    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Had you included vs 13 of Mark 9 you could read Christ speaking of Elias coming in the past, not that he will physically return. Mark 9:11-13 (KJV) And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    As I've already said, I don't find a single verse that says Elijah will physically come a second time???

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    The last day of the Lord is still part of the Day of the Lord that came when Christ was born of man. Paul writes of the coming of our Lord, and our gathering together unto Him. Do you believe Paul is writing the Day of the Lord had not yet come, since preaching Christ had already come? Or...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    Yes, the breath of air breathed into our mortal body that makes us rational living souls, which means we have a mind. It is the mind (brain) in man which sends signals throughout our body, giving life to every part and organ. When the breath of air that gives our body life goes out of a man...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Paul does not say the Day of the Lord had not already come. He writes of the Day (one day) of the Lord that shall come the last/final day, when we are gathered together with Christ that had not yet come and would not come until the things he writes shall come to pass. They were not looking for...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    The prophesy of Elijah that was to come, has already come through Spirit in John-the-Baptist. I cannot find a single verse in Scripture that indicates Elijah will physically come back again.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    This passage does NOT say Zerubbabel is one of the two witnesses of Rev 11. It says the two olive trees upon the right of the candlestick are the two anointed ones. Zechariah 4:11-14 (KJV) Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I really don't mean to be harsh, but you have not discerned your conclusions FROM Scripture, but have instead read your preconceived opinion INTO Scripture.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    That great and terrible Day of the Lord came when Christ came to earth, born a man. Both great, because many will be turned from darkness to light, and terrible because the Day of the Lord shall end with the wrath of God being poured out upon the earth, and the GWTJ to follow. Read Malachi in...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Hear what the angel tells Zecharias below: Luke 1:13-17 (KJV) But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    John-the-Baptist most assuredly did turn the hearts of many, which is why they went to be baptized in repentance for sin. You have not properly discerned who the two witnesses of Rev 11 are. John was most assuredly among them. But if I go into detail of how to identify the two, the thread...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Elijah is not being sent back before the great and terrible Day of the Lord. The same Spirit that was in Elijah was also in John, and that's how John-the-Baptist fulfills this prophesy. This was supernatural because the Holy Spirit would not be IN man, as He was in both Elijah and John, until...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Yes, I agreed with your original post, and thought we were like minded until I read through the rest of your replies. John-the-Baptist is fulfillment of Elijah that was to come. Elijah will not be coming a second time.

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    I'm beginning to wonder if you really understand the meaning of Amillennialism??? Amils, such as myself, covenantee, WPM do NOT believe there will be a future millennium on this earth. Amillennial = no ONE thousand years on this earth or the one to come. Amil defines a thousand years of Rev...

    PAUL WROTE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PRETRIB RAPTURE TEACHERS

    As we can see in these two verses, Paul was simply assuring the Thessalonians that not only had NOT our Lord Jesus Christ yet returned, but then goes on to explain to them how the Day of Christ' return wasn't even close (at hand), because He will not come again until what he writes shall come to...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    You're missing a key word in the verse which says "hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:" They KNOW and with GREAT FEAR that they shall be called to stand before God's face! That's why they long to hide, as if they could, because when they...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I think you've pegged him! Seems he's just another in the long line of premillennialists but using another tactic trying to prove the unprovable.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Exactly! And John did restore the hearts of many people, telling them the Messiah was coming, and baptized them for remission of sin. It seems some don't get it because they hold to a view of ALL national Israel being saved when Christ returns to establish a one thousand year kingdom on this...

    I seem to have totally misunderstood your initial post.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    But John did not tell them he was the one the angel foretells his father, Zachariah, would come in the SPIRIT of Elijah. That is how the prophesy was fulfilled, John-the-Baptist was not Elijah returning from the dead. John was however in the power and spirit of Elijah because he was filled...
