    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shabbat shalom, all! That's PURDY! Useless, but PURDY!

    The MAN and His Number 666

    Shabbat shalom, terry. I did a little research for you and found this: You can find it at http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/gladiators/nero.html. The article goes into much more. It's a pretty good read, but that's how Neron Kaesar in Hebrew: "Nrwn Qsr" can be calculated...

    Satan the Arch-deceiver

    Shabbat shalom, Raeneske. As can be determined by Yochanan's (John's) letters, the "antichrist" is an ATTITUDE, not a person nor a kingdom, and those who have this attitude are called "many antichrists," which were found even in the first century! There are quite a few people who teach against...

    Changed At The Twinkling Of An Eye

    Shabbat shalom, kaoticprofit. Ha! Ha! Actually "inspire" comes from the Latin "in-" + "spirare," meaning "to breathe in," just as "expire" comes from the Latin "ex-" + spirare," meaning "to breathe out." We just shorten "inspired by God" to "inspired." Of course, YOUR hermeneutic is flawless...

    Changed At The Twinkling Of An Eye

    Shalom, veteran. I DO like this thread. I'm sorry that I missed it before. You're right that much of what we read in the B'riyt Chadashah (the NT), particularly in the prophetic book of Revelation, came from the Tanakh (the OT). Perhaps, it would warrant a study into what all IS quoted from the...

    the Church in the Tribulation

    Shalom, Pharmboy. Sorry, but that's just too much allegorical thinking. The "Dragon" (Greek: "drakoon" = "lizard; reptile") "represents" haSatan, the Enemy himself, not "death!" Furthermore, "image" (Greek: "eikoon" = "likeness; statue") in Revelation isn't ANYTHING like the "image of God" in...

    A Pseudo Christ In Jerusalem

    Shalom, Arnie. So? Don't you think it would be a GOOD thing to go back and review just what it is in the Scriptures that we're discussing? Just get over it! Look, many resort to theology instead of Scripture, but the Scripture should govern/control our theology, not the other way around...

    A Pseudo Christ In Jerusalem

    Shalom, terry. It's a good start, but then one must ask other questions, like, "Is 'the Beast' a person?" "Is 'the Beast' an organization?" "Is 'the Beast' a country?" "Is 'the Beast' an idea or a system?" The Greek word translated as "beast" in Revelation 13:1-9 is "theerion," the diminutive...

    A Pseudo Christ In Jerusalem

    Shalom, veteran. ... When I said, "Check a Greek New Testament before making silly statements like 'Jesus gave us a specific warning with that. The phrase "false Christs" is the sole Greek word pseudochristos made up from two Greek words, 'pseudo' (false) and 'Christos' (Christ). The context is...

    The Significance of the 144,000

    Shalom, Arnie Manitoba. And, not copying and pasting any Bible in your post is actually "BETTER"?! I would rather remind someone of a Scripture verse than have someone listen solely to my words. I would rather quote Scripture than just remind someone about a Scripture verse or passage, and I...

    The Assyrian Anti-christ

    Shalom, veteran. You all really need to focus on reading the context of the verses you use and interpret for yourselves. Let the Scriptures speak for themselves! LISTEN to what the prophets are actually saying! Quit reading into the Scriptures things you'd like for them to be saying! Isaiah...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. Actually, I believe that the woman IS Isra'el. The symbolism that is found in the description of the woman reflects back to Yosef's dreams and the imagery regarding his father, Isra'el, his step-mother, him and his brothers. I believe the "all nations" are how the Greek...

    The Feast of Tabernacles..... Picture of the Rapture?

    Shalom, afaithfulone4u. I'm sorry, but I've gotta say that I think you have it completely BACKWARDS! The holiday is not about tearing down the booths; it's about BUILDING the booths and tabernacling with each other! It's a CAMPING TRIP! To "tabernacle" means to "dwell in a tent," and that is...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Hi, terry, and shalom! LOL! Are you making a connection between Muslims and cats? I think cats might be offended!

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, Trekson. And, I mostly agree with you, but I can only say "mostly" because you haven't yet seen that "all Isra'el" shall be a nation "born at once" when they SEE the Messiah coming, as predicted, and rescuing them from their enemies! "Seeing is believing!" Isaiah 66:5-16 5 Hear the...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, guys. Look, I've not "failed" to read anything in the Scriptures, nor did I stop believing them in their entirety. HOWEVER, you need to know that there are Scriptures to which YOU haven't listened, starting with the REST of the treatise of Paul to the Romans. Trekson, I discontinued...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. So? That only serves to prove my point! The "ten people from all languages and nations" are the unbelieving Gentiles. The "one Jew" is a member of the group of Isra'elis that is now a subject of the Messiah's Kingdom. The Gentile and Isra'eli believers are now one, and...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, Trekson (and you, too, veteran): Please pay attention to this: The "new creation" does NOT create a dichotomy! It does NOT make "believers who are neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ" and "unbelievers who are neither Jew nor Gentile outside of Christ." The second half is the REAL problem...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, veteran. Well, there you go again. I'm not treating it like some "school boy club," brother, nor am I saying that there's nothing wrong with Communist-Marxism! I only said what I did in answer to your thoughtless remark, "There's quite a few Jews today that don't even believe in God...

    Zechariah 14

    Shalom, Trekson. I really don't think so, if the picture of the "U.N." meeting we have in Psalm 2 is any indication. The "centuries" could be the last few centuries of the Millennium. They could be SELF convinced and ready for the liberty to act! All they would need is a leader (haSatan) ready...
