No, can't recall any Scripture declaring Christ's Apostles and disciples who followed Him as criminals. The unbelieving Jews certainly reckoned them as such though. Luke 22 is a timeline just prior to His being delivered up with His disciples to the time of His arrest and trials. You'll notice...

Got to agree with that too, since the term 'Jew' comes from the sole tribe of Judah only, and became applied to the tribes of Benjamin and Levi joined with Judah's southern kingdom to make up the "house of Judah" per God's Word. The northern kingdom of the "house of Israel" per God's Word never...

That above is a hogwash interpretation, even an interpretation FROM Christ's enemies who would destroy God's people!!! Luke 22:35-36 35 And He said unto them, "When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?" And they said, "Nothing." 36 Then said He unto them...

Read through the Ezek.44 chapter and you'll see what I'm talking about. There's TWO separate groups of priests mentioned there. The Zadok (Just) vs. the Levites. It is shown there that only the Zadok priests will be allowed to come near Christ to serve Him in that Millennium time. Yet the...

I pretty much concur with that Retrobyter, except the part often left out about the ten lost tribes of Israel. Many in Christ's Church today who think they are Gentiles are going to wake up at Christ's coming and realize they have a heritage among the ten lost tribes of Israel, a branch of...

The strong delusion will affect... believers that allow themselves to be deceived, but it is not specifically meant upon Christ's Church, which is WHY... Paul gave that warning in 2 Thess.2 to those at Thessalonica a second... time (2 Thess.2:5). Our Lord Jesus' first warning with the 7 signs He...

The "abomination of desolation" Jesus quoted from the Book of Daniel is NOT... about literal destruction of Jerusalem. Instead, it's about the setting up of an IDOL in false worship inside a Jewish temple in Jerusalem, as per the pattern of Antiochus in 165-170 B.C. And lo, the orthodox...

Don't know what you mean by that. Rev.11 is about 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe events which culminates in the final 7th Trumpet - 3rd Woe period immediately prior to the 15th verse, showing the kingdoms of this world having become those of The Lord and His Christ. Doesn't take a lot of common sense to...

That's all a factor, but still not the point of 2 Thess.2, because the Scripture is pointing out a warning that a particular false one is coming to try many of God's people, and if the believer isn't paying attention they might mistake that false one as our Lord Jesus, because of the wonders and...

Christ's coming is with the events of the 6th Seal, 7th Trumpet, 7th Vial. The events of the 7 Seals are not in exact order. The purpose of the Seals is to impart information about the 7 signs of the end Christ first gave in Matt.24 and Mark 13. The Seals open The Book in order to get...

So Jesus didn't quote from the Book of Daniel about the "abomination of desolation" in Matt.24 and Mark 13? Is that what you're trying to say? He did, and you well know it. And I think you also well know what the real meaning of the "abomination of desolation" from Daniel is about, an idol...

Greek antropos is used often in the NT when referring to a single man. So that argument is very weak, especially in light of the singularity of the rest of the 2 Thess.2 Scripture. That idea that the temple Paul mentioned in 2 Thess.2:4 is a spiritual temple is also a tradition of men not...

Rev 11:15 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. (KJV) Guess you missed that verb part of "are become" there, which involves all...

The "son of perdition" has a specific meaning, and points to the devil. So does the "man of sin" marker, for the devil sinned from the beginning according to Apostle John. Our Lord Jesus called Judas "a devil" in John 6:70, so there again, that "son of perdition" title is a pointer to the...

I well understand that the new heavens and a new earth is for after... the lake of fire event, after God's Great White Throne Judgment. John 6:39-44 39 And this is the Father's will Which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at...

When Jesus returns and gathers His Church, and pours out His cup of wrath upon the earth, that event will end this present world age, even though His Millennium reign that immediately begins right after that is considered by many to be a part of this present world. How we can be sure of this is...

The John Scripture about the subject of the "antichrist" does not stand alone. It's the subject of the coming pseudo-Christ which Jesus warned us of in Matt.24, and that Paul warned us of in 2 Thess.2. Paul even mentions the subject of the "mystery of iniquity" already being at work in 2...

The word 'liberal' has lost its original meaning and usage today. It's because of how Christ's enemies have slowly stained it to include ideas that allow the sinner to continue in sin and to hate the idea of a ruling class, and in general, the idea of 'authority'. At one time it was a term...

All the office names have been confused throughout Christian history. A pastor's job is primarily to teach, and was associated with either the office of presbyter (from priest) or bishop. A pastor along with the elders, bishops, and deacons does... have authority over the congregation per the...

Which was kinda'... my point. Thanks.
