    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, dragonfly. I don't know WHAT you are reading, but it's not "The Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary" of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, copyrighted by James Strong, S.T.D., LL. D., in 1890 in Madison, NJ, which Dr. Strong labeled, "A Concise Dictionary of the Words in the...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, dragonfly and logabe. Actually, "Yisra'el" doesn't mean either one. It means "A prince with God." It is spelled in Hebrew yod-sin-reish-alef-lamed. The root word is "S-R" and is pronounced "Sar" as in "Sar Shalom," meaning "Prince of Peace." The feminine of the root word adds a hei (our...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, Saint. Not quite. Thanks for the info, though. No, adoniy, like it's Greek counterpart, kurios, both CAN mean "lord," but they also can mean and are used in the Scriptures for "sir," "sire," "master," and "mister." So, I believe that Yeshua` was saying that David said, "YHVH said to my...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, dragonfly. Sure, I understand you. The Greek of Matthew 23:39 is clear: 39 legoo gar humin, ou mee me ideete ap' arti heoos an' eipeete, "Eulogeemenos ho erchomenos en onomati Kuriou." 39 legoo = 39 I-say gar = for humin, = to-you-(plural), ou = no/not-(positively) mee =...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, veteran. However, not all of the ten tribes were taken to Assyria. There was a remnant of them left in the Land. They became the Samaritans (Shomroniym) during Yeshua`s time. By Yeshua`s time, they had intermarried with the Goyim (Gentiles) who lived in the Land and were thus looked...

    no O.T.=====no heaven??

    Shalom, dragonfly. While this may be true on an individual basis to one who has passed from death unto life, one can see that it is NOT true in a practical sense, neither physically nor spiritually, for the populace as a whole. Frankly, people still die, both physically, and, when they stand...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom to all who are reading. Have you ever considered the last conundrum that Yeshua` (Jesus) gave to the P'rushiym (Pharisees)? Matthew 22:41-46 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, Saint. Thank you, Bob, for all that. THAT'S what I'm talking about! I appreciate your input. Shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. It's not a "silly, inconsequential point"; it's fundamental to this discussion! Besides, one can see that the Son of Man is human; therefore, He is of the progeny...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Shalom, kjhughes. Book, chapter and verse, please. Shalom, kjhughes. I don't know you from Adam. If you're not this "Timothy," then who is he? and why are his letters so valuable to you? Why would you propagate them so voraciously? WHY WOULD YOU CARE?! These "letters from God" are about as...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, kjhughes. Hmph! Boldface all you want! Increase the volume all you want (although it does nothing to my computer)! That won't change the fact that YOU are not to speak for GOD! Yeshua`s name is NOT "Yehowshuwa`!" "Yehowshuwa`" (which you render "Yehushua") is spelled...

    Shalom, kjhughes. Why are YOU twisting His words? JUST QUOTE SCRIPTURE!

    Shalom, veteran. And, he's also a bit of a troll, throwing something into every topic on the board, don't you think?

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    LOL! Now I KNOW you to be a false prophet! You don't even know what you are talking about! And, Yeshua` would NEVER be so careless! Tell me, what does it mean for Yeshua` to be the Head of the Corner? Tell me, what exactly does the following mean and are they truly connected? "Behold, it shall...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Shalom, kjhughes. Do not attempt to speak presumptuously for Yeshua`! Speak for yourself, and let HIM speak to us through His Word by QUOTING Him! You are NOT the Mashiach!

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    I don't know who you're getting this letter from, but His name is YESHUA`, pronounced "yay-SHOE-ah." The name to which you are referring is most likely that which is translated as "Joshua" or "Jehoshua." That's NOT the same name! They don't mean the same thing! And, if you're merging the...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Shalom, kjhughes. Well, that all SOUNDS good, but the truth is that God the Father did NOT write it, and the liberties taken in this response border on blasphemy. Tickling the ears like this may be a feel-good kind of answer, but it is NOT the truth! Stick to the Scriptures! If you don't...

    I Corinthians 13 For Eschatological Enthusiasts

    Shalom to all. Yes, I know that I sometimes (all the time?) come across as a know-it-all, and for that I do ask you all to please forgive me. Of course, I like so many others believe that God has led me to certain truths, but I will try to be more thoughtful of others and consider their...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, veteran. LOL!!! Well, if THAT'S the case, then Dani'el 9:27 was fulfilled in the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes' league with his 14-year-old nephew (circa 171 B.C.), Ptolemy VI Philometer, son of his sister, Cleopatra I, for THAT is the "league" made in Dani'el 11:23! With a small army...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. You're right that it was not the right time ... from GOD'S point of view; however, "hind sight is 20-20." From their perspective, God through Yeshua` His Anointed One WAS offering them the Kingdom! It was a LEGITIMATE OFFER! IF they could have accepted that offer...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. Oh, quit being a cantankerous, old ninny! It's hard to say ANYTHING good enough for YOU! I'm not saying that the Davidic covenant BEGAN with Yeshua`; I'm saying that it was STRENGTHENED (yigbar) with Him! IT'S WITH HIM TODAY!!! However, Yeshua` haMashiach is not...
