    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Truth717 says: <Jesus isn't going to return and build a temple> Bible says: < He will build the temple of the Lord> (Zechariah 6:13) Truth717 says: <Jesus is going to return in the heavens in fire, dissolving the earth in fire> Bible says: <since all these things are to be destroyed> (2Peter...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO: The seven Jewish holidays point to seven acts of the Messiah: o Passover: "Slain as a lamb" (Is 53:7) o Unleavened bread: "Sinless body in the tomb" (Is 53:9) o First Fruit: : "First fruits from the grave" (Ps 16:10) o Pentecost...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    I was responding to another poster who said we *are* the temple. I agree, believers are the temple of God, in the sense that the Spirit of God dwells in believers (1Corinthians 3:16-17). But IMO the temple of God will be rebuilt, and it will be present all through the millennial reign of Jesus...

    Rebuilt temple is also noted here: "After this I will return, and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins and I will set it up" (Acts 15:16, citing Amos 9:11-22, Jeremiah 12:15, Isaiah 45:21). God's acceptance of gentiles into the faith (Acts 11:44-48)...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO: Jesus will build the temple, see Acts 15:15-18. The temple area contained more than just the Holy place. There is no temple in the new heavens and earth (Revelation 22:22). Try Google "blood moon" for a picture, it's a lunar eclipse. Jesus died during a blood moon (April 3, AD33 ), and...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO: o. Yes, believers are indwelt by the Spirit, according to God's promise: "I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." (Joel 2:28-29). o. There must be a temple...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO in Malachi 3:1: o. ""Messenger before me" is John the Baptist o. "Lord" is Jesus o. "Messenger of the covenant" is Jesus o. "Whom you delight in" is Jesus A messenger is someone who is SENT to deliver a message. "For God so loved the world, that he SENT His only begotten Son, that...

    IndianaRob noted: <messenger before me was John the Baptist> Yes, that would be my opinion. <Lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple> Jesus came to his temple, riding on a colt, as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9. He will return, not as the Lamb of God, but as the Lion of Judah...

    3 End-times spiritual princes. Will they bring 3 antichrists?

    IMO the "people of Daniel" are Jews. The gentiles are fellow heirs *in Christ.*

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Truth717 objected: "bodies are dead." Check out 1Corinthians 15:35-50, 1Thessalonians 4:17.

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    The Bible says: o. The Lord will come suddenly to His temple. (Malachi 3:1) o. "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war." (Revelation 19:11) o. "...They came to life, and reigned with Christ...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Jesus came from heaven, he ate food and breathed air, as did the two witnesses. They all three died, and I expect they all three got new spiritual bodies. See 1Corinthians 15:44.

    Sin corrupts the sinner and everything associated with him, hence this entire universe will be disposed and replaced. See Revelation chapters 21-22.

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    IMO: English "redeem" stems from Latin redimere, where: o. re=again o. demere=take away from i.e. "go back the way it was."

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    IMO: o. God does not have a body, rather God is spirit (John 4:24), and God is invisible (Colossians 1:15). o. We speak of the triune God: Father, Son, Spirit. o. Man, made in the image of God, is likewise triune: body, soul, spirit. o. Animals are body, soul. o. Plants are body.

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    IMO: God is triune: Father, Son, Spirit. Jesus is God become flesh. When Jesus died the debt we owed was paid for; Jesus paid it for us. He died a painful, disgraceful death to give us a chance not to to go to hell.

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO: "And when the *THOUSAND YEARS* are ended, Satan will be released from his prison" (Revelation 20:7). "Thousand years" = "millennium," as I previously noted. "Dissolved by fire" is after the Millennium (new heavens and earth, 2Peter 3:10-13).

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    Truth717 explained: "There won't be a future millennial kingdom on this earth" Bible explained: o "Then I saw heaven opened...his name is the Word of God...kings of the *earth* with their armies gathered to make war against him..." (Revelation 19:11-21) o "...reigned with Christ a...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    IMO: "Dissolved by fire" occurs after the Millennium. At that time this current creation will be dispensed and replaced by a new heavens and a new earth. New heavens and new earth are described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22. They are created after Jesus reigns for "1000 years" (a...
