I see the days that were shortened as the days without hope. After Israel rejected going into the promised land they had no hope for forty years as they wandered in the wilderness. After the cross they did have hope, even if they initially rejected Jesus and continued the sacrifices. That...

My view of Matthew 24:15-26 is different than most others. I take the days being shortened as meaning the indicator of when to flee changed from the AOD to Jerusalem being surrounded by armies. When you shorten a set number of days you either end them sooner or start them later than originally...

In 1 Thessalonians 5:2 the DOTL comes as a thief. In Matthew 24:29, immediately after the tribulation the sun is darkened … Here’s the problem, how can the DOTL come as a thief to the unbelievers? Are they so ignorant that they are unable to realize the tribulation that’s happening to them...

Yes, there are several verses that view the wind as a good thing, such as Ezekiel 37:9. Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they...

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. In this verse the angels are exerting effort to prevent the wind from blowing on...

It was a popular theory many years ago but most scientists don’t agree with it now. If you do a search you’ll see all the pros and cons.

It’s more likely that humans were concentrated and localized prior to the flood. There is nothing that points to them leaving the general area around the Garden of Eden. A local flood was all that was needed to wipe out all of mankind except Noah and his family.

I had someone suggest the expanding earth theory to explain the dinosaurs. I don’t necessarily agree with it and I’m not trying to promote it either but it is interesting. The expanding earth theory is just the idea that basically the earth was smaller in the past and all the continents fit...

I replied to post #12 in my post #15. As for the other posts, here’s my rebuttal … In 2 Peter 2:5, Peter writes that the “world of the ungodly” was flooded. Here, Peter implies a distinction between the whole of planet Earth and that part of Earth inhabited by ungodly human beings. He does this...

Which verses are you talking about?

Right, and the fourth kingdom was Rome, which did rule over all the earth.

I would say it is relevant, Sodom and Gomorra were local and the flood was local. That’s important information when we look at 2 Peter 3. The whole entire planet didn’t perish when He came in 70AD

Kol eretz and ha eretz (translated as whole earth, the earth) have a much more localized and grounded meaning in Hebrew. Every time kol eretzis is used in Genesis, it is speaking of a limited area. Eretz itself is actually better translated as soil or ground. (see Robert Alter's translation of...

There is nothing to lead us to believe that humans had spread over the entire globe in the days of Noah, they were concentrated and localized. The story in Genesis regarding the tower of Babel seems to imply at the very least the human custom of staying closely together was both cultural and...

Have you looked at the Biblical case for a local flood instead of a global flood? Perhaps a local flood means a local 2 Peter 3:10-12 event which might work with your view of the millennium, I don’t know. There are some good arguments for a local flood. For example, kol eretz and ha eretz...

I have no idea why anyone would try to argue that but you did in post #177. Here’s what you said … “Believers would be overcome physically, not spiritually.” “The gates of hell overcome many believers physically. They are called martyrs.” You argued that the beast and the gates of hell...

No I’m not. I’m non-denominational. What was it I said that made you think I might be 7th Day Adventist?

Yes, and the paper being unfolded in Revelation vs fold in Daniel could also possibly be seen with Michael. In Daniel 12:1-2 Michael takes a stand, a time of great trouble, the people are delivered, and a resurrection with some getting life and others contempt. This all seems to take place as...

Great analogy. I thought about this and asked AI what happens when time is shortened in the spacetime continuum. When time is shortened in the spacetime continuum, it typically refers to the phenomenon of time dilation, where time appears to pass at different rates for observers in different...

Ok, so when we see the word “overcome” we can know that it doesn’t mean to get the victory in every sense, it means both, getting the victory in one sense while being defeated in another sense. Spiritually we get the victory but physically we are defeated. 1 Corinthians 6:9Know ye not that the...
