    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    I think you've been watching "It's a Wonderful Life" too often. God doesn't have to use a "ghost of Christmas future" to escort a man into the future to show him what that future holds for him...He can show him what the 21st century holds while leaving him firmly planted in the 1st century. "Is...

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    Yes, because the concept of humility is perverted. Godly humility not only leads us to ask for Christ to enter our heart and save us, but that same spirit leads us to surrender our will and yield ourselves to His will as servants in service to our Lord. Churchianity's idea of "humility" is to...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    Pretty sure "up" denotes geographical location - as in "up to God in vision".

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    Can there by Western Christians who enjoy religious freedom, security, prosperity while possessing faith as strong as that of Daniel or the Three Hebrew Worthies? Absolutely! However, let's not kid ourselves concerning the spiritual health of the average Western Christian whose pastors admit...

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    I don't mean "soft" as in "passive" or "meek" - these are key to victory over both spiritual and temporal enemies (when we're weak, it's then we're strong in Christ) - I mean "soft" as "hypersensitive", "weak spiritual resolve", "unloving", "resentful", etc. History shows when Christians have it...

    The Unfortunate Disregard of A.D. Jewish Women

    After the Assyrians carried away the 10 northern tribes of Israel, it only took a few centuries before the bloodline of these tribes was irreversibly polluted with pagan DNA, so much so that we even read of it in Scripture: "Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a...

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    I like your tag line from Horowitz, which absolutely sums it all up: Satan is the old school, OG control freak, and godless progressives who are helplessly ensnared by him are bitterly afflicted with that same disease of control freakism - they want to compel everyone that doesn't bow down to...

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    Man, that's a bit harsh! What I say to anyone who defends the "wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked" Laodicean state of Western Christianity is what Jesus said: buy from Him that gold (of the faith of Jesus) tried in the fire, and that white raiment (of His character) that nakedness no...

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    Not since they disappeared long ago.

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    Can't he be a "witness" to things shown to him in vision while remaining at home in the first century, and not necessarily need to be transported to the end times to watch them unfold in real time in order to qualify as the same? Of course, my friend!

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    Israel blew it. It now has nothing to do with end times prophecy, according to Isaiah 5. We can accept this if we simply let go of our herd mentality that "God will bless them that bless Israel" - a misnomer that needs to stop, for that promise was to Abraham and his descendants, those that...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    A prophet is one who is shown events to come, either by His voice, a vision, an angel, whatever vehicle God chooses to communicate His revelation. I don't think it's fair to deny John's status as "prophet", especially since the angel confirms him as a brother of the prophets.

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    That promise is for the church, not Israel. You will not find a single verse in all of Scripture where God gathered the people back to Israel after scattering them for disobedience before they first repented and turned back to God. The people living in the land of ancient Israel are neither...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    John wrote what he saw in a vision of the future, but the events hadn't happened yet. Just like the innumerable people standing on a sea of glass which hadn't happened yet.

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    You realize prophecy is conditional...which we learned from Jonah. God could not fulfill the prophecies of Zechariah toward Israel because THEY KILLED THE MESSIAH AND TO THIS DAY HAVE NOT REPENTED. All are a misapplication or violation of the chiasms.

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    You don't have to time travel to see what God chooses to reveal about what the future holds, and you are every bit as much a "witness" to what He shows you in vision as is a person sitting on the witness stand in court.

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    It must remain desolate 1,000 years - because that's how long the separation is between the two resurrections. We know this because the redeemed "lived and reigned with Christ 1,000 years" in the place He went to prepare for them WHICH IS NOT DOWN HERE, BUT UP THERE before returning for them in...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    You could say "Chiastic Structure" is recapitulation, however, the Churches, Seals, and Trumpets describe different experiences to which the church would be subject along the prophetic timeline between Christ's first and second coming. As for the entire book, it's definitely one huge chiasm...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    According to the entitled Master's Thesis, "A Comparative Study to the Hermeneutical Approaches to the Seven Seals", Historicism says prophecy parallels history with predictions meeting fulfillment along a prophetic timeline that spans from the time of the prophet to the end of time, unlike...

    This world and the wicked are going up in a puff of smoke when Jesus come - thus negating Premil

    Protestant Historicist, which essentially says, "history parallels prophecy because - unlike the claims of Jesuit Preterism and Jesuit Futurism - God has no blind spots".
