    Get Rapture Ready or will you be be left Behind?

    While I agree it is important to be ready to go, I feel it is just as important to be ready to stay. Regardless of one's end times beliefs until they're history, they are all only possibilities, speculations and assumptions about our understanding of prophecy. Nothing is guaranteed accept the...

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Still working on that revision but I've been sick lately, but I will get back to it.

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Speaking of the north who you say were divorced (which was past tense, btw) (even if that we're true that doesn't mean there couldn't be reconciliation) however, Jer. 3:11-14 - "And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. 12 Go and...

    I would say read the rest of the chapter from vss. 11-18. The bill of divorce is no more.

    I'll get back to you on that. I'm doing a little revision and secondary speculation.

    Corel, Your quote, "The sun and the moon did not exist in Genesis 1." Really??? Have you read Gen. 1 lately? Vs. 16 is a clue.

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Symbolism is a slippery slope that leads to false theologies. In Rev. Whenever obvious symbolism is used, it is explained somewhere within the text. If you can't find an obvious answer, it's literal not symbolism and in Rev. 12 there are obvious clues that lead to Israel, imo.

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Windmill, your question - "Would you please explain how this is relevant to what you quoted from my post." H3117 - Day - literal=as you say, figuratively - age, always, continually, everlasting. Where do you see that there is no possibility of long lengths of time? I would consider the minimum...

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Hi Corel, First, I agree with your view on Rev. 12. Isaiah 45:18 New International Version (NIV) 18 For this is what the Lord says—he who created the heavens,he is God;he who fashioned and made the earth,he founded it;he did not create it to be empty,but formed it to be inhabited—he says:“I am...

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Corel, First, I went through all 29 posts and there was no Isaiah verse offered. "Debris of war", that's a new one. When God created the universe, He set things in motion, time took care of everything else. What we may consider random events in the universe probably have a reason and purpose...

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    We have no idea when or where this battle took place. Presuming it was upon the earth is a giant leap of guesswork. How is that different from my opinion piece, which at least has a more realistic flow of logic, imo?

    A Different Look at Genesis - Part 2

    Windmill said..."He said that man was from the beginning of creation, that is there was no evolution, no long periods of time unless of course he lied." It's all dealing with context. The simple fact is of all the hundreds of prophecies that speak of "that" day is speaking of a day sometime in...

    Day of the Lord

    This may sound weird but I've always thought that Rev. 9:9-10 sounds a lot like helicopters with rear firing "stinger" chem-based missiles. How else would someone of John's era describe them?

    Who is the Whore of babylon

    Brothers no, a cousin 10,000 times or more removed, Yes. If you don't look at it that way then everyone is committing incest.

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    I'm not saying they aren't or they don't, Coral, just that what pre-trib breaks down what the 70th week consists of is not accurately based on scripture. Yes, it can be broken down into a sequential series of events, just not the way pre-trib believes. BTW, I was pre-trib for 40 yrs. and could...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    I don't think anybody believes that the trinity is the same "person". I take that back, that is what the "Jesus only" folk believe. I fully believe that when we get to heaven we will see or at least be aware of three distinct personalities, separate from each other but working in perfect unity...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    Here is where assumptions come in. Nowhere does it say the 1260 days are divided into a first or second part, that is assumed because it makes a nice pretty picture. Nowhere does it mention that tribulation is 7 yrs. or 1260 days long. Is there a 70th week? Yes! Is there a time of tribulation...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    There is of course another possibility and that is the Trinity is NOT based on the level of greatness, it is based on the unity of the three acting as one. It is the example for what marriage should be like. There are way more scriptures that speak of the plurality of the Godhood and even the...
