I don’t know if you noticed this but saying the morally corrupt, unbelieving world-order (that was prior to the cross) continues until all eschatological prophecy is fulfilled, actually would agree best with the preterist view. Amill would say Satan was bound after the cross so the world-order...

The ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars are given in Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: In the new heaven new earth the Genesis 1:14 ordinances...

Let me get your thoughts on this, I see a repeating pattern in Revelation 12, would Michael taking a stand in Daniel 12:1 aline with Revelation 12:17? Here is a summary of the Revelation 12 pattern. Vs 4 Stars of heaven cast to earth Vs 4 devour her child Vs 6 woman fled into wilderness Vs...

The resurrection in Daniel 12:1-2 does seem to line up with the mello resurrection in Acts 24:15 which puts it in 70AD, and I’m not trying to argue against that. However in Daniel 12:1 it says at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people...

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one...

Well I can say the bride of Christ is a different metaphor and is not related with Christ marrying new Jerusalem. There, I just made a statement like you did. Now any argument against my position I can say I have corrected you.

I think the parables of the ten virgins is about the time period between the cross and 70AD, just like the Matthew 24 coming of the Son of man is about His 70AD coming. In that time period the new covenant was in force and the old covenant hadn’t vanished yet. Under the new covenant, a person...

You wouldn’t have to be married to become the body of Christ but you would have to be “joined”. 1 Corinthians 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

And the Bible clearly teaches that we are currently the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. So how can we be the body of Christ when the marriage hasn’t consummated yet?

Sure, and there are people on this thread that mix and conflate metaphors to make the church the bride.

1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Corinthians 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. If the church is the bride of Christ and we are currently the body of Christ, how can the...

Proverbs 25:6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: 7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. Yea, I’m ready. I’m not going...

The wise virgins represent the new covenant and the foolish virgins represent the old convent. Here’s an important point that I haven’t brought up yet, the old covenant is a bilateral agreement. God has requirements He has to perform and man has requirements they have to perform in that...

Isaiah 62:4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. Is the land is the wise virgins? I’m just reading the Bible for what it...

Yes, good point.

Well, the new covenant produces children so when the last child is produced her work is done, she has made herself ready.

<4960> sustoicheo Immediate Biblical Setting (Galatians 4:21-31) Paul employs the verb once, in Galatians 4:25, as he contrasts the covenants represented by Hagar and Sarah. “Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with...

I get the impression that you need a straw man argument here. I think we are in agreement that allegorically Sarah is our mother and Abraham is our father but not necessarily literally through linage. I’m not sure why you felt like you had to go into detail about that. Maybe you’re trying to...

Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection...

Sarah and Agar and their relationship with Abraham are the allegory for the two covenants. Sarah is not the mother of us all, it is the new covenant which is new Jerusalem that is the mother of us all. If someone traces their linage back to Agar or Esau they can still be saved, their mother...
