    the sounding of the second trumpet Part 1, 2 and 3

    Shalom, Trumpeter. "Behold"? "Lo"? "surely"? Why are you talking that way?! God doesn't need to speak like He's reading it from some King James Version of prophecy! "It will surely buckle"? Then it will buckle! And, don't call me "Shirley!" This whole thing is nonsense and ludicrous! Why would...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shabbat shalom, JB_Reformed Baptist. What's wrong with being "divisive?" Wasn't Yeshua` Himself "divisive?" Matthew 10:34-36 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. Wow. Let me talk first about your next-to-last paragraph: First, a question: Do you believe in a literal resurrection? I mean, when the Messiah returns, do you expect our loved ones to come out of their graves? Or, do you believe that "resurrection" is just a fancy...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shabbat shalom, 7angels. With all due respect to Rev. Matthew Henry, the man lived in the late 1600s and early 1700s (from October 18, 1662 to June 6, 1714) and died before he was 52 years old! He had the typical, nonconformist minister's garb at the time complete with powdered wig. His...

    The Fifth Trumpet Plague

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. You're just itchin' for a fight, aren't you? Are you feeling okay? Are you sick? Are you on your meds? I'm actually NOT "trying to place those Joel prophecies back in history." I believe the restoration is going to happen in the future when Yeshua` returns. However, I...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shabbat shalom, JB_Reformed Baptist. What are you balking about?! First of all, I said "so-called Christians." These are those who are/were "Christians" in NAME ONLY! They were those who CLAIMED the name of Christ, but then treated others HORRIBLY! No love for one's neighbor there! Ever hear of...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Polt. And, it is in Yeshua`s words that we have the closest answer to the fate of Y'hudah (Judas): He was said to be a "son of perdition," which means a "son of (or an heir to) ruin or loss." It's the Greek word "apooleia." However, even here, Yeshua` may have been talking about...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Did Y'hudah (Judas) know that Yeshua` was haMashiach Elohiym (the Messiah of God)? He was told so, but did He believe it? Do you think He was trying to repent when he went back to the religious leaders and tried to get them to take back the money? Yes, but even...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Polt. I am not dispensational (not that you know what the term means), but, YES, they will be saved RESCUED because they're Jews, or more appropriately, because they are children of Isra'el. Look, many don't KNOW that they rejected Jesus Yeshua`, haMashiach Elohiym (the Messiah of...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, 7angels. <Sigh.> Heavens, NO! The first parable is about what one does with the MESSAGE ABOUT THE KINGDOM! It's not at all about whether one is "saved" or "unsaved!" That's PURE "MODERN-SPEAK" and is not at all what Yeshua` was talking about! Look. Every one of the children of Isra'el...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Polt. You are DEAD WRONG about believing "all Jews will be saved by virtue of their non-Christian religion." They will be saved (RESCUED) because they are FAMILY! Don't be such a close-minded person! They are MISHPACHAH, the "CHILDREN of Isra'el (Jacob) who was the son of Yitschaq...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, veteran. Hmmph! Hardly! And, leave the Jews out of this! Good or bad, this problem has NOTHING to do with them! As I've said before and I'll go right on saying again and again, if "Christ is reigning right now," ESPECIALLY THROUGH HIS "CHURCH," then He is the most IMPOTENT KING there...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shalom, Pelaides. Accent on the wrong syllable. It should be "HalleluYAH!" "YAH," as short for "YHWH," is God's NAME!

    A taste of things to come

    Shalom, all. This is all figurative nonsense. In a very practical way, everybody has two sides, right and left. When you're standing side-by-side in a queue, is everyone on your left in judgment of you?! Is everybody on your right standing in your favor?! That's just NUTS! Since the one on your...

    English grammar and spelling affects prophecy

    Shalom, Arnie. Sure. The Hebrew words ARE "ldowr acharown" which is properly translated as "to/for-a-cycle last-one" or "to/for a last cycle." Since this is usually talking about the "circle of life," from the time a person is born until he fathers a child, it is often translated as...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shalom, daq. This is my biggest complaint with your posts: Why do you INSIST on mixing Scripture verses together that have no business being mixed?! I'm okay with connecting Ezekiel 39:17-20 with Revelation 19:17-18; they're fine. What I am talking about is the mixing of the BACKGROUND verses...

    A taste of things to come

    Shalom, Trumpeter. Did you ever see the movie, Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End?" Do you remember what happened when all the sailors ran to one side of the ship? Do you really want us tipping or capsizing the New Jerusalem? Doesn't it seem rather senseless and silly to...

    English grammar and spelling affects prophecy

    Shalom, Arnie. Duly noted. However, as I said, this thread is to IMPROVE INFORMATION, not to put each other down. We need to BUILD EACH OTHER UP, not tear each other down. (Pardon my ending the sentence with a preposition-like adverb.) It is against Yeshua`s Law to "love one another" when we...

    A taste of things to come

    Shalom, Trumpeter. C'mon, now. Do you really think there will be "goats" in the New Jerusalem?

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shalom, daq. That's an interesting twist on Scripture, but it's not accurate. Frankly, there's NO punctuation in original Hebrew. That's why there are so many conjunction vav-prefixes usually translated "and" or "or." Explain to me (if you can) why it was not okay to eat meat here in B'reshiyt...
