perpetual debate that I appreciate honest criticism...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    My mistake on Dan 9 #2 - that response was meant for Dan 11's #2 point. In your original Dan 9 #2 - is refuted by Daniel in 9:2 - HE references the fact that he is reading Jeremiah - which had not yet been accepted as Scriptural at that time - as his source book. The seven times seventy comes...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Dan 11 1, While you are correct that v.1 establishes the dating for the vision, the Man in Linen (Jesus) says in 10:14 that it concerns the future yet to come. 2. If you're trying to reference "gabar" in Daniel 9:27, you're relying on a flawed King James Version for that word meaning. 3...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Zec 6:1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black, 3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. 4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are...
