    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Shalom, Trekson. Well, it may be "clearer" to you in your soteriology/eschatology, but you've "muddied the waters" when it comes to Scripture. Isra'el (not "Isreal") is Yeshua`s FAMILY! All of His disciples and all of the Jews were ALL cousins to Him! Furthermore, you must also realize that...

    Shalom, kaoticprofit. LOL! You're doing it again! You're making it a label that only applies to "Christians" because you only apply the verses you've listed to "Christians!" Ever hear or sing Edward Perronet's hymn "All Hail the Power"? What does the second verse say? "Ye chosen seed of...

    the mayan calendar and the stairs of the pyramids

    Shalom, terry. LOL! Here in Florida, perhaps, but elsewhere in these United States, the crickets will either be dormant and hibernating or will be dead! 'Course with this cold front coming this weekend, we may not have crickets chirping here in Florida, either! Shalom, afaithfulone4u...

    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Shalom, AlanforChrist. [1] Yes, there ARE three heavens (skies): The heaven or sky before the Flood, the heaven or sky in which we currently breathe, and the heaven or sky after the Fire called the "New Heaven" in Revelation (2 Peter 3:3-13). You are wrong about Jesus saying "He is coming back...

    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Shabbat shalom, AlanforChrist, and Happy Chanukkah. Now, now; let's not take the nasty route. Actually, the problem is in the definition of the word "heaven." If you would use the simplest definition for the Greek word "ouranos," you would translate the word as "sky," and that is what the word...

    How does God know everything that is going to happen in the future?

    Shabbat shalom, terry, and Happy Chanukkah! What are you talking about? We live in God's creation of a space-mass-time continuum. One cannot have time without mass moving through space. One also cannot understand space without mass moving in time. God will not remove time any more than He will...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Shalom, teleiosis. I have no intention of trying to provide any evidence outside of Dani'el 9:27 because there is NO NEED! First, I don't believe in a 7-year tribulation or even a 3.5-year tribulation. Therefore, why would I bother trying to prove or disprove such a monstrosity? I don't find it...

    Using the KJV can anyone tell us.......

    Shalom to the disbelievers. Look, everyone, they were indeed LITERAL trees with LITERAL fruit! But, if one is careful to read the account accurately, he or she will discover that the text never says that Adam or Chavah (Eve) knew where the Tree of Life was! They were only told not to eat from...

    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Shalom, AlanforChrist. YOU keep the Bible in it's right context! The "Blessed Hope" is NOT about the pre-tribulational rapture! It most certainly IS about the resurrection! The rapture, or more appropriately the "harpazo," means the "snatching away," not the "catching up!" It has no implication...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, Trekson. Nope. I wasn't the one who said that. In the Millennium, the first 1000 years of Yeshua`s reign, He is both. He is the King of Y'hudah, then the King of Isra'el, and finally the King of kings, as the individual kings either get on board or are subdued; however, He is also the...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom again, Trekson. These are not just specs for what they were supposed to build; this is a PROPHECY of what they WILL build! Furthermore, I don't personally have the second Temple's specs, but Isra'el does, through archaeological evidence, their own landmarks, and the archives they...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, Trekson. Well, I can't speak for John, but I disagree with your take that chapters 40-46 are about the second Temple. The second Temple was not built to these specifications, and these specs were in a PROPHECY! They are about a Temple that has never been built! Therefore, chapters 40-48...

    Two In The Field One Is Taken One Is Left

    Shalom, teleiosis. Sorry, but the "blessed hope" is NOT the rapture! It is the RESURRECTION! It is from Titus 2:13 referring back to Titus 1:2! And, in Titus 2:13, Paul said we were to look for or anticipate both the "blessed hope" (the Happy Assurance) of the resurrection and the "glorious...

    ALL TIMELINES NEED TO BE REVISED

    Shalom, Trekson. You really need to study the Tanakh (the OT) better. The "Song of Moshe (Moses)" is found in Exodus 15, and it is not the same song as the "Song of the Lamb," which may indeed be the "new song." However, in general, I do agree with you. This "clumping ... into one big ball of...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, all. This is the result of confusing "salvation" in the prophecies with the concept of "justification by God." Sorry, but they are NOT synonymous. "Salvation" purely means "rescue" or "deliverance" and in the prophecies is used to describe the future "rescue" or "deliverance" of the...

    Shalom, Whitestone. I know we don't always see eye to eye on things, but this time I believe you are right on target. Good call!

    ALL TIMELINES NEED TO BE REVISED

    Shalom, teleiosis. You don't want to get into grammar and spelling! We ALL have our foibles in that department! My mother was an English major and DRILLED my sisters and me about our grammar. I've come to the point where grammar and spelling errors seemingly JUMP out of the page, but I "bite my...

    Coming Antichrist Is Not Of Islam

    Shalom, Hezekiah. Well, it may SEEM that way, but it's not THAT "clear." See, first of all, you must understand that not all "angels" are "angels." The Greek word is "aggelos" ("aggeloi" is the plural), but it simply means "messenger." It is one of those words that was seldom translated; it...

    Newton's Riddle, Daniel 9

    Shalom, Rex. You're right! We've come full circle. Isn't it interesting how it used to be said, "Put any two Rabbis together, and you will have three opinions"? Now, you could say that about those who call themselves Christians! Annnngh! What are we going to do? "The more things change, the...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. Tell me, do you often have to say, "The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get"? You remind me of Abbot and Costello: Abbot was explaining how that there were all these "fellas" on the baseball team, but there was only ONE "Feller" (Bob Feller) on the team. So, Costello repeated...
