As if you make any sense by trying to make a generation 70 years by creating a new definition of the word generation to mean the average human life span?

I don't see the time frames as all in the future and all literal as you do, so it would be a pointless exercise for me to do that. You try to pinpoint exactly when you think each event will happen in the future because you are a futurist. That's you. I don't see it that way, so I feel no need to...

I like my post better how it was before you edited it. I meant what I said. Yes, but we don't need to make charts to understand that, do we. Of course not. Of course it doesn't.

A generation is never defined as life expectancy. You are making up your own definition for a word just to support your doctrine, which is unacceptable. There is no mention of a generation in Psalm 90:10. A generation is considered to last for a period of 30 to 40 years because it represents the...

The book of Revelation was likely not written before 70 AD which your view requires. To have a position that depends so strongly on when the book was written is a weakness in your position. Also, Jesus coming quickly has nothing to do with Him coming quickly after the book was written. The Greek...

Will you stop this nonsense already? No one needs to make any timeline charts or diagrams to understand and discuss scripture. Except for you, apparently. There are no charts or timelines in scripture. Clearly, God expected us to be able to understand His word with written text without any need...

Says the guy who cannot even offer a guess as to how Matthew 24:15-21 should be interpreted. I hope you don't imagine that you are someone who should be taken seriously because you are not.

I have considered it off and on since I first saw @David Taylor suggest it years ago on the old Bible Forums site. I'm fine with that view even though I think the preaching of the gospel in Israel occurs in the rest of the 70th week after Christ's death and I see that as part of the confirming...

LOL. I am definitely in denial that you have any idea of what you're talking about. Come on. You are completely dishonest about all of this. Would they believe in Christ if God didn't do anything? No. So, it's quite appropriate to describe your view as God causing people to believe in Christ...

I was just commenting on the concept of types and antitypes. Douggg doesn't seem to even be aware of such a thing, but there is. So, he has no business telling someone not to talk about that concept. It seems that people assume that "the time of the end" always refers to a short time before the...

Stop trying to tell people what to do. Do you not know what "type" and "antitype" mean? Do you not understand that the old covenant animal sacrifices were a type and Christ's "once for all" sacrifice was the antitype? And that the Passover lamb was the type and the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, is...

You are correct that there is nothing written to suggest that something has to happen and something has to be fulfilled throughout the 70th week right up until the last day of the 70th week. I think it's a viable position for one to have if they believe that the new covenant was confirmed by...

I am not refuting what he says there. I would never dream of purposely refuting anything in scripture and you now that. And you would not purposely do that, either. So, don't even go there with that nonsense. I disagree with YOU about what that passage means. You think that God, before the...

Ridiculous accusation. How am I inserting two churches into the text when I am simply going by how candlesticks are defined in Revelation 1:20? I am being consistent with how candlesticks are defined in the book of Revelation and you are not. That isn't what I'm saying you are being...

It is what Calvinists believe, so I guess you're not a Calvinist then. But, I don't believe you. You believe the choice is entirely up to God, so how can you deny that what I said is what you believe? It only follows that you believe that. Maybe you just don't even understand what you believe...

If it's not possible for everyone in the world to believe, as your doctrine teaches, then it can't be said that He died for the sins of the whole world. This sufficiency thing you talk about makes no sense whatsoever since you believe all who are not His sheep don't even get any opportunity at...

You believe that they are not able to be willing to do so without being born again, right? So, how do you explain them not having any excuse for not doing so then? If the are not able to be willing to do so unless God makes them willing to do so, then that would be a very legitimate excuse for...

LOL. But, what do the two witnesses represent? You say two individuals, but candlesticks don't represent individuals in the book of Revelation. But, that doesn't matter to you, obviously because you couldn't care less about being consistent. That's consistent with your imagination, but not with...

There are not multiple fulfillments of those prophecies. Jesus explained the real fulfillment of them, which had not previously been apparent and understood. I do not buy this idea of multiple fulfillments of prophecies because you can just make scripture say whatever you want it to say with...

Why do you make symbolic candlesticks represent something entirely different in Revelation 11:4 than what they represent in Revelation 1:20? He is being consistent by interpreting scripture with scripture and allowing Revelation 1:20 to tell him what candlesticks symbolically represent in the...
