Hi MTP, Regarding Is. 35:8-9, There is merit to what you suggest as a "symbolic" take on this passage. However, I wouldn't call Blackstone's theory, a "literal" interpretation by any means. This would be my take on it. Yes, there will be a literal road. In the OT this word for "highway" is only...

Hi MTP, You've obviously put a lot of thought into your post and it was an interesting read. Let me see if I can sum up my beliefs on this issue in a couple of sentences. Do I agree that a prophetic scripture can have both a literal meaning and a deeper spiritual aspect as well? Yes, I do...

I'm in the process of writing an article about this but for now let me assure you that Zech. 14 has nothing to do with His second coming.

This is one of those rare times that I agree with Vet.

Sorry vet, I disagree with your doctrine of men regarding this passage.

I agree with your assessment of the 144,000 and I believe it will be the tribes of Rev. 7 on the gates ofm the NJ, not the ones from the latter chapters of Ezekial, which include Dan, which is misinterpreted as heving millennial significance.

Hi Vet, As one opposed to pre-wrath you are in no position to inform what pre-wrath theology entails. You surmise a lot but are way less than accurate. The difference between pre-wrath and your view is simple. Pre-wrath follows the flow of scripture while your view is a bunch of guesswork based...

Hi NetChaplain, Excellent post, however, this part: "which is also the Bride" is questionable and is an assumption based on analogies but not directly expressed anywhere in scripture.

Excellent post Angie, but it will just fly over the head of lawkeepers, imo.

Hi Retro, Your words: “See, again, it is the definition of "salvation," particularly as it applies to prophecy, that has tripped you up. The word means "RESCUE!" Yes, It does sometime mean “rescue” but in most cases it is the “rescue” of the spirit/soul, not the physical. Your example: “If you...

God is not a respecter of persons. Israel had it's chance and it is only by the grace of God that there will be a righteous remnant. Would I like it if I had unsaved children? No, but they make their own choices once they reach adulthood. All we can do is pray. Christ did all that He could do at...

Just for clarification purposes, I believe the only "elect" among the jews are those who come to salvation in Christ. In the last days, the only "elect" of Israel that will be saved is the righteous remnant which includes the 144,000. Those of Israel who are not in that minority will be judged...

Pre-wrath believes that the signs that precede the Day of the Lord are those of the 6th seal. I believe the Day of the Lord begins with 7th seal/1st trumpet judgment, goes through the latter part of the 70th week, extends itself all the way through the millennium and concludes with the GWTJ.

Hi faithful, I again must disagree with your conclusions. The seven thousand from 1 Kings and Rom. 11 are the same seven thousand. Paul is just quoting from 1 Kings. That in no way implies that there are just seven thousand today. Indeed, that number will multiply to at least 144,000. One...

Hi faithful, Your words: "Do you believe that God made an imperfect earth in the beginning?" Yes I do because He wasn't finished yet. It was step one in His creation plan. Your words: "You see from the scriptures that Peter says there was an old world being the FIRST EARTH that was now getting...

Hi faithful, I think you're making a lot of assumptions. Your words: "In Gen. 1:1 God created a perfect earth and that was the earth that the first Adam was placed in God's garden." There is nothing in verse one that should assume a "perfect" earth. Vs. 2 immediately squashes the idea that it...

I don't see where you get that I implied the general resurrection has already occurred. Those coming out of the graves when Christ was resurrected is recorded in the bible. I agree that Christ will return at the last trump, however this is different from the 7th trump of Revelations. The "last...

The first resurrection began with Christ and those that came up out of the graves. These are the firstfruits of the first resurrection. The latter fruits of the first resurrection will rise first, then the raptured church will join them at the 7th seal just prior to the beginning of the day of...

I really don't know what you're trying to discuss here, your words: "If it were not for Romans 8:22 and (to name but two) Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or...

I think you're stretching things out of proportion. There is a vast difference between stars that make supposed pictures and used as navigational devices than what may or may not be occurring in the millions of other galaxies and solar systems and billions of planets out there. The question...
