  1. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    It wasn't just any generation whatever of the family of evil who were given that sign of the prophet Jonas. It was that first-century generation which had that single sign given to it directly. They rejected that particular sign by not receiving Christ as their prophesied Messiah the Prince...
  2. 3 Resurrections

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    There was a deliberate reason back then for creating such confused opinion as to the identity of "the disciple whom Jesus loved". This was done in order to confound and thwart the Pharisees who were "out to get" Lazarus and ANYBODY ASSOCIATING WITH HIM (like Mary the mother of Christ would have...

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    It wasn't John the Apostle, son of Zebedee that was being spoken of in these texts. It was "the disciple whom Jesus loved", who Scripture distinguishes as being a different man than John the son of Zebedee. The only reason why this John 21:24 verse can claim so confidently that "we KNOW that...
  4. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    We all are capable of reading other people's viewpoints and selecting from them what agrees with the Scriptures. This is not the sin which you presume it to be. You have an obvious bias against anything at all coming from a Preterist position. I on the other hand chew the meat and spit out...
  5. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    It is you yourself who cannot recognize the original audience of the Scriptures and the things that were being addressed to them personally in their own days. It's as if you guys want to erase the entire first-century generation from the Scriptures so that nothing at all applied to them. The...
  6. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    A rather generic translation. Should be "...who is about to judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His reign." Also another rather generic translation. Should be "...a day on which He is about to judge the world in righteousness..." This isn't really clear in this verse as to...
  7. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    That "day" already came and went back in AD 70, with a judgment upon both the living and the dead, as Paul had predicted in 2 Timothy 4:1. Didn't you catch Jude's reference to "THESE" men who were THEN feasting along with "YOU", which was the saints of Jude's day being addressed personally...

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    LOL, Yep, sorry, I'm typing too fast. It was Revelation 12:12 (not John 12:12) when John was giving a warning to his own readers that Satan had already come down to them in great wrath for that "short time" / aka the "little season" when he was released from his millennial chain so that he...

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    Sorry, but that is not how Revelation 20:5 describes this ending of the millennium. The millennium comes to an end simultaneously with the time when the "First resurrection" takes place - an event when the "remnant of the dead" comes to life again, which John labels as being "the First...
  10. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    This text does not say that every person on the globe would simultaneously see the returning Savior coming bodily to the Mount of Olives. Pay careful attention to the little word "even" in this verse. The Greek word is "kai", which Scripture often uses in an explanatory sense, meaning...
  11. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    No, it's not the only translation which translates this verse (and others) in this manner. It is the literal translations that recognize the significance of the original Greek terms, which many translations cast aside. Perhaps you don't, but I prefer to get closer to the original languages...
  12. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    You just challenged me to prove FROM THE SCRIPTURES how a literal millennium could be proved to take place between 968 / 967 BC until AD 33. I told you the source of where to go to find an article that is replete with Scripture references to proving this. If you choose not to go read this...
  13. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    A Preterist recognizes God's own definition of what an "at hand" prophecy is. The lengthy passage of Ezekiel 12:21-28 lets us know just how God defines this "at hand" term. Any of Revelation's prophecies which were titled as being "at hand" (Rev. 1:3 and 22:10) meant that these prophecies were...

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    I didn't type the above to convince you yourself necessarily, but for the many others who are watching and reading from the sidelines, either now or in the future, who just might give some further thought to the subject. We are all writing for the "gallery", so to speak. It is a very common...

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    There is an article on this year's summer issue of the "Fulfilled!" magazine website that lists all the pertinent Scripture passages proving these inclusive dates for the past millennium between 968 / 967 BC until AD 33. It's a lengthy article with plenty of the related Scriptures - too many...

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    The prediction was not that everybody on the entire globe would see that second coming return to the Mount of Olives. That "every eye" is specifically limited to "NAMELY, those who pierced Him". That is limited to the first-century generation of Jews and their time frame, as they were the...
  17. 3 Resurrections

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    The literal thousand years of Satan's deception of the nations being bound lasted from 968 / 967 BC until AD 33. It was dated from the foundation stone of Solomon's physical temple being laid down until Christ became the "chief cornerstone" of the spiritual temple not made with hands, composed...
  18. 3 Resurrections

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    Take special note of the mention of "two other of his disciples". One of these unnamed "other disciples" was "the disciple whom Jesus loved", mentioned later on in this context. The unnamed "other disciple" is separate from the named two sons of Zebedee. Are you implying that a glorified...

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    The disciple that Jesus loved is listed separately from the two sons of Zebedee in the fishing expedition found in John 21. Also, when the resurrected Jesus showed Himself to the eleven apostles (minus Judas), He rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not...
  20. 3 Resurrections

    Archaeological proof of Christ's AD 70 bodily return

    Apparently you are willing to ignore the “ONCE TO DIE” appointed limitation for mankind found in Hebrews 9:27. That applies to the few OT individuals we have also, including the example you gave above. And you also have nothing to say about Christ telling us that for those who go through the...
