    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You are repeatedly being shown that the 70th week prophecy was being fulfilled upto the midst of the 70th week (3.5 yrs.) when Jesus was crucified, shedding his innocent blood (Prov. 6:17). Then following, the remainder of that 70th week of 3.5 yrs. was fulfilled also, after His resurrection...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Right there, you have misunderstood and misconstrued the facts to suit your purpose of belief. It was Antiochus IV Epiphanes (A4E) who did enter into the Holy Land of Israel "peaceably with flatteries", and then attacked them. Please do read all of Ch. #1 of 1 Maccabees. Also, please notice...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You have alot of biblical history to catch up on. Not because you can't know it, but rather you have been misinformed by erroneous teaching. First of all, KJV Zech. 4:14 has been fulfilled. The "Two anointed ones" (witnesses) were fulfilled in John the Baptist and Jesus. You, as well as most...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Don't born again Christians yet know that in type and anti-type, the words "the abomination that MAKETH desolate" (Dan. 11:31) was first fulfilled by Antiochus IV Epiphanese. That abomination, in approx.169 BC., was the  TYPE, but Jesus Himself is the ANTI-TYPE. In other words, when Jesus spoke...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I agree 100% God's foretelling of His Prophecies is not suddenly revealed from out of a fog bank of religious theories, fabricated by the will of man. God in His Eternity sees the past, present and future all at the same time. Isa.55:8-9. Therefore when He is speaking of future events taking...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I think that you should re-read that scripture (KJV) and hear the context of the matter with [My interpretation]. Paul said that he [himself] "knew a man". 2 Cor. 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I [once] knew a man in...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I agree 100% And yes, John 3:13 is the scripture for that factual truth. 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but [except] he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Yes we have been posting for a long time, and it's good to know you in the Lord brother. However, in all that we talk about, we are only observers in the Lord of how He works His will through time. That is why I always quote and point to all of 1 Cor. ch. 2. It reminds us to know that we who...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    No, you are making a futuristic connection for a "little horn", when there is no future for that which has already been historically fulfilled. Please study the historic fulfillment of that prophecy in 1&2 Maccabees Changes from what? The man made doctrines of church-ianity??

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Absolute truth! Every unsaved person is the potential temple of God in which God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit seek to dwell within. If they choose to not come to repentance and have faith in the Lord Jesus, before their mortal death, then the judgment of the 2nd death REMAINS...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Of course! Instead of Born again Christians hearing Holy Spirit taught truth from the mind of Christ from within one's own self (1 Cor. 2:13,16), many find it easier to swallow "the wisdom of men", from the pharisaical agents of denominational Bible colleges and/or Seminaries. How else would...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Yes. And as "the natural man" is understood to be in the plural, so also is the case for "the man of sin".

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    "The little horn" has nothing to do with "the man of sin", but "the natural man" does. Both are to be understood in the plural. "The beast" in Rev. is the fourth beast of Daniel, which is symbolic of the Roman empire. "The little horn" was fulfilled by one man named Antiochus Epiphanes, of the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The words "except there come a falling away [of many] first", in verse 3, sets the format for all of 2 Thes. 2:3-10 to be understood in the PLURAL, which is exactly how "that spirit of antichrist" works. 1 John 4:3 And  EVERY spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Yeah, when studying about 2 Thes. 2, the Pre-mil, Amil or Post-mil views do come into play, especially how one understands the 70 weeks of Daniel. It is at that point of understanding that much division occurs, long before 2 Thes. 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrug In much of...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Yes. I agree that we do not see eye to eye on the issues of what a biblical millennium actually is. Having that steep doctrinal difference between us is going to muddy the water in numerous ways, as it already has. Peace brother! *shrug*??? On an open public forum, it's as simple as this: I...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Could it be that you interpret the scripture of Rev. 20:6 from a perspective that is according to the Premil understanding and not that of the Amil understanding, as I do? Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that  HATH PART in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power...
