YES. I do agree. As in Ezekiel 45:1-7 when the prophet was describing the post-exilic arrangement of the land of Israel being set up. "Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord, an HOLY PORTION of the land: the length shall be the...

This AOD is "ARMIES surrounding Jerusalem" (Luke 21:2-21), and standing in the holy place where Gentiles were not allowed to be. This abomination of a standing army in Jerusalem happened once before under Antiochus E when "ARMS shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of...

No, "hoitines" meaning "whoseover" doesn't mark a distinction between two different groups in this verse. That little Greek word "kai" has TWO variable interpretations, meaning either "And" or "namely", as used in an explanatory sense. The KJV (and others) mistakenly pick the wrong...

That is speaking of the soul of a person which is given the security of eternal life during a person's natural lifetime after coming to faith in Christ. Those who believe are demonstrating that they are then in possession of eternal life. They never lose it. "He that believeth on me HATH...

You are absolutely correct here. The Armageddon site was only where the combatants were "gathered together". From that location, they were to "go up on the breadth of the earth" across the land of Israel, converging on the "beloved city" of Jerusalem where the battle actually was to take...

You keep misidentifying the creatures in that Rev. 9 prophecy. They weren't scorpions. They were called "locusts" who had tails like scorpions. All that symbolic language describes the torment caused by the soldiers under Gessius Florus the Judean governor who was doing his best to incite a...

Jesus said that whoever believes in Him "shall not die forever". The bodies of believers do not stay physically dead forever. They are changed in the resurrection process into an incorruptible and immortal condition. But there is no such thing as a promise of a translation change for us...

Here is one simple text which tells us that Australia or Japan, etc. needn't necessarily have been included for the gospel to have gone into all the world before Christ bodily returned in AD 70. Luke 2:1 tells us that "there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be...

The eye-witnesses inside the city of Jerusalem who witnessed Christ's bodily return to the Mount of Olives in AD 70 DIED soon after in the disintegrating city from rampant starvation, the sword, disease, or they were among the 97,000 taken captive by the Romans at the end and sent into slavery...

Jesus warned His own generation about Gehenna. That was not the eternal state for the wicked dead He was talking about. It was the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem where all the dead bodies of those inside besieged Jerusalem were dumped by the thousands in those AD 66-70 years. You sound...

No, that is not Scripture's own definition of what the Abomination of desolation was. It wasn't the Antichrist. Luke 21:20's comparable account of Matthew 24 and Mark 13 defines the AOD clearly as "When ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,...". In October of AD 66 the believers did flee...

Well, I have not said that I deny Hell - I just deny your own personal interpretation of what "Hell" is. "Hades" or "Sheol" both translated as "Hell" just means the grave, which all mankind just or unjust will experience by physically dying and returning to the dust from which we came...

I'm not "ignoring Jesus, God or the Bible". I am reading the Scripture accounts of what the fate of the wicked dead is, according to the entire book. And I have already said that I have no idea what the JW's teach regarding Hell. I have been Reformed Baptist, independent Baptist, and...

The wicked are NOT given eternal life - not even in an after life existence in your own personal interpretation of what "Hell" is. God is long-suffering, but He does not intend to allow His universe to be forever polluted by the continued perpetual existence of the wicked. Even the worst...

Jesus is correct, but your interpretation of His words is NOT. You apparently don't realize the timing for the manifestation of that Scarlet Beast. John wrote in Revelation 17:8 that this Scarlet Beast once "WAS" in existence, then it "IS NOT" (it had gone out of existence in John's days), but...

This was not a perpetual "forever and ever" throughout eternity. It was torment for Satan, his devils, and the Scarlet Beast and the Judean False Prophet, up until the "ends of the ages", which Paul wrote had arrived for that first-century generation back then. "...and they are written for...

Satan's fate was to be slain by God - not to be tormented perpetually in a supposed perpetual "Hell fire". Read Isaiah 27:1. Also read the fate of the "anointed cherub" who had been in Eden, according to God's prediction for him in Ezekiel 28:11-19. He would bring a fire out of the midst of...

You do realize that the word "also" is in italics in the KJV? That is because "also" was inserted artificially by the translators. The phrase only reads "every eye shall see him (kai) they which pierced him..." The Greek word "kai" is used here in an explanatory sense only, meaning "namely"...

Please read a little more carefully and slowly. It is those who believe who possess eternal life of the soul while in this life, with the Spirit's guarantee that their bodies will also be eventually changed into the incorruptible and immortal condition in the bodily resurrection process. THESE...

It depends on the context. Look above at what I wrote. " 'Forever' does not ALWAYS translate in Scripture as meaning something perpetual with no ending." Sometimes it DOES mean perpetual, such as describing God: "Underneath are the everlasting arms..." In the context of Christ describing...
