    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, everyone. It has been brought to my attention that many here have access to study helps that give us the basic vocabulary of Greek and Hebrew, but none of the study helps adequately explain how Hebrew works or give us enough grammatical help. Indeed, Hebrew grammar is a MAJOR hinderance...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. You can't even read what I just wrote! It is "megistos" that is the superlative "biggest" or "greatest," not "megas!" I don't NEED any writings to verify this clear emphatic statement from Yeshua` because it is NOT about AGE! But, hey. Believe what you want to believe; teach what...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. Convenient to neglect verse 27 and the OTHER surrounding verses. I know that the KJV has its own set of problems, but you need to understand that that ONE verse is not the crux of the argument that `Iyov makes! Job 19:23-27 23 I wish my words were written down, that they were...

    Yeshua Says

    Shalom, daq. Fooey. You are off in a little dream world of your own making. You've constructed this IMPOSSIBLE house of cards from the way you BADLY interpret all these GOOD passages of Scripture and are LOCKED INTO YOUR OWN IMAGINATIONS SO DEEPLY that you couldn't find your way out of the maze...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. Hmmm.... Y'know, it's not that we have a problem with your understanding that Yeshua` physically died; what we wonder and have a problem with is if you somehow don't agree that He also physically ROSE AGAIN! What do you do with `Iyov's (Job's) claim? Job 19:23-27 23 Oh that my...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. Don't confuse the picture with the subject of the picture! Not everything in the Scriptures is a picture - just an image or an analogy of the substance; much of it is the SUBSTANCE ITSELF! In fact, what good is the picture without the subject? What good is an analogy based on...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. I don't believe that I said anything about "the elements not 'melting.'" They WILL melt, but does it have to be the WHOLE planet Earth? NO! It only has to be the elements of the crust, and maybe not all of those! Isn't magma and lava "melted elements?" Understand this: when...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. Certainly. However, be aware that many of these conclusions are based upon other conclusions from other verses. It's a bit complicated, but not impossible to see and accept. For starters, Revelation 21: Revelation 21:2-3 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. You should understand that this is one passage that is most likely a song about the future New Jerusalem. There are several places in Scripture that confuse the mountain with the city. This is one of them. Notice that the word "in" in the second line IS NOT REALLY THERE! It...

    Yeshua Says

    Shabbat shalom, daq. Yochanan the Immerser did not go to Patmos. He was in desmooteerion-prison! Wrong Yochanan.

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. Ho hum. Say something that MEANS SOMETHING! Do I have to jump off a cliff to know that it's bad for me? That would SURELY be messed up! Nor do I have to follow your messed-up thinking to know that it, too, is bad for me! Your answers are so heady that you've forgotten how to follow...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. You mix much too much together from unrelated contexts and claim that they go together! PLEASE, don't cook for me! I don't want a pickles and ice cream hot-fudge steak with teriyaki sauce and sauerkraut on top!! You are LEADING PEOPLE ASTRAY! When Yeshua` returns IN HIS...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. You mean that I need to make my translations comply with YOUR interpretation of other portions of Scripture. Let's be honest. I don't have a single problem with how I translate Scripture since it matches what I already know about the Scriptures. What YOU are balking about is how...

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Shalom, daq. Well, I can't speak for Enoch2010, but as far as I'm concerned wherever you are with your "everything's a parable" garbage, I'm going to be there to shed some light on the TRUTH! By the way, you jumped down Trumpeter's throat for QUOTING Amos 3:7 saying that "Timothy" said it, but...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. Thank you for quoting so much. It makes it much easier to see JUST what you truly posted for the first time in your mile-long posts. Frankly, I have a deeper interest in the Truth than you can fathom. For you to deny so much that should be obvious in the Scriptures tells me that...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. I didn't say that you did. What do I care about an "experience?" That's not my point, brother, and YES, I will continually brag on my Father! After all, that's what it means to glorify Him. One cannot glorify Him without making Him famous, and one can only make Him famous by...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. I'm sorry that my response didn't really answer the question for you. Is my way of using the language "to limit the meaning to what's on the surface of the page" 'biblical'? That's a really slanted way to ask the question, isn't it? Yes, it is biblical because it STICKS TO...

    IT'S HARVEST TIME: THE GREAT DIVISION IS UPON US!

    Shalom, all. This whole thread is nonsense. If Paul were here, he'd say to you exactly the same thing he said to the Athenians: Acts 17:22 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. KJV This is why the...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. Yes, I am very opinionated, and sometimes that can make me over-bearing when I know that I'm right. But, you see, it's because the Scriptures are much more definitive than allegorists think, and the more that they rely on allegory, the less credit they give to the Author or...
