Matthew 13:38 but the tares are the children of the wicked one John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men Hello! Matthew 13:41 and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things...

I’m not arguing that the tares were saved, only that they were in the kingdom prior to them being purged out by the angels. The point is the same old covenant field was sown by Jesus and Satan. You have Satan in the bottomless pit during the new covenant so how do you suppose he would...

This points to a harvest occurring in 70AD, the end of the old covenant age, when the old decaying covenant finally vanished. How do you explain the present tense verb Jesus used in the parable about Him sowing? Right, that’s why the kingdom was purged of the tares. Nobody could be saved by...

They got in just as Matthew 23:13 says … Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The tares were sown into His field which could only...

Prior to the gospel being preached, prior to the cross, people entered into the kingdom through the old covenant rules. That is how the tares got into the kingdom, after the cross the new covenant came into force and the only way to enter the kingdom from then on was by water and Spirit.

Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. In this verse we have the kingdom be taken from the chief priest and Pharisees. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for...

Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, The angels gather out of His kingdom, so somehow the tares got into His kingdom without being born of water and Spirit. Wouldn’t it make...

Well, I agree God does allow evil things to happen to saved people, people who are in the kingdom, but I don’t think the tares represent evil events, they represent children of the wicked. According to John 3:5 a person must be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom.

Right, I agree, the farmer never lost possession of His field. Saying the tares enter the kingdom at the very end of the age, when the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord, creates that problem of the farmer losing His field then getting it back. Another way the Amils are...

The tares are sown in His field. Does Jesus loose possession of His field then regain it again?

I agree, the tares are pulled out of the kingdom at the harvest, end of the age and I also agree there are only two conditions of mankind, either saved or unsaved. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the...

Numbers 35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. Some people consider the land where the Roman armies stood just prior to the siege to be a holy place based on what the Levites were...

When I look at the various end time views I see some people, who for the most part, are very dramatic and have an aversion to prophecy being fulfilled on anyone other than themselves or during their lifetime. It’s a matter of looking at the news and finding some scripture that could possibly be...

Well, Preterism just means seeing prophesied things as being fulfilled, I think most people on this forum are partial preterist in that they see at least some things filled. To a Jew, who doesn’t think Jesus was the Messiah, all Christians are preterist. There’s one thing all eschatological...

Yes, I agree, Genesis 4:10 certainly needs to be considered. In Matthew 23:35 all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias will come on Jerusalem. Whatever Jerusalem is or represents it dwells on the earth when the...

Here’s my critique of the summary ChatGPT gave … Correct Under the new covenant we are to forgive each other. Stephen is an example of this where he says “lay not this sin to their charge” in Acts 7:60. Consider Jim Elliot, the missionary who was killed trying to bring the gospel to a native...

Ok, so let me get this straight, all the souls under the altar at the fifth seal are people in paradise and some of them have been there for almost 2,000 years. Then when the second coming happens they all in unison ask the Revelation 6:10 question knowing full well that the answer to that...

If everything happens in a twinkling of an eye then how is it the dead in Christ rise first while at that same twinkling of an eye the tares are gathered first? 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the...

Thanks for the clarification. You mentioned the three wisemen in your other post and we certainly know that they had some kind of method they used to determine when Jesus was born, undoubtedly they used information that came from Daniel, and most likely the seventy weeks but we don’t know for...

Thanks for your post, I can definitely appreciate charts. I have personal experience trading stocks using technical analysis. On your chart it appears you have all known prophecies being fulfilled between mid April and mid September. Is that correct? If so that is a very interesting and...
