Nowhere does the Bible say that the Church is the "Bride of Christ" . -- Eph.5:25-27 Is a favourite to establish that view. This however is taking those verses out of context. The whole chapter is a series of examples. - The purity of a virgin bride is here used as an example of the Church as...

From KJV. Revelation 21: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3...

The Bride of Christ as such is only mentioned once in the Bible (Revelation) and there is identified as "The New Jerusalem" , So neither Jew nor Christian can exclusively claim to be The Bride. Both however will be in The New Jerusalem where Jesus reigns and both then be recognised as His...

It seems to me that people are making so many human divisions about sin whereas God appears to make just two and I do not think we have the right to make further division. 1 Jn 5: 16-17: If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for...

I can-not quite get what ewq1938 is trying to say but I fully agree with Montana. The whole of the prophecy is about succeeding kingdoms. The prophecies are quite clear that they are speaking of both the Kings (Rulers) and their Kingdoms. Medo-Persia was broken into 4 kingdoms by Alexander. Then...

Well said Montana.

This is just a brief look at Rev.13 I would like to know what others think. Verses 1 & 2, Obviously refers to Rome – Situated on 7 Hills. 1st Beast = Comes forth Out of Sea. Religious & Political. Has always had World - wide power and influence in both fields. Power gained...

Rev. 16 : 17-21 Shows that after the Lord's return when he destroys Israels enemies at the end of the Battle of Armageddon there will be the greatest earthquake ever and Israel will be split at that time into three parts and the mountains will be flattened. No Temple will survive that. God's...

Helshere said - And yet he allowed the Roman army to destroy the Temple. God arranged for the destruction of all the Temples due to corruption and hypocrisy within them. A new Temple will be built in the early part of the Tribulation and in the middle of the Tribulation it will be led by The...

Greetings, You seem to have misunderstood what I was saying for I am in full agreement with all you have written here. - God Bless you.

Thank you for your reply. I am in full agreement with all the above texts, but none state that the Tree is Israel. Romans 11 clearly shows that Israel and all faithful believers before Jacob comprise the BRANCHES not the Tree. The branches are nourished by the ROOT Which represents God. So it...

Thank you. Romans 11. is indeed the closest Scriptures to saying that the Olive Tree represents Israel. However this is not what it says. Tradition makes that statement, not the Bible. Verse 17 makes it clear that it is faithful Israeli believers who are the BRANCHES not the Tree. In fact...

Yes we are definitely in the last days. Russia is already aligned with her allies as prophesied for her not to distant attack on Israel. -- Then in the middle of the Tribulation the Abomination of Desolation will be set up in the newly built Temple in Jerusalem. Personally, i think this will be...

I have never been able to find in Paul's writings or any other scriptures where it states that the Church is Spiritual Israel. - Can you please supply Scripture quotes (in context). Thank you.

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST We have people who adamantly claim that “The Bride of Christ” is the Church. We also have people who adamantly claim that “The Bride of Christ” is Israel. The Bride of Christ is only mentioned as such just once in the Scriptures and this shows that both of the above...

Ever since God named Jacob "Israel" Jews have always been and ever shall be God's chosen people. They were chosen to be an example and take God's message to the World. God made a Covenant with Israel for that purpose. God's Covenants can not be broken by Him but Israel broke it many times. He...

Ezek.33 11-1 3 “Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?' "Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your...

The problem is , you are looking at Old Testament issues when God was dealing with the overthrow of evil nations and instilling discipline into Israel. We are now in a New Dispensation/ Testament/ The Law of Love and Grace. We now live under the new laws given by God through Paul. So the Old...

I agree there will be a Rapture, but all the verses you have used speak of the Second Coming when Jesus feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. The event we call the rapture happens 7 years before that.

I believe the present ( very non Christian) Pope is preparing the way for the False prophet who i believe will be the next Pope.
