    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    There is no seventh day/age, so there's no point in taking you seriously about this. Your beliefs come from your imagination. Scripture never references a seventh day/age. You have your beliefs all to yourself. The sheep represent those who belong to Jesus (John 10) and have their names written...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Yep. Here you go again explaining away obvious truth. And why would they need to flee? Because the Roman armies were surrounding Jerusalem before they went and destroyed the city and its temple buildings. Jesus told the disciples that the temple buildings would be destroyed and they asked Him...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    Not all of the symbols in Revelation are explained. Some are explained, some are not explained and some have partial explanations of what they symbolize without identifying exactly what the symbols represent, such as the beast and Babylon. Revelation 2:9 “I know your works, tribulation, and...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    Saying "Israel is Israel" and then saying "There are 2 Israels" is nonsense. Since there are 2 Israels, then saying "Israel is Israel" is a ridiculous comment since saying that doesn't specify which Israel is which. Let's look at how Paul defined who are part of spiritual Israel. Romans 9:6...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Explain to us why you think only Luke would have recorded Jesus's answer to the question about when the temple buildings would be destroyed while Matthew and Mark did not think it was significant enough to record that?

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Is one second after the previous year is past part of the previous year or the current year? The current year, right? Similarly, the Messiah being cut off AFTER the 69th week does not mean He was cut off at the end of the 69th week, but rather some time after the 69th week ended and during the...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    I know. I was kidding. That's why I included this: sml Yes, I am. Thanks for asking. Because you continue not telling me exactly what you think Jesus meant when He said "I am coming quickly". You seem to think He was saying His coming was near, but that's not what it means. No, that is...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Right. It means a 490 year time period was decreed by God by the end of which the six things listed in Daniel 9:24 would be fulfilled along with the confirming of the new covenant during the 70th week (last 7 years). It doesn't say that 69 weeks (483 years) were determined (decreed) followed by...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Really? I thought we already were talking before... sml Uh huh. For crying out loud, man. What does it take to get you to answer a question? We can talk about other things as well if you want, but I'm simply asking you what you think Jesus was saying when He said "I am coming quickly". Can you...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    It is normally a present tense verb, but not always. Here are a couple examples where it is used in the future tense... Matthew 8:5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” 7...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    This guy is so desperate to keep his false doctrine afloat that he even resorts to trying to claim that there is a difference between the phrases "concerning me" and "about me". It's just sad to witness how dishonest some people on this forum are and how willing they are to butcher scripture to...

    That's for sure. Maybe we should call it dispensensationalism? I've also seen people call it dispensatanism.

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    I do accept that, but that does not mean that Paul was saying that only believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. You are AFRAID to address the fact that he also referenced an Old Testament passage which indicates that unbelievers also will be bowing before Christ. Romans 14:10...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    LOL. You are not addressing what the text actually says. It says everyone will give an account of themselves while bowing before Christ at His judgment seat. When have you done that? You haven't. Why are you so willing to butcher the text to make it say what you want it to say?

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Yes, he was saying he and all believers will appearing before the judgment seat of Christ, but he also referenced an Old Testament passage (Isaiah 45:22-24) which shows unbelievers also bowing before Him. So, it's your opinion that when Paul references an Old Testament passage, that should just...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    LOL. Are you for real? Try to learn how to read and not make assumptions and then you won't embarrass yourself by misrepresenting what others believe.

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    LOL. I think I was pretty clear. No, I was referring to where it says "does not mean immediately". Yes, it does. Or, at the very least, that is one of its definitions. That comes across as if it it's saying that the word never means immediately. But, obviously, it does. When looking at how the...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    What is the difference between something happening "without any delay" and happening immediately or in a very short time? None. Just look at how the word is used in other verses and you should see that it is used to describe things that happen immediately (very quickly). I'll give a couple...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    So, you are bowing down to Jesus and giving an account of yourself to Him at His judgment seat right now? How does that work exactly? Romans 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For...
