I want to ask you about Luke 21:24. It has been in my thoughts as of late. Has the time of the gentiles already ended or not? You could argue yes because Jews are back in the land, or you could argue no because they don't control the temple mount yet, Jordan does.

I believed in the pre-trib rapture when I got saved, it played a big part in me getting saved. Then I left that teaching for a while and have since returned to my first love so to speak.

It happened with Antiochus before Jesus and it happened after Jesus' resurrection when the Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem: Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. They were scattered and now we are living in the times...

But if you have noticed, the trampling did not stop at AD70. It has continued on for centuries. I cosign on the switch to the new covenant.

Alright so when is the times of the gentiles fulfilled? It says the Jews are scattered UNTIL that time occurs. Isn't it occuring now when they are returning? Or maybe it is talking about the second coming, the ultimate regathering of all God's people.

BEFORE AD70? But its talking about what happened after AD70, when the Jews were led away captive at that point right?

Got you. Being that Ezekiel got this prophecy in Babylon makes sense that Ezekiel 36 is talking about the gathering from Babylon. Why would he skip the babylonian captivity and go thousands of years in advance? What does this do to the current regathering of Israel? Is it a fulfillment of...

Not arguing but asking: Where is the proof that it is about the babylonian captivity?

There are no faithful nations. There has never been. You can say Israel in the past but look what happened to them?

We aren't here to preserve political nations or empires. Think about what you are saying. Jesus said this during the pagan Roman Empire. The strongest 1st century Christians weren't in it to preserve the Roman Empire or even change it. We are to call people out of it, out of the world and into...

Islam is going to take over Europe that is for certain. Nothing can stop it as the europeans want open borders and the birth rates are abysmally low. What changed since 1948? The state of Israel and the expulsion of the Arab population in the land. They say it belongs to them, the Jews say...

It is not necessary. The apostles quoted the septuagint which was a greek translation of the Tanakh. They quoted it as the word of God and it can be proven they quoted the septuagint in particular because of the quotes in Hebrews which do not match the masoretic readings but do match the...

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” These two go hand in hand, you cannot resist the devil and fight him if you aren't submitting to God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is...

Can you give some examples of these?

Dispensational heresy served on a plate of confusion. Very serious as this seems to be a hyper-dispensationalist view. You just said the Church is without covenant... That means you are not saved if you aren't in covenant with God. The Bible teaches, not read through the dispensational...

The whole earth does not necessarily mean the entire planet in the Bible, the third kingdom in Daniel 2 is also said to rule the entire earth, and Greece never did. Just like "all the nations" in the Bible usually means the nations around Israel. "Far north" means areas around Turkey.

How do you interpret the book of Revelation and Daniel then? So many specifics and time measurements. That is why I am on the fence. I sympathize with open theism but at the moment I do believe God knows the future exhaustively.

Synergy is actually used in the Bible. The word monergism never is. If monergism were true, universalism would follow since God wants everyone to be saved and Jesus died for all. What does that mean? Synergism is the truth. This is why Paul says Be ye reconciled but also warns us not to...

I thought the first resurrection is for the saved and the second is for the lost?

What about those who seek and convert to Islam? Buddhism?
