    Textural warrant for AD70 in Revelation was given. The AD95 theory comes from sources outside the Bible. John 18:36 is understood rightly as far as I know at this time. Satan "bound"does not mean disabled, it means limited to allow the gospel to reach all nations. A dog that is tethered can bite...

    From chronology of the war according to Josephus 7: "There were many false prophets at the time, says Josephus, yet people had not paid attention to the genuine signs of destruction: a star resembling a sword standing over the city, a comet, a brilliant light around the altar, a vision of armed...

    Jesus also speaks a similar manner when he is on trial before the high priest. Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. This is after His...

    Mathew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Jesus is speaking to His disciples who are standing in front of Him! When will dispensationalists ever give us a reasonable explanation of this...

    Jesus says this to the 11 remaining disciples after He is risen. Before the Aborigines of Australia heard the gospel the apostles were long dead. The apostles did not disobey Jesus, they went as far as He enabled them. When we read "there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of...

    If this is not the fulfillment of Abraham's covenant promises to the children of Jacob, then who has a better one to offer? You can't build a kingdom with someone who still wants the attention of the village.

    But Jesus also sent the Apostles. So what is your point?

    Replacement theology? Yes or No.

    "Out of every nation." Get it? They brought the gospel to other nations. Anyway for what it is worth I think both of us were wrong about your Zechariah passages. I commented on them without even reading their context, and you put them into the future land of flexibility. I think Zechariah...

    Replacement theology? Yes or No.

    No problem. I like to look at what others have thought about a passage before making up my mind. Putting the fulfillment into the future is easy, because it allows a lot of flexibility, but if we find that an old prophesy has come to pass after it was spoken, that is a powerful testimony for...

    Replacement theology? Yes or No.

    No I do not think that. We all understand that the gospel reached the other nations quickly. The 3000 converted Jewish men in Acts 2 would have have helped with that, because although they were converted in Jerusalem, they lived in many different countries. No doubt they also had families...

    "The new earths are somewhat like what we have become as Christians" That is an interesting thought. I think of those animals going full vegan in Isaiah 11 and see parallels to that in the early church, but trying to compare it to what I have seen in the professing Christian church of our time...

    Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come I hope I am not popping any bubbles, but "all nations" were also in Jerusalem. Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of...

    Here are some of your "unassailable (you forgot to say "infallible") facts": Pre trib rapture, 7 year trib, spiritual rebirth of earthly Israel, rebuilt 3d temple with animal sacrifices, 1000 year reign of Christ come back to earth and world dominating Antichrist. I have questioned every one...

    Actually there is a huge difference between Israel under Messiah and all the other situations Israel has been in. The whole time they were under the covenant of Moses. The covenant of Moses, on which the political entity depended, is now fulfilled in Jesus. For the rest of us, including the...

    But you really need to be honest with us and tell us when you are using another source that is not yourself. You would have good reason not to appreciate it if I was to just paste Mathew Henry's commentary to you and claim it as my own. Also Zechariah has a lot of historical context that must...

    I might have missed some of your posts. I have only noticed one new heaven and new earth in the Bible, but in your understanding it would be the first one that gets cooked wouldn't it? Sorry if I am making you repeat yourself. I was just thinking that any restoration that might occur in a...

    Was that response really your own? It seemed to me that your machine friend (or you if it was you) does not yet have the amillennial concept in it's program. To us the kingdom is present and heavenly, not future and earthly. It does not seem to grasp the concept of metaphor, which is present in...

    The format of your response sounds very much like you fed my previous post into ai and just pasted the ai response.
