And kingdoms, which is what the mountains represent. And I see you understand that as well. Yet, the prophecies do refer to those. The Babylonian empire is obviously referred to in Daniel. As well as the Media-Persian and Greek empires. Why ignore that? Daniel 8:20 The two-horned ram that you...

No. The Greek word translated as "lived" is "zao" and that is not a word used to describe being brought back to life. It is a word used to describe people being alive and living their lives. The word "anazao" is used to describe the rest of the dead and that word is used to describe people being...

You're all talk. You're not looking at 1 Cor 15:42 in context. I invite you to do so and you don't bother. That says it all. The context of 1 Cor 15:42 is seen in verses 43 and 44. Why would you deny that? Paul said that what is sown in incorruption, dishonor and weakness is a natural body. You...

Look at verse 3. Paul said the falling away had to occur before His coming and our being gathered to Him, so how could he have been referring to the rapture? The rapture couldn't occur first before...the rapture. But, it's about a departure from the truth, not a departure from one place to...

I didn't say that, but that does not mean our soul is literally dead and lifeless in the same way our bodies are literally dead and lifeless when we physically die. That's a false equivalence. And the context of 1 Cor 15 is very clearly about the body and not the soul. You can deny that all you...

They always represent both. Kings and kingdoms go hand in hand. You don't have one without the other. It's not an individual. Your claim that a prophetic beast can only refer to a king is false. No king is without a kingdom.

You ignore the context of that verse. Souls don't need to be resurrected. That's ridiculous. Our souls don't die, our bodies do. Follow what Paul is saying carefully here. Don't try to interpret verse 42 in isolation, which is unwise. 1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the...

The problem with this is that Paul indicates that the falling away (apostasia) occurs first before Christ's coming and our being gathered to Him. So, if the apostasia referred to the rapture then Paul would be saying the rapture has to occur first before the rapture, which obviously doesn't make...

I'm not sure why I bother with you. All you do is give your understanding of things, but you don't specifically address what others say at all. So, why should I specifically address what you're saying? I don't think I'll bother this time since it's obviously a waste of time since you won't...

I hope you're not saying this is all you have to support your view? If so, I don't find it very convincing since Matthew 24 does not teach pre-trib. Matthew 24:29-31 alone disproves that. So, are you planning to show how exactly you think Matthew 24 supports pre-trib? I'm not just going to take...

That isn't what I said, so why are you acting as if I said that? Don't just say things like this. Prove it. You apparently think the last trumpet sounds over and over again after each believer dies? Or what? Don't make claims that you can't back up. Your opinions on their own mean nothing...

I actually agree in a sense, but you're missing that Satan's kingdom of the world has taken on different forms over the years. That's what the heads of the beast represent. It says five of the heads were fallen, one was in power at the time and the other had not come yet (Revelation 17:10) as of...

No, I don't mind. I have no certain expectations of how long it should take for someone to respond, if they decide to respond at all. Thanks.

You're missing the parallels in the book of Revelation. There is no reason to think that the wrath of the Lamb will take a whole year to complete. The 7th seal does not contain the 7 trumpets like you believe and the 7 vials don't all follow the 7th trumpet like you believe. 2 Thessalonians 1:7...

1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. It says we will all be changed...

You're saying "I agree" in response to my question "Do you believe that someone has to have part in the first resurrection in order for it to be true that "the second death hath no power" over them?". So, since you believe that the first resurrection refers specifically to a resurrection of...

Kingdoms, of course, have kings or else they wouldn't be kingdoms. But, my point, which maybe I didn't make completely clear, is that prophetic beasts do not just represent individuals, but also kingdoms. But, you try to always refer to some beast-king as if the beast itself is only a king, but...

Only up to that point he agrees, and even I agree, but he hasn't seen your next post yet where you're going to say there's still another year of stuff that happens after that, which I'm sure he will not agree with.

There is no indication of any length of time, including 45 days, occurring between Matthew 24 verses 30 and 31. If that was the case then Jesus would have indicated as such, but He did not. You forgot to look at the previous verses for context. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of...

Prophetic beasts are not people, but you'll never acknowledge that. Daniel 7:23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it...
