The consistent literal method of interpretation used by dispensationalism is seriously flawed.

Please realize this is apocalyptic language—derived from the Greek apokalypsis meaning "unveiling" or "revelation"
Egypt coming to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts and to keep the feast of Tabernacles is apocalyptic language?
Or simply statements of fact that have yet to come to pass?

Did you need more of the same? I can provide hundreds of similar examples.

Amazing people think this is funny...

if this war continues it will cause famine in developing countries, fuel shortages, stagflation, global depression and constraints on medical care.

It will be really hilarious when that brings on mass migration to the countries which have food.
Aaahhhhh, all of that sounds suspiciously end-timeish to me.
Including the iron mixed with miry clay citation.

Not to mention a literal Nation Israel with literal Israelites fighting literal wars to establish themselves.
What did you think? That this was a bizarre coincidence? Or perhaps you think it is the work of the devil?

At some point in history, Egypt came to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts and to keep the feast of Tabernacles you say?

Not to my knowledge. Or anyone else on planet Earth either.

You think in the future the people of Egypt will go to Jerusalem and keep the Feast of the Tabernacles?

So then basically you asserting Jesus is not the embodiment/fulfillment that which was fading?

Once again this fits in completely with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the remnant>> spiritual Jerusalem/Israel and their protection against its enemies, not about a future millennium.

You read all these passages in literal sense without really grasping what is meant by idiomatic terms like" heaven and earth" and and the prophecy being given through figurative language like when God's/ Yahweh's feet stood on the Mount of Olives within the context of the entire chapter.

Please employ your literalistic hermeneutic to John the Baptist when he is quoting Isaiah,

Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth;
Isaiah 40:4

Did John the Baptist change the landscape?

@ChristRoseFromTheDead is indeed correct with his rebuke, I am horrified at this doctrine that denies the finished work of Christ Jesus.

No it is the bad consequence of bad hermeneutics sold to the churches via Scofield and his ilk and the fake Christians with power/money /influence who are making it happen.
 
you'll see. soon the mountains will clap.

but seriously, it is so flawed it is borderline dangerous. i thank God they are not consistent, cause if they were this is still not fulfilled literally:

Isaiah 40:3-4 A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.

a literalist could say, when did this ever happen, when was every valley lifted up and every mountain made low`? these are real topographical changes. this hasnt happened yet. this is exactly how they treat all the sun shall be darkened verses.

its frustrating but i feel if you dont get it, you just wont. is it false teaching or just being a western thinker or what is the issue?

Funny I just used the same example from Isaiah.
Love it. :)

Gas seems to go up to $4.10 Friday through Monday, then $3.85 Tuesday through Thursday here. If you get off the tourist's trails, it stays around $3.85.
 
Your Iran is a daisy field only in your mind.

7000+ protesters killed in Iran and verified ......Killed by the Iranian regime......Thousands more to be revealed.

Get your head out of the sand.

They've murdered people all over the world, they're terrorist. These people that are on Tucker Carlson and Candice Cameron, they should all be sent to live in Iran for a decade. See what the opinion is then.

That's good to know.
Location seems to make a big difference like timing.
A nearby city charges around 20¢ more than the towns down the interstate.

So Zechariah chapters 8-14, Ezekiel chapters 40-48, and a huge chunk of Isaiah and an absolute massive quantity of other prophets are no bueno as far as you are concerned........because of your inscrutable nondescript vague notions of "Jesus"?

That's it? That's your supporting proposition?

So then tell us:
-is there a Second Coming or not?
-who and what exactly is King Jesus reigning over?
-who and what is being governed?
-why is Christ the Greater David and Greater Solomon?
-where does the 3-1/2 years, 42 months and 1260 days (repeated many times) fit in to your model?
-why has the Kinsman Redeemer Messiah not ALREADY returned if, as you say, the 70th week of Daniel is ancient history?

I just had to give @ChristRoseFromTheDead another migraine with this following information.
I hope the pain is manageable. I know......legit meaningful factual (not fantasy) Bible study gives many Christians today the vapors.

Sorry fake sorry.

************************************************************************

The “millennial reign” (often understood as the future Messianic Kingdom / restored peace on earth) is not described in one single section of Isaiah, but it’s spread across several key prophetic passages.


Here are the major Isaiah chapters most associated with millennial kingdom themes:


Core “Millennial Kingdom” Chapters​


Isaiah 2


  • Nations streaming to God’s mountain
  • Universal peace (“they shall beat swords into plowshares”)
  • End of war imagery

Isaiah 11


  • The Messianic “Branch” (peaceful reign of Christ figure)
  • Wolf and lamb imagery (creation restored)
  • Earth filled with knowledge of God

Isaiah 24–27 (Isaiah Apocalypse)


  • Judgment of the current world order
  • Establishment of God’s reign over all nations
  • Resurrection language (esp. Isa 26:19)
  • Final victory over death (Isa 25:8)

Isaiah 32


  • Righteous king and righteous rule
  • Spirit poured out, justice and peace established

Isaiah 35


  • Desert blooming (creation restoration)
  • Healing of the blind, deaf, lame
  • “Highway of holiness” imagery



Major Restoration / Kingdom Expansion Sections​


Isaiah 40–48


  • Comfort for Israel
  • God reigning over nations
  • End of exile themes (often read typologically)

Isaiah 49–55


  • Servant of the Lord brings global salvation
  • Nations drawn into covenant blessing



Peak “Millennial Glory” Chapters​


Isaiah 60


  • Zion glorified
  • Nations bringing wealth and honor
  • Light of God replacing sun/moon imagery

Isaiah 61


  • “Year of the Lord’s favor”
  • Rebuilding, restoration, reversal of shame

Isaiah 65–66 (very important)


  • New heavens and new earth imagery
  • Longevity, peace, agricultural blessing
  • “Wolf and lamb feed together”
  • Final judgment and global worship of God



Quick summary pattern​


If you want the cleanest “millennial picture” in Isaiah, focus on:


  • Isaiah 2, 11, 24–27, 35, 60, 65–66

That would be you.

The OT points to >>>>Christ Jesus Messiah

Then result of His arrival>>>> which is the salvation for the believing remnant who are part of the tree or grafted in while the other

branches were cut off and suffer judgement under the hands of the Romans

who ruled the known world at that time... yes you seem to miss the entire story because of this faulty hermeneutic and it's off spring dispensationalism.

Says the person who says the book of Revelation started 2000 years ago and continues to the present day.

No proof offered just wild inchoate speculation.

I got news for you: the 69 weeks was 173,880 days exactly to fulfillment.

Hey man, it's not me that's casting 1/3 or more of the Bible into the rubbish heap.

And BTW......it should be clear by now that I have all the right answers (and questions). Why is this the case? Because I am actually referring to the Bible on these matters. Without prejudice.

Wrong again.
I trust His words.

Matthew 5:18 (KJV), where he declares, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled".

Mat 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mat 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Luk 13:35
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
