    The Harvest of God. It is now; the End of the age.

    Shalom, Brothertom. No, sir, this is NOT the "End of the Age!" The End of the Age is a SPECIFIC time at the end of the second earth and sky before the creation of the third earth and sky. That will not happen until AFTER the 1000-year period in which haSatan is incarcerated in the pit with an...

    Speculating on ... "the lie" ... (endtimes)

    Shalom, Purity. And, just what is THAT supposed to mean?! I know that it contributes nothing to the meaning of the beast (wild animal), or Yochanan would have mentioned it. I suppose that YOU know the mind of God on this better than I?

    Speculating on ... "the lie" ... (endtimes)

    Shalom, Purity. Correct. Why should they? They are given no specific significance; so, why go inventing one?

    Speculating on ... "the lie" ... (endtimes)

    Shalom, Purity. It doesn't say this creature was "like a lamb"; it says that it has TWO HORNS like a lamb (a firstling ram) because they are curved like those of such a lamb! Nothing more; nothing less. This beast, whatever IT may represent, had two horns. Period. The horns are not said to...

    THE WITCHES & JEZEBEL & SATAN: MY JOURNEY TO THE THRONE ROOM OF HELL.

    Shalom, Brothertom. No, sir, it is NOT! Despite daq's obtuseness, we do NOT live in a Yin-Yang universe! HaSatan (The Enemy) WANTS people to think he is the king of darkness, like God is the king of the light, and has duped Hollywood to portray it so. However, haSatan is nothing more than...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. Getting back to the original post, we should simply understand that "no continuing (Greek: menousan) city" means "no permanent city," and the key idea is in the contrast between the words "HERE" and "WE SEEK ONE TO COME!" The word translated "we seek" is from the Greek word...

    THE WITCHES & JEZEBEL & SATAN: MY JOURNEY TO THE THRONE ROOM OF HELL.

    Shalom, Brothertom. I'm going to make this as simple as I can. HaSatan is NOT in charge of any place called "Hell." IF there were a "throne room" in such a place, it would be occupied ONLY by Adonai YHWH Tseva'owt, Eloheinu, El Elyon, the Lord YHWH of hosts, our God, God Almighty, for HE ALONE...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. Yes,.... but that is not what you have in Dani'el 10:1 nor in Ezra 1:1-2! Those are indeed references to the ruler of Persia who went by the name of Koresh or Cyrus! And, it was HE who was God's instrument in bringing the Jews back to Erets-Isra'el and encouraging them to rebuild...

    No continuing city?

    Shabbat shalom, daq. It takes longer and longer to figure you out, but the wisdom from Elohiym will not fail me. Stringing it all together WITHOUT REFERENCES does a DISSERVICE both to you and your readers. First, your first four sentences quoted Nehemiah 6:12-15, probably from the TUA that you...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. Wow. That's befuddled. So, now Cyrus of Persia is John the Baptist?! JUST LOOK AT THE TEXTS! (I'm using the NIV and the CJB because they are versions that put the thoughts into English in the best flow): Isaiah 44:24-45:7 24 "This is what the Lord says — your Redeemer, who...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, daq, and Shabbat shalom, since I don't know how soon I'll be able to finish this post. Oh, so now you attack the person instead of the problem? Ad hominem arguments have no weight or credibility in a debate, nor are they a good defense. Frankly, such attacks are both unbecoming one who...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, daq. Oh, c'mon. You know and I know that I am not God! That's not what I'm talking about. (So, keep you opinion about the height of my ego to yourself.) I'm only talking about how it would make me feel to twist my words like you're twisting God's words! Fortunately for you, it doesn't...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. You're not so difficult to talk to as is daq. You still have some sensibility to what is being said. Walking by faith does not mean blindly following one's whim or a whimsical thought (revelation). It means to TRUST GOD, REGARDLESS the choices we make! Most don't understand...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, daq. Our God is a God who creates "evil." The problem is not in the word "baaraa'"; it's in one's understanding of "EVIL:" Isaiah 45:7 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. KJV In Hebrew: Yesha`yahuw 45:7 7 Yowtseer...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. If I WERE to see any of that, I'd want my head examined! No, it is a straightforward HISTORIC narrative. It's simply relating to us how that Efrayim and Mnasheh inherited the mountains of Isra'el (that are TODAY called the "West Bank," btw). All of that is CERTAINLY not...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, daq. You ARE straining at that gnat and swallowing a camel! Why is it that every time I read some of the things you write I am reminded of that age-old advice, "Don't make a mountain out of a mole-hill"? I fear that you have the wrong idea about some of these words: baaraa', for...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, daq I'm doing my best to reach through to you before you've entirely wandered away from the simple truths of the Bible. I love you and all my brothers and sisters who, like you, are so tied to analogy and the fictitious house of cards that has been built in the years leading up to our...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shabbat shalom, gentlemen. Actually, neither of you are totally correct. A person is INCOMPLETE WITHOUT his body. The soul is not separate from the body as a spirit may be. We are NOT three parts in one; we are TWO parts into the ONE. We are the body (Hebrew: geviya'; Greek: sooma) combined...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, daq. Ahem. See above in blue. Furthermore, all of the following versions record that... (the man's body of dust) + (the LORD God's breath of life) --> (a living being/creature/person; a living NEFESH or NEPHESH!) If he breathed once, would that have been enough to call him living...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, everyone. Every noun in Hebrew has a gender. It is ALWAYS either masculine or feminine. This has little to do with the gender of the creature or the person associated with the word; however, they may. This is common to some Romance languages, such as Spanish, but what ISN'T so common is...
