The End of Times.

[jag1977]

No, we did not evolve and primates are not our ancestors...

Gen 1:21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Everything in the waters was created after it's kind.

Gen 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

God made all land creatures after their kind.

Now here comes the difference...

Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
Gen 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Man was created after the God kind. Our destiny is to become a member in the family of God.

So now you are really pushing your claim of faith. In the above scriptures you now claim that "after its kind" is a classification of species however you reject the very thing that proposed and defined classifications of species based on genetics, evolution! Why do I have to continue to battle through these arguments? Don't you understand that you are naming gods creation after your worldly experiences? After its kind is intended for clean spiritual interpretation, FEMININE AND MASCULINE. Let me instead of just giving you the fish (masculine/feminine), teach you how to fish (arrive at clean spiritual interpretation). APPLY EVERY INTERPRETATION AS IF IT WERE THE DAYS ADAM AND EVE KNEW THEM IN EDEN. Humanity stop defiling God's intentions with their own accounts. I mean really, when God arrives and suffers in the flesh to save them they still choose otherwise where else is help found for them? There is nothing left for them but to cast them into lake. If Jesus Christ can't save you, what else is there? I really appreciate your efforts and teachings but im sorry brother, I do not eat garbage. It's for the unclean.

Actually, it doesn't. The KJV English is not good in Rev 10:6, the NKJV puts it much better...

Rev 10:6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,

There is another verse a lot of people stumble on...

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

People have asked how 2000 years could equate to "shortly come to pass"? Truth is that it doesn't. This is not what this verse says. The word for shortly here is...

G5034
τάχος
tachos
takh'-os
From the same as G5036; a brief space (of time), that is, (with G1722 prefixed) in haste: - + quickly, + shortly, + speedily.

Rev 1:1 would better be rendered...

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which once they begin, must take place quickly. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,

John Gill beats around the bush but does say this...

to show unto his servant things which must shortly come to pass: the Arabic version adds, "in future ages"; things that were to be hereafter, the accomplishment of which was necessary, because of the certain and unalterable decree of God, the good of his people, and his own glory; and these were to come to pass quickly, in a very little time; not that they would all be fulfilled in a short space of time, for there are some things not fulfilled yet, though it is nineteen hundred years ago and more, since this revelation was made; and we are sure there are some things that will not be accomplished till a thousand years hence, and more, for the millennium is not yet begun; and after that is ended, there is to be a second resurrection, and a destruction of the Gog and Magog army; but the sense is, that these things should very quickly begin to be fulfilled, and from thenceforward go on fulfilling till all were accomplished. Now to show, to represent these things, in a clear manner, as the nature of them would admit of, to the servants of Christ, all true believers, read and hear and diligently observe them, and especially to the ministers of the Gospel, whose business is to search into them, and point them out to and particularly to his servant John, was this revelation made by Christ, who immediately answered this end:

That may sound good - and maybe even preach well - but, based on the Strongs definition - I don't think it is accurate...

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. ~ Revelation 22:6

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. ~ Revelation 22:7

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. ~ Revelation 22:10

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. ~ Revelation 22:12

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. ~ Revelation 22:20

...


Consider:

Strong's G1096 for "come to pass" in Revelation 1:1

1) to become, i.e. to come into existence, begin to be, receive being
2) to become, i.e. to come to pass, happen a) of events
3) to arise, appear in history, come upon the stage a) of men appearing in public
4) to be made, finished a) of miracles, to be performed, wrought
5) to become, be made

When I cannot find a specific definition tied to a particular usage - I generally use the first one, which is usually the most common usage. And, since most of these definitions carry with it the idea of "beginning and continuing" anyway -- I am going to suggest that the true "sense and tense" of the phrase 'Must Shortly Come To Pass' actually means "Must Shortly Begin To Come To Pass"...

And - yes - the phrase "shortly come to pass" in Revelation 1:1 and the phrase "shortly be done" in Revelation 22:6 are the same in the Greek.

"Something to think about..."

 

[crossnote]

Pure fantasy, the earth has been here billions of years and will remain for billions of years.

2 Peter 3:3-9 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

OK, then perhpas you can explain how 2000 years fulfills...

G5034
τάχος
tachos
takh'-os
From the same as G5036; a brief space (of time), that is, (with G1722 prefixed) in haste: - + quickly, + shortly, + speedily.

a brief space of time.

a brief space of time.

Your focus is on G5034. My focus is on G1096.

must G1163 shortly G1722 G5034 come to pass G1096

The whole phrase - all of the words taken together - mean:

"Must Shortly Begin To Come To Pass"

The "Begin To" is part of G1096.

Using the bolded words from your G5034 above -- it is saying:

"After only a brief space (of time), [ these ] things will begin to come to pass."

The ~ 2000 years is "associated" with the meaning of G1096, not the meaning of G5034.

Go back and read the 'GRA' quote in post #62 again...

EDIT: The verse does not say how long it will take for the 'things' to all come to pass; it only says that it will be a short time until the 'things' begin to come to pass.
