    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    This passage does NOT say Zerubbabel is one of the two witnesses of Rev 11. It says the two olive trees upon the right of the candlestick are the two anointed ones. Zechariah 4:11-14 (KJV) Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I really don't mean to be harsh, but you have not discerned your conclusions FROM Scripture, but have instead read your preconceived opinion INTO Scripture.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    That great and terrible Day of the Lord came when Christ came to earth, born a man. Both great, because many will be turned from darkness to light, and terrible because the Day of the Lord shall end with the wrath of God being poured out upon the earth, and the GWTJ to follow. Read Malachi in...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Hear what the angel tells Zecharias below: Luke 1:13-17 (KJV) But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    John-the-Baptist most assuredly did turn the hearts of many, which is why they went to be baptized in repentance for sin. You have not properly discerned who the two witnesses of Rev 11 are. John was most assuredly among them. But if I go into detail of how to identify the two, the thread...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Elijah is not being sent back before the great and terrible Day of the Lord. The same Spirit that was in Elijah was also in John, and that's how John-the-Baptist fulfills this prophesy. This was supernatural because the Holy Spirit would not be IN man, as He was in both Elijah and John, until...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Yes, I agreed with your original post, and thought we were like minded until I read through the rest of your replies. John-the-Baptist is fulfillment of Elijah that was to come. Elijah will not be coming a second time.

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    I'm beginning to wonder if you really understand the meaning of Amillennialism??? Amils, such as myself, covenantee, WPM do NOT believe there will be a future millennium on this earth. Amillennial = no ONE thousand years on this earth or the one to come. Amil defines a thousand years of Rev...

    PAUL WROTE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PRETRIB RAPTURE TEACHERS

    As we can see in these two verses, Paul was simply assuring the Thessalonians that not only had NOT our Lord Jesus Christ yet returned, but then goes on to explain to them how the Day of Christ' return wasn't even close (at hand), because He will not come again until what he writes shall come to...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    You're missing a key word in the verse which says "hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:" They KNOW and with GREAT FEAR that they shall be called to stand before God's face! That's why they long to hide, as if they could, because when they...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I think you've pegged him! Seems he's just another in the long line of premillennialists but using another tactic trying to prove the unprovable.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Exactly! And John did restore the hearts of many people, telling them the Messiah was coming, and baptized them for remission of sin. It seems some don't get it because they hold to a view of ALL national Israel being saved when Christ returns to establish a one thousand year kingdom on this...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I seem to have totally misunderstood your initial post.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    But John did not tell them he was the one the angel foretells his father, Zachariah, would come in the SPIRIT of Elijah. That is how the prophesy was fulfilled, John-the-Baptist was not Elijah returning from the dead. John was however in the power and spirit of Elijah because he was filled...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I agree that John-the-Baptist is fulfillment of the prophesy regarding the coming of the Lord. It is proof the Day of the Lord has already come, and since He has already come, we now look for and wait for the Lord to come again on the last Day of the Lord at the end of this age.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    The prophet Elijah will not be returning to earth again, and Christ never said He would come twice!

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    John-the-Baptist being filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb was indeed fulfillment of coming in the Spirit and power of Elijah. John's birth further proves the Day of the Lord began when Christ came to earth a man.

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Luke 1:17 (KJV)...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    The Day of the Lord written about in Peter is the last Day of the Lord. You can discover the Day of the Lord is the whole New Covenant era through what is written in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost. Because it is when He comes again on the final Day of the Lord it will...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    I too believe the Day of the Lord both foretold of old would come, and foretold would come to an end or last Day of the Lord, began with the advent of Christ coming to earth a man. Most don't understand the Day of the Lord includes all that is written of the Lord because they think the Day of...
