    Mark of the Beast

    There is no desecration of a physical temple by an Antichrist because such a 'temple' would be his own temple with his own Antichrist system. Hardly likely that the Antichrist will desecrate his own 'temple'. God has only one temple in the world since the veil of the physical temple was torn...

    Mark of the Beast

    The Gentiles will be trampling the holy city underfoot for 42 months. The beast will be making war against the saints and overcoming them for 42 months. The outer court is apostate Christians + nominal ones who do not believe, shown by the fact that they do not believe that the third Temple of...

    Mark of the Beast

    If you take the language literally the temple mentioned in 2 Thess 2:4 is the New Testament Temple. The word naos refers to the actual sanctuary of God (unlike the word hieron, which refers to the temple structure / buildings) and the word naos is not used again in reference to the temple in...

    Ammillennialism and Pretribulationism both fly against the Early Church

    My own understanding of a Post-Tribulationist, literal thousand years following the return of Christ and Day of the beast's judgment did not come to me through studyng what the ECF wrote, nor by studying Bible commentaries, nor via any institution's theological or eschatological foundation...

    Quizz: 1. Who said, "Jesus came to save sinners, of which I am chief."? 2. Who said, "For this is the will of God: Your sanctification"? 3. Who said, "Woe to those desiring the day of the LORD! What is this for you? The day of the LORD is darkness and not light!" ? 4. Which of the above is...

    Lol. Iran is not Babylon. The Jeremiah 50 you quote as though Iran is going to fulfill it.

    Nonsense. The contents of any scroll has been written long before the scroll is sealed with seals. Only when all the seals have been loosened can it be seen what was written on the scroll, which is why what had already been written on the scroll only began to be seen once the scroll unraveled...

    :thumbsup:.. which includes you. Imagine a crowd of thousands of people all pointing a finger at you. Those people represent your mountains of opinions. There are only one or two people in-between who represent facts. You don't even believe God has made a new covenant with anyone in the blood...

    Lol. What I do not think is that you have much understanding of Biblical prophecy.

    Actually it's someone who checks up on history and reads commentaries by Christian historians and by people a lot more informed than you, who are also more honest than you are with yourself about what was fulfilled historically. What you express a lot of the time is your own self-deception.

    IMO hopeless confusion stems from the fact that you conflate the seals that a scroll has been sealed with, with the contents of the scroll that they seal, including the events that are being prophesied about in the scroll, and take the things John saw when the seals were opened to be the events...

    Hosea 1 is a prophecy about how God was going to (still future tense when the prophecy was given) destroy the Northern kingdom of Israel because of their idolatry, and cut them off as a people. It took place in 722 B.C, and did not affect the Southern kingdom of Judah. It wasn't the Jews, a.k.a...

    The Biblical authors did not read what we wrote or interpret what we say. The Bible does not use our own personal choices of terminology. Jesus and the biblical authors invented their own terminology, and chose the words they would use in reference to the tribulation that the saints will...

    ? Hello Keras. I wasn't referring to or quoting anything you said, and you're not quoting out of Hosea in your quote above. It's Jeremiah 30. 3 For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD: and I will cause them...

    THE BIBLE ON:- 1. Wrath. 2. Judgment. 3. Universal Judgment. 4. Persecution. 5. Tribulation. 6. Great Tribulation. WRATH God's wrath has been poured out upon people and nations over the course of human history, but it has not necessarily been poured out upon the whole world in each case (for...
