    Pentecost! Why such a special day?

    IMO: The seven Jewish holidays celebrate seven acts of the Messiah: Passover...................Slain as a lamb...............Isaiah 53:7 Unleavened bread....Sinless body in tomb......Isaiah 53:9 First fruits.................First fruits from grave.....Psalm 16:10...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Literal interpretation does not negate figures of speech and figurative language. Search your internet "metonomy." Yes, I do take it literally in the verse you cite, but I do not know the nature of this "fire." The same kind of thing is noted in the New Testament: "For our God is a...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    Messiah the Prince IMO: o. משיח נגיד (Anointed Ruler, Daniel 9:25) refers to Jesus. o. הבא נניד (Coming Ruler, Daniel 9:26) refers to Anti-Christ.

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    " Covenant" in Daniel 9:27 is Hebrew בריח (Berit), an agreement between two parties that can never be broken by either party.

    "Seven prophetic feasts" of Israel, all celebrating Messiah Jesus, are as follows: 1 Passover---Jesus, Passover Lamb, paid our debt 2 Unleavened Bread--Jesus did no sin (leaven symbolizes sin) 3. First Fruits--Jesus was first fruits from the grave 4. Pentecost/Weeks--Jesus sent the Spirit 5...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    IMO: The two witnesses (Revelation 11:3) are perhaps Enoch and Elijah, both of whom never died. Each was taken to heaven (Enoch in Genesis 5:23-24, Elijah in 2Kings 2:11). They will return at a future time. Enoch was 365 years old when he was taken up (Genesis 5:24).

    When Might Satan With His Angels Come to This Earth For the Tribulation?

    indentured servant said: <demon possession not in Old Testament> IMO: "Demons" are fallen angels that joined Satan in his rebellion against God. Ezekiel 28:11-19 is a polemic against the King of Tyre, and also against his advocate Lucifer (a.k.a. Satan) who had been "cast down to earth."

    The Prophetic Feasts of Israel

    The Light noted: <return of Jesus has nothing to do with angels gathering> IMO: The U.S. similarly warned civilians to get out, before the U.S.. bombed Hiroshema, The intent was to spare civilians from the attack. The gathering away in Revelation is not from heaven and earth, rather the...

    The Prophetic Feasts of Israel

    IMO: o. Revelation 19:11-21 = return of Jesus with his mighty angels. o. Matthew 25:31 = return of Jesus with his mighty angels. o. Lots of things occur before this return. Revelation 14 is a sequence of these prior things. 1. 144 thousand raptured to heaven, to avoid the coming judgments 2...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    The "coming ruler" (Daniel 9:26) has numerous epithets: Antichrist, Prince of Darkness, Man of Lawlessness, False Christ, Beast, etc. He will oversee construction of the Jewish Temple, and then take his seat in it as though he were God.(2Thessalonians 2:4).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Spiritual Israelite noted: <incapable of refuting it ("no millennium")> "Millenium" = Greek χιλια ετη = 1000 years (2 Peter 3:8) "...shall reign with him (Jesus) 1000 years" (Revelation 20:6) "...when the 1000 years are ended..." (Revelation 20:7) IMO that indicates "millennium."...

    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

    IMO: Body = structure, a plant has a body Soul = intelligence, a frog has a soul Spirit = communion with God, a person has a spirit Unfortunately we lost our communion with God when Adam and Eve sinned

    The Prophetic Feasts of Israel

    IMO: o. Isaiah 10:21 says a remnant of the Jews will return from the Assyrian dispersion. o. Romans chapter 9 discusses free will versus divine sovereignty, particularly verse 9:19.

    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

    NotTheRock noted: <The Lord will not cast off forever> (Lamentations 3:31) That refers to the Jews, who were banished from their homeland by God: "How lonely sits the city [Jerusalem] that was full of people." (Lamentations 1:1) <banished one will not remain an outcast> That was fulfilled...

    Noahs flood NOT worldwide ???

    To understand the mechanism of the Genesis flood, search the internet for: pangaea (Greek πανγαεα = "all (one) land"). Genesis chapters 7 and 8 indicate that all the land broke up, causing a massive flood. This is why fish fossils are found atop high mountains.

    Noahs flood NOT worldwide ???

    Look at a map of the world, and see that the coasts of North America, South America, Australia match the corresponding coasts of Europe. The Atlantic Ocean that separates them has a deep chasm midway between, indicating a massive displacing split, that caused water to sweep the surface of the...

    "Israel" is Hebrew ישראל ישר = "strives" אל = "God" "Strives with God"

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I presume the "man" that wrestled with Jacob was an angel. Angels look like men (Daniel 10:16-18).
