One webpage says: "The Roman judgment seat, or bema, was a raised platform tribunal where magistrates and governors exercised judicial authority, later used metaphorically in the New Testament to illustrate divine judgment." The Bible says, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those...

IMO: Daniel 9:25 says "sevens," not "years." It is a mistake to read our modern conventions back into the ancient Middle East conventions. שלום

It says "sevens," not "years."

Daniel 9:25 "seventy sevens": o. "Seven" = seven years, where "year" = 360 days. o. "Decree to rebuild" by King Cyrus of Persia = March 5, 444 B.C. o. "Coming ruler" = Jesus on a colt. o. Entry of Jesus on a colt was March 30, 30 A.D. o. This was 69 sevens after the decree. o. "One seven" is...

Revelation 20:11-25 describes the judgment of the unsaved dead after the millennium. Some had died at sea, some had died in the Genesis flood, others had died on land and were buried on land.

Hillsage queried: <What translations> ESV for casual reading. For study I access the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek via interlinear English/Greek Bible and interlinear English/Hebrew-Aramaic Bible. <Earth and heaven flee away> "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)...

"Holy Spirit" is intelligence without bodily form (hard for us to imagine).

IMO: Behold noted: <God also caused you to break the Law...God would be insane> If you wrote a story, with characters that broke the law, would you be insane? Of course not, it's your story. We are all God's story. Genesis 1:2 says: "In the beginning God crested the heavens and earth." John...

Hebrews 12:6 μαστιγοω (mastigo) is literally "scourge," metaphorically "discipline."

IMO: o. All living things have bodies. o. Soul = intelligence. o. Spirit = communion with God. o. A tree has a body. o. A cat has a body and a soul. o. A person has a body, soul, spirit. o. The human race has lost its communion with God. o. Communion with God will be restored...

NASB, for parallel English-Greek NIV Interlinear Old Testament (Hebrew--English) ESV Bible for reading <Heaven and earth fled away> Sin corrupts the sinner and *everything* associated with him, hence new heavens and new earth after the millennium--old heavens and earth disappear (Revelation...

NotTheRock noted: <the Lord will not cast off forever, the banished one will not remain an outcast> The context there is Israel. The bad news is that (according to the Bible) the majority of people who have ever lived will spend 1000 years minimum in hell, solitary confinement (Matthew...

NotTheRock noted: <not cast off forever> IMO: That refers to Israelites ("daughter of Zion," Lamentations 2:1), and it has already been fulfilled, Israelites are back in the land: o. "Can a nation be born in a day" (Isaiah 66:8) o. "I will bring you back" (Jeremiah 29:14). Un-regenerates go...

The title of this thread is "seventieth week" and IMO that is a bit misleading. "Seven weeks" (Daniel 9:24) is Hebrew שבעים שבעים = "Seventy sevens." The Hebrew months are 29 or 30 days, the idea being that 12 months will mark one revolution of the earth around the sun (i.e. one year). One...

Covenantee noted: <Last-will-and-testament.> One webpage notes: "In Christian theology the "testament" refers to God's covenant or promise given to Jesus." In this regard, the Bible says: For God (the Father) so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in...

IMO: Believers are a temple, in the sense that the Spirit of God dwells in them. In the future God-become-man (i.e. Jesus) will dwell among men (Revelation 21:3). No more need for a temple, when God Himself dwells among men (Revelation 21:22).

A will is a will, a testament is a testament, a last-will-and-testament is a will whose validity is affirmed by testatators.

The seven feasts of Israel indicate seven acts of the Messiah: 1. Passover "as a lamb to the slaughter" (Isaiah 53:7) 2. Unleavened bread "he had done no violence" (Isaiah 53:9) 3. First Fruits "not permit holy one to decay" (Psalm 16:10) 4. Pentecost "pour out my Spirit on all flesh" (Joel...

Marty Fox cited: <it's what the Bible said> The Bible indicates that everyone dies, it does not indicate that Enoch and Elijah have died yet. But they will, see Revelation 11:3-13, God's two faithful soldiers.
