  1. 3 Resurrections

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    After Christ became anointed as our "Great High Priest" according to the deathless order of Melchizedek, Hebrews 7:12 tells us that the law was changed. "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." The former glory of the old Levitical high...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    That part I underlined in your statement is exactly what I am posting about. In the OT, God would boast about His ability to call the end from the beginning, even before events came to pass on earth, just to demonstrate His omniscience and His deity. I am merely posting about Revelation's past...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    John the Revelator does not agree with you that these events are future for you and me. They are long past. It was going to be the Scarlet Beast of Revelation 17:8, arising out of the bottomless pit, which would overcome the two witnesses and kill them (Rev. 11:7). That Scarlet Beast John...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Please read what I wrote more carefully. I never wrote that Zechariah 4:11-14 was to be fulfilled in AD 70, NEITHER will it be fulfilled in our future. Zechariah 4:11-14 was a prediction regarding the post-exilic return, when Zerubbabel's hands would not only lay the foundation stone of that...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    One problem with this. Those 144,000 Matthew 27:52-53 resurrected saints never died again. They aren't "sleeping" at present. Scripture tells us that it is impossible for a bodily-resurrected saint to die twice. "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, and after that the judgment" (Heb. 9:27)...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Again, absolutely true. God granted one full "week" of seven years for His own people to get on board with the New Covenant from the beginning of His public miraculous ministry starting in AD 30. I believe that "week" wrapped up in AD 37 with the vision God gave to Paul in Jerusalem's temple...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Absolutely true. Christ Jesus was called the "First-fruits" in 1 Cor. 15:20 &23. ALSO, the 144,000 Jewish saints of Rev. 14:4 were ALSO called "the First-fruits unto God and to the Lamb". Those 144,000 "First-fruits" were the Matthew 27:52-53 saints which came out of their graves around...

    Christ has already returned ?

    You are ranking the "great tribulation" on a scale which measures merely physical disasters on a level of severity. The "great tribulation" AD 66-70 period in Jerusalem was like no other either before or since then, because the entire Satanic realm was imprisoned within the city's walls. This...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    It was prophesied in the OT. Read the entire "song of Moses" in Deuteronomy 32:1-43, which gave all the details of how Israel's "latter end" would finish them as a people experiencing God's "vengeance". This "song of Moses" was being sung in Revelation 15:3, just prior to all the seven plagues...
  10. 3 Resurrections

    Christ has already returned ?

    From AD 66 until AD 70, when the entire Satanic realm was imprisoned within the besieged city of Jerusalem (Rev. 18:2). This produced horrific conditions of both spiritual and physical disasters that never happened either before or since then. Only resurrected saints participated in that event...

    Christ has already returned ?

    We are now waiting on Christ's THIRD coming in the distant future - the THIRD and final resurrection event which Paul gave in chronological order in 1 Cor. 15:20-28. #1) "Christ the FIRST-fruits" #2) "AFTERWARD" (epeita - following next in order) "they that are Christ's at His coming" (the...

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    You have a twisted sense of humor. I pity anyone who cannot read the time-relevant texts and terms which point to the fulfilled first-century coming of Christ before that generation had passed. Christ has always fulfilled His own promises to the letter. It confirms His deity that He came to...

    Did the Apostle Paul believe in a forever burning hell?

    You forget this text. "Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." Hell (Hades / Sheol) was the conditions of the grave, into which Christ's physical body was placed for the duration of three days and nights while His soul went into what was...

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    Daniel 12:11-13 already told you when that resurrection would happen following the unequalled "tribulation" of Daniel 12:1-2. It would be 1,335 days from two events taking place during the same season of time which began that unequalled time of tribulation. These two events took place in late...

    Did the Apostle Paul believe in a forever burning hell?

    I am a Reformed Baptist Preterist. Originally raised Pre-Mil Disp. from my infancy, but having dumped the majority of this mistaken training about 14 years ago in favor of what Scripture was teaching me. No, Scripture does not always link "forever" with a perpetual reality. Remember the...

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    Yes, those Zealot armies of "Gog" in Israel fighting against their own fellow countrymen fell dead on the mountains of Jerusalem long ago during the final Roman onslaught against Jerusalem in AD 70. Many of them had their flesh "dissolve" by the horrific starvation endemic in the city during...

    Did the Apostle Paul believe in a forever burning hell?

    The word "forever" does not necessarily mean perpetual in Scripture. Here is but one example in Isaiah 32:14-15. "Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs FOREVER, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks - UNTIL the...

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    If you are not a bot, you have a copy of the Scriptures in your own possession and can look up the Scripture references that I supply. Zechariah 14's chapter is part of a complete prophecy for Israel, starting from Zechariah's chapters 12 through 14, when both Judah and the city of Jerusalem...

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    It happened back in AD 66-70 when that "Lake of Fire" environment was initiated in the city of Old Jerusalem, where God said His "furnace of fire" was located (Isaiah 31:9). The Scarlet Beast of Revelation 17 John told us was not in existence at the time he was writing, but was soon "ABOUT TO...

    Did the Apostle Paul believe in a forever burning hell?

    Emphasis on the Scripture's use of "DAY AND NIGHT" in this text which discusses the Lake of Fire environment where the "alive" beast and false prophet would be tormented (before they had yet died). We are told all the way back in Genesis after Noah's flood that, "WHILE THE EARTH...
