Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3: These parallel passages describe nations beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, stating that "nation will not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Isaiah 9:6-7: This passage highlights that the increase of Christ’s...

The context of 1 Peter 3:19 and 1 Peter 4:6 shows that Jesus went and preached to those who died in the flood during the days of Noah because they refused to listen to God and that God had waited the entire time that it took Noah to build the ark (which was 120 years) for them to change their...

God/Jesus has always had ways of revealing Himself to people before his human incarnation on earth, like Abraham. Abraham was considered saved by his level of righteousness. In 1 Corinthians 10:3-4 it shows us that Jesus was the one who led Moses and the people of his time through the desert...

I thought we already had this discussion when I mentioned Acts 1:6-7? Just because Paul wrote the majority of the New Testament doesn't mean that most of the Disciples didn't believe in a restored kingdom to Israel. John didn't even write the book of Revelation until around 95 AD to reveal...

In my opinion, yes, anyone who rejects Christ would be considered a non-believer. Jesus made it clear that if you didn't recognize Him as the Savior, then you never really knew His Father either. Yes, Satan is still on earth in battle. It's just a matter of time before God allows him to lead...

It's my understanding that "the rest of the dead" are unbelievers who are only resurrected for the sake of judgement before they are thrown into the Lake of Fire with Satan, the Beast, and the False Prophet. The only thing the Bible mentions is that Satan will gather earthly armies from all...

LOL! You and I both know that A.I. doesn't know everything. There is no such thing as answers without world system influence because all A.I. has been programmed by people with world system influences. It's funny that you bring this up though, because I was just looking up something similar...

It doesn't matter what you believe ONLY the New Testament says, even though it mentions the 1,000 years in Revelation 20. That's WHY we have the Old Testament & New Testament given together as a WHOLE. You have to take ALL of it together in context. While God/Jesus has already proven Himself...

I think you're forgetting that the reason total fulfillment of the historical scriptures hasn't happened yet is because God/Jesus uses the complete fulfillment of all that's been written to prove to them (and to us) that He is God and that we all share the same ONE. Jesus will use all of this...

I think you're just making excuses for why not to answer my original post and questions to begin with, so I doubt that I'll ever see a response from you anyway.

Yes, but that still doesn't describe the full events as I see them. These aren't just one time events that happen literally once and then immediately happen spiritually. In my opinion, Ezekiel 37 is yet ANOTHER example of history repeating itself before the full spiritual meaning sets in...

When I consulted my Brave Search Assistance about this, here is what it tells me: The principle is: the NT authors treat OT events as having a "forward-looking" dimension built into them by God's design. The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 really did point to Israel's national restoration (the...

The more I study the Bible, the more I come to the realization (even if it's only my own realization) that the same text has many meanings and I read them in a way in which they have both a literal AND a spiritual meaning behind them.

If we both want to be totally honest with ourselves, there is no way to completely remove bias from our ability to read scripture and how we read it. We're all different in how we perceive things because we were created that way. We were meant to see and experience things differently. I have...

Here's the thing though, Jesus isn't only hiding the revelation of Jesus from the Jews. In the New Testament, he's hiding from some Christians, the revelation of Jesus as the God of the Old Testament. I believe the reason is due to the ability for God to fulfill all of His plans in Zechariah...

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you here. I've seen your introduction post and I see that you are a teacher of the New Testament, but I think it's hindering your ability to spend more time and study in the Old Testament to really dig deeper into how and why the O.T. and N.T. fit together...

I accidentally left out why I believe both the Old & New Testaments are equally important and I think it shows why Jews believe the way they do and New Testament Christians believe what they do... Jesus IS the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament; the Alpha & Omega in Isaiah 44:6...

I disagree and the reason I do is because of the fact that there's a Millennial Kingdom at all. If the kingdom was already inaugurated, there would be no need to even mention a period of 1,000 years of peace on earth or Jesus reigning from Jerusalem and even referring to Heaven as the New...

I guess I've always viewed this a little bit differently. I've always believed that "all Israel will be saved" included believing Jews, Gentiles, and the land of Israel itself for the purpose of the Millennial Kingdom period before the New Jerusalem made our relationship together as permanent...

Did I miss something? I thought Ezekiel 37 was all about reuniting all of the 12 tribes of Israel to bring the "whole house of Israel" back together again. It specifically talks about reuniting the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel.
