    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    CONTINUED FROM THE ORIGINAL POST THE 70TH WEEK At the start of the 70th week (483 years), Christ started His ministry on earth to fulfill the covenant He made with Abraham: Matt 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I...

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, No, you are wrong about me. I am a very humble person who relies upon God for my every breath. He is the One who opened by eyes and gave me the gift of salvation. I was no better than any other person who had ever lived before He converted me - and this includes Judas who...

    Dear 360watt, There are numerous scriptures which teach that a believer can lose their salvation. Here is what you are not considering: A believer can be "killed" by Satan and lose their salvation after they have received the Early Rain of the Spirit. These verses below apply to a called...

    Dear Michiah-Imla, Isa 28: 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares: 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Lolette, You said: I teach dispensational pretribulational eschatology which is the minority position in the believing churches. Are you teaching here that a believer can lose their salvation? This is evil. Sorry but this is an unbeliever. A BELIEVER CANNOT BE POSSESSED BY EVIL...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, I can't respond to everything you stated but I will respond to some of it. You said: Well you are part of the church so can we assume what you teach is completely false? what you teach falls under the blanket of covenant amillenial eschatology. which redefines so many...

    Dear Michiah-Imla, 2 Pet 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:” To properly understand what Peter is saying here requires a high level of understanding. The "calling" occurs when an...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, Do you understand why you and I have such a different understanding of scripture? Our difference of understanding is caused by us being on a different portion of the Pathway to Salvation. I'll try to explain below. Do you understand what this one verse parable means? Mat...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, Point #1: The Elect are the armies of Christ. They are His kings and priests who will reign with Him in the final age. They are presented in Revelation chapter 19 and in Joel chapter 2. Point #2: Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. If a believer doesn't believe the...

    Dear Harold, I certainly agree with the points you made on faith vs. works. And I certainly agree that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. If a person believes in the Doctrines of Free Will and Hell, they are operating under a "works" based belief system. This system is "of this world"...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and this certainly includes the Nation of Israel (as the verses you quoted say). However, the "promise" (Rom 4:13) which I quoted earlier pertains only to being the "heir". The heirs are the First Fruits...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... Here is a second example where Christ teaches about the Early and Latter Rain as it applies to the healing of a believer's spiritual blindness: Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST... Paul discusses this same subject below: Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Johann, Here is what scripture says on the hidden nature of Christ's truth: John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life. Mat 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Johann, Scripture is written in a "mystery" and in Christ's spiritual language. It's meaning is "veiled" from everyone except believers who have been converted. When a believer receives the Latter Rain of the Spirit (the conversion point) Christ heals their spiritual blindness. The truth...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr Nolette, Paul wholeheartedly disagrees with you. The promises were made to spiritual Israel: Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the...

    "As a Thief in the Night"

    Dear Mr. Nolette, Christ comes back to us to give us the Baptism of the Spirit (the Latter Rain) and then He appears spiritually to us. This is exactly what happened to the Apostles on the Day of Pentecost. The Old Covenant is outward and physical. The New Covenant is within and spiritual...
