    Parable of the Fig Tree

    That interpretation of Luke 21 is very complicated and confusing. Unfortunately it neglects the basic structural outline of the Olivet Discourse and basic principles of hermeneutics; namely that the simplest explanation is likely the right one and should be favored over a more complex...

    Parable of the Fig Tree

    Jesus told us to watch for "all these things." One of these things being the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel. “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    And Paul says by word of the Lord. Either he had a revelation or it was the word of Jesus on the Mount of Olives. While it is most definitely possible that he could have had a divine revelation, and it says "We declare" meaning it would have been a collective divine revelation, it is more likely...

    Don’t Be Like The Five Foolish Virgins = Matthew 25;1-5

    While got questions supports their own theology (don't we all), let us consider the co text of the statement in revelation 19. Verse 2 states God has judged the great prostitute. God has avenged the blood of His servants spilt by the prostitute. Verse 7 states the Bride has made herself ready...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    A solid building that stands the storm must be built on a solid and firm foundation. A diplomat in a country must speak the language of the host nation, understanding the words with a shared meaning. When two have a different meaning for the same word, if not many words, then communication...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Elohim is used for YHWH but also used for other "Spiritual Beings" such as the Divine Council. This word unquestionably is also used in the plural apart from referring to YHWH. It is a logical fallacy to say God can only be physical or spiritual. He can and is both according the the whole...

    Parable of the Fig Tree

    We are not to believe that the false prophet or Antichrist is actually Jesus the Christ. He does tell us these things though so we may watch Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform...

    Parable of the Fig Tree

    The false Messiah crowned king? I must have skipped that page of the Bible. Where can I find it? Also, the one world government over all nations... that contradicts my Bible. I'd start with the book of Daniel. The kingdom of the Antichrist campaigns aginst nations. Obviously those nations are...

    The Last Plague

    Have you ever paralleled the final seal, trumpet and bowl? Have you ever read that red text right before the 7th bowl? I'll give you a hint read Matthew 24 and the first few chapters of revelation. While one or two of the same signs would be Coincidental, the same 4 repeated throughout...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    While those facts are true, nothing in malachi 4 and Revelation 11 suggests that it will be a prophet of old. Is it remotely possible for it to be someone born and raised immediately preceding the Tribulation? John the Baptist was Elijah and yet not literally Elijah. While it is possible is...

    Don’t Be Like The Five Foolish Virgins = Matthew 25;1-5

    Luke 23:43 is not a very good verse to base a theological argument on due to its requirement for proper punctuation that does not exist in the Greek. Lets eat, grandma! Lets eat Grandma! Same words, just a comma changes the whole meaning. “Truly I say to you today (G4594) you shall be...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Some of the wonderful mysteries to ponder. I'm not so sure that there is sufficient evidence to make a strong argument for those two to be the two witnesses from Revelation ch 11.

    Don’t Be Like The Five Foolish Virgins = Matthew 25;1-5

    While I agree that Jesus knew that there would be those in the church that call Jesus Lord but don't do what He says, I don't agree with the place prepared for us being located in heaven (for several reasons), and that the rapture occurs before the resurrection of the dead.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    David, I almost completely agree. We know the human, Christ, is there but not for sure any other humans, though there could be others such as Enoch or Elijah. There are other physical beings in Heaven such as Elohim (spiritual beings). The divine human Jesus Christ is there. There may be...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Here lies the difficulty with everyone agreeing with the same conclusions; our interpretations hinges on other definitions and foundational beliefs. Specifically I'm referring to the difference between who will be in heaven and where each goes after death but before the resurrection spoke of...

    Don’t Be Like The Five Foolish Virgins = Matthew 25;1-5

    Matthew 22:11-14 says otherwise... you can get in but don't belong unless you are faithfully obedient to Christ...
