    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Shalom, dragonfly. The etymology of "Hebrew" is NOT from "Avram." It is from "`EVer" (transliterated as "Eber" or "Heber" in most English versions). As such, he is NOT the origin of JUST the Isra'eli people! Technically, ANYONE born of "`EVer," or more importantly, anyone who speaks the...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. I know we don't always agree on things, but I do agree with you about the Iranians acting deceitfully. Their religion of Islam TEACHES deceit! It really doesn't matter WHO is in the Presidency at the time, Iran will lie to him.

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. Dani'el 11 doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the present! This chapter was talking about the rest of the Medo-Persian Empire, Alexander the Great, the Seleucid Empire (including the infamy of Antiochus IV Epiphanes), the beginnings of the Roman Empire, and ends with Herod...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Shalom, teleiosis. ALL the verses? That might be asking for a HUGE undertaking, but I'll start with SOME of the verses, how's that? You also ask for those verses that show no ambiguity in language. I don't even know if that is humanly possible! Consider: If I give you a verse that is clearly...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Shalom, terry. First of all, there is no such thing as a "yolh woc," even in India. Second, I'm not trying to "danglet sordw." I'm trying to "entanglu mhet!" Yes, understanding can be complex and hard to distinguish, but I'm attempting to make things simple, as simple as they can be for those...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Shalom, veteran. Sorry, but you have two flaws in this reasoning. First, you are ASSUMING that "Isra'el" is talking about the 10 tribes instead of all 12. How often do you see a vineyard with the "pleasant vines" planted outside of it? The grapevines are planted WITHIN the vineyard, the House...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, kaoticprofit. Excuse me, but this whole debt fiasco/debacle started under CLINTON'S watch! And, if you REALLY want to push the envelope, you have to take it all the way back to when FDR took us off the gold standard on June 5, 1933, and we began floating extra money into the system...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Shalom, jeffweeder. NO! It's not about the "Gospel of the Messiah"; it's the Gospel of the KINGDOM! That's FAR different! The Gospel of the Kingdom is NOT about "the death, burial, and resurrection of the Messiah" that is frequently called the "Gospel" and is typically misunderstood as an...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, terry. You're right. The problem with MOST occupations is that they redistribute the wealth instead of actually creating wealth. With the few exceptions of farming, ranching, and true creativity, most occupations take the wealth others make and repackage it for distribution to others...

    The pre-tribulational rapture

    Shalom, Trekson. I await your response. I suppose between the two, I'd have to be called a "regular Messianic"; however, I'm FAR from "regular." I'm a weird combination of a Baptist and Messianic. I believe that Yerushalayim haChadashah descends the the New Earth which I believe is not...

    The pre-tribulational rapture

    Shalom, Trekson. I've never heard the distinction between a trekker and a trekkie, but, hey, I just love the shows. I'm currently re-watching all the episodes as a months-long marathon of Deep Space 9 on Netflix. (I LOVE episode 102 where Sisko and crew go back in time to the episode of the...

    Two witnesses 2+2=2?

    Shalom, people. Once in a while, some mischievous Jews or Christians will bring up the Western Wall as proof that the stones were not so cast down as Yeshua` predicted. Those stones are of the RETENTION WALL that supports the level ground where once the Temple was assumed to have been built. It...

    Flow of Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy

    Shalom, veteran and terry. Guys, you need to get the FRAMEWORK right before going into the details. Hanging sheet rock in a house doomed to collapse is not very wise. Ever hear the phrase "throwing good money after bad?" I believe that the "groundwork" you've supposedly laid is flawed. You have...

    Revealing the Sons of God.

    Shalom, jeffweeder. Just some things to think about: A. First, we know that the current world in which we live is full of evils. B. Second, we know and believe that the future world, the eternal state, will be without any evil element. The problem is, how do we get from A to B? See, the...

    A new thread on prophecy

    Shalom, Oliver. It's not so difficult to believe that these are simply locusts, even if not "normal locusts," just as lions are not just "normal cats." They are a species of locust that currently is not found on the earth. I believe that they were an antediluvian species that will undergo the...

    What does the word "Christ" mean to you?

    Shalom, Rex. It's not that far off topic, and I rather enjoy it. You're welcome for the thoughtful conversation and thank you, too, for it takes two (at least) to make it a "conversation." Actually, I believe that the first 1/2 of the 70th Seven was fulfilled in the "ministry" of our Lord...

    What does the word "Christ" mean to you?

    Shalom, Oliver (et bonsoir). Yes, Christ is anointed to be King; however, I don't believe the second half. It is a common myth, but the only such calculation I've seen for saying that it "works out to the day" is when one uses the mythological "360-day prophetic year." A year is a year. If one...

    What does the word "Christ" mean to you?

    Shalom, Rex and Nomad. Nomad: Yes, "anoint" does mean "to appoint for a special function," but I don't believe that goes far enough. HOWEVER, I do appreciate your additional input of how a person can be anointed for the position of prophet, priest, and king. Rex: You said,... I think you are...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, everyone. This is my prayer for Obama: Psalm 109:8 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. KJV I wish it was Santorum instead of Romney, but Obama can't be allowed to continue, or he will BURY us in debt! (As if, we're not already!) The fundamental difference between...

    What does the word "Christ" mean to you?

    Shalom, Elle. Okay, there are two things I think: First, He was called the "Christ" long before the lady anointed Him for His burial. So, I believe that His Anointing came before her arrival with the spikenard-perfumed ointment. Her mission was to offer Him her thanks, her love, and her honor...
