    The 7 years and the great tribulation period

    Hi Truth, Actually it is the Holy Spirit who wrote God`s word. And the 70 years of exile for Israel was because they did not keep God`s Sabbath`s. God stopped at 70 Sabbaths. `As long as she (the land) lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years,. (2 Chron. 36: 21) Then God...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Good, let`s look at just this part. I agree that the 12 apostles of the Lamb have the new birth, (& infilling of the Holy Spirit) and a living hope, with the word `US.` Very good so far. Then we read - `an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for YOU.`...

    Rapture ... soon?

    No, they do not represent the church. The 12 disciples looked for the kingdom rule of Israel to be restored. `Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ` (Acts 1: 6) Peter said `YOU (NOT we) as living stones...and `YOU are a...royal priesthood..` (1 Peter 2: 5 & 9)

    Yes, I do. They were promised rulership there. (Matt. 19: 28)

    It`s interesting that for over 70 years the Arabs in Israel have been offered a state of their own. So why have they not chosen to receive it? Well, for the Arabs to have a state of their own they have to recognize the state of Israel. This they will never do as they desire to annihilate Israel...

    The Body of Christ is on the Lord`s own throne, His seat of power over all other thrones. This throne is in the highest. we are NOT in the New Jerusalem but rule over it.

    Rapture ... soon?

    Hi David, `A Royal Priesthood,` are Kings and priests, Kingpriests. Now in Israel those two offices are always separate however in the Body of Christ we see those two offices. This we see in Rev. 1: 6 ` and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father...` Also in Rev. 3: 21 `To him...

    1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 is not talking about world peace and safety

    `But you, brethren are NOT in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief...` (1 Thess. 5: 4) The Lord will come as a thief in the night to those in darkness not to the Believers in the Body of Christ.

    8 days, the 8th day leading to a new beginning.

    Hi David, The pretrib, makes great sense. You see the Body of Christ will be enthroned with the Lord on His own throne in the highest, (Rev. 3: 21) before the trib. (Acts 3: 20 & 21 & Joel 2: 1 & 2) From that throne will begin the judgments upon the world system and fallen angels. (1 Cor. 6: 2...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Thank you for that detail David. And yes on the foundations were the names of the 12 apostles. They were promised to be ruling over the 12 tribes of Israel. (Matt. 19: 28) And ` the foundations of the wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones...` (Rev. 21: 19) As I have shown these...

    Help... the four creatures in front of the throne in Revelation

    Hi CTK, Hope this helps. The 4 Living Creatures. Then before the throne, in the midst, we are shown what seem to be `living creatures.` These are representations of the Lord`s ministries as to how He will bring restoration. `Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Yes, PIP, Jesus is Son of Man and Son of God, however when He was on earth He only operated as the Son of Man. It was by the word of God and the Holy Spirit that He did amazing things.

    `And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.` (Luke 24: 27) Foundation Stones - tribes - names - meanings - Jesus` rulership.

    So...what do you think? `Why has God likened the city to a bride?`

    I did read Luke 24 and did not find the `bride.`

    A community of people. And God gives a wonderful description of the foundations and rulership and community of the New Jerusalem.

    `Abraham.... waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.` (Heb. 11: 10) `God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.` (Heb. 11: 16) A city and a bride are two different things. The question should be `Why has God likened the...
