    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Revelation 1:20 does not mean that every place candlesticks is used in the bible it refers to churches. What does a candlestick do ? It gives off light. What does a candlestick burn to give off light ? It burns olive oil (from oil trees). The two witnesses will be a light unto the...

    The "watch rapture view"

    Revelation 12:7-9, the war is in the second heaven. Satan was cast out of the third heaven long ago. In Revelation 12:12, Satan cast down to earth will have great wrath knowing that his time is short. The time/times/half time of Revelation 12:14.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    The two witnesses are described as two olive trees AND two candlesticks. There are no churches involved as being the two witnesses. The 42 months and 1260 days are symbolic ? No, those are two specific timeframes of 42 months and 1260 days. Yes, the two witnesses will have supernatural...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Daniel 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Antiochus IV is not the little horn person. The little horn person is "time of end". We are living in the time of the end. No, the little horn person is a real individual. Who will go through 5 stages on his way to being cast alive into the lake of fire.

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    I took the information in your post on Daniel 11:6-10 and inserted the characters into the kjv Daniel 11 verses. Color-coded characters from the south in blue, from the north in red. This does not replace your commentary on each verse of course...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    No, I maintain that the two witnesses are two individual persons who metaphorically are two candlesticks and two olive trees. If you maintain that the two candle sticks are two churches. Then what two churches ?

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    @Exegesis I went to Wikipedia and found a list of rulers of the Seleucid empire. So I put together this list if it is any help to you. Ruler BCE Seleucus I Nicator 305-281 Antiochus I Soter 281-261 (co-ruled with his father...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Exegesis, I am curious. What program are you using to form the framework of your spreadsheet (table) ? The structure appears to be well thought out. In the first column, You quote the verse highlighted in blue. Highlighted in blue was a good decision. then below, the "Character focus" In...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Regarding my post, here are more specifics from Wikipedia.... In 168 BC, a Roman Consul named Gaius Popillius Laenas drew a circular line in the sand around King Antiochus IV of the Seleucid Empire, then said, "Before you cross this circle I want you to give me a reply for the Roman Senate" –...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    No, Romans 11 is not saying that there was a Jewish church which a Gentile church joined into being one church. Romans11 is saying that salvation was offered to the Jews first. Individual Jews who rejected the gospel of salvation were branches that were cut off from God's olive tree...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    No, Daniel 11 does not start talking about Anitochus IV until Daniel 11:21 (the vile person) and ends talking about Antiochus IV in Daniel 11:32 when the Maccabees did “exploits” allowing for the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Anitochus IV was a Seleucid king of the north. He had...

    The "watch rapture view"

    Davidpt, Revelation 16:15 Jesus coming like a thief in the night - is referring to the people on earth seeing Jesus's unexpected sudden appearance in the sixth seal event. In reaction, the kings of the earth will gather their armies at Armageddon in Revelation 16:16 to prepare to make war on...

    The "watch rapture view"

    Davy, you are post-trib, right ? So you believe that the rapture is the day that Jesus returns. So counting from the day that the Antichrist confirms the covenant for 7 years, 7 years later on that same day Jesus returns. How is that like "as a thief in the night" ? As a post-trib...

    The "watch rapture view"

    In Revelation 11:16-17, are the twenty four elders rejoicing or not ? 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    The beast in Revelation 17, Revelation 12, Revelation 13 with 7 heads and 10 horns is the Roman Empire, but in the end times has changed in appearance. Here's an analogy - As a child of ten years old - you had 1 head, 2 arms. As an adult of twenty years old - you have 1 head, 2 arms...

    Every rapture position is new

    Hi rebuilder 454, The person who becomes the Antichrist can be determined ahead of his becoming the Antichrist by his becoming the leader over a panel of ten EU leaders. Revealing himself as the little horn person (stage 1). The revealing of the person as the man of sin (stage 4) will not...
