I say it's scripturally baseless and unfounded. And you need to have a more open mind. You're reasoning from interpretation and not from scripture. You've assumed that the statue of the beast is the abomination of desolation, but the scripture doesn't say this. In the book of Daniel...

Sure. The scripture plainly states that no one seeks God. It also states that all have turned aside. See Psalm 14 and Romans 3:12. The scripture also says that men not only resist following God, but are at enmity with Him. See the first half of Romans chapter 8, Ephesians 2:1-3, John 1:10-13...

Unbelief isn't idolatry, but believing that you can do things as God does them, by the power of your own will and for your own purposes certainly is. To do this is to place yourself upon the throne. Men have been doing this since the fall of man, but the abomination of desolation is about...

I fully agree. The spirit of anti-christ, that which denies that Jesus is the Christ, has been present in the world at least since His appearing (and probably before,) but the fullness of the expression of the anti-christ, the son of perdition, is foreshadowed in the person of Judas Iscariot...

I have heard this interpretation a number of times before and am inclined to believe it. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that the end time signs are physical manifestations of spiritual truths that have preceeded them. Let me start very simply, with the Church, the resurrection...

Thank you for your astute observations and complete references. I realize that it's difficult to understand some of the prophecies of our Lord with regard to end times events as litteral interpretation doesn't always work. Jesus made reference to some of His own generation being witness to the...

Somehow I fear that you may have missed my point. I've been reading the scriptures for about 47 years now (started at about the age of 8 years old,) but clearly couldn't understand them until after I was born again in Christ Jesus, back in the fall of 1995. The Lord, through the Holy Spirit has...

I've heard a good amount of preaching on the topic of the abomination of desolation, mentioned by our Savior in the gospels, and from the book of Daniel, and all the doctrine has revolved around a rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. I'm not sure that this is at all necessary in the time line...

I can accept your understanding of the great white throne judgment, not because the Lord has taught me this, but I see it as more in character with his grace. E.G. not everyone had the chance to hear the gospel. However, Rev.20:7-9 does speak of the gathering together of Gog and Magog for battle...

I don't mean to simply trample on your beliefs, but I don't think that a spirit needs to be resurrected. The spirit (or breath as it is called in the old Testament writings) is from God and eternal and doesn't suffer a physical death. Spiritual death however is understood to be separation from...

When I was a newborn in Christ, I really loved the idea of being raptured away by God prior to the events of the Great tribulation, but over the years, the Teacher has been showing me verses which led me to doubt the doctrine as it was taught to me. 1st Thessalonians definitely foretells the...
