    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I'm not assuming anything, that's why I'm asking the question. What's your problem? Are your fingers unable to type the word SIN in close proximity to the word ISRAEL?

    I know why. Why don't you? Don't you have a Bible too?

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Numbers 25 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. Explain why those "chosen" ended up on the corpse pile.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The only "chosen nation" today is God's faithful obedient saints of the Church, Gentile and Jew alike. No others.

    Yes. The language used by the writers under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

    Go argue with Matthew, Paul, Peter, and the Holy Spirit who inspired them.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    They both refer to the same peoples of faith and obedience. In the OT, it was the faithful obedient subset of saints in Israel who did not "bow the knee to Baal". In the OT, it is the faithful obedient subset of saints of the Church in the world. Each is declared to be a holy nation, the OT...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    No, we derive our understanding of the NT elect from the entirety of NT Scripture that identifies it. Not from the OT. Here it is again: Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy...

    Show where faith and obedience aren't in the Scriptures.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    In the OT, the elect are the faithful obedient Israelites within Israel. In the NT, they are the faithful obedient Christians in the world, Christ's Church. And no others.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    No, it doesn't. The Elect in the NT are the NT Church in every context. As Paul and Peter confirm. Scripture interprets Scripture.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Paul and Peter identified the Church as the Elect to eliminate any confusion about who the Elect are. They are God's Chosen People in every context. I've provided multiple affirmative verses. Scripture interprets Scripture.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    As you yourself affirmed previously, an antichrist is another or substitute Christ. The quotations I've provided establish that beyond any doubt. Since there is only one Christ, any claim to be another Christ is a denial of the only Christ. The apostate papacy is a clear fulfillment of both a...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    There is no "wrong timing" for antichrists. John declared that there were already many when he wrote (1 John 2:18). They will be with us until Christ returns. The apostate papacy was one of the many throughout history, the prevailing antichrist of its epoch. I've provided irrefutable...

    Bingo. “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum Auctoriatate (On the Authority of the Councils) Bk 2, chap. 17 “The pope...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The primary targets of Zealot terrorism were the occupying Romans, not Christians. So there was no Menahem "the Antichrist". A web search of "menahem antichrist" returns no associations.
