    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, veteran. Wow. I had no idea you were that far behind in your learning of your Jewish heritage. That's what I mean when I mention your Jewish roots. I'm sorry. Had I known the depth we had to go, I would have taken a different approach. It's just that I really like your take on the 10...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, veteran. Baloney. First, did you mean to say "Starting at Luke 17:20?" If not, it doesn't make sense why you would then backtrack from chapter 20 to chapter 17. Second, you DO know that Luke 17 is NOT the same event as the Olivet Discourse, right? Simply look at the context...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Oh, and you do?! Tell me, this: How would you define "flesh" and "spirit?" Be careful how you answer; your answer will belie your understanding! And, when one says, "Heeding the Jews' religion has blinded you," just goes to show how LITTLE one knows about the Jewish roots of his own faith...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, veteran. I quite disagree. I believe that your "separation between flesh and spirit" is fabricated to theological specifications and has NOTHING to do with God's Word!

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, veteran. LOL! What sort of food is "angel's food?" Besides cake, what do we really know? You're surmising that there IS such a thing! I propose that angels DO eat "man's food," because first and foremost, an "angel" (Greek: aggelos) is a "MESSENGER" and that may as easily be a HUMAN...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Shalom, BibleScribe. No, not at all. You see, "heaven" is not eternity; the New Earth is eternity. A New Heaven, or "ouranon kainon" in Greek (Rev. 21:1), is simply the new atmosphere around that New Earth, because in the middle of "ouranos" is where all the birds fly ("pasin tois orneois tois...

    What prophesy are we looking for next?

    Shalom, terry. I believe that the extended boundaries of Isra'el's borders will be a direct result of the King of kings reigning in Yerushalayim, Yisra'el, during the Millennium (and after), not because of some "antichrist" figure.

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, Rach. Well, I asked for it. As a word of precaution, please understand that much of this will take a while to answer, not because they are difficult to answer or because I don't have or know the answers, but because they will simply take time to develop to the point you will understand...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, veteran. Just a quick comment and then to bed. You assume too much to say I haven't done my studies. I understand that Nebuchadnezzar never conquered the 10 northern tribes of Isra'el; HOWEVER, Bavel (Babylon) was conquered BY the Medes and Persians (through Koresh or Cyrus II the...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, Rach. Yes. No, and No. Simple enough? Shalom, Rach. Let me be clearer. Yeshua` IS seated with His Father on a throne in what some people call "Heaven," the New Jerusalem. However, His time spent there is to "make a place for us." (John 14:1-3) None of us have gone there, even those...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, veteran. It's not about DOCTRINE; it's about whether they have a VALID CLAIM! Do they have the credentials that PROVE they are children of Isra'el? First and foremost, a child of Isra'el needs to be able to PROVE their lineage for the sake of his or her claim to the inheritance! If you...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, veteran. You should know that I, for one, do NOT reject the 10 lost tribes of Isra'el, wherever they may be. They, too, are children of Isra'el and as such are just as important as the tribe of Y'hudah is. However, some of the claims as to who are the 10 lost tribes is questionable. If...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, 7angels. Don't mind a bit; happy to comply: First, no, I do not believe that the "church" will be raptured away before Isra'el goes through the tribulation. (BTW, make sure you leave the Hebrew word for God, "El," intact within the name "Isra'el"; that's one reason why I set it off...

    How Many Antichrist Objects in 1 John 2:18?

    Shalom, veteran. Isn't it interesting that what you just said is BACKWARDS from what the Scriptures said? Being a stickler for details, notice which is said to be which: the great dragon (the huge lizard or reptile) IS that old serpent (that original snake) called the Devil (which means...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, veteran. Allow me. (Of course, you're not going to like my answer, but, oh well.) Luke 17:34-37 34 "Legoo humin, tautee tee nukti esontai duo epi klinees mias, ho heis paralee(m)ftheesetai kai ho heteros afetheesetai; 35 esontai duo aleethousai epi to auto, hee mia...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, WhiteKnuckle. Really? Just like that, huh? There is still a difference of opinion as to WHEN that "LAST TRUMP" will be! Post Trib says that the seventh trumpet of Revelation 11:15-19 is the "last trump." Pre-wrath says that it is a "last trump" of this time of grace that will happen...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, Ridgerunner (and to you, too, Rach). All these verses are saying is that our STANDING AS KINGS (AND PRIESTS) is already a "DONE DEAL!" They do NOT say that we are currently reigning; in fact, Revelation 5:10 says quite the opposite. "... and we SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH!" FUTURE TENSE...

    How Many Antichrist Objects in 1 John 2:18?

    Shalom, brothers and sisters. Happy Resurrection Day! I consider the first day of every week a holiday ("holy day"), just as Shabbat, the day of rest (also a "holy day"), is the last day of every week! If this keeps up, EVERY day will be a holiday! Hmmm.... Sounds like the New Earth, doesn't...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, teamventure. Hey, thanks, bro! That's all anyone could ask for.

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, veteran. You really don't have a clue as to what you're doing, do you? Look, I'm going to spell it out for you using these last couple of sentences: You said, "...and now YOU'RE doing the very thing YOU WRONGLY ACCUSED ME OF! And YOU'RE EVEN LYING about it, inferring I was attacking a...
