    Simple Chart of End Times Events

    Shalom, JosyWales. It doesn't even matter if your chart adds the times up to "exactly" 2300 days (which it does NOT), since the 2300 days to which you cling were FULFILLED IN THE PAST!!! Let's look closely at the chapter upon which you hang SO much of your theory: Daniel 8:1-27 1 In the third...

    Why do you think that GOD had Noah build the ark?

    Shalom, stefen. Actually, no one lived to 1000 years. Metushelach (or Methuselah), the man who has lived the longest, only lived to 969 years. Adam and Noach (Noah) lived 930 years and 950 years respectively, the Flood occurring in Noach's 600th and 601st years. These genealogies can be found...

    Would the Real Elijah Please Come Forth!

    Shalom, daq. QUIT DOING THAT!!! You continue to take Scripture, twist it with your own words, and then attempt to pass it off as though it came from Scripture! FOR INSTANCE,... You said, "Therefore if your right tree offends you cut him down, if your right eye is become a nomad-wanderer pluck...

    Would the Real Elijah Please Come Forth!

    Shalom, stefen. Allow me to give you a simple syllogism as to what and WHERE "Paradise" (Greek: "paradeisos") is: If you look up the word "paradise" in the KJV, you will find that the word occurs three times, all in the NT: Luke 23:43 (the account of Elezar or "Lazarus" and the rich man, of...

    Uh-Oh, Obama Heading to Israel

    Shalom, terry. Just readin' along. He doesn't have to be the Beast, just pave the way FOR the Beast! The LORD KNOWS he's done enough damage to THIS country! Michelle Obama, as well, has furthered the involvement of "Big Brother!" Don't you find it odd that immediately after the resurgence of...

    The 70th Week of Daniel/2555 days

    Shalom, JosyWales. They are all CLOSE to being the same length of time, but they are NOT the same exactly. There are just too many assumptions within your reasoning and you are coming to "clear" conclusions that are about as "clear" as muddy water. But, hey, you're going to believe what you...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shalom, daq. Freaky. So you miss almost all of what I said in five paragraphs and focus on the ONE?! I wasn't trying to derail you or your precious parable to Timothy's "Trumpeter" (with whom I do NOT agree); I was merely pointing out the way that you weave together ideas from various parts of...

    One taken, one left

    Shalom, all. This is why it's IMPERATIVE to understand this discourse by piecing together all three accounts IN THE GREEK FIRST and THEN translate it into English! Brothers and sisters, remember to whom Yeshua` was speaking! He was not talking to us in the future so much; He was talking to the...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shalom, daq. I'm sorry that my avatar confused you, but travel is shown along the white lines from left to right, not right to left. I used to have that information in my signature, but somewhere along the way, I dropped that info. I've since fixed my signature. Yeshua` will arrive from the New...

    ARE THERE STILL PROPHETS AND APOSTLES?

    Shalom, BiggAndyy. LOL. That reminds me of the truism that people learn valuable lessons in one of two ways: they can either learn it vicariously through the experiences of others or learn it first hand through their own experiences. In cases of "chopping off one's left arm," that is one lesson...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shalom, daq. Why do you keep doing this stuff? That's WAY out there, bro'! So, let me get this straight: You believe that Paul was Alexander (Saul) and that this is proved because Rufus is from the same mother, but Rufus' father was the same father of Alexander? Aren't you forgetting about...

    Zechariah 14:1-5

    Shalom, daq. What the disciples saw on the Mount of Transfiguration was a FORETASTE of what was to come! They were permitted to witness how Yeshua` would come IN THE FUTURE when He returned! The transfiguration was a fulfillment of the words that Yeshua` said just prior to the event: Matthew...

    The 70th Week of Daniel/2555 days

    Shalom, JosyWales. Sorry, but the book of the Revelation of Yeshua` haMashiach makes NO such equation! That's YOUR take on what was said! The three different time statements are three different TIME PERIODS! That's why they were said three different ways! You've assumed too much to say that...

    Zechariah 14:1-5

    Shalom, JosyWales. Well, since the woman in Revelation refers to Isra'el, are you saying that Isra'el is the "true church?" Revelation 12:6 and 14 are different by comparison. Revelation 12:6 simply says that the woman (Isra'el) is fed in the place in the desolation God prepared for her for...

    The 70th Week of Daniel/2555 days

    Shalom, terry. I'm not attacking YOU, brother; I'm attacking your "fact" that "the Jews had but 360 days to a year, not 365.25 days to a year." THAT'S the error. It's NOT TRUE!!! While the Jews' manner of time-keeping may be foreign to us, to them it made perfect sense. They were/are an...

    Zechariah 14:1-5

    Shalom, guysmith. First of all, it is incorrect to think of the beast's kingdom as all-encompassing. Whereas it will be a powerful kingdom during its time, one should not think that it will be the ONLY kingdom. Second, how does ANYONE feed themselves for 3.5 years? It doesn't REQUIRE "buying...

    Three Groups

    Shalom, Arnie Manitoba. Another word that makes a difference is the word "worship." Today, this word has a very specific definition: worship |ˈwərSHəp| noun the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity: the worship of God | ancestor worship. • the acts or rites that make up...

    The 70th Week of Daniel/2555 days

    Shalom, JosyWales. Sorry, but that's not true. The Hebrew word "shavu`iym," translated as "weeks" in the KJV, simply means "sevens." It does NOT mean "weeks" as we use that word today! That can be "sevens" of years as easily as "sevens" of days. The "fact" that YOU add them up "exactly" (not...

    Harpazo-Rapture Saulos-Paulos

    Shabbat shalom, daq. That's an interesting theory, but all one has to do is follow Shaa'uwl's life in the book of Acts: Acts 13 13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen...

    Three Groups

    Shalom, ENOCH2010. I was enjoying the confusion and humor (including BiggAndyy's 10 types), but then I got to thinking of your response, and I just wanted to quickly comment. Actually, "There is none righteous, no, not one." In that sense, there's only ONE group: EVIL! The better way to say...
