    Who is Israel?

    Do you not believe that Gentile believers are fellow heirs of God's promises, as Paul said in Ephesians 3:1-6? Anything that you think is promised to Israel is also promised to Gentile believers. Please read the following where it is explained that God has something better in mind for His...

    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.

    What does this response have to do with anything that I said? Ugh. The context of 2 Peter 3:13 is seen from the preceding verses which speak of the dissolving and burning up of the current heavens and earth. So, clearly, Peter did not have our bodies in mind there, but rather was talking about...

    The Third Woe

    Nowhere, but where does that phrase appear in the descriptions of the fifth trumpet (first woe) in Revelation 9:1-11 or the sixth trumpet (second woe in Revelation 9:13-21? Nowhere. So, your point is...pointless. It's obvious that Revelation 11:15-18 describes the seventh trumpet and it's also...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    LOL. There is no parable of the fig tree generation, so there's nothing to understand about it. The fig tree generation parable is a figment of your imagination. In Matthew 24:32-33 Jesus compared knowing the nearness of His return to knowing that summer is near when a fig tree's leaves start to...

    Pictures of Two Comings

    Agree. That passage makes it very clear that the gathering of the church to meet Christ will happen on the same day that He will take vengeance on all unbelievers. Those are not two separate events as pre-tribs imagine. So, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-5:3 all describes one event rather than 1...

    Pictures of Two Comings

    I think you missed the point that Jeff was making in his post. He referenced 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 because that passage shows the rapture as occurring at the second coming of Christ when He will take vengeance on unbelievers on the same day as the rapture. 2 Thessalonians 1:7 and to give you...

    Pictures of Two Comings

    Come on, Marty. You're better than this. If Revelation 19:11-21 doesn't describe the second coming of Christ, then no scripture does. It clearly describes Him descending from heaven, so that is the second coming of Christ. He doesn't have to come all the way to the earth in order for it to be...

    Pictures of Two Comings

    He is preparing a place for us there and will bring that place to us. That's why we are going to meet Him in the air and not in heaven. If we were going to be taken to heaven after meeting Him in the air then what would be the point of meeting Him in the air instead of just meeting Him in...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    But, what kind of knowledge is Daniel 12:4 talking about? Have you even thought about that or do you just assume it's talking about knowledge in general or about scientific knowledge? Yes, technology has advanced the knowledge of many things, but is that really what the prophecy is talking...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    It's not talking about scientific knowledge increasing, it's talking about spiritual knowledge increasing, which is what happened when the Holy Spirit started dwelling within God's people and with the creation of the New Testament that contains explanations of Old Testament prophecies that were...

    Who is Israel?

    It is 100% foolish because you are accusing people with a belief that has no one being replaced of believing in Replacement Theology. That is the epitome of foolishness. Okay, then you believe in dispensationalism. I guess it's okay to label one's beliefs however you want whether it accurately...

    The Third Woe

    You correctly indicated that the third woe sounds at the seventh trumpet because the last three woes are said to be directly related to the last three trumpets in Revelation 8:13. But, then you proceeded to claim that the third woe is described in Revelation 12:12. No, you had it right the first...

    Who is Israel?

    Do you believe that Gentile believers are fellow heirs with believing Israelites of God's promises, as Paul indicated here... Ephesians 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given...

    Who is Israel?

    To be clear, the kingdom was only taken from unbelieving Israelites, not believing Israelites. As Paul wrote in Romans 11, unbelieving Israelites were blinded and cut off, but a remnant of believers remained. So, the kingdom of God wasn't taken from the entire nation of Israel. The kingdom of...

    Who is Israel?

    Do you agree with Paul that Gentile believers are fellow heirs of God's promises made to Israel or do you think that Paul didn't know what he was talking about? Ephesians 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—2 Surely you have heard about the...

    Who is Israel?

    Here you go again with your foolish Replacement Theology nonsense. Those who believe in what you call Replacement Theology do not have anyone being replaced. Instead, we believe that Gentile believers are joined together with Israelite believers together into one body of Christ and that Gentile...

    Who is Israel?

    Yes, that is what Paul called "the Israel of God" in Galatians 6:16 or what many of us call Spiritual Israel. Paul contrasted two different Israels in this passage. Romans 9:6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are...

    Chapters of Daniel in chronological order

    It says the flood comes out of the dragon's mouth. The dragon is clearly symbolic, so how could a literal flood come out of a symbolic dragon's symbolic mouth?

    Chapters of Daniel in chronological order

    Why are you interpreting it as if it's talking about a literal flood? Do you think it's talking about a literal woman or a literal dragon there? I'm sure you don't. So, why would it be talking about a literal flood? You need to learn to interpret the book of Revelation in a consistent manner and...

    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.

    No, I did not conclude that because that is not true. The new heavens and new earth are written about in direct relation to the current heavens and current earth. So, the current heavens and current earth will be renewed by fire, resulting in the new heavens and new earth. What do you think...
