    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    I have no idea! I have attempted to interpret Daniel along with the other many verses in other books the best I can. But thank you for all of your comments and thoughts.

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    Have you matched the 70 weeks to your he arrival of Jesus? Have you also found the 70 weeks begin at the same starting date as the 4th and final Great Jubilee cycle? Have you found that both the 70 weeks prophecy and the 4th Great Jubilee are 490 literal years long? Hav you found that Jesus was...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    25“Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; I believe the prophecy tells us there will be 69 weeks AND THEN the Messiah will come. The Messiah is given the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Peter, I did not write the word “Okay” because I agreed… it was because I was not going to argue with him.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I understand what you are suggesting, but I do not believe Paul is teaching a mystery disconnected from Daniel, the prophets, or the words of Christ. Paul does say the mystery was kept secret and made known to him by revelation. But Paul also says in Romans 16:26 that this same mystery is now...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Great question Peter.....When Paul speaks of the “mystery” revealed to him, I do not understand him to mean that the Old Testament said nothing about it at all. Rather, the mystery was present in seed form, shadow, promise, and prophecy — but it was not fully revealed in its completed form until...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Here is part of a narrative found within my commentary on the Book of Daniel. I believe it speaks to this issue, and hope it might bring some thought to this topic - thanks. Paul asks, “Has God rejected His people?” and answers, “Certainly not.” I agree completely. God has not rejected Israel...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I would respectfully request that you might return to the initial post #1 that provides markers under both A and B. Also, I believe these questions above have been addressed in detail. Please take a look at some of the responses within this 20 page topic. Again, I attempted to identify all the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The phrase “son of perdition” can describe someone marked for destruction, but the surrounding context determines who is being identified. Judas was one historical traitor. The “man of sin” is a prophetic lawless power/personage revealed after the falling away. The shared phrase does not make...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Read post # 5104 please.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Why do you say that? God has clearly told us HOW to be save. He has clearly told us to CONTINUE to abide in HIM. That is the way we know we are saved. We are not saved by trying to keep the law - that is impossible. But even though we will continue to sin, as long as we accept Jesus as our...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Please consider: John 15:5–6 “I am the vine, you are the branches… If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire.” This is one of the clearest. Jesus speaks of a branch in Him that does not continue to abide and...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Please consider: I do not believe Scripture supports the idea that a person can come to Christ and then live in permanent rebellion with no danger to his salvation. Jesus said, “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered” (John 15:6). He also said, “He who...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Once again, please address the 10 statements in post #346 above. Or if you would like, please provide your interpretations for the verses in Daniel 7. 7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The only comment I would like to make and this is NOT to take away anything Covenantee made, it is that I firmly believe God has identified the PERSON who goes against Him in Daniel as the little horn. And the term "antiChrist" which is found in only 4 verses in the NT speaks of the "spirit of...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Thanks William but I would respectfully ask that you might be willing to address the ten statement in post #346 above. Daniel provides so much information on the little horn, when he will come, what blasphemous things he will do and say. God has indeed given much of His prophetic ink to the one...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You offered absolutely nothing but a comment telling me it is not Rome. You have not addressed any of the comments I laid out because you have not studied Daniel. Please tell me how you interpret the verses in Daniel that tell us when and who comes out of pagan Rome.... and how that is relevant...
