    Proof of Pre Trib Rapture

    [T]he times of the Gentiles I count as from 606 B.C. the king of Babylon: (Luke 21:24; 2 Kings 24:1-4). The head of the image denotes In Nebuchandressor's dream the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, and the feet of the image denote the end of the times of the Gentiles. The times of the...

    I don't count those stylistic differences to impact the meaning that much. Christ is too wonderful and needs four gospels emphasizing His profoundness from four angles as each evangelist had his particular focus. He is a Slave - Mark. He is yet also a King - Matthew. He is the...

    Trump & Religious Principles

    But you mentioned that you were an unbeliever with whom most people here disagree. Briefly then you did make it about your "religious principles" - unbelief.

    Trump & Religious Principles

    I'd be glad to hear you and speak with you here. I am not sure which thread of forum would be best for that. I am a Christian. But I sure was not born one. So some empathy I have for other people who are not yet. Or may choose never to be. That would be a tragedy, I say, because Jesus Christ is...

    Wars and Rumors of wars Mt. 24:6

    I was responding to this assertion - "All prophecy has Israel as the center, the hub of the wheel. " No, the prophecy of greater significance is that Christ will and must build His church the dwelling place of God in man. The prophecies concerning national Israel are great. But the whole reason...

    Wars and Rumors of wars Mt. 24:6

    "I will will my church" (Matt. 16:18) is a greater prophesy.

    Proof of Pre Trib Rapture

    I am aware of this. Are you committing definitely to the rationale that becauase Mark frequently used "immediately" therefore we should consider that the Lord did not mean very soon after these dramatic cosmic events "at that time"? Or this is not a firm commitment for you but just a...

    Fellowship What are you studying/reading in scripture currently?

    I am really into 1rst and 2nd Ephesians these days. I am into 1rst Ephesians because Paul had an audience apparently so very fully opened to him. He could pour out all the revelation that was in him concerning the church. I am into the letter of Christ to the church in Ephesus in Revelation...

    That is not the answer. Myriads of meteor showers are one thing. Christ observed coming on the clouds with power and glory is like "Well, Who is like God?" I don't care. You're evading the question not about objects falling from the sky but Christ the God-man coming on the clouds...

    Proof of Pre Trib Rapture

    I did not see an answer to my question. I also derived no spiritual benefit in this theorize harmoniztion of most of the list of events. (The date in 1948 of Israel's reformation has some faith confirming value) When Christ ascended into a cloud from Mt. Oliviet two men said He would...

    Proof of Pre Trib Rapture

    I read your entire post. I have read others like it. Could you also indicate the historical date when this event occurred spoken by the Lord in Matthew 24? And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will...
