No, friend, you can't even get up out of your corner, much less go any distance with the truth that exposes Antiochus as having nothing to do with the Little Horn. I've shown you that Antiochus Epiphenes IV was mocked by his contemporaries as "Epimenes" which means "Madman". I've shown you...

The letter of the law and the spirit of the law only seem to be at odds in Scripture because a crucial element is often overlooked: our motivation. Those motivated not by love for God and man will seek God's acceptance by fulfilling the letter, but Jesus came to show us that His acceptance of us...

Humans can't obey the Ten Commandments? Really? Does Satan put a gun to our heads and force us to break them? Does Satan somehow barricade our God-provided "way of escape" out of temptation? See, true Christians are courageous enough to admit that all sin is a choice, and if we love Jesus...

Hello? Just open a history book. Everybody's heard of Cyrus and Darius and Alexander the Great, but NOBODY'S heard of Antiochus the Chump except Jesuit Preterists who want him so badly to be the Little Horn. The reason why you won't investigate Protestant Historicism is because you rather...

The Ten Commandments existed before Sinai. Rachel knew not to steal, Cain knew not to kill, Joseph knew not to sleep with married girls. Stop being legalistic, for heaven's sake. The law of sin and death aint the Ten Commandments, which Paul calls "holy, just, and good", remember? The same law...

The difference between you and I is that while I'm well acquainted with your Jesuit Futurism ideas and at one time believed them, you are not in the slightest acquainted with Protestant Historicism, and that is why you continue to believe as you do, which is fine by me. But I would encourage you...

The world is run by secret societies. That's why the same banks fund BOTH sides of conflicts. It doesn't matter if you get into the Red bus or the Blue bus, both of them are heading to the same place - the NWO - except on the Blue Bus of Communism, the A/C is broken, the toilets are overflowing...

Some have said that Judas loved Jesus but loved mammon more and thought by putting Jesus in a compromised position, His and Israel's presumed ascension to greatness would have been hastened. In the end, he demonstrated himself as one who had resisted the grace of Christ to the point that he'd...

The law of sin and death is Romans 6:23, ""the wages of sin is death". Because wicked men don't want this death, Satan has masterfully linked this law with ties which only Christ can sever the false idea that wicked men may obtain salvation by works, so much so that by the time of Christ's...

There's no problem, for "grew" is also in the past tense, and if someone told you that tree "grew" (past tense) 10 feet, you immediately know that a full 10 feet of growth had been achieved, just like the text says the Horn "waxed" (grew) exceeding great, which in the same way means the Horn...

Not sure how someone who doesn't have faith could work miracles of faith. Also, the idea of "betrayal" by definition incorporates the idea of "turning against". With us, it's possible for one who is an enemy from the start to "betray" another by pretended friendship, but with Jesus Who knew...

If someone says "the tree grew 10 feet" you would not in a million years interpret that to mean anything else but this: the tree was previously 10 feet shorter but it grew 10 feet to the height it is now. The Little Horn "grew exceeding great" meaning it was previously less than exceeding great...

God often speaks of things that are not yet as though they were, so since Jesus knew he would betray him, this may be another case of that, which allows for Judas to be included among the 12 as belonging to Christ but eventually falling away in apostasy.

The phrase "exceeding great" is not a "direction of growth", it is a destination achieved.

Doesn't the Bible mention "the disciples" or "His disciples" collectively when referring to their accomplishments by miraculous power? I'm sure I could find examples if I looked. As far as I know, there's no mention of anything like "and the disciples - EXCEPT JUDAS - went about healing all...

No, the "man of sin, the son of perdition" is specifically a system that would be held down by a specific restraining power (Pagan Rome), arise at a specific time (after Pagan Rome was taken out of the way), and sit down in the temple of God (exalt its authority over the church), show himself...

To "wax" means to "grow", so if someone says a tree "grew" 10 feet tall, it doesn't mean it started growing and stretched its limbs to gather as much sunlight as possible but only reached 6 feet -- it means the thing achieved 10 feet, right or wrong? The little horn "waxed" (or "grew") to the...

Nevertheless, he arose from within and worked against the authority of Jesus within the church, which makes him a perfect example of what we should look for in history's rise of the "man of sin, the son of perdition". The Bible is somewhat silent as to if he ever made a full conversion, except...

Since when is asking a question "making judgments"? I asked you if you think the Ten Commandments are really Ten Suggestions. Perhaps it is your inflamed emotions that are confusing you? Please let me be clear: the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament for Christians to keep. I can...

When Paul identifies the characteristics of the "man of God", he speaks not of a single man, but of many Christian men who may be seen to be such by those characteristics. Likewise, when he speaks of the "man of sin", the son of perdition", we know what characteristics to look for to identify...
