    Christ will come again

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. If I may, stand on the Word of God. That's a good stand, and I won't fault it; however, do stand on the Word of God IN CONTEXT. Yeshua` was talking about the Mount of Transfiguration that was immediately to come! The reason why it was "some" was because not everyone went...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, Rex. First of all, how have I wronged YOU?! Where's YOUR post above?! I see NOTHING from you! I wasn't talking to you or about you! If I've wronged you somehow, please explain how and forgive me for ignorance, but I don't know how it is possible. Second, read the verse as it was...

    Afaithfulone4u, the New Jerusalem

    Shalom, guysmith. Revelation 19-22 must also harmonize with 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 as well as 2 Peter 3:3-13. There ARE contextual clues that tie the three passages together, and when they are so harmonized, the process removes several misunderstandings. Ideally, these should be harmonized in...

    Christ will come again

    Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. You're welcome, and thank you for such a gracious conversation. It is quite refreshing that such discussions are possible without all the posturing. (I've had my FILL of that lately!) It is something that I recognized right away when I learned what full preterism was...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. I HAVE read the overview by Pastor G. Reckart on "Champions of Preterism," and I find him lackadaisical and uninformed on partial preterism if all he has to say on it is "Partial preterism (is nearly full preterism, each picks and chooses from the full preterist list)." I...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shalom, daq. This really bothers me on a number of fronts. First, I was not attacking you in any way. I was trying to get you to understand the simple reality of the resurrection body that the Messiah has and we will acquire when He returns. We don't go off to heaven when we die like going off...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. (Is that your moniker or do you do that for fun? Y'know, "Jody Wales on EVERYONE!") "Rabid?" Nice. And you call yourself a Christian. The three and a half times or rather "time, times (in dual), and half a time" using the Hebrew phrase "l-mow`eed mow`adiym vaacheetsiy"...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, veteran. The part you have bold-faced above is not only not about the Messiah, it is also not about the "prince that shall come!" It's about the "PEOPLE of the prince that shall come!" The "of the prince that shall come" is a PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE! It's merely an adjective that describes...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. WOW!!!!! Don't you guys ever READ?!!! I did not say and have NEVER said that "it has all happened in the past!" GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!! I DO believe that the seventieth Seven is a Seven of years and that HALF of the Seven was fulfilled in the ministry of Yeshua` haMashiach (Jesus...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. Brother, I've seen the fact that your numbers add up to 2299.75 days (+ 1 hour) all along! Whether acting as a computer engineer, a computer programmer, or an administrative assistant, I am primarily a mathematician, after all. Again, that's NOT the issue! The issue, as I see...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, veteran. You gravely err in calling the opinion of someone else "another deception." I believe that you are wrong and I am right. Therefore, from my perspective, it is YOU who are promoting "another deception." Indeed, I find MANY such "deceptions" in your teaching as I do in those of...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shalom, daq. That is VERY misleading and, frankly, WRONG! 1 Corinthians 15:35-38 certainly DOES speak of the physical death! Are you trying to say that Yeshua` haMashiach (Jesus the Christ) did not physically die?! And yet, our death in this resurrection chapter is likened to HIS! He's talking...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, veteran. "Et tu, Brute?" (Latin for "You, too, Brutus?") No, brother, the 2300 days HAVE been completed and fulfilled. It is for this reason primarily that we should perhaps include 1 and 2 Maccabees in the canon of Scripture. We have forgotten the exploits of those priests in purging...

    PREPARING FOR THE COMING TRIBULATION

    Shalom, Brothertom. You obviously do not know what constitutes a "private interpretation." The phrase does NOT refer to a single person's interpretation of the Scriptures, whether from the Greek or the Hebrew. The phrase is explained in verse 21: 2 Peter 1:20-21 20 Knowing this first, that no...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. Actually, my stuff adds up just fine. In fact, I don't need to talk about your numbers and calculations except to help YOU! As I've already said, you'll continue to believe what you want to believe regardless what anyone says. "A man convinced against his will is of the same...

    Afaithfulone4u, the New Jerusalem

    Shalom, guysmith. If you'll allow me to enter the conversation, the tears are wiped away AFTER the Great White Throne Judgment which is AFTER the 1000 years. We will be allowed to weep for those whose lives are lost and the hole they leave in our hearts! We can mourn for those friends and...

    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. First off, it doesn't matter how much Scripture I post when it is all applicable and is better to read than the rantings of ANY one fallible human being. Second, you can stand by your chart and explanation all you want. It doesn't change the fact that these verses were...

    INVASION AMERICA: terror & great glory.

    Shalom, Brothertom. I found it fascinating fiction! Isn't it ironic that the Scriptures, that speak almost ENTIRELY about the Isra'elites throughout history, should now be allegorized and arrested to speak about the United States of America instead? Isn't it ironic that an American would find...

    Would the Real Elijah Please Come Forth!

    Shalom, stefen. You're quite welcome. I do not use the same verse in a proof for that verse. To do so is to invite "circular reasoning." This is the only reason why I did not talk directly about Luke 23:43. So, NOW, let's go back and revisit this verse. The key to a proper understanding of any...

    PREPARING FOR THE COMING TRIBULATION

    Shalom, Alanforchrist. LOL! YOU would lecture ME on being "NAUGHTY?!" How DARE you! Let's look more CAREFULLY at Luke 21:36, shall we? Luke 21:20-36 20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea...
