The current so-called "Golden Gate" that is presently blocked up is NOT the same as the eastern gate of Christ's days, which was torn down to the last stone in AD 70, once it had fulfilled its purpose for Christ's second coming return to that location. Today's current "Golden Gate" is the work...

Here is just one to start with, that I'm sure you could probably quote yourself and agree with. "For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (2 Cor. 5:10). You believe...

How can that be possible that the Holy Spirit and the Church would be slain and lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem? The Holy Spirit is not something that mankind can dispose of - even for 3-1/2 days. And Christ told us that even the gates of Hell could not withstand the advance of the church...

God intends to rid this planet of any remaining human evil at the final judgment in our future. A planet purged of all evil, or even the possibility of evil cropping up again, is even better than the Garden of Eden. God can always do "one better" than we can imagine.

That is not my interpretation - Scripture labels this as "seventy sevens". Everyone in Christ's days had been counting down the time of those "seventy sevens" and the Pharisees sent a delegation to John in AD 30 asking if he were the fulfillment of the Messiah prophecy. "Seventy sevens" from...

This is the end of the period described as the "beginning of sorrows" described in Matthew 24:8. Those particular sorrows would come to an end. The NHNE conditions of Revelation 21-22 are not sinless. Sinners committing sinful activity is still going on outside New Jerusalem's open gates...

I didn't change the subject. I wrote that all the Matthew references you gave concerning a "completion of the age" were just one of the multiple ages that were then coming to an end in Paul's days. Paul spoke to Felix about a resurrection of the just and the unjust that was "about to be" in...

NO, there aren't two. The Isaiah 65 description of the New Heavens and the New Earth is the SAME conditions as the NHNE of Revelation 21-22, as well as being the SAME conditions of the NHNE that 2 Peter 3:13 said his own audience was then expecting in their days. It is the SAME description...

There is a verse in Revelation that the Full Preterists tend to ignore, and it is Revelation 10:4 - the prophecies that the seven thunders uttered which John was forbidden to write down, but was to "seal up" for times to come later on. This information was not needed for John's immediate...

If you check Isaiah 65's description of the New Heavens and the New Earth, it INCLUDES sinners, the righteous and sinners dying, curses, the birth of offspring, planting, harvesting, building houses, praying to God. There are some things in this list that cannot possibly describe the after-life...

Well, it was a bit more than just a single "end of the age" that the NT writers discussed. Paul wrote about "the ENDS (PLURAL) of the AGES (PLURAL) that had come upon them at that time (1 Cor. 10:11 - "Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our...

Yep, this is very true. I press this point on those who think that the Old Covenant was only in a "transition" of sorts until AD 70. That Old Covenant was dead as a doornail on Christ' resurrection day when the New Covenant was launched with a new high priesthood. God was just "taking out...

We are presently IN the NHNE reality. After all, Hebrews 12:22 wrote "But ye ARE COME unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels..." This was an already-established city for the saints. It has already come down from...

YES. I do agree. As in Ezekiel 45:1-7 when the prophet was describing the post-exilic arrangement of the land of Israel being set up. "Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord, an HOLY PORTION of the land: the length shall be the...

This AOD is "ARMIES surrounding Jerusalem" (Luke 21:2-21), and standing in the holy place where Gentiles were not allowed to be. This abomination of a standing army in Jerusalem happened once before under Antiochus E when "ARMS shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of...

No, "hoitines" meaning "whoseover" doesn't mark a distinction between two different groups in this verse. That little Greek word "kai" has TWO variable interpretations, meaning either "And" or "namely", as used in an explanatory sense. The KJV (and others) mistakenly pick the wrong...

That is speaking of the soul of a person which is given the security of eternal life during a person's natural lifetime after coming to faith in Christ. Those who believe are demonstrating that they are then in possession of eternal life. They never lose it. "He that believeth on me HATH...

You are absolutely correct here. The Armageddon site was only where the combatants were "gathered together". From that location, they were to "go up on the breadth of the earth" across the land of Israel, converging on the "beloved city" of Jerusalem where the battle actually was to take...

You keep misidentifying the creatures in that Rev. 9 prophecy. They weren't scorpions. They were called "locusts" who had tails like scorpions. All that symbolic language describes the torment caused by the soldiers under Gessius Florus the Judean governor who was doing his best to incite a...

Jesus said that whoever believes in Him "shall not die forever". The bodies of believers do not stay physically dead forever. They are changed in the resurrection process into an incorruptible and immortal condition. But there is no such thing as a promise of a translation change for us...
