    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Shabbat shalom, Interceptor. Okay. I'm pulling out my collection of notes, but it's not small. My notes were 24 typewritten single-spaced pages just for the NT; I'm still locating my OT notes. You've gotta understand: This was an EXTENSIVE study covering several years! There are 125...

    AndtheMoonIntoBlood

    Shalom, Trekson (AND Hitch). WHOA, Nelly! Let's back up here! Verse 21 is NOT current reality!!! The problem is that we MISUSE the words "saved" and "salvation," today! How they are used and interpreted in the OT is correct; how Paul used the verses in Romans 10 is correct, but HOW WE'VE...

    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Fooey. I'm usually more careful than this. I guess I was more tired than I thought, and now it's too late to edit. The second half of the declension should have been translated in plural. I did a copy and past from the first half to make the second half and I changed the Greek without changing...

    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Shalom, Brother Bob. I have added my comments in the following in purple. That's all I can do tonight. Good. At least you're thinking! Do you have access to a good Greek grammar book? Here's why: Sometimes the things that you've quoted are PLURAL while others are singular. According to...

    The True Interpretation of Revelation and Daniel

    Shalom, day. (Shhh... It was the only way to get it to add up to the 2300 days!)

    What is 'Futurism'?

    Shalom, JosyWales. "Futurism" is a nickname for "Premillennialism," the concept that Yeshua` haMashiach (Jesus the Messiah or Jesus the Christ) will return in the future before a time known as the Millennium, a "thousand-year" period which defines the first 1000 years of the reign of the...

    Kingdom

    Shalom, whitestone. <Shrug> Your loss.

    Kingdom

    Shalom, whitestone. LOL! You really tickle me, man! I ask you for Scriptural proof, and you say "look at yourself!" Do you know how silly that is?! Okay, let me assure you the best I know how. I am born again by the Ruach haQodesh Elohiym, the Holy Spirit of God. He has taken my sin and...

    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Shalom, veteran. Well, you say one way, I say the other. Let's look at the texts again: Matthew 24:1-3 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily...

    Kingdom

    Shalom, whitestone. LOL! ROFL! Did I EVER say He wasn't MY King??!!! I own Him as My King before He comes to BE the King! Don't make the mistake that so many do that Yeshua` is CURRENTLY haMelekh (the King) as promised to the Jews in the prophecies! He WILL rule and reign forever, and of His...

    Kingdom

    Shalom, Hitch. WHY would you have to resort to some ancient Westminster Confession of Faith?! As I've said before, "Let God be true and EVERY man a liar!" I hold no more stock in this "Confession" than I do in the Communist Manifesto! The ONLY thing you've quoted that I would consider are the...

    MillennialMathamatics

    Shalom, Hitch. "All power" does not a Kingdom make! Would you like to refresh my mind on "Paul's definition of the Kingdom of God"? To the best of my recollection, he's never made such a definition; he didn't NEED to make such a definition! Every Jew in Isra'el knew what the Kingdom was...

    Do You Believe???

    Shalom, Hitch. Maybe that verse doesn't quite say it, but Luke does: Luke 24:50-53 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shalom, Hitch. Scriptures please. Upon what do you base your conclusions? Actually, it's hard for me to believe that the Messiah CAN'T be more of a King than He is today! As I've said before, if Yeshua` the Messiah is currently "reigning," then He is the most ineffective and impotent King...

    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Shalom, veteran. I realize that everyone has an "off" day, but I never expected you to make such a silly mistake! No, Yeshua` was talking about the ROMANS digging out the gold and silver from the Temple that melted down during the fire and flowed between the stones of the Temple! You...

    Rev. 16:15

    Shalom, Trekson. Okay, so we've been down one path in this discussion. Allow me to back up and go down a completely different path. It is important to understand this verse in its context more than trying to understand its placement as a topic. A study help, such as your study Bible, are...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, guys. It's not that hard to see what a "keruv" ("cherub") is. (And, "k'ruviym" or "cherubim" or "cherubims" in the KJV is the plural form in Hebrew.) All one has to do is look at Ezekiel 1 and 10: Ezekiel 1:1-13 1:1 In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I...

    The Temple Destroyed in AD 70

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. Well, being in agreement with you was short-lived. No, this is not true. The "Western Wall," once known as the "Wailing Wall," is NOT the western or any other wall of the Temple. It is a RETENTION WALL of the platform, the terrace, upon which the Temple used to stand and...

    Who Is Telling the Truth ?

    Shalom, Hitch. I don't have a problem at all with what Yeshua` said in John 6:54. In fact, I LOVE what He said, and I'm a futurist! It's similar to what He said in John 3:14-18: John 3:14-18 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15...

    MillennialMathamatics

    Shalom, Hitch. (You do know that "shalom" means "peace," don't you?) His physical presence has EVERYTHING to do with His royal status! Don't think that ... Eph 1:15-23 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks...
