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

    Shalom, Purity. Well, because that's the only other time you see the word in the recorded life of Avraham. I would think that the 'ayil-ram had some significance to Avraham. It's the one animal of the five that were sacrificed in the b'rit-covenant that God made with Avraham closest in size to...

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

    Shalom, daq. I'm sorry, but you do NOT speak for Yeshua`! You don't even know what dispensationalism is; so, you have no right to accuse me of it. Frankly, I am NOT a dispensationalist, and if you knew what it was, you'd know I couldn't be one of them. So, blowm piykhaa! I don't "subvert the...

    Shalom, daq. This account IS of David and, yes, it has NO OTHER VALUE than what we can learn NOT to do as either a Sheva` ("Sheba" the man) or a Yow`aav ("Joab," David's nephew). You are simply pretending that it DOES have some other value! You blow Galatians 4:24 WAY out of proportion and...

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

    Shalom, daq, ... IF you can be civil. Which is ANOTHER good reason for rejecting the LXX! In Greek, there are the masculine, feminine and NEUTER genders; in Hebrew, there's only the two: masculine and feminine genders. Aramaic, like its cousin Hebrew, only has the two genders. Unfortunately...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Lo' shalom, daq. Sorry, but there's just too much on which we disagree not to break this up; therefore, my words are in light purple:

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

    Lo' shalom, daq. Humph! You can't even keep your "Sheba's" straight!

    Yeshua Says

    Lo' shalom, daq. Here's the REAL story you've quoted. Shall we count how many changes you've made to the Holy Word of God? No, maybe not; there's too many to count! 2 Samuel 20:1-22 1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he...

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

    Shalom, Purity. The answer is in the word "'ayil": OT:352 'ayil (ah'-yil); from the same as OT:193; properly, strength; hence, anything strong; specifically a chief (politically); also a ram (from his strength); a pilaster (as a strong support); an oak or other strong tree: KJV - mighty...

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

    Lo' shalom, daq. Only YOU would laugh about someone being beheaded or take pleasure in it.

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. It's simple really; I'm HIS disciple, NOT YOURS! And, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! I believe you're WAY OFF the bubble, and you've never given me any sort of reason to think otherwise! If anything, you've CONFIRMED my suspicions over and over again! And, you make ME say it again and...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. 2 Chronicles 36:14-16 14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. Now, you're just being foolish. Ezra is CERTAINLY about the rulers of Persia for THEY ARE NAMED!!! Those who do not learn from history are DOOMED to repeat it! And, those who do not learn that the Scriptures contain finished prophecies in history are doomed to think they must be...

    No continuing city?

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. Are you talking to me or to dragonfly or ...? I don't feel like stepping in where I'm not needed.

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. Okay, I'm good with that. It's true that some things that are TRULY deep in the sense of how important they are to the message of God's justification of people may be missed for the desire to concoct "deeper" meanings that aren't really there, but as long as Hebrews is...

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

    Shalom, Purity. Sure! Just look at the first occurrence of the word "qeren" meaning "horn": Genesis 22:1-14 1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac...

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

    Shalom, Purity. I do not believe in the allegorical interpretation of the Bible. I believe in the grammatical-historical interpretation of the Bible. As such, ONLY in those passages where a "horn" is CLEARLY presented as an allegory will I take the "horn" to be an allegory, and I don't go...

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

    Shalom, Purity. Sure. Let's start with a few basic facts: Starting in the Tanakh (the OT), the Hebrew word is qeren and it means an a horn of keratin or bone or ivory that grows out from the skull of certain animals. It's very basic. OT:7160 qaran (kaw-ran'); a primitive root; to push or...

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

    Shalom, Purity. I didn't say that the horns had no meaning; I said that they were part of the description of the beast being described that DOES have meaning! Why should additional meanings be added when most Christians have absolutely NO CLUE as to how the Scriptures should even be...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. There ARE deep matters discussed in Hebrews; however, don't think of them as "deep" as daq would suggest! They are deep in a normative, logical progression of the theme of the book! PLEASE don't go crazy with your "deepness"; it's not necessary! In fact, it's self deceptive...

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

    Shalom, Purity. Therefore, the answer to my question is also no, right?
