    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Wormwood. First, let me just say that I appreciate the trouble you do take to try to understand my point of view. That in itself is refreshing. 1. I won't deny that there are similes and metaphors in Revelation. However, I still stand by my argument that there are several locations in...

    Shalom, Purity. Wow. You said, "Patriotism: Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism—how passionately I hate them! AE." If THAT'S your definition of patriotism, it's no wonder you have a problem with it! That's NOT the patriotism...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Wormwood. That you believe in a literal resurrection is good to hear. However, while there may be some symbolism in Revelation, there's not as much as some would have us believe. As far as the "locusts with hair and teeth," for instance, there is good reason to accept this as a literal...

    Jesus is the Prince of Ezekiels Prophecy

    Shalom, Poppin. Sorry for the delay. (Sometimes, I forget which topics I've been posting in! LOL!) You need to understand the difference between a Messiah and a King. It's the same difference as between a President-Elect and a President! The Scriptures NEVER call Yeshua` a King (except in...

    Shalom, DaDad. Wow, man, you are just ADAMANT that there has to be something to the order of these materials, aren't you? No, buddy, I'm saying that GM was more careful than the man Dani'el! HE was the one who said what is written in Daniel 2:45 and also in Daniel 2:35. Let's look at them...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Wormwood. Really? So, you already have your incorruptible body, eh? No, I've heard a LOT of misuse of the term "resurrection." Even the song "Resurrection" by Nicole Sponberg is such a misuse. You can hear the song and read the lyrics on YouTube...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. Yeah, sorry for getting off-topic a bit. However, I feel patriotism is NOT a bad word and should have been dealt with. The answer to your "question" (without a question mark) is that THERE ISN'T ONE! I believe that Dani'el was just rattling off a list that didn't have any...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, Purity. With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about! Consider the following passage (the context of one of the verses you quoted above): Genesis 21:22-32 22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, Purity. Nonsense! This country was founded upon godly principles, and as long as the objectives of the government are aligned with God's objectives, there is no conflict between the two. It's only when ridiculous men and women get in the way of those godly principles and divide the...

    Daniel 10

    Shalom, DaDad. Aren't we getting enough textbook re-writes without you attempting to re-write history, too? As Caesar said, "Et tu, Brute?" Latin for "And you, Brutus?" as Brutus stabbed him last with his own dagger. Must we get a re-write of Daryavesh (Darius I) the Great from you, too?! He...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." That is our promise to the American Flag and to the one Nation under God - that republic - to be loyal...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Wormwood. No, I'm not forgetting about or leaving out 1 Thessalonians 4. To the contrary, it is a vital link in the scenario for when Yeshua` returns. HOWEVER, it is an ASSUMPTION that the resurrection of the godly and the ungodly happen at the same time. Upon what do you base that...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. Remember: The clay is NOT a separate element in this statue. It is mixed with the iron! It is NOT without the iron mixed in. In fact, when we make steel, we add a very small percentage of carbon to the iron. I don't think it's the same thing, here, but it IS an ALLOY (and...

    Jesus is the Prince of Ezekiels Prophecy

    Shalom, Purity. I'm having some trouble understanding your point, "the court will convene, and his ruling authority will be removed destroyed and abolished forever!" Are you talking about "David" or "Christ?" Whichever, it doesn't matter, because you're still missing something in your scenario...

    The True Israel, He will rule as God

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. First of all, a minor point: your Greek lettering didn't come through well. For me, the Greek of "Israel" came out like "Eonace" with additional accents and markings. I just usually forget about trying to render the Hebrew and Greek lettering and stick with the...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. OH! So THAT'S what you're trying to READ INTO this passage of Scripture! Sorry, dude, but the Scriptures are clear about Dani'el 2's interpretation: Daniel 2:36-43 36 "This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. To that I say, "So?!" There's nothing wrong with a viewpoint when it matches what the Scriptures teach! I will happily admit to being both a millennialist and a chiliast. (Is that the right word?) However, you should know that I'm not one of those who believes that it will all...

    Giants on the Earth

    Shalom, Dan57. Sorry, but that's nonsense. You obviously don't read Hebrew. Those "giants" were "ha-n'filiym," "fellers" of trees! They were not related in any sense to the originals EXCEPT perhaps in OCCUPATION! They were LUMBERJACKS! And, just like in our nation's early, tall tales, it helps...

    Giants on the Earth

    Shalom, Eric. ... AND they all died in the Flood. End of story.

    Retrobyter concerning All Israel???

    Shalom, Arnie. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I also appreciate you working with Poppin. You have a great beginning for how God is working with the Hebrews. Regarding the way God will rescue ALL Isra'el, I'd like you to consider a few things about Zechariah 12. (If you're...
