Blessings to you brother. The awful events of 70AD happened....and He did lease the vineyard out to other vinedressers, the Gentiles. But I'm afraid what has been will be again........it says concerning Mystery Babylon, "double unto her double", and in Isaiah it says speak comfortably to Israel...

So much of what happened to Israel and was prophesied is happening to the church. Israel was our ensample. I think we agree on that if my memory serves. Yes, they have come back to the Land, for God's purposes. I hope Israel will repent on a national level, but I just am not sure if that is...

Amen. Yes, I still can't parse everything In Rev either, by far. But I do believe by grace that "to the Jew first and then to the Gentile" is a principle. The colours of purple and scarlet pertain to the OT priesthood as well as to the Catholic Church.. And Rome's mass is a copy of OT temple...

No reason not to...for most of my Christian life I used to believe in a future earthly millennial reign as well, and only the last few years the Lord has been gracious to get me to look at it with fresh eyes and revise my understanding....still a work in progress. Although I know things often...

I've come to an understanding that she is a spiritual adulterous...in bed with the world (beast kingdom) - she is not the beast but she is riding it - instead of keeping herself to her true Husband only. Means the spirit of the world has infiltrated what should have belonged to God only...

Every Jew who says blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord and accepts Him, does see Him, because He is revealed to their hearts. If a national revival were to take place, that would be so wonderful, but in the meantime, it is one soul at a time. I wonder if a key to understanding Rev...

We might be talking past each other brother, I often don't understand what you are getting at. But it is true that there are lot of scriptures rolling around in my head like dice that haven't come to rest yet. Only God will be able to make sense of it all for me, if He will....my own mind is...

After the thousand years Satan is loosed to deceive the nations and gather them to himself....'unified' under him. It sure seems as though that is what is beginning to happen now brother.. And I wonder if this is the same thing that 2 Thes 2 is talking about here: 2Th 2:7-12 For the mystery...

I honestly don't really like pigeon-holing people with labels because there can be variations within one general belief or differences in the details.....although I understand these terms are used for convenience. 2 Peter 3....this is my paraphrase of how I understand it:. << Scoffers in the...

Amen, I agree, so I guess that puts me in the Amillennial. camp too. The "thousand years is as a day" that Peter mentions in 2 Peter 3 is the time of longsuffering that we are to account as salvation (time for people to be saved), which is the gospel age we are in now. I would just like to...

I think it can be helpful to look at the words in the original languages, as you are doing here, since English is a more limited and less nuanced language, as long our reliance is on the Holy Spirit to illuminate His word to us. But I don't know what your definition of Amillennialism is.....are...

Praise the Lord about your son, God is faithful. We'll never give up on our respective families - I remember the story about the woman who kept coming to pester the judge until he gave in. The spirit of hate is the spirit of murder.....they hated Jesus without a cause - that is what I believe...

I dont' know the science about water at all to be able to comment on that. But a quick rhetorical question for you brother.....how does the ploughman overtake the reaper if the field/world is flat?

Well, now I have a better idea of where you are coming from and why you aren't understanding me. God gives dreams, visions and other gifts that are not due to indigestion. His sheep know His voice...we learn to discern when something is from Him or when it is from indigestion, lol.. I already...

Good morning and much shalom to you brother David. I'm getting weary and a lot of these things are just over my head, especially as I'm not young any more either. Nimrod and the tower I believe was about man exalting himself above God....ideologies and belief systems that exalt themselves over...

Brother I think I understand what you are trying to point out with this finally, but don't forget Romans was written long before scientific research and telescopes. So He wasn't talking about that.....He must have been talking about creation as clearly visible to the naked eye. Even the...

I don't drink from NASA's well and I hope I don't have my trust in fallible and corruptible institutions of this world. NASA wasn't around when the basics of astronomy and physics were discovered. I believe there are also plenty of scientists and observatories and research labs that are not...

So all the parables that Jesus spoke and are written in the gospels were not written for us believers then? Should we ignore them then? How about all those examples of biblical allegories I gave you...should we ignore them too, along with all the many allegories in the bible I didn't point...

It is judgment, I believe.

I think this is splitting hairs, brother. Jesus, the Word made flesh, spoke to His own disciples in parables too and they didn't always understand them and needed an explanation. For example they didn't understand when He spoke to them about leaven...they thought He was talking about literal...
