جبهة, Do you know about Jabhat al-Nusra?

In my understanding of end time events, the LORD will return in the air on the Feast of Trumpets to gather the Church to Himself, whereafter He will present us [His Bride] to the Father in Heaven. Then 10 days later, on the Day of Atonement, the LORD will come again to rescue the nation of...

'The difference in the rapture and the second coming' - about 10 days!

In the OT the almond tree was representative of the Levitical priesthood: menorah [lampstand] Exo 25:31-37, Exo 37:17-22; and Aaron's rod Num 17:8. However, Christ was not a Levitical high priest, but one according to the order of Melchizedek (Gen 14:18, Heb 5:6, 10, 6:20). I was saying that...

Two other men. The 2 olive trees and the 2 lamp stands are: 1) specifically two individual NT saints, and also representative of the Church 2) representative kings [olive tree], and priests [priesthood of Levi - OT almond tree, priesthood of Melchizedek - NT pomegranate tree], 3) two cherubim...

Some waters are seen, as you mentioned in Rev 17:7, 15; but other waters are heard, as you mentioned in Rev 14:2. I would suggest that the waters heard in Rev 14:2 do not represent people, but perhaps the word or testimony of God; such as in Rev 1:15 "and His feet like burnished brass having...

What exactly does Rev 14 teach? I would like to make some observations about Rev 14:20, "And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood went out of the winepress as far as the bridles of the horses, from a thousand six hundred stadia" (Rev 14:20 LITV). 1. 'a thousand six hundred...

"All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being" (John 1:3, see John 1:10). "For all things were created in Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible; whether thrones, or...

and I might add, Mike, "He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul; He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many, and He shall bear their iniquities" (Isa 53:11). If you have been called by Him and love Him, the LORD will work all things...

and Abraham named that place 'the LORD will see' (Gen 22:14 a). The LORD saw with His eyes, so He had experiential knowledge (Gen 22:12). But the LORD also had foreknowledge, as Abraham then said, "In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen" (Gen 22:14 b). The scenario regarding Abraham and Isaac...

You are claiming to know what He knows, and how . . . but, you are a man. I'll trust in what the LORD has said about Himself, and how Jesus explained Him. You are mistaken to equate God's knowing something with God's blame for it. Mike, what denomination or religious organization do you...

Believe it or not, God's vocabulary is not limited to the vocabulary of the Scriptures. You and I and God all know what 'sovereignty' is. God has given us a will that we might chose life over disobedience, to act upon His calling and gift of faith, to subject our will to His, to respond to His...

God is always right, but that is matter of His character - and is not a reason supporting whether or not He is Sovereign. In your understanding, is God sovereign over all of creation - over man? over time(s)? over matter? And more to the point of this thread, do you think that God's will is...

You say: 'God does not know . . .' and 'He just knows . . .' It appears that you assign limitations to the God of the Bible. I have asked you a question that is yet to be answered - Do you believe God is sovereign?

"And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them." (Isa 44:7 KJV) "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this...

The LORD tells us many things before they happen, prophecy. His word is true, and believable. How can you trust a god whose word is not sure, guaranteed to be true? On what basis is that faith or believing?

I am in agreement, FreeGrace. I do not understand how one places faith in a god who is not sovereign, all knowing, perfect in love, and full of grace and truth.

Mike, God had foreknowledge of everything before He created anything. "according as He chose us [to be] in Him before the foundation of the world . . ." (Eph 1:4). ". . . according to His own purpose and grace given to us in Christ Jesus before eternal times," (2Tim 1:9 LITV). "indeed having...

Malachi, What exactly does Revelation 14:12 teach you? - "Here is the patience of the saints; here are the ones keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus." If it is true that a portion of Rev 14 does not regard the Church, then why this verse regarding those who have the faith of Jesus?

I agree with part of what you said: 'One of the fundamental principles of Bible interpretation is exegesis'
