You need to consider your own words before claiming Jesus didn't fulfill prophesy in the same way.
Where did I claim that "Jesus didn't fulfill prophesy in the same way"?

If you go back and read what I submitted at Post #384, I specifically pointed out how accurately, how precisely the Lord Jesus Christ handled the Word of God and I cautioned that we need to follow His example and do the same in our handling of Scripture.

If, in your mind, that equates to "claiming Jesus didn't fulfill prophesy in the same way", that is your misunderstanding of the point and I again caution you to not be careless in your handling of the precious Word of God.

What is your intent, Dave-L?

Do you have any interest in coming to a more accurate understanding of the Word of God?

How do we handle the Word of God? Are we sloppy in our interpretation of what is written? Are we teaching the Word of God as Jesus, Who is our Example, did? Or are we mouthing the words of men who were not as careful in their handling of the Word of God?
I think the idea of following an example can get confused. Like for instance when we look as the Son of man, Jesus we know he mouthed the words of the father and not that of his own after the flesh. He gave glory to God not seen . Teaching us not to glory in the temporal . This is not heaven.

Mankind has a lifetime of the suffering of hell, the wage of sin .The same wrath we experience today that was revealed to Cain when the wage was increased the father of lie tried to bargain with God and said hell was to much to bear.
Genesis 4:


11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.


Cain told God his punishment ... not "hell" ... was too much to bear because "every one that finds me shall slay me" ... interesting that he didn't want what he did to Abel to happen to him.




garee said:
Abel found the sabbath rest. Christ bore his sin.

I think we can understand the sufferings of natural unconverted mankind they have no rest in their work of suffering.. We to before we are given a new born again spirit had no sabbath rest.

Yoked with Christ the burden is lighter.
"sufferings of natural unconverted mankind" ... yes "sufferings"

However, "no rest in their work of suffering" does not equal hell. Hell will be eternal separation from God.

In this lifetime, even the unbeliever is surrounded by God's goodness ... God makes the sun to shine on all ... sends the rain to all. So even if a person is an unbeliever, that unbeliever is exposed to the goodness of God through His bountiful goodness upon all and through the believers who live in this world shining their lights upon all and showing God's love to all.

There will be a time when that will no longer be the case ... and there will be eternal separation from God. That is the "hell" to which I refer. You do not appear to be referring to that.

Having said that ... yes, in agreement concerning the sabbath rest found only in Christ Jesus our Lord ... His burden is light, His yoke is easy.

I would be careful with that kind of idea. Seven as a seal is used as a metaphor. Just as mountains as denominations of this world. Seven Kings, seven Kingdoms. (no sign is given)

Revelation 11:15 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.
Dave-L is answering my question, which was directed specifically to him. Why must his response be questioned?

Thousand years represents a unknown we walk by faith.

The day of the Lord. The last day.

he phrase last day is used in John 6 times .it inform us the day in the winkling of the eye Cast the bock of the law as to the letter along with its sufferings into the fire of Gods judgment. it will not rise and condemn to death through corruption ever again .the same twinkling of the eye the saints receive the propmised of the new incorruptible bodies .They will arise out of their sleep on the last day and meet those that were reigning with the gospel ,in the same twinkling of the eye .

No six days needed to create the end .It will come like a thief in the night.

John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
I fully agree that the future resurrection of all takes place on the last day, at the return of Jesus Christ.

go ahead @Dave-L ... sleep away ... avoid the issues ...



1 Thessalonians 5:


6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

Reading your responses it appears you deny a literal he'll and fire in torment for the wicked?
No, this earth set on fire will be hell.............where would you assume hell is ?

Jesus refuted millennialism. So it happens as Peter and Jesus say.
Look, I stopped replying to you on other sites long ago, when I literally disagree with someone 100 percent of the time, it just wastes both of our times tbh. I was just highlighting to other WHY you guys think that way, and as usual, its because you allow singular passages to move you far outside the actual scope of the meaning of the verse in general by not doing what God says, LINE UPON LINE, PRECEPT UPN PRECEPT, HERE A LITTLE, THERE A LITTLE.

The DOTL starts with an asteroid impact and carries on for 1000 years PLUS the 3.5 years of Wrath, then we go to the New Jerusalem.

The Wheat will grow together with the Wicked tares to the end. That is why in the Rev 14 {Harvest Chapter} we see three different Harvests. The Jews and Tares are on earth when Jesus returns at the VERY END, Thus the 144,000 are ALL Israel [who repented], its a metaphoric number for All Israel. We see the Jews gathered with Jesus, in verses 18-20 we see the Wicked tares BUNDLED UP {killed and placed in the grave but not judged yet} to be judged in 1000 years at the Second Death. So the Wheat and the Tares grow together to the end. The Church is shown in verse 14 with Jesus on a cloud talking them out in a sorta SOLILOQUY, and thus the Church has Jews in it but the Jews are told in Daniel 12 that they will stand in their lot at the very end.

So, you allowing a phrase THE LAST DAY, to overcome all the rest of scriptures, to mandate that everything happens in ONE DAY just doesn't jibe with scriptures brother. Its why we have to understand God's TIMING on everything. The Jews were chosen by God via FAITH {AAbraham believed} and rejected because they served the Law instead of God, they were so blind they couldn't see the express image of God in Jesus Christ. God then rejected the Jews IN PART, I used to think this meant God rejected all Jews but a few, I now understand it never meant any such thing, God rejects NO Jews, He allows all men to come unto him by Christ Jesus his son and never rejects anyone, the IN PART means as a Nation, thus God rejected Israel as a cohesive nation, he would not use them henceforth to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the whole earth,. instead he turned to the Gentiles, that is what Roman's chapters 9-11 is all about. Paul is saying, can not God {Potters Wheel} choose whom He so pleases? He chose Esau the ELDER to serve Jacob the YOUNGER. Likewise, He has chosen the Gentiles over the Jews to carry the Gospel to the ends of the world.

Then, after the Rapture, during the 70th week, God calls Israel to repentance, we see in Zechariah 13:8-9 that 1/3 repent and 2/3 perish, then the Day of the Lord arrives in Zechariah 14:1-2 and in verses 3and 4 we see Jesus' Second Coming. So it's very important to understand the whole of the biblical story. I haven't even bothered looking at the "LAST DAY" reference in many, many years. because I realize it doesn't even matter nor equate, the Jews and the Church are DIFFERENT ENTITIES, and until one can grasp that key point of emphasis, they are not going to be able to figure all these passages out, IMHO.

We know the Day of the Lord starts with the asteroid plunging into the earth, we know the Judgments don't all come to pass in one day, we know that Apollyon is released from the pit and harms men for FIVE MONTHS. Taking one passage and running with it is just not the way we are told to study the Bible brother, especially eschatology.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 22:1-5KJV
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

You claim I "espouse the false teaching of 7th day Adventist and JW's". I am wholly unfamiliar with the teaching of 7th day Adventist and JW teaching.

Are those who are cast into the "eternal lake of fire in torment" separated from God???

Yes or no?

You are in error, the bible teaches of the Rapture of those DEAD in Christ, go look up those words DEAD IN CHRIST.......They are there. Then Daniel and those Jews will be raised on the LAST DAY.

12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 22:1-5KJV
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner offruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

1 Corinthians 15:52KJV
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This is incorrect, the scriptures do not have Jesus returning in Zechariah 14:1-2, that is a misdiagnosis by you.

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

So 1/3 of the Jews repent {which would be more like 2 Million people at least} and 2/3 refuse and thus perish.

DAY OF THE LORD
Zechariah 14:1
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Second Coming/Jesus' Victory
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

So Israel REPENTS BEFORE the Day of the Lord, just like Malachi 4:5-6 says, we see that they repent in Zechariah 12:10 {we know that one so I didn't post it, Zechariah 13:8-9, and THEN the DOTL Arrives in Zechariah 14:1-2 with the Anti-Christ coming against Jerusalem. Then 3.5 years later, of course, Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives and he will then defeat all evil.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful DAY of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Look at it this way, I'm an Amillennial Calvinist just doing my job on a take it or leave it basis.
Calvinist are also in error on their pre-ordained position.

We are all PRE ORDAINED by the blood of Jesus, some just refuse to accept it. God doesn't pick and choose who comes to him.

If Christ saves you, you want nothing more than him. But you turn up your nose and consider if you want anything to do with him? The creator of the universe who remains impotent unless you "allow" him to audition for the role of savior?

We should always aim for consistency. And not hold to double standards.
1 Corinthians 3


11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss ...
