They had not yet received the promise of physical resurrection. None will be resurrected to immortality and incorruptible until all are made perfect together when the last trump sounds. These Old Covenant faithful saints did indeed receive the "better promises" they chose to die for...

True, the family of God, those who have been born again of the Spirit are in the spiritual Kingdom of God. Christ tells us no man can know or enter the Kingdom of God without being born again. (Jo 3) All mankind knows of God, because from creation the invisible things of God are clearly seen...

Why not 10 and 4, which also equals 14? The number 10 and its multiples 100, 1000 etc. signifying the fullness of whatever is in view, and the number 4 symbolizing the universality of something. As long as we're speculating what would be the significance of the number 10 associated with the...

It may not matter to yourself and others, but it matters a great deal to people of faith. Consider for instance Christ's Apostle, Thomas who understood without doubting the resurrected Lord is God. As you say the Bible really is quite clear. John 20:28 (KJV) And Thomas answered and said unto...

The lake of fire is also the fate for those whose names are not recorded in the Book of Life. Revelation 20:15 (KJV) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. We get a better understanding of the words Christ spoke when we understand 'angels'...

Bob, you seem to believe that Adam & Eve's sin caught God by surprise. That God had to come up with plan B because His plan A failed? That totally obliterates the Sovereign Providence of God. If sin of man forced God to go to plan B as you suppose, He would not have provided a way for mankind...

Bob, Daniel explains the dream for Nebuchadnezzar. The chopped down tree, according to Daniel represented King Nebuchadnezzar, whose Kingdom had become so powerful that the king saw himself to be as a god. Therefore, the God of heaven would take the kingdom from him and for seven years he...

A separate thought would not begin with 'and'. You cannot arbitrarily detach this verse from its context to force an unbiblical doctrine. The entire chapter is one continuous thought of all that came upon the earth with the birth of the Christ child. Only one verse (12) does not begin with...

What does this have to do with when/if Satan has been or shall be cast out of heaven to the earth? Don't know how you understand Scripture, but very clearly John writes in Rev 12 that when the Christ child was born there was a war in heaven between Michael and his angels and Satan and his...

I find only one place in Rev 20 where a/the thousand years equates to TIME. There is NOWHERE in Scripture that proves there will be ONE thousand more years of TIME after Christ comes again. You have nothing but Rev 20 which shows a thousand years equate to time when living saints both lived...

The Old Covenant people called Israel belong to the Israel of God according to faith. Those of Old who believed the prophesy of the Messiah who would come demonstrated faith. The Old Covenant people heard the Gospel through the prophets in the same way all people hear the Gospel as the Church...

All who are born again of the Spirit are the "Israel of God" Bob! I don't know where you get the idea that only 'some' are of the Israel of God? There is only ONE faithful people spiritually in the Kingdom of God, and it does not matter what ethnic persuasion they are. All believers are of...

It's one thing to speak of the identity of God, but it's altogether something offensive to most Christians to speak of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior as anything less than God!

I agree the Israel of God is indeed the Church Bob. The spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven was in force when the Christ child was born. And because of the war that took place in heaven when Michael and his angels cast Satan and his angels out of heaven and to the earth we read of a loud voice...

Yes, as written in Job, Satan had access to both heaven and earth before the birth of Christ, when he and his angels were forever cast out of heaven by Michael and his angels. It's Satan's access to heaven that ended when he was cast down to the earth.

Elie, The physical death for the unrighteous is eternal when they are cast alive into the burning lake with body and soul. Once the soul is destroyed eternally the unrighteous will never live again. Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the...

Elie, I've already shown with Scripture what and when "great tribulation" is and began. On Judgment Day it will be too late for any to be saved, for then the Kingdom of God will be complete, and believers will be resurrected to immortality and incorruption to be with Christ on the new earth...

This is not truth Elie! The bodily resurrection in the hour coming is either eternal life for the just, or damnation for the unjust. You are defending a lie Elie. The Bible is very clear men die once, and after this the judgment. And only those "many" who look for His second coming shall He...

Elie, the great tribulation comes as the Gospel is proclaimed unto all the world. Great tribulation/persecution began against the Church on earth as She faithfully went forth with the Gospel. The innumerable multitude in heaven is a picture of ALL the redeemed in heaven, after they have come...

Elie, the resurrection of both the just and the unjust is the just are resurrected to life, and the unjust resurrected to damnation. There is no in-between stage. In this age before we die we must receive Christ as our eternal Savior, we must be born again, or at the resurrection we will be...
