The manifestation of the kingdom of God to the first-century people in Israel was not "withdrawn" or put on hold simply because most of Christ's own people rejected His rule. We know that John wrote, "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." You are not crediting Christ with...

Here's an example for you. In Mark 14:42 in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ tells the slumbering disciples, "Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is AT HAND. And immediately, while He yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude..." Judas was already...

I agree the temple site was never on the Temple Mount. I believe the Second Temple was built in the Ophel area, which is currently being excavated. They are finding an uncommon number of mikvehs in this area, and I believe they will eventually discover that Herod's renovated temple occupied...

"AT HAND" in Scripture means something is already presently in place in the context. Christ was then announcing that "the kingdom of God is AMONG YOU", because He Himself as the monarch of that kingdom of God was then presently standing among them. Jesus was announcing Himself as the...

The vision of the two thighs following the Greek kingdom were the Roman Republic which then became the Roman Empire under the Caesars. This is why Daniel's fourth "dreadful and terrible" kingdom in Daniel 7:7 (following the Greek "leopard" kingdom) was described as being "diverse from all the...

As someone else wrote above, John the Baptist and Christ Jesus could not be the two witnesses, since they were not slain together at the same time as we see happening to the two witnesses. In addition, neither Jesus nor John the Baptist were refused burial, and neither were their bodies...

I am of the opinion that the man called Melchizedek (which was not a proper name, but the descriptive title "King of righteousness") was simply the righteous man Enoch, seventh from Adam, who was translated so that he should not see death. I believe Enoch was later re-introduced to the world as...

After Christ became anointed as our "Great High Priest" according to the deathless order of Melchizedek, Hebrews 7:12 tells us that the law was changed. "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." The former glory of the old Levitical high...

That part I underlined in your statement is exactly what I am posting about. In the OT, God would boast about His ability to call the end from the beginning, even before events came to pass on earth, just to demonstrate His omniscience and His deity. I am merely posting about Revelation's past...

John the Revelator does not agree with you that these events are future for you and me. They are long past. It was going to be the Scarlet Beast of Revelation 17:8, arising out of the bottomless pit, which would overcome the two witnesses and kill them (Rev. 11:7). That Scarlet Beast John...

Please read what I wrote more carefully. I never wrote that Zechariah 4:11-14 was to be fulfilled in AD 70, NEITHER will it be fulfilled in our future. Zechariah 4:11-14 was a prediction regarding the post-exilic return, when Zerubbabel's hands would not only lay the foundation stone of that...

One problem with this. Those 144,000 Matthew 27:52-53 resurrected saints never died again. They aren't "sleeping" at present. Scripture tells us that it is impossible for a bodily-resurrected saint to die twice. "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, and after that the judgment" (Heb. 9:27)...

Again, absolutely true. God granted one full "week" of seven years for His own people to get on board with the New Covenant from the beginning of His public miraculous ministry starting in AD 30. I believe that "week" wrapped up in AD 37 with the vision God gave to Paul in Jerusalem's temple...

Absolutely true. Christ Jesus was called the "First-fruits" in 1 Cor. 15:20 &23. ALSO, the 144,000 Jewish saints of Rev. 14:4 were ALSO called "the First-fruits unto God and to the Lamb". Those 144,000 "First-fruits" were the Matthew 27:52-53 saints which came out of their graves around...

You are ranking the "great tribulation" on a scale which measures merely physical disasters on a level of severity. The "great tribulation" AD 66-70 period in Jerusalem was like no other either before or since then, because the entire Satanic realm was imprisoned within the city's walls. This...

It was prophesied in the OT. Read the entire "song of Moses" in Deuteronomy 32:1-43, which gave all the details of how Israel's "latter end" would finish them as a people experiencing God's "vengeance". This "song of Moses" was being sung in Revelation 15:3, just prior to all the seven plagues...

From AD 66 until AD 70, when the entire Satanic realm was imprisoned within the besieged city of Jerusalem (Rev. 18:2). This produced horrific conditions of both spiritual and physical disasters that never happened either before or since then. Only resurrected saints participated in that event...

We are now waiting on Christ's THIRD coming in the distant future - the THIRD and final resurrection event which Paul gave in chronological order in 1 Cor. 15:20-28. #1) "Christ the FIRST-fruits" #2) "AFTERWARD" (epeita - following next in order) "they that are Christ's at His coming" (the...

You have a twisted sense of humor. I pity anyone who cannot read the time-relevant texts and terms which point to the fulfilled first-century coming of Christ before that generation had passed. Christ has always fulfilled His own promises to the letter. It confirms His deity that He came to...

You forget this text. "Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." Hell (Hades / Sheol) was the conditions of the grave, into which Christ's physical body was placed for the duration of three days and nights while His soul went into what was...
