Shalom, Rocky Wiley. I find it ironic that you would make such ado about how easy it is to understand the Bible and how hard it is to understand teachers of the Bible, especially as they are just parroting theological rhetoric, and yet parrot your own theological rhetoric in saying that the...

Shalom, folks. Okay, it's been a full week; so, I'm ready to move on. I've gotta say that I'm a bit disappointed by the response ... but I'm not too surprised. Those who know that it's a big deal what one believes about "Christ" think I'm being simplistic, fishing for the newbies, and those...

Shalom, terry. Wow. Talk about dredging things up from the past! This is a couple of months old, friend. Did you look at the date of the last post? Anyway, the matter is quite simple. The Greek word "abussos," from which we get our word "abyss," simply means "no-bottom" or "depthless."...

Shalom, Trekson. I don't have any imagination?! Are you serious?! I'm a Trekkie! Always have been since the early days of Jim Kirk and Spock! My first recollection of a color TV set was with that program running. (We owned a black-and-white set, and I was at a friend's house.) I LOVE Star Trek...

Shabbat shalom, again, Oliver. Continuing on.... To finish up the last point, I had said,... ...and you had asked,... After looking at what Yeshua` meant when His words were recorded in John 14:1-3 (which I tried to convey meant "in the New Jerusalem," not "in Heaven," because that is what...

Shabbat shalom, oliver. Says who? What Scriptures tell you THAT piece of fiction?! This mythology comes from a bad understanding of the word "ekkleesia," translated "church." All the word "church" means (which comes ultimately from the Greek word "kuriakon") is "of the Lord." The word...

Shalom, Elle. What I was asking was this: Since He IS "the anointed High Priest, King and Prince, the Son of God," as you say, how will that play out in "future history?" How do you see the prophecies about Him in each role play out? If we don't think about His presence as "High Priest," for...

Shabbat shalom, SoM. Whatever, dude. <Chomp! Chomp! Mmmm! Tastes like Candy!> <Candy who?>

Shalom, gentlemen. Attack the problem, not the person, please. If you cannot refer to Scripture, then your beliefs are no better or worse than anyone else's beliefs.

Shalom, Trekson and veteran. I just wanted to add, BACK ON TOPIC, that I believe that the passage about the sixth seal is quite literal: Revelation 6:12-17 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair...

Shalom, Elle. Thank you for your input and your vote. Just a question, how does your take on the word affect your view of prophecy?

Shalom, Trekson. There are a couple of things of which I am sensing you are not aware: First, you need to understand that the word "evil" here is not the Greek word "kakos" but is "poneeros." Strong's is a little confusing about these two terms, unless you use their definitions together (with...

Shalom, guys. You need some refresher courses in Persian history. After the captivity under Nebuchadnezzar (who died in 561 B.C.), followed by Nabonidus and his heir apparent, Belshazzar, Cyrus II the Great took Bavel (Babylon) in 538 B.C. It was during his first year as ruler of Bavel that he...

Shalom, Nomad. Thank you for your input. Yes, many do "know" already what "Messiah" means (or they THINK they do), but remember: we don't know that we don't know what we don't know! I'm not going to talk about it right now for fear of inhibiting others to vote, but I'm just trying to get a...

Shalom, "Son of Man." That's NOT what that phrase means! It is an analogy - an idiom - for the first-century hunt for Jews who escaped from the captivity and deportation under the Romans. The Jews were the "body" - the "carcase" - and the Romans (and Roman collaborators) were the "eagles" -...

Shalom, oliver. You're right about veteran not understanding the role of Isra'el in the end-times sequence, but do you? Isra'el is more than "elect as a nation." They are "chosen" because THEY ARE MISHPACHAH! THE ARE FAMILY! YaHuWH said of Isra'el, Malachi 1:1-3 1 The burden of the word of...

Shalom, everyone. Is that it? Are there any more out there that are going to respond? I know I've encountered others in other subjects.

Shalom, rockytopva. That's GOOD! You're absolutely right! We SHOULD be "ready" every day! Sometimes, I think we put so fine a point on a pencil that we couldn't write with it on normal paper! It'd poke right through the paper! We can be "right", or we can be "ready!" This is a struggle for...

Shalom, all. Thank you Trekson for your input. You said, Yeah, maybe there should have been. I also thought of putting "none of the above," but decided against both of those and just put "something else." As a hint, I will be casting my vote as a "something else," but I wanted to get...

Shalom! Thank you, terry and jeffweeder, for your input. However, I have only one vote between you. Please, don't forget to vote in this poll. Thanks, again.
