Ignore them. You have shared more than enough for any honest person seeking to know the truth to then examine for themself. We have no obligation to "convince" anyone. You have correctly pointed out that they do not address the Biblical issues raised, so who cares what their opinion is. And if they want to hurl insults that is between them and the Lord.

Looks like he's OK. Whew! That was a close one!

The lego vid (by Iran?) has him retreating through the sewer with the rats. Probably a more accurate account than you'll get elsewhere.

7 DANGEROUS Signs of Demonic Influence in People Close to You (Biblical Warning)

This is the way I feel when I encounter dispensational teachings of modern day pharisees who produce divided minds and impure hearts by diverting attention away from Christ onto worldly things, eg, land, temple made with hands, etc. One cannot follow God and worldly things

A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8

Draw near to GOD, and he will be drawing near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded ones. James 4:8
 
i have discovered dispensationalists are really closet Calvinists, an inversion of sorts... God keeps certain people blind and condemned for millennia.

Somehow "a few" sneak in it seems, but the rest are kept blind until irresistible grace and unconditional election can occur, I guess all this to magnify god.

This is really an astute observation
 
Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

This is why Genesis ends with Joseph, the seed of Israel ruling and reigning over Egypt (a type of the world) with a Gentile bride (signifying the church). This is why Joseph was given the name Zaph Naph Paaneah (ZNP), which means Savior of the World. He is a type of Christ. However, the promise was spoken to Joseph in his dreams and also to Israel. Both were saved, both came out of Egypt.

Again, Jesus doesn't have a bride until the resurrection, so he is not currently married to a "gentile bride" as the Christian neo-pharisees claim. And that bride will be all Israel, ie, the Israel of God

Concerning ZNP:

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Zaphnath-paaneah - The meaning of this title is as little known as that of abrech in the preceding verse. Some translate it, The revealer of secrets; others, The treasury of glorious comfort. St. Jerome translates the whole verse in the most arbitrary manner. Vertitque nomen ejus, et vocavit eum, lingua Aegyptiaca, Salvatorem mundi. “And he changed his name, and called him in the Egyptian language, The savior of the world.” None of the Asiatic versions acknowledge this extraordinary gloss, and it is certainly worthy of no regard.

John Gill's Commentary
And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah,.... Which, according to the paraphrase of Onkelos, signifies one to whom hidden things are revealed; or, as Jonathan, a revealer of secrets; and so most of the Jewish writers explain it; and which seems to be given him from his interpreting Pharaoh's dreams, and revealing what was hereafter to come to pass. The word is only used in this place, at least the latter part of it and Aben Ezra confesses his ignorance of it, whether it is an Egyptian word or not; Kircher (a) most asserts it, and says it signifies a prophet (or foreteller) of future things. Though some think the first part of the name has some respect to the Egyptian idol Baal Zephon, Exo 14:2, and that, in this new name Pharaoh gave Joseph upon his promotion, he inserted the name of his god, as Nebuchadnezzar, when he gave new names to Daniel and his comparisons, Dan 1:7,
 
This is really an astute observation
Please observe and recognize your error....
The "who" are the Greater Josephs brothers the Sons of Jacob. The when is the Great Tribulation.

Luk 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your (who's?) redemption draweth nigh.

These things.....

Luk 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luk 21:26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Luk 21:27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
 
BLB Note: A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names by J.B. Jackson Copyright 1909 contains this meaning for Zaphnath-paaneah. The BDB states, "the god speaks and he lives"; Gesenius states the Egyptian meanings of "salvation" or "savior of the age"; Hebrew meaning of "revealer of a secret."

Nobody has said that Jesus has married His bride at this point.

Rather, at this point, the Bride has ACCEPTED the cup of BETROTHAL (Kos HaBrit).
She has now been immersed and is sanctifying herself and is now in a waiting period, the "mikveh/kallah".
She awaits her "harpazo/shofar" where the Groom may come at any time (but the approximate season is known).
Then the "chuppah" 7 day (7 year) honeymoon at the Fathers house where the marriage is consummated.

Then comes the actual MARRIAGE SUPPER. After the 7 year honeymoon in heaven, tribulation on earth.

************************************************************

2Co 11:2
For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Rev 19:9
Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!' ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

*************************************************************

As anyone can see, you are hopelessly and willfully ignorant of these critical matters.

Jamieson--Fausset--Brown Bible commentary

45. Zaphnath-paaneah—variously interpreted, "revealer of secrets"; "saviour of the land"; and from the hieroglyphics, "a wise man fleeing from pollution"—that is, adultery.

I could not imagine a greater folly than to mock prophecy.

Wow, how can you be this ignorant? Mary was betrothed to Joseph, in the ancient custom they considered being engaged being betrothed.

Shortly after Jesus' resurrection was Pentecost, that was the church's betrothal to Jesus. When Joseph is raised up out of the prison, that depicts resurrection. When he is made Prime Minister, that depicts ascension to the throne. Shortly after the Lord's ascension was Pentecost when Jesus was betrothed to the church and shortly after Joseph ascended to the throne as Prime Minister he was given his gentile wife.

Mockers will mock. When destruction comes they will claim that God never warned them. Prior to the judgment they keep trying to put a time frame on it so they can "debunk" the prophecy. After the Pandemic, in 2021, they tried to say "see, nothing happened". Then after 2024 when Hamas and the Psalm 83 war came to an end it was "see, nothing happened". Now we are seeing Jeremiah 49 and the start of Ezekiel 38 and they want to claim the other prophecies have "expired" and so you can't point to them as being fulfilled. In the end they will be without excuse.

I absolutely trust all the words of Christ Jesus and the writers of the NT and the first audience to receive the message and to whom it was written because it was happening in their time not ours.

1 Peter 4:7 (NRSV): "The end of all things is near."
1 John 2:18 (NRSV): "Children, it is the last hour."
