    Update on World System.

    In the book of Daniel, Daniel was a government official in the one world government of Babylon at that time. Daniel certainly didn’t agree with Nebuchadnezzar but nevertheless he remained a government official. Could this be a foreshadow and there could very well be a “Daniel” in the upcoming...

    Update on World System.

    Ok, here’s the thing I’m looking at, Romans 13:1-3 says we shouldn’t resist government, we should be subject to government. If we interpret either beast in Revelation 13 as government or possibly a dictator, we should still be subject to the beast according to Romans 13. I know we aren’t to obey...

    Update on World System.

    What is your view on Romans 13:1-3? Let’s say, for example, digital currency is mandated by the end of this year by our government, should we resist it? There’s nothing inherently wrong with digital currency itself, so I would think we should not resist its implementation. What do you think...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    Sure, when the Catholic Church was the only Church I suppose a person could make those kind of arguments but currently there are thousands of individual churches and in those churches where two or three are gathered, Christ is there. Should we constantly want to divide churches? You quote...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    Well, I haven’t physically visited very many churches so I can’t say for absolute certainty without trusting others who have. I can look at statements of faith over the internet but they don’t really tell me what’s going on. I have gone to a few churches where their statements of faith look good...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    What is your source of information on the condition of what’s happening in the church today? Is it only from the Bible or is it secular? If the church has fallen away then the information from the fallen away church itself is secular.

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    Not true. Jesus gives us the example of how to determine if something is fulfilled or not in Luke 7:20-22, we can’t use scripture alone for this. We are to see and hear what is literally happening and compare that to the scriptures in order to determine what’s being fulfilled. Jesus didn’t tell...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    Do you have any evidence where someone predicted the significance of the year 1948 prior to it occurring? For example, is there any written record of someone, let’s say in the 1800’s, who used the Bible to predict exactly what took place in 1948, or is it only after the fact that people are able...

    Time of the End and Knowledge shall be Increased.

    Everyone uses world news to interpret scripture except for maybe some full preterist. Your Amil, right, how else can you know when Satan will be loosed? The Bible doesn’t give you a date, you need to look at secular worldly information and compare that to what the scriptures say in order to...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Well I say they were shortened in the first century. If they weren’t shortened at that time then no flesh would be saved now.

    parable of the fig tree generation

    I don’t think the AOD took place in 70AD, so I would say none. No Yes Yes I think you’re missing my view of the days being shortened.

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Josephus described various extraordinary phenomena in the sky, including a great light that shone around the altar and temple, which appeared to be bright as day for half an hour. He also mentioned sightings of chariots and armed soldiers in the sky, a "star resembling a sword" and a comet that...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Luke 17:24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. The lightning is referring to the literal lightning as it is observed by humans standing on the earth. It can’t be referring to any other type of lightning that...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Ok, I’m not denying a future return of Christ, but simply pointing out that lightning is a local event just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was a local event. Not every eye saw those events.

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Right, His coming wasn’t secretive to those in Jerusalem in 70AD. It was like lightning or fire that came down from heaven and devoured them.

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Lightning is literally a local event and not a global event, under perfect conditions theoretically a person could observe lightning from a maximum distance of approximately 273 miles (440 kilometers) away. Here’s the formula … D = (2RH + H2 – 2Rh – h2)1/2 D is the maximum distance that...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    You are assuming that it will be an unmistakable event. If that’s the case then why would the Matthew 24:23 warning be made in the first place?

    parable of the fig tree generation

    Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. If you have Christ literally standing on the mount of olives (Zechariah 14:4) at a future time, then the elect will not believe it, except for those who are actually near the mount of olives and see...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    I agree with you, I wouldn’t believe anyone who said Jesus is on the mount of olives either. Can you give me your view on Zechariah 14:4, when do you see it taking place? Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the...

    Would you believe someone who said He is on the mount of olives?
