The Greek words translated quickly, speedily, shortly are found in these verses in the KJB. In every single usage, quickly, speedily, shortly always means without delay or the very smallest delay. Trying to force these verses that speak of an action from Christ to mean about 40 years, or worse...

Sorry Archie, I guess I should have spoken a little more clearly here. I have nothing against the historical writings of Flavius Josephus, he seems to be well received, giving a notable, though sometimes questionable accounting of the "Antiquities of the Jews". Many consider his work to be a...

You're very welcome Nancy! All the glory to God only, teaching us through His Spirit in us!

One point for you to dwell on for now! If the return of Jesus was imminent in the first century AD how does 40 years later fit? For that matter how does almost 2,000 years later fit? Revelation 22:7 (KJV) Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this...

Your welcome Archie. I wonder if the doctrine of Preterism would exist if not for outside historical record written especially by the unbelieving Jewish Historian Josephus? It is my intention to reply to other verses the Preterit uses to inform their doctrine after Church this afternoon...

Archie, I watched the first video, and it is almost exactly what I thought it would be. There is much there to consider. Without commenting on all that he's said, I will show how the verses he uses to support Preterism do not support what he alleges. Matthew 3:2 (KJV) And saying, Repent ye...

Archie, my view of eschatology is formed by the doctrine of Amillennialism. I have spent untold hours not only researching the doctrines of Preterism, but also arguing against them. The thing I've found with other eschatological POV is that they use the Bible to prove what they already assume...

After watching the first eight minutes of the first video it appears the podcaster is building a case for Partial Preterits. Since I reject both PP and full Preterits I would like to know if this is the eschatological point of view being argued in the videos that I might know if watching them...

Hmmm? When the Old Covenant prophets, and the New Covenant apostles speak of the coming of Christ, weren't they speaking of His first coming in flesh, and His coming again in flesh in the same manner in which He was seen departing? In a sense I would agree that Christ does come, when He enters...

Joel simply prophesies about the Day of the Lord that would come. Believing all that he foretells shall come to pass during the Day of the Lord. There is much in his prophecy that speaks of what shall come to pass in that Day/Age when the promised Lord would come. The prophesy speaks not only...

I assume you're referring to the parable about the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 22:2 (KJV) The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, Matthew 22:9-10 (KJV) Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So...

Jacob is the personal name of the father of the twelve tribes of Israel of Old, Jacob whom I love. "Israel my elect" is Christ. Isaiah 45:3-4 (KJV) And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by...

Who is this bride adorned for her Husband? According to Scripture the faithful Church is the bride of Christ who shall come down from God out of heaven after the first heaven and earth were passed away. The faithful Church is not built of one nation of people, it is built and shall be complete...

Marilyn, you're reading the prophets as if you're still waiting for the promised Messiah to come? God says Israel shall rule over the nations of the earth, through the spiritual Kingdom of God/Heaven. This is how Israel of God shall rule over and is ruling over the earth. When Messiah; Christ...

Two groups; Jew & Gentile made one!

Is that Israel of the flesh, or Israel of God? Galatians 6:15-16 (KJV) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Not nations as a whole Marilyn, nations of them that are saved! IOW everlasting salvation belongs not only to the Jews, but to people from every nation of the world. For in Christ there is no longer Jew & Gentile, but ONE people called Christians. Revelation 21:24 (KJV) And the nations...

You're making my point for me. When Christ came Israel of Old was looking for a physical military King, one like King David. Which is why they rejected Christ who came meek and mild riding on a donkey. In a parable speaking of them Christ speaking of them says, "We will not have this man to...

Spiritually, that is through our spirit, believers are eternally with Christ from the moment we have been born again and entered the spiritual Kingdom of God now being built as the gospel is proclaimed. We are presently spiritually with Him through His Spirit in us. In this life before...

What purposes do you believe that God has for Israel of the flesh (ethnic Jews) that He does not have for Gentiles also? What eternal/everlasting promises are explicitly for Israel of flesh only? The only promises to the ethnic nation of Israel that was exclusively and physically for the...
