    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. Okay, here we go: First, I am not a true preterist; I'm only a partial preterist. As such, I count myself more of a futurist than most, even those who are pretribulational rapturist, prewrath rapturist or posttribulational rapturist. I am also a firm believer in the plenary...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, terry. Simply click on the triangle pointing down next to your name where you sign in (or out) at the top of the page, and choose "My settings" from the list of things to do. This will allow you to edit your settings. Then, on the left, you will see another list of things available, and...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, Trekson. Technically, the definite article in the Hebrew is not present. So, unless the context refers to a specific covenant (which I believe it does), the indefinite article should be used for translation (or none at all). So, the question one has to ask oneself in textual criticism...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. Well, actually the "sin offering" was not an offering for sin, but the "burnt offering" was, but since it is mentioned, too, perhaps John_8:32 is right.

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. It's simple really. The Jews will build a third Temple. When Yeshua` returns, He will either renovate the existing Temple (IF it still exists) or He will design and build yet a FOURTH Temple. It is this renovated THIRD Temple or the FOURTH Temple that is described in...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, Rex. It's not so different. See, I, too, believe that the Father recognized Yeshua`s right to be King and anointed Him at His baptism. Then, when He was fully rejected and left the earth at the ascension, He was fulfilling Luke 19: Luke 19:11-28 11 And as they heard these things, he...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. Actually, it does and I can: Luke 1:67-79 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation (rescue; deliverance)...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. (LOL! Use the word "gabar" or "gavar" which means to STRENGTHEN!) Look, do you think that David started out, PLANNING to reign in Hevron (Hebron) for 7.5 years before he was accepted by all of Isra'el and moved to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) for the rest of his 40-year reign...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. I found some verses for you to suggest that Yeshua` WAS the fulfillment of the covenant, i.e., the Davidic Covenant, even at the beginning of His "ministry": First, there is the "dropping of the other shoe" in Psalm 89: Psalm 89:20-52 20 I have found David my servant; with...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, Guestman. Nuts. While it is true that the 144,000 ISRA'ELIS are "those individual chosen by YHWH Eloheinu to be a kingdom and priests," it is WRONG to apply that to anyone other than the ISRA'ELIS of whom it was written! There's not as much analogy as you might like to think in...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, Thegoodground. No, it does NOT! The 144,000 are a select number from the twelve tribes of Isra'el! It's not even the whole nation of Isra'el! See, this is the problem that the "Jehovah's Witnesses" had! Their numbers climbed above 144,000 and they had to revise their take on whom the...

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. Okay, let's take this step-by-step because you are WAY off base! (You're AWOL!) Oh, get off the "forced" kick! "Gavar" is NOT being used that way in this context! The direct object is the "covenant," "b-riyt!" It is NOT "rabiym," the "many!" Furthermore, the prepositional...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, veteran. Nuts. You must be out of your mind to put Gentiles into the children of Isra'el through the tribes of Efrayim and Manasheh! What do THEY have to do with God's Promised Savior unto Eternal Life?! Yeshua` was and IS a Jew, and He always WILL BE! It was a JEW who died on the...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, whitestone. Fooey. If you're going to use Matthew 25:1, then you should be aware of what position into which you are putting yourself! These ten virgins were ten ATTENDANTS to the marriage of the bridegroom and the bride! They were part of the WEDDING PARTY, not the BRIDE! The...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, Trekson. Right you are! Technically speaking, however, (and I'm surprised that veteran hasn't piped up on this), only 12,000 of the 144,000 were Jews, that is, of the tribe of Y'hudah (Judah)!

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    Shalom, teleiosis. Not so fast, bro'. The New Covenant is the wrong covenant; that's all. That was NOT the covenant that Yeshua` strengthened. He did not MAKE the covenant mentioned in Dani'el 9:27 Himself, nor is the verse worded that way. He DID, however, strengthen the DAVIDIC COVENANT with...

    The end of the world? Not so fast.

    Shalom, veteran, and Happy Thanksgiving! Actually, it's very simple. Based on the context surrounding these two prophets, they are VERY hated! People will be trying to kill them and get killed themselves by the very same method by which they attacked them! Furthermore, they were the supposed...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, IAmAWitness. Now, you've done it! You've engaged in pilpul (pronounced "peel-POOL"), Jewish hair-splitting argumentation! "Can God create a stone so big He could not lift it?" The answer, according to pilpul would be "Yes and/or no!" Yes, He could create a stone so big that it would...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, veteran. Unless one is a pseudo-Gentile who is actually one of the Ten Tribes of Isra'el, then he/she as a true Gentile is adopted into the Jewish family because he/she is adopted into the Tribe of Y'hudah (Judah) through the Messiah Yeshua`. It is a common error to call all...

    The Rapture: Harmonizing differing viewpoints.

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. NO, SIR! You have a false view about God! Think about Howsheea` (Hosea) and his marriage to a prostitute! Did not God ORDER Howsheea` to marry her? Did not God encourage Howsheea` to take her back when she was destitute? We may THINK that God would like us to marry...
