    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. You're repeating yourself more and more adamantly. Are we finished exploring WHETHER you are speaking the truth? If so, I guess it's time to move on. Salvation has NOTHING DIRECTLY TO DO WITH being justified by God. That's a common fallacy these days, but "salvation" refers to...

    Daniel 10

    Shabbat shalom, Poppin. Nope. PART of it is over, but not all.

    this age, and the age to come

    Shabbat shalom, Poppin. Hmmm.... What happened to "kindness among believers?" This is NOT "heresy," as you so nobly call it. I didn't SAY it was for YOUR sin. Look, we know that the Messiah Yeshua` paid for all; however, the Hebrews - both Jews and the ten-tribe remnant of Isra'el - will be...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. This is a ritual for the nation of Isra'el, and it would appear to be a one-time occurrence in this time period. However, whether it's a once-in-a-thousand-years occurrence or something that happens yearly, what's that to you? If God requires it, then it doesn't matter. It is...

    Another fulfilled prophecy

    Shalom, John 8:32. Okay, I'll bite. How do you know this? Are you still talking about the tribe of Asher from the northern Kingdom of Isra'el? Shalom, Eric. It would be helpful if you learned where the various tribes settled in the Land during the years from Joshua to Hezekiah. Z'vulun...

    Jesus is the Prince of Ezekiels Prophecy

    Shalom, Purity. You're right for the most part; however, don't count David out! He will be there, too! When Yeshua` rules over this earth as King of kings, wouldn't it make sense for Him to put His best men in charge of His kingdom? Who better than one who has been king before? Who better than...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. Are you meshuggah?! Which breaks which, iron or clay? And, I'm NOT talking about modern ceramics! Use what THEY used at the time the prophecy was written! Sheesh! Which will hold up better? An iron sword or a clay pot? Y'know what? Don't bother to answer. I can see you've got...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. Nonsense. Now, you're just grasping at straws. There are a LOT of prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled. Sure there's a thread, and it's in the fabric of amillennialism, and if you pull on it, it will unravel. Not all animal sacrifice is for a sin offering! Qorbanot are...

    Please HELP Dan. 2:45

    Shalom, DaDad. Have you considered something more simple, like the HARDNESS of the material dictating its order? He started with iron and bronze, fairly hard materials, then basic rock-like clay, which as a ball, can have significant hardness. Then, he ended with the malleable metals, silver...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Angelina. Sorry, but what would you have me cut? Shalom, Arnie. Thank you for your encouragement. What if someone THOUGHT he had a "Swiss watch" but didn't know it was a cheap knock-off? He might read on how a Swiss watch is built and realize, "Oh! That's why my watch is always...

    Retrobyter concerning All Israel???

    Shalom, guysmith. Sure, but it may take a paradigm shift. In the first place, remember that Yesha`yahu (Isaiah) prophesied during the latter part of the 700th century B.C. because he starts his book this way: Isaiah 1:1 1 The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. Yes, He is. The current age does not END when Yeshua` returns, though. Instead, it goes on for another 1,000 years before the end of the age. We call this the Millennium, and all that "millennium" means, coming from "mille" and "annum," is a "thousand years." It's the Latin...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, DaDad. Fooey. When have I "repeatedly REFUSED" your "request" DEMAND?! I've given you a COUPLE of websites that have SUMMARIES from NUMEROUS historians! Y'know, I'm with Poppin. You just refuse to be civil; so, I too am bowing out of this conversation. Believe what you want to believe...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. Let's just put this matter to rest right now. There were MANY different kinds of sacrifices performed in the Temple. A few were for sin, but most were for thanksgiving, for praise to God, for the priests' and Levites' food, for celebrations, for rescue, for saying kiddish...

    this age, and the age to come

    Shalom, Poppin. I don't see these two ages as arbitrarily selected, nor do I see them as symbolic in some way. I also do not recognize them as "now and eternity future." Instead, I believe that Kefa (Peter) was the one to give us a DEFINITIVE description of the THREE ages of this earth's...

    All the righteous Jews in Israel will be removed or chased out of Israel during the tribulation peri

    Shalom, Cooter. (Like the turtle?) That's very close to being accurate. I was especially intrigued by the next-to-last sentence, "But as we know in hindsight - this was delayed." Consider two things: First, we know that Yeshua` said that he was going to return TO His people at His second...

    Daniel 12: 11

    ...OR Will Durant is wrong, book or no book! "Let God be true and EVERY MAN a liar!" I know that he probably meant "story" as an "account" or a "narrative," but "story" IMPLIES a "version," a "fiction," a "fabrication," a "LIE!" Random House Webster's College Dictionary (1997) says, story, n...

    the days of vengeance - Luke 21

    Shalom, Poppin. Well, yes and no. "Reincarnation" usually refers to one's inner being ("soul") being placed within another body - a different body, even to the point of a different species of creature. That's not scriptural. However, "RESURRECTION" IS a "reincarnation" of sorts. Your previous...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shabbat shalom, DaDad. And all I ask is why does it have to be "AT ALEXANDER'S DEATH?" Quite frankly, his empire was NOT divided at his death! They were hoping that his unborn child would be a male, and that he could be a SECOND "Alexander the Great!" Of all the men with Alexander at the time...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Why must the choices be "resolve" or "excuse?" I vote neither! With all due respect, I AM resolved! And, I see nothing to resolve in this issue! I don't like dichotomist ultimatums, the old "either...or" scenario. Like Captain Kirk of the Enterprise, I don't like no-win scenarios; I'm always...
