In John 5:39 Jesus says the scriptures testify of Me, and in Matthew 11:2-5 John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the one or if they should look for another. Jesus then tells John’s disciples to show John the things they hear and see. Ok, the thing John’s disciples heard...

Well, a person could simply argue that Revelation was written prior to 70AD and represented the church in 95AD as figurative symbolism. Really it either was or wasn’t meant for those specific 7 churches it was addressed to. Let’s take for example Revelation 3:3, the church at Sardis is warned...

Wow, seriously, no more debating? What makes sense is when Jesus died all the righteous blood shed was placed on Jerusalem and they became the scapegoat that was sent into the wilderness.

David was guilty of killing Uriah the Hittite according in 2 Samuel 12:9. Is David guilty of all the righteous blood shed? No. This shows your statement is not completely accurate.

The church at Philadelphia was kept from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. If this hour of temptation wasn’t events that occurred in 70AD, which would be the case if Revelation was written in 96AD, then what was the event that...

I know that there are some people who do think the man bound in Matthew 22:13 is Satan being bound. This may not be a widely accepted view but I’ve heard it being discussed in the past. An interesting thing is that the man being bound is called “friend” in Matthew 22:12, which is the same word...

Ok, I’m not trying to debate the binding of Satan but in the wedding banquet parable the wedding is first furnished with guests, then the king comes in to see the guests, and then finally the man without the garment is bound. I think most (or at least some) Amill place the banquet being...

In Matthew 22:1-14 is the parable of the wedding banquet. In verse 10 the wedding is furnished with both good and bad guests. In verses 11-13 the guy without the wedding garment is bound and cast out. I’ve seen where some people have suggested this is where Satan is bound, and the wedding...

Some people will argue that the body of Christ is not the bride of Christ. One argument is that OT Israel is the bride and Gentiles/remnant are the body. OT Israel being betrothed, with the marriage and consummation happening when the times of the Gentiles ends and all Israel is saved (they all...

Yes, I had 2 Timothy 2:15 thrown in my face saying I’m not correctly dividing the truth several times. A true believer thinks they are dividing the truth correctly, if a believer recognizes they aren’t dividing correctly they change their view to make sure it alines with the truth. If you...

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Some ways to test the spirits are seen by the Bereans who searched the scriptures daily to see if it was so, and in Jeremiah 28:9 we have the words...

Good point, there is no mention of actually coming to earth. I agree, I don’t think Jesus or the heavenly armies are engaged in a physical battle. Although that doesn’t mean a physical battle wasn’t occurring at the time, only that those in heaven weren’t physically fighting. The sword...

I look at it this way, Christ reigns until his enemies are his footstool, with death being one of those enemies. Since death is disposed of at the GWT we can say this, Christ reigns and at some point his enemies become His footstool but they are not disposed of yet. Then after the...

Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. From Psalm 110:1 Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. In Revelation 19:7 the bride has made herself ready. Putting these verses together we could come to the conclusion...

I think the destruction of Jerusalem was the event that came upon the whole world that the church at Philadelphia was told about, not WW1. Let’s look at the next verse. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. When did Jesus come...

Absolutely agree with you on this RWB, all believers are Jews inwardly and being a Jew ethnically is being a Jew outwardly.

So now we’re back to the church at Philadelphia, unless you can show what event took place after 70AD and within their lifetime that was “coming upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth”, then I’ll have to stick with Revelation being written prior to 70AD.

I’m just trying to show you that there is no way to quantify how a large number of Jews will believe in Christ if it can’t be known how many Jews even exist. In my opinion, Satans little season is problematic for the Amill view, if you can’t quantify it then you don’t have to acknowledge it...

As I posted above, the Jewish website Chabad.org, which I would think would be giving an accurate description of what a Jew is, says Unlike a race, you can get in, but unlike religion, once you’re in you can’t get out. You say it has to be an en masse movement but are you accounting for those...

If all are one in Christ and there is nether Jew nor Greek then how can there be a time of the Gentiles? Why would Paul continue to make a distinction between Jew and Gentile if there were only believers and unbelievers? And why would it seem good to the Holy Spirit in Acts 15:28-29 that a...
