    The True Bible Chronology, the “Times and the seasons”, Part 8

    Having examined the first five periods of Bible Chronology, we believe that we have established that from the creation to the end of the period of judges a total of 3009 years elapsed. Let us now examine the final two periods of chronology recorded in the bible beginning with Link # 24 in the...

    We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, no need to get worked up over it, it is not essential to ones salvation.

    What are we really dealing with here?

    Was our Lord baptized in 27 A.D. or 29 A.D.? Let’s review the facts. John the Baptist was six months older than our Lord (Luke 1:26, 36); hence he was of age (thirty years, according to the Law--Num. 4:3; Luke 3:23, etc.) and began to preach six months before our Lord became of age and began...

    You state: I suspect my using of the term, and you’re using of the term, Dispensationalist, is different. Yours is probably more accurate, as I use mine to describe the group of people who believe in the 'secret rapture' before the 7 year Tribulation. Usually that's how they identify themselves...

    As the Apostle Paul once said, “I am set for the defense of the truth”, therefore I cannot in all good conscious support error, nor even give the impression that I condone it. “The truth is God’s representative, Christ’s representative, and hence our standard; and as true soldiers we must...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    If you accept the 457 B.C. date then that means you believe that 483 years later in A.D. 26 our Lord was baptized, anointed the Christ and likewise that our Lord was crucified in the spring of A.D. 30 instead of the generally accepted and well establish date spring A.D. 33 I would advise you go...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    You state: … all Dispensationalist ARE futurists, are they not? No they are not, I personally believe in dispensationalism that is as it is taught in the scriptures, but I am certainly not a believer in the erroneous doctrine propagated by futurist. My belief is pretty much that which was...

    The Abomination of Desolation, Part 2

    Continued from our previous post. Christ’s continual sacrifice was not actually canceled or abolished by Papacy, but it was set aside by a false doctrine advanced by that system — which gradually, but in the end fully and completely, set aside the merit of Christ’s sacrifice as a continual...

    The Abomination of Desolation

    This was posted in one of the threads on the forum, but due to its importance I felt it should be posted here for any who missed it. "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy place (whosoever reads let him understand): then...

    “Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks (69 weeks)…” Sorry but we must insist on the date 454 B.C. as the 69 symbolic weeks (or 483 years) were to reach unto...

    “The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, or four hundred and ninety days, represent four hundred and ninety years, each SYMBOLIC day representing a year. Note: The authority for using a day to represent a year comes from God himself; that is, He has made the application. (See Ezek 4:6 Compare with Num...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    I believe you are attempting to connect the term dispensationalism with futurism as though they were one in the same, this of course is not correct. The term Dispensationalism as given in the New Oxford American Dictionary is: “Christian Theology, a belief in a system of historical progression...

    Our friend brakelite has given us a very good general outline (both historical and scriptural) of events leading up to the Antichrist (system), we should therefore like to follow suit, but here we will focus more on one particular aspect of the deceptive system which when rightly understood...

    The True Bible Chronology, the “Times and the seasons”, Part 7

    “The Period of the Judges” continued from previous post. Thus far we have a total of 301 years, this is confirmed by Jephtha. Thus two thirds through the judges God confirms that our process is correct. In Judges 11:26 Jephtha points out that Israel had possession of Ammon’s land for three...

    After examining the first four periods of Bible Chronology, we have established that from the creation to the division of Canaan a total of 2559 years elapsed. Let us now examine the fifth period of bible chronology beginning with Link # 23 in the true bible chronology, Gods “Timepiece” “The...

    Actually the parallels between the two ages, the Jewish age and the Gospel age go back much further than just the first advent, they go all the way back to their beginnings with the death of Jacob. These parallels are referred to in the scriptures as Israels "Double" which God inflicted upon...

    Glad you mentioned this last concerning the Arch Angel, I was going to say something but didn't want to risk opening up another can of worms and drifting off subject, nevertheless you are correct there is only one Arch or Chief Angel (messenger of the Lord) and that is the "Logos" our Lord, the...

    “Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.” Dan 7:2 Although your interpretation has its merits we are more inclined to believe the true “strife” which was taking place was that which was taking place behind the...

    The legs of iron as you recall represent the Roman Empire. The two legs represent both Rome and Constantinople each of which at one time was the Roman capital. The “feet and toes” of the image (part iron and part clay) consisted of the ten toes, which are kingdoms, corresponding to the ten...
