    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    But when you take that text and combine it with all the others and scripture specifically states that there will be at least a thousand years between the events, then yes, but I would not say it’s an assumption as much as I would declare it a logical conclusion based on the scriptural evidence...

    Holy Spirit Appoints Jack Van Impe to tell the World Jesus is Returning very Soon!!

    What do you call a person who keeps prophesying that Christ is coming soon, basically coming just short of naming dates, over and over again? Oh yeah, a false prophet. Matt. 24:23-26.

    The last one was first promised to Israel by Jeremiah. This is not only for Israel but we, the church, inherit its promises also. In your selection of verses, verses 8-10 have already been fulfilled in the church. The last two will be fulfilled by Israel in the millennium.

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    The reason for this is called 'prophectic foreshortening'...the prophets would see the future, and what looked to be one event, was actually several all stacked together. Theologians liken it to looking at a Mountain range from a distance. From a distance it would seem they were all the one...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    Nothing to suggest V24 comes after V23 except that it does! And that in any normal reading one would understanding the wording it uses to mean just that! If I told you this: "It goes in this order: first this, then that", what would your reasonable understanding be? Because that's what it says...

    FYI, that was one of the quotes from Naomi's previous post that I was responding to.

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    Sorry for the delayed response but good weather means its time to work around the old homestead. Consider: we are not saying that the 1000 years of Rev 20 'has no end'. It has a very definite end. 1 Cor 15 says that when Christ returns he hands over the Kingdom to the Father, after defeating...

    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    THE a/c spoken of in 1 John and the image of said a/c in Rev. 13 are what the abomination of desolation is. The prophecy of Daniel concerning this topic and the timing of it was never fulfilled historically. While the spirit of antichrist is in the world, which basically is the general evil and...

    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    I believe Daniel 11:31 is unfulfilled prophecy with the prophecy concerning the a/c beginning w/ vs. 21 til the end of the chapter.

    I don't have time to watch these things, can't you just sum it up and tell us what he says?

    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    Based on my studies, I think the only thing it can be is a statue/image or even a holographic image of the “man” who will be known, in Christian circles as the anti-Christ. Let’s see what the bible has to say about it. Dan. 11:31 – “And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    Well, off the top of my head the number 1000 springs to mind. In the OT we are told that God keeps his promises to 1000 generations, and that he owns the cattle on a 1000 hills. Now, clearly in context we are being told that God owns everything and he keeps his promises infinitely. We are not to...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    Then I don't think you're considering it enough. Or, more than likely, you can't consider it enough. You are so "in" your mindset that you will be Raptured out before the 'going gets tough' that you cannot see what an amazing blessing it might be to a Church to realise that God telling them that...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    And the reason we are able to pull a passage from this book, and a passage from that book and compile it all together and form doctrines, is because all the books of the bible...even prophecy...are moving together for a purpose. The first, or second coming of Christ and God's plan of salvation...

    Why

    Actually, there were many times the apostles and Paul "escaped" when things got to dangerous because they knew it wasn't there time to die yet.

    A Common Error

    Hi HR, I think you may be overlooking something. Yes, Jesus taught, lived and died under the law because he had to in order to be the perfect sacrificial Lamb sufficient enough for our salvation. He had to accomplish that first, to be the eternal sacrifice for mankind, in order to establish the...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    "Symbol: A mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object, function, or process; or - A thing that represents or stands for something else" So, how is symbolism...the using of symbols to represent something, not appropriate? Imagery is also relevant, as it's described as...

    Prophecy vs. Apocalyptic

    So....there is no mysterious or symbolic language. At all? You willing to put money on that? Especially since you then go on to talk about the symbols and how to interpret them... You don't know the 'details' but know what it's talking about? The only symbolic “language” I can think of is...
