    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    _____ Shalom, Enoch. I'm glad you're sticking with the Scriptures. There may be "evil people" who make it through the tribulation, but there will also be innocents and gullible people who make it through the tribulation, as well. Those of us who claim the name of the Messiah or the Christ...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, daq. (What does that stand for, by the way? Just curious.) Sure, I understand Hadvariym (Deuteronomy) 11:18 well. Hadvariym 11:18 18 Vsamtem et dvaaray eeleh `al lvavkhem v`al nafshekhem uwqshartem otaam l'owt `al yedkhem vhaayuw lTowTaafot beeyn `eeyneeykhem. JPS Tanakh...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, daq. Deuteronomy 11:18-21 KJV 18. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, [supernal] that they may be as frontlets between your eyes [supernal]. 19. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shabbat shalom, Enoch. No, it's not just you. That's the problem with allegorical thinking; it's at the WHIM of the allegorical thinker! It's just like the prophecies of Madeleine Murray O'Hare or Nostradamus. The wording becomes so NEBULOUS that it can mean anything that the allegorical...

    Why Should the Church Endure the Great Trib?

    Shalom, aspen2. "The Entire Known World was converted to Christianity"??!!! Talk about delusion! They may have "converted" because it was the "in" thing to do when Constantine "converted," but they were HARDLY truly converted to Christianity! Shalom, Trumpeter. I don't know who the author...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, daq. I didn't lose the argument then or now. It was and is YOU who refuses to see the obvious! How could Yeshua` be telling the P'rushiym that the Kingdom of God is WITHIN THEM?! The clear "Doctrine of Messiah" is that HE IS THE KING AND THEREFORE THE HOPE FOR ANY FUTURE KINGDOM...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, Inmate and ChristRoseFromTheDead. You are both correct. There is no night WITHIN the New Jerusalem (Greek: Hierousaleem Kaineen; Hebrew: Yerushalayim Chadashah). Here's some Scriptures that can help: Psalm 89:19-37 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, daq. Sorry, bro', but that's too much "spiritualization" or "allegorizing." It's a literal city with literal foundations. I get so sick and tired of the misinterpretation of Luke 17:20-21! That is NOT what Yeshua` was talking about! The Greek word "entos" CAN mean "within," but not in...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, Polt. You don't know what you're talking about. Judaism, particularly orthodox Judaism, has as one of its tenets a teaching about Mashiach: http://www.jewfaq.org/search.shtml?Keywords=Messiah. Just because they don't recognize Yeshua` as that Mashiach doesn't mean that they aren't...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Shalom, Inmate. Actually, the Millennium is BEFORE the time when the New Jerusalem comes down to earth. The first 1000 years of His Kingdom begin PRIOR to the Great White Throne Judgment, and the Eternal State with the New Jerusalem (Yerushalayim haChadashah) is AFTER the Great White Throne...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, Polt. Well, you're right about Christians driving Muslims away from the Messiah as well, and I'm not "bearing false witness against Christians," bro'; it's public knowledge! I'm bearing no more "false witness" than did Rev. John Foxe in his Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Those who called...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, Polt. Yeah, 1800 years of pressure under those who claim "Jesus Christ" will tend to do that to you. Face it: "Judaism" is simply belief in the OT Torah (the Pentateuch, Genesis through Deuteronomy), Na'aviym (the Prophets, from Isaiah through Malachi), and K'tuviym (the Writings, all...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, daq. You are quite right about Mattityahu's note about this being the POTENTIAL fulfillment of Z'kharyahu's prophecy, BUT was it indeed the fulfillment of ALL that prophecy? NO! He only fulfilled THAT VERSE! This prophecy showed that He was and would be the SAME Messiah, but they did...

    Would the Real Elijah Please Come Forth!

    Shalom, daq. That's quite a mix of languages you have there! Amein - Hebrew, Erchou - Greek, Master - English, and back to Hebrew, Yeshua`! LOL! :lol:

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, veteran. Truly,... Proverbs 10:19 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. KJV I have NEVER heard such a ridiculous claim in all my life! "Jesus of Nazareth was NOT a JEW"?! Are you even listening to your own stupidity?! You even...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, D-Polt I hope you enjoy eating crow, because you're going to have to eat a LOT of it! Moshe or Moishe or Mosheh or Mowsheh is the real name of the person YOU call "Moses." As most Hebrew words and names, they don't transliterate easily into English, especially when English is so...

    Which governments are not going to fall at Christ’s advent?

    Shabbat shalom, domenic. You need to re-read your Bible. God HAS given a Man the right to rule other men, and NOT all governments will fall! Here's just two of MANY Scriptures that support this: Luke 1:30-33 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, Polt. First, probably, just as YOU are a totally different kind of Christian than they were in the first century! Second, there IS archaeological evidence: http://www.threemacs.org/themes/jewish/answers.htm, however, there is also some question as to whether the evidence was first...

    Which governments are not going to fall at Christ’s advent?

    Shalom, Questor. Well, yes ... and, no. SOME of the governments will be governed by haMelekh Yisra'el (the King of Isra'el) right away, but others will take time to fall in line. Yeshua` will be BUILDING His World Empire throughout the Millennium as He subdues His enemies, one by one. The...

    Which governments are not going to fall at Christ’s advent?

    _____ Shalom, Trumpeter. Ummmm.... No. Isaiah 19:1-25 1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 2 And I will set the Egyptians...
