Tares and false brethren and wolves running amok among the wheat.....being accepted as if they are true. Being of the world they follow the ways of the world...ways that seemeth right to man but lead to death.......and are leading many of God's people to embrace the same. People say we have no...

Amen brother, sad but true. I was thinking it might be useful if those who are able to do the research could post some things that Israel/Jerusalem were doing historically leading up to 70AD so we could see how it mirrors what is going on today in Christendom...as well as the ways in which it...

The early church in the time of the Apostles considered that they were living in the time of the end that had been prophesied (end of the old covenant era and Israel's existence as a nation). I suggest researching the history of events leading up to the 70AD destruction/desolation and see if...

Chicken/egg maybe. There are lots of issues and factors contributing to them, I agree, and I am only pointing out one of them in my post. One derailment leads to a domino of more derailments down the line.

Brother, I would say the GOSPEL should have been the top priority at all times and even more near the end. The demise of western civilization (aka Christendom) is the consequence and God's judgment for falling away from Him.......just like He sent apostate Israel a spirit of stupor, that is...

In speaking about the lost perishing, those two things end up as the same thing, because God is ultimately sovereign, so He is the one we are to give glory to and fear. He is a consuming fire and can't deny His nature, though He is restraining and longsuffering for now, in His mercy. He...

I wasn't going to bother saying this, but I changed my mind. In my observation an unbalanced over-focus on eschatological things has completely distracted and derailed the church from what she is supposed to still actually be occupying herself with until He comes, namely the gospel. To the...

What it accomplishes is the purifying of His creation by removing all the filth and corruption and defilement from it. Mat 13:38-43 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil...

I enjoyed your OP brother. I only wanted to make mention of how Jesus was prophesying to Israel and how we the church also need to take warning from the things He said and what happened to Jerusalem/Israel in 70AD. As scripture says the things that happened to Israel are for the church's...

But it's not about judgment only. The believing Jews of that day believed and heeded Jesus' warnings and were spared the judgment (those who hadn't fallen away). I believe that is a picture (in type) for things concerning the end of this age (times of the Gentiles).

His word is lamp unto our feet and light unto our path. I'm just pointing out an aspect that not many have cottoned on to, and which the Lord was gracious to open my eyes to fairly recently, just maybe three years ago or so ago. Since what was to the Jew first foreshadows what is coming to the...

I believe there is benefit in rightly dividing what Jesus was talking about in Matt 24 and the other gospels regarding the end, as well as Revelation. He was for sure prophesying to Israel about the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and He was right in line with the OT prophets' prophesies about...

Even if we take it literally, 144,000 from each tribe still only represents a remnant, not the whole nation of Israel. But I don't believe it is literal but symbolic.......it's a representation of the inhabitants of New Jerusalem, the Israel of God...aka the one new man church. 12 x 12 - 144...

According to the definition I looked up, type means a prefiguring of a future event, and antitype means the fulfillment of the type (of what was being prefigured). What happened to Israel in 70 AD actually happened but was also a type (pre-figure) for a future fulfillment to the Gentiles. I...

From the beginning of a lengthy era to the end of that era can be called an age in the English language, as far as I know...? Yes Jesus instituted the new covenant.......which made the old covenant obsolete and fading away according to Heb 8:13.....it ended finally in 70AD with the destruction...

The new covenant which Jesus instituted made the old covenant obsolete....that which is old and obsolete is fading away or ready to vanish away it says in Heb 8:13. God gave Israel space to repent while the old covenant was fading away until it finally ended in 70 AD with the destruction of the...

Amen. Friendship with the world.....in order to avoid conflict and persecution....compromises the faith and is enmity with God. Jesus said He came not to bring peace but a sword.

Just want to say that I believe these things were fulfilled against Israel in the end of the old covenant age......but it serves as a prefiguration and warning of the judgment that will happen to the mostly Gentile church in the end of this age. 1Co 10:11-12 Now all these things happened unto...

Amen. And I would submit that Noah was a type or prefiguration of Jesus. That is why he was the only one righteous. The ark represents the kingdom of God and Noah got his "family" (family of God) on board, along with the animals which represented lost souls being saved (like Peter's vision...

Oh dear.....it seems you took Paul too literally in that 2 Cor 12:16 verse. He was reproving that church and using sarcasm to make a point. May I ask, what fault do you find with any of the teachings of Paul.....? Do any of his writings not agree with what the Lord has shown you?
