    THE REAL PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE

    Yes and "Aion" can also mean world, or earth etc. and other definition. I agree that G:0165 and G:1074 could be considered to be interchangeable, however there are contextual differences that suggest that this is not the option that the original authors even considered. From my observations...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    @TribulationSigns, you are making a mistake in your reasoning. Matthew 24:32 states this, "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. Now the Fig Tree was a frequent metaphor for the nation of Israel...

    THE REAL PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE

    What is your problem Davy? It seems that you are reacting to being called out for your own misappropriation of the Geek text in Matthew 24. I have provided the Strong Definition for G:1074, "Genea" which suggests that "Genea" should be understood to have the meaning of an age. Your latest...

    THE REAL PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE

    Really Davy, is that the best you can do from your arrogant perspective of being "RIGHT" because of your "AGE." Age does not necessarily denote spiritual wisdom, but you have pointed to your "old" age as a sign of just how "RIGHT" you believe you are. A generation is equivalent to an age which...

    parable of the fig tree generation

    This claim is not true in my humble opinion.

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    Amigo, where do you believe that I have spent the last 30 or so years of my life studying. I have been reading the scriptures and have been able to understand how the End Times will unfold. From my perspective I have 20 plus years on you and in my time frame you are but still very much a...

    THE REAL PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE

    I agree that this is one possible way of interpreting Mat 24:34. You are reading the English word "Generation" as being a descendant generation which is the modern present day understanding of "genea", however in the PC Study Bible G:1074 has been given the following Strong Definition: -...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    Oh Amigo, your comprehension of what I had written has missed what I had posted. My post did not point to when Christ's Second Coming would occur, but rather to the time when Isaiah 24:21-22, i.e. Armageddon would happen and when God would begin gathering the nation of Israel once more to...

    THE REAL PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE

    OH Davy, if you have taken to time to consider what I had posted, our understanding is much closer than you give me credit for.

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    What your rebuttal consists of is a number of your opinions, which may have some substance and logic, however this is the first time that I have read of this particular understanding. The ages I was presenting was the Seven Ages of the overarching age from the creation of Adam up to the time of...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    There is nothing wrong with my narrative as you are suggesting. The "New Covenant" theology which hangs off of Jer 31:31ff was never meant for the "Church" to justify that the "Church" was to replace the Nation of Israel in the End Times. Jer 31:31ff tells us that God would make like new again...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    Thank you for your attempt to correct me over my post from a position of ignorance with respect to how many ages will be played out between when Adam was created and the final judgement of mankind. We know that there were four ages between the creation of Adam and the birth of Christ. We know...

    time frame table development

    And the result is a mismatch of colours that can only show the confusion of the person who is generating this pretty picture.

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    You are right, the Biblehub interlinear does not say "after that", this is just my understanding. If we look at all of the events that will occur in around 20 years' time, i.e. round 2045 AD, FACT 1, God begins His gathering of Israel to Himself, after the completion of the visitation of the...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    @Christian Soldier and @amigo de christo You are both missing the point of God's prophetic words. Sadly, the contextual accuracy of our English translations leaves a lot to be desired. Paul wrote that when the fulness of time of the Gentiles is completed, after that all of Israel will be...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    As an Australian believer, I do not hold to your understanding of Romans 11:25b-26. When the visitation of the fathers' iniquities on their children and their children's children, ends at the end of the fourth age, and the completion of the fullness of time of the Gentiles is completed, after...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    Amigo, sadly many Christians came to hate the Israelites and drove them further away from God's Salvation promises found in the various prophets' words. Many so called Christians will be judged with the Kings of the earth at Armageddon because of the part they/we played in the Little Horns...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    Be mindful of the warning that Paul gave in this passage from Romans 11: - 11I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their...

    ISLAM IS NOT THE REVELATION BEAST

    I agree Islam is not the fourth beast of Daniel 7:1-12, but they are being influenced within his dominion, and that of the Little Horn, to speak great words against God, and to trample God's Sanctuary and His earthly Hosts.
