    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    Shalom, thekingdomkeys. Well, it's not just a "code" so to speak. It is a LITERAL daylight period! Up until the Messiah returns, a day is a normal day - a 24-hour rotation of the earth with approximately 12 hours (more or less) of darkness followed by approximately 12 hours of light. When the...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    Shalom, again, brothers and sisters. Also, another thought came to mind: We know that it is obvious that most of the time a "day" refers to a normal 24-hour rotation of the earth with respect to the sun. HOWEVER, a "day" may also refer to the time one portion of the earth is exposed to the...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    Shalom, everyone. Not to put too fine a point on it, but has anyone considered that the "Day of the LORD" is different than the "Day of the Lord?" "Day of the LORD" is the "Yowm YHVH" in Hebrew, but the "Day of the Lord" is the "Day of the Master" and the "Day of OUR Lord" is the "Day of OUR...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. One might also want to look carefully at verse 6, as well: Rev 20:6 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years...

    What prophesy are we looking for next?

    Shalom, aspen. It's when the genes for the right hand are waving goodbye to the genes for the left hand during mitosis!

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, TWC. You're right! The only thing that I would like to see a little different in your post is within your quotation of 1 Thes. 5: If only the quotation had used the word "rescue" instead of "salvation," it would have made the passage clearer to understand. "God did not appoint us to...

    What prophesy are we looking for next?

    Shalom, veteran. That's meshuggah (crazy)! Seeing the truth about how this prophecy is fulfilled is no more "prideful belief in the elders of Y'hudah" than "accepting Christ" is a form of works! We know that "in my flesh dwelleth no good thing" and that it is "God that justifieth." It's the...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    Shalom, David. Sorry for jumping in late, but I post elsewhere as well and sometimes conversations get away from me. There are only three locations in the B'rit Chadashah (the NT) that mention a "day of Christ": Philippians 1:6, 10; and 2:16. 2 Thessalonians 2:2 was mistranslated as such in...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, Phillip. Oh! So now you're the expert on who is to be destroyed, are you?! I have not wrested or twisted any Scriptures. Is "Christ Jesus resurrected" the only "Holy Spirit" you know because you never read the Tanakh (the OT)? Or, are you just that forgetful?! Have you never read or...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shabbat shalom, Phillip. Ummm... no. Yeshua haMashiach Elohiym (Jesus the Messiah of God) is NOT the same Person as the Ruach haQodesh Elohiym (the Holy Spirit of God). This is important to understand because it goes back to why there is a doctrine of the Trinity at all! What were Yeshua`s...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. Ever hear the phrase, "he's so 'heavenly' minded that he's of no earthly good"? SHAME ON YOU for falling back on an ad hominem attack! You have taken the words "flesh" and "carnal thinking" to abnormal extremes! You need to stick to the contexts of those words! Paul...

    What prophesy are we looking for next?

    Shabbat shalom, Doug. I believe the answer is clear in Yeshua`s own words: Matt 23:37-39 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her...

    SIGNS OF THE END OF THE WORLD !!!

    Shalom, tomwebster. Sorry, but that is not necessarily an indicator. You need to understand that the Greek definite article is used differently than the English definite article. There are many times that the definite article is used in Greek that is not translated into English. For instance...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, veteran. First, allow me to apologize; my statement “I’d hate to have to rebuke you” was meant as a JOKE! Guess veiled attempts at humor are easily missed in writing. I truly am sorry that you took it for being a “spiteful attitude.” That was certainly NOT my intent. I’m not the...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, Buzzfruit. Yes, you're right. But, remember: THIS "sword" cuts both ways! That can also be true in what you believe, as well! Well, can't argue with that. But, what does THAT prove about God's "abode?" NOTHING! For me, it simply means that the "heavens and the earth" are the PHYSICAL...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, Buzzfruit. You may CLAIM I'm "in error," but that doesn't PROVE I'm in error. I believe that YOU are in error - not on purpose, just misled by others. I use many Scriptures because they are the ONLY way to understand the truth! I DO understand them and study them at their fundamental...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, Buzzfruit. First, let me re-introduce you to 2 Peter 3:3-13: 2 Peter 3:3-13 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, Buzzfruit. I didn't say it was made in the sky; I said it is BEING made ABOVE the sky! Now hear this loud and clear: THERE IS NO "HEAVEN!!!" It doesn't exist! The closest thing to it that the Scriptures talk about is the New Jerusalem! Again, when people talk about "Heaven" what do...

    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    Shalom, veteran. Good. Just so long as we're clear, and you're not trying to paint me as some sort of heathen or something! I'd hate to have to rebuke you. The Greek has a different wording than the English versions: 28 Kai mee fobeisthe apo toon apoktennontoon to sooma teen de psucheen mee...
