    End of Days

    There is no point in locking Satan into the Abyss for 1,000 years if he's immediately judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire at the time of Jesus' return. What's become clear to me is that the Bible's mention of the seed of Abraham was supposed to be both literal and spiritual. When Jesus...

    End of Days

    There you go being disingenuous again. Those verses in Matthew 24:21-22 do not say that "no flesh would be saved". It says that no flesh would be saved IF Jesus didn't cut the Great Tribulation short, but He does. And again, Revelation 20 shows you that the Great White Throne Judgement...

    End of Days

    Except I already showed you where the Bible says there will be people who survive the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24:21-22. Matthew 24:21-22 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those...

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    By the way, "Firstfruits" and "Remnant" are ALWAYS terms used for ethnic Israel in the Bible. So, they ARE a subset and for good reason. The Great Tribulation is geared entirely around them.

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    That doesn't make sense to me. You think there's only going to be 144,000 living Christians before the Great Tribulation starts? I thought you didn't believe in a pre-trib or mid-trib rapture?

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    You say that the list showing 12,000 each from the 12 tribes of Israel that make up the SEALED 144.000 just identifies a role. What role exactly would that be?

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    I disagree with you on the purpose of the sealing of the 144,000... "The sealing of the 144,000 in Revelation 7 specifically exempts them from the direct effects of God’s wrath and divine judgments during the tribulation. An angel commands four angels to hold back the destructive "winds" of...

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    Isn't labeling the 144,000 as simple "bond servants" a little deceiving? Revelation 7 tells us who the 144,000 are: 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of...

    A must see....lets prepare saints.

    Personally, I think Trump, like all the Presidents before him have absolutely no idea what they're dealing with when it comes to negotiating anything with Muslim nations. They are quickly finding out by negotiating with Iran. Iran says they'll negotiate and then they turn around the next day...

    A must see....lets prepare saints.

    I'm not sure how old you are or exactly how much you know about Islam and how each Arab nation practices it, but the Islamic nations have been at war with each other forever because of their Sunni & Shiite differences. They'll kill each other one day and then come together for a brief moment to...

    A must see....lets prepare saints.

    Like most of us, Iranian Muslims don't care for the radical style of Islam that the regime lives by. But like you, I know that they're not going to convert to Christianity either. I thought maybe you were talking about institutions like Catholic Charities that gets paid money by our government...

    Did I miss something in the news? Who within our government is trying to coerce Iranians or their nation into becoming Christian?

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    Don't all A.I. systems do that? That's why I usually, although I didn't in this case, tell it to give me "Bible answers only" so that it only searches through the scriptures themselves to give me answers that scriptures back up itself.

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    Here's the answer my Brave Search Assistant gave me: I didn't operate from a single named theological system. I worked from the immediate textual context — the Greek verb, the Noah/Lot analogies, the vulture/corpse imagery, and the parallel passages — and let the text drive the conclusion. That...

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    That pretty much summarizes my entire post. When you read all of Matthew 24, it's clear that the ones who need to worry about being "taken" are the ones who ARE NOT watching for Jesus' return and He will arrive at an hour UNKNOWN TO THEM because they weren't paying attention or watching and...

    The Church, and Israel and the Last Days.

    I'm not sure why you keep using Matthew 24 as a reference because it refutes your view. Let's pick apart how A.I. describes these differences in interpretations and see if there's even a precise answer to it: Key Distinctions Contextual Analogy: The judgment view relies on the immediate...

    How do we testify to this word of the Lord?

    You don't believe in the Trinity of God? While there is only one throne in Heaven, Revelation 22:1 & 3 shows you that Jesus sits on the throne as the "Lamb". Revelation 1:8 & 18 shows you that Jesus IS the Alpha & Omega. Zechariah 14:9 shows us that when Jesus returns to earth, everyone will...

    End of Days

    1) Yes, I believe that the Millennium Kingdom happens (after the Sheep & Goat Judgement) on the current earth because there will be earthly people who survive the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22) and who will continue living, dying, and repopulating during the 1,000 year time of peace...

    End of Days

    Personally, I believe 2 Peter 3 is showing us another instance of "Prophetic Telescoping" or a dual and different fulfillment of things to come (as we discussed in another thread). I think a better argument you could have used to support your view would have been to point us back to 2 Peter...

    End of Days

    2 Peter 3:5-7 is absolutely describing the primordial chaos of the world before it was formed. There is no mention of Noah or the flood in this chapter. It mentions the heavens being of old, which dates back to before Noah. Once the earthly Millennial Kingdom reign is over and the Heaven is...
