The prophecies in the Book of Daniel were fulfilled in the first century AD. The 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled in the first century AD. Matthew 24:15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader...

Jesus comes to earth only two times. The first time was when he was incarnated. The second time will be at the last trumpet. Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are...

Jesus appears bodily on earth two times. That is all. He will appear the second time, with the clouds accompanying him, which is the same way he left. Jesus appeared the first time, 2000 years ago, to die so that our sins could be forgiven. Jesus will appear a second time, at the end of time...

A thousand does not necessarily mean a literal one thousand. Psalm 50:10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. Gods owns all the cattle on all the hills. He does not just own the cattle on a literal one thousand hills. I only need to show you one example...

I see what you mean, though it makes no difference. How many generations did the first covenant last? Did it last a thousand generations? 1 Chronicles 16:15 He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations, Jesus implied that a generation lasted 40 years...

Peter knew that the Gentiles were to be saved before Paul was commissioned. It was already the last days when Peter was preaching on earth. God did not suspend time. The 70th week immediately followed the 69th week, just the same as the 69th week immediately followed the 68th week. Acts 2:14-21...

There's no rapture/ascension of the righteous people on earth before Jesus' second coming! All people's bodies in the graves will rise from the dead to re-unite with their spirits right before Jesus descends from heaven, accompanied by the righteous of these resurrected, to take his people who...

It is fine with me if you believe this.

It's okay with me if you believe "a thousand" means "one thousand."

God hasn't told anyone how long the world will last. He does not plan to. It doesn't matter what the Talmud states. God is sovereign. Matthew 24:35-36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the...

Apocalyptic language using these types of numbers is "symbolic," not literal. 1 Chronicles 16:15 Remember his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, God is never unfaithful. The point of the "a thousand" generations in my scripture quote above is that there...

God didn't write ONE thousand years. He wrote A thousand years. These do not have the same meaning. The Jews do not view numbers the same way as many non-Jews do. From Jewish Encyclopedia: Ten: Had a symbolical character in part because it is the basis of the decimal system, and in part...

"A thousand" does not need to mean exactly ONE thousand. "A thousand" is not a specific number. It symbolically means "many," and it can mean "all." Deuteronomy 7:8-11 It was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath that he swore to your ancestors, that the Lord has brought you out with a...

I can see that you believe this.

Jesus founded a hierarchical church. He gave his church leaders the authority to interpret the scriptures. He did not give his authority to you to do this. You are free to express your opinion, but you have no authority to impose it on anyone else. I don't have this authority either. Hebrews...

"Putting away the filth of the flesh" is a reference to taking a normal bath, which removes dirt and sweat. It has nothing to do with sin. Baptism saves us by washing away (forgiving) our sins. This washing away of our sins through water baptism, as commanded by Jesus, is what gives us a clear...

Paul's call was to preach. He did not have the time to baptize. Other disciples with him did the baptizing that was commanded by Jesus. The purpose of Paul's comment was to stop the one-upmanship of some members of his flock, who thought that a baptism performed by one disciple was better than a...

This is what the Jews of today believe, according to Ask the Rabbi: The Just Ask! - AskTheRabbi.org Team God uses four expressions of redemption in describing our Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation: 1. “I will take you out…” 2. “I will save you…” 3. “I will redeem you…” 4. “I will take...

I think the apostles would whole-heartedly disagree with you. It is the water baptism commanded by Jesus that washes away—forgives—our sins. It is this water baptism that makes us Jesus' disciples. This water baptism sanctifies us and makes us righteous (justified) and God's children by...

I don't believe in Bible Alone because this is not scriptural. The NT Bible as we know it today did not exist when the apostles evangelized. They preached the gospel in person. This is called the oral tradition of the church. Later, the apostles and disciples wrote letters to further explain...
