    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, again, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Good! I feel that we're making some progress in agreement! My point is this: If you think we're in the Kingdom now, you AIN'T SEEN NUTHIN', YET! Shoot, when He starts to reign in Yerushalayim, Yisra'el, PHYSICALLY AND BODILY, His Kingdom will be so...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Yeshua` went where He said He was going: John 14:2 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. KJV And, we learn in Revelation that His Father's "house" is the New Jerusalem: Revelation...

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

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. And, the same could have been said for Gentile believers of THIS generation, had Yeshua` or the Twelve had been here today! Learn from their example! Shalom, again, ChristRoseFromTheDead. No. Arnie is correct. It's not a "carnal twist of Scripture" nor is it...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, everyone. The second parable of Matthew 13 is commonly called the parable of the wheat and tares (or weeds): Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Ridiculous. What does Acts 9:9 or 9:11 have to do with it?! You are being used of haSatan to derail this thread, and I am praying that the LORD will not allow it. Suffice it to say that I am putting you on "ignore" until I am finished. I won't be long. And, in the...

    If they were.....

    Shalom, to all. It's much simpler than all of this rhetoric. With apologies to veteran, the actual word is "nefiliym" (sometimes written with the "ph" for the "f" sound, "nephiliym") or "hanfiliym" with the definite article. The word was translated as "giants" in the KJV but means "tyrants."...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Uh, yes! Neither of these passages that you quote say ANYTHING about Yeshua` having already received His Kingdom! In Dani'el 7:13-14, the message is that "there was given him dominion, and glory (fame), and a kingdom," but I believe that won't happen until His...

    INVASION AMERICA: terror & great glory.

    (Trying again...) Shalom, IAmAWitness. If you've got something to say to me, say it TO me, please! Quit talking ABOUT me as though you were preaching to some crowd about the devil! Revelation 18 may not be talking about Isra'el, but it is also NOT TALKING ABOUT AMERICA! It is talking about...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom to all. As I've said before, the character of the Kingdom of God during the first 1000 years of haMelekh Yeshua`s reign has a MUCH different flavor than so many teach. His Kingdom will be one of FORCE and TYRANNY, albeit He WILL be a "benevolent tyrant." 1 Corinthians 15:25 25 For he...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, everyone. I've heard these parables of our Master being used time and time again as support for this point of view or that point of view, that I feel it's high time we understand the true meaning of these parables. First and foremost, these are parables about the King and His Kingdom...

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

    Shalom, Rex. That all SOUNDS good UNTIL one asks the question, "Then with whom is Paul contrasting 'Isra'el?'" If he's not contrasting Isra'el with the Gentile believers, then the rest of what he said in Romans 11 makes no sense at all! Sorry, your idea of who "Isra'el" represents is incorrect.

    A one sentence challenge

    Shalom, guysmith. The overall message I am trying to convey is that Yeshua` will still be the "King of the Jews" when He returns, will become the "King of Isra'el" inheriting the throne of His ancestor David after He has rescued His people and His Land, and will eventually be King of Kings or...

    A one sentence challenge

    Shalom, guysmith: Romans 15:4 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. KJV

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. This is an EXCELLENT response to the issues! Thank you! I know that God will bless you for the efforts in not putting down other people's opinions. We all have some good ideas; we all also have some pretty lousy ones, but the worst ones are the ones for which we have "blind...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    SHALOM, JOSYWALES!!! SHAME ON YOU!!! Quit misrepresenting me! I am NOT a full preterist! I do NOT believe that it is "all over!" I only believe that the first 69 and a HALF of the seventy Sevens of Dani'el 9 are past! I still believe that the last half of the seventieth Seven is yet to be...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom again, veteran. Just a post script about the rest of what you wrote: It's not that I "have major difficulty with understanding Biblical types our Heavenly Father put in His Word." First, you are ASSUMING that there ARE "Biblical types" and, second, that "our Heavenly Father put (them)...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, veteran. Okay, let's stick with Matthew 24:15 for now (and it's counterparts in the synoptic Gospels, Mark 13:14 and Luke 21:20). I'm going to back you up just a ways to get a running start into the three verses you quoted above and link them with the other two Gospels. I'm also going...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, veteran, and Happy Resurrection Day! No, brother, that's not the same event. First of all, Dani'el 11 is SPECIFICALLY talking about Antiochus IV Epiphanes because in that chapter we are seeing the whole history from the last few kings of the Medo-Persian Empire, beginning with the first...

    Dire Situation at Fukushima in Japan

    Shabbat shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Okay, that's enough of the scare tactics. We don't need more doomsday prophecies, and this is a bad interpretation of Apsinthos. While there IS a connection between the Greek word "apsinthos" and the alcoholic beverage "absinthe," you're barking up the...

    Revelation 14, Zechariah 14 and the 144K

    Shabbat shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Sorry, but checking a different version does NOT satisfy the confusion; it only ADDS to the confusion. The truth is that "the jury is still out" on this one. The Septuagint may not agree with the Masoretic Text, but that doesn't make the Septuagint RIGHT...
