    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. To this I say, SO?! God His Father, YHWH, made Him both Lord (Master) and Christ (Messiah - Anointed to be King). It does NOT say that He made Him KING! Show me ONE PLACE (outside of a prophecy) where Yeshua` is called a King! (And being "born king" is not the same thing as...

    the days of vengeance - Luke 21

    Shalom, Poppin. First of all, you and I have VERY different meanings of "literal!" With the very first mention of "symbolic" thrown in, it is NO LONGER LITERAL! (By the way, if Ezekiel 37 was about the return of the Hebrews from Babylon and Persia, then why didn't they ALL go?! No, that is not...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. It would IF that was the only covenant involved. It's not. There are TWO covenants in play within Yeshua`s first advent. The Davidic covenant, which was already in place and invoked for His Son when YHWH called Yeshua` His Son at His mikvah (baptism), and then the New Covenant...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, DaDad. Oops! Sorry! Guess I missed that! Just the same, my conclusion is the same: The bottom line is that EDWARD Young is JUST AS MUCH a "commentator" as any of the others! Romans 3:4 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, DaDad. Trust the writings of Robert Young at your own peril. If ANYONE has mixed up the Scriptures, HE sure did in his "Young's Literal Translation!" He was a novice in the Hebrew language and may have been purposely misled by the Jewish Rabbi under whom he studied. No one BUT a novice...

    the days of vengeance - Luke 21

    Shalom, Poppin. No, it means that the prophecy was BEGUN in the past but continues through today and will continue into the future until Yeshua` returns! No repeat; it just isn't over, yet! See, I am a PARTIAL preterist; that is, I believe that PART of what Yeshua` said in the Olivet Discourse...

    Ye are my Witnesses

    Shalom, Purity. Whereas I may not agree with Eric, Elijah was "dead and buried" when John the Baptist came in the "spirit of Elijah," too! A measure of caution needs to be implemented when trying to answer another.

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, Poppin. Daniel 9:27 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined...

    “THIS” gospel of the kingdom

    Shalom, brothers. Actually, "Isra'el" means "he is a prince with God." It's a name given to Ya`aqov by the One who wrestled with him all night long! Genesis 32:24-28 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, DaDad. History? How about that of the Makedonikans themselves? (Boldfacing is mine.) This can be found at http://www.historyofmacedonia.org/.

    As Night at Noon Day

    Shalom, DaDad. Hebrews 11:13-16 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that...

    As Night at Noon Day

    Shalom, DaDad. Sure He did, but the New Jerusalem is not a "heavenly body"; it's a CITY which has FOUNDATIONS! Furthermore, it LANDS! Those compass directions that you've mentioned above are referring to the HEMISPHERES in which those countries are found! Tell me: where would you put twelve...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Shalom, Madad21. <Sigh.> Oh, that my brothers and sisters would LOVE to study God's Word! Just read the last paragraph. If Paul is talking about our immortal and incorruptible bodies, how long do YOU think they will last?!

    What is a Christian!

    Shalom, newnature. With all due respect to Steve Atwood, the major problem is that "salvation" is the WRONG WORD. The concept of what God does for us is called "justification by God" in the Scriptures. "Salvation," on the other hand, is a word that is most often used for the "DELIVERANCE" or...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Shalom, Madad21. The first thing one must realize is that the Bible was not written in English, nor was it written in any Western culture. Obviously, right? However, we FORGET along the way in our studies these basic truths. One of the most difficult things to do when studying the Bible is...

    As Night at Noon Day

    Shabbat shalom, DaDad. Typically, no! If it is a sphere in space, such as a planet or a moon, it will have its OWN coordinate system with a set of poles (north and south), depending upon its spin, and directions (east and west) as it relates to that spin! "East" is typically used for "into the...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shabbat shalom, Angelina and Wormwood. Right. Which is why I am writing a book instead on this subject. Sorry about the ridiculously long post. I cut and paste it into a word processor, and it print-previewed out to be 15 pages long. I've inserted my answers within another's post before, but...

    As Night at Noon Day

    Shabbat shalom, DaDad. Well, I don't think so, and here's why: While a cube and a sphere may have width, depth, and height (because they are 3-dimensional objects), the sphere doesn't have a shape that lends itself to the description in verses 10-14, particularly verses 13 and 14: Revelation...

    Fire breathing dragons

    Shalom, Boaz. Doesn't ANYONE consult with a Hebrew dictionary for a Hebrew word?! The word behemowt, is the plural of behemah, which means "animal" in Hebrew. "Behemowt" is said to be "livestock." Here are the entries in Webster's NewWorld Hebrew Dictionary (p. 39): behemah / -ot nf animal...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shabbat shalom, Poppin. If you don't mind, I will respond to this post line-by-line, putting my answers in blue for distinction. (Verses are in green and red.) To be blunt, sometimes you forget the most important thing in a question: the question mark! So, thinking of your responses as a series...
