    Seeing Signs....Spiritually

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. And thank you for letting me know that I'm helping you to think and study God's Word. However, the "coming in the clouds" did not happen in 70 A.D. Acts 1:6-12 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again...

    Seeing Signs....Spiritually

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. Wrong part of the verse upon which to concentrate. Concentrate on the SECOND part of the verse! Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of...

    Revelation was written during Nero's reign before 70AD

    Shalom, veteran. First of all, if you want to connect the words in Daniel 9:27 to "setting up abomination idols," then it would have to be the SELF-IDOLIZATION of the Scribes and Pharisees, for THAT is the "overspreading of abominations" to which Yeshua` referred. Matthew 23 is FULL of His...

    Great Signs from the Heaven have Begun

    Shalom, Eric. This portion of Z'kharyahu's prophecy is partially fulfilled because the coming of the Messiah, the Advent, was SPLIT into TWO Advents or Comings when Yeshua` said, "your house is left unto you DESOLATE." This fulfilled the need for two sets of Messianic prophecies. Yeshua` during...

    Seeing Signs....Spiritually

    Shalom, whirlwind. I was re-reading this post, and the more I think about it, I simply MUST disagree. Eastern mysticism uses the Yin-Yang philosophy, and haSatan would like EVERYONE to believe that he is the opposite power to God, but he is NOT! He will suffer in the Lake of Burning Sulfur the...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, veteran. No, Yeshua`s words were NOT quoting from Daniel 11:31 but from Daniel 9:27! And, that had to do with the RESULT of the desolation that their rejection of the King brought upon themselves when Yeshua left them "DESOLATE" in Matthew 23:38! The culmination of that desolation...

    The book of Revelation summed up in 4 words

    Shalom, Arnie. Yeah, it happens ... once in a blue moon!

    Seeing Signs....Spiritually

    Shalom, Dodo_David. Don't feel too badly. I went through the same thing earlier with daq. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how much you try to attack the problem instead of the person, if that person still feels you are attacking him (or her). How does one handle such a situation if the person...

    The book of Revelation summed up in 4 words

    Shabbat shalom, Angelina. (Said like one of Peter Pan's "lost boys,") Yeshua`s gots wings?!

    Seeing Signs....Spiritually

    Shalom, whirlwind. Hmmm.... Why does the moon have to represent haSatan? Why can't the moon represent the "Church?" I mean after all, who reflects the light of the "Sun of Righteousness" to a darkened world? And, if as you say, the stars represent the angels, but to use Revelation 1:20...

    Facing the music

    Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. Yeah, sorry about that. Don't mean to steal your thunder.

    Revelation was written during Nero's reign before 70AD

    Shalom, veteran. They may be roughly "linked together," but that doesn't mean that they are "linked" by the "abomination of desolation event!" That's just NUTS! They are "linked" on the WORDS "abomination" and "abominations" and "abominable" and "desolate" and "desolation" because good, fairly...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Shalom, veteran, davewatchman, and Guestman. House of cards, gentlemen, house of cards! Why discuss the particulars when you don't have the right premises upon which those particulars depend? The numbers to which you refer in Daniel 12 go back to the desecration of the Temple performed by the...

    Facing the music

    Shalom, dragonfly. With all due respect, I think you have misunderstood Hart a little yourself. What he was saying is that the "papacy" itself is among the "non-biblical doctrines." Therefore, the first "protestants" that he is talking about is the papal-oriented "Roman Church" that substituted...

    Great Signs from the Heaven have Begun

    Shalom, Eric. Once again, "those who don't learn from history are doomed to think that prophecy must be yet fulfilled." (Which essentially means that "the fulfillment of prophecy must be REPEATED!") Daniel 11 is already FULFILLED! The words of Daniel 11 start with the last four notable kings...

    Great Signs from the Heaven have Begun

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. No, you're not going to the history books. The only astronomical event that Josephus recorded was the appearance of Halley's Comet in 66 A.D. This was in conjunction with the appearance of the Kaavowd (the Glory) of God's Sh'kinah (Presence), which many interpreted at the...

    Great Signs from the Heaven have Begun

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. Sorry, bro', but the Preterist view on Matthew 24 (and 25), Mark 13, and Luke 21 is INSUFFICIENT to explain it all away! While I would agree with you that verses that use the pronouns "ye" and "you," including the verbs that use the second-person understood, referred to the...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, again, everyone. This time, Matthew 5 is considerably well known as the first chapter of Yeshua`s "Sermon on the Mount," particularly, the "Beatitudes." I'm going to start in the last few verses of chapter 4 and run them into chapter 5 in the Complete Jewish Bible: Matthew 4:23-5:48...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, everyone. Sorry about the mess. It's ... handled ... now. Feel free to read whatever whirlwind writes, but I will be ignoring him from now on. He will likely retaliate, but I'm pressing on. Let's look at Matthew 4: Matthew 4:1-11 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. You said, "Your thread....so you want to write whatever YOU think is correct and the heck with anyone else, which, in this case...would include the Word of the Lord? My goodness, perhaps you should just write your own Bible...lots of folks have and lots of them are...
