    Futurism&TheTemple

    These men, therefore, trampled upon all the laws of men, and laughed at the laws of God; and for the oracles of the prophets, they ridiculed them as the tricks of jugglers; yet did these prophets foretell many things concerning [the rewards of] virtue, and [punishments of] vice, which when these...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    These men made the temple of God a strong hold for them, and a place whither they might resort, in order to avoid the troubles they feared from the people; the sanctuary was now become a refuge, and a shop of tyranny. They also mixed jesting among the miseries they introduced, which was more...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Again, the "Little Horn" can't profane the profane. It would be like David Letterman walking into the White House and declaring himself president. It's a ridiculous scenario. And it won't happen for that very reason.

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Even if true it's irrelevant. We - believing Jews and Gentiles - are the Temple now, sanctified (made holy) by the presence of His Holy Spirit. They could build a thousand temples and not one would have any significance to God or His plan of salvation for all mankind. You cannot desecrate...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    That covenant was replaced by Christ's sacrifice and violently abrogated with the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. It doesn't matter what "many Jews want." What matters is what God has done to save all mankind.

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Yes, and according to Paul, it was defeated: but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 2 Timothy 1:10 (NASB) ...the last enemy is done away--death; for all things He did put...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    And who are His enemies??? He tells us! "But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.' Luke 19:14 (NASB) "But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." John 18:36 (NASB) Is Christ in His kingdom or is He not? If He is not, why...

    Is a metaphor for the new kingdom of God: Christ's church.

    Revelation was written no later than 68 AD, and is indicated so by an overwhelming amount of internal evidence.

    Futurism&TheTemple

    And the two most significant signs of His return were the gospel being preached throughout the whole world, as Paul wrote was fulfilled when he wrote to the Romans (chapters 1 and 10) and Colossians (1:5-6, 23), and the great tribulation (civil war and famine) of Jerusalem leading to its...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Matthew 24:15 is a reference to Jerusalem per Luke 21:20. The entire "Holy Land" was Holy to God and His people, which is why the people of Jerusalem offered their necks to the sword when Pilate tried to bring the "graven images" of the Roman emperor (on their ensigns) from Caesarea into...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Fulfill the desire of futurists to see Christ return (because we all know faith doesn't mean a thing to sign-seekers.)

    Bible Study â€œUnderstanding The Wordâ€

    Considering that many books in the Bible are historical in nature, your statement is a contradiction. Aside from your appeal to "Spirit-led understanding", is there no other admonition Paul himself gives us regarding the value of actual study you think would be worth mentioning? :chin:chin:chin

    End Times Close?

    He did, but I doubt you'd believe it. Very few do.

    Pre-Trib Rapture

    At the height of every historical persecution of the church, the church actually grew in numbers. Hence, you will have a hard time eliminating every Christian by the very process that has historically created them.

    Understanding apocalyptic language...

    How does the AC defile something not sanctified by God with either His blessing or presence??? How do you profane the profane??? Bueller? Bueller? :chin

    Understanding apocalyptic language...

    Young's Literal Translation. I don't use it for study. I use it to check the accuracy of other translations. Here's a typical example: The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 1 Cor 15:26 (KJV) Now, this same verse from Young's: the last enemy is done away--death; 1 Cor 15:26...

    Pre-Trib Rapture

    Hosea and Ezekiel would beg to differ with you on that, as I have shown from both.

    Pre-Trib Rapture

    Then why would He punish Israel for not upholding their end of it if they weren't bound to it, too??? The fact that Israel was bound to the Law is why Christ came: to redeem them from the Law. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the...
