As I said, that isn't my view, and quoting it doesn't change my interpretation. From my perspective, the Roman Imperial Tradition is bound to the lineage of its ancient Eastern and Western territories, and that would not include the entire world. It would include only European Civilization. And...

Thanks brother. I have more in common with you than not. Pretrib vs Postrib is not my biggest issue. Walking with the Lord is, and you have that. That's all that matters to me.

I totally agree with you, and is what I'm saying. The Bible predicted the "Man of Sin" in Dan 7, and Paul confirms that in 2 Thes 2. The book of Revelation elucidates this even further. The only thing I question is whether there will be a 3rd temple. I don't think there will be one, though I...

Jesus said that we should not anticipate any *false Messiahs* before his glorious appearance in the sky. That helps us to expose those who are on earth now, claiming to lead people into a false Kingdom of Man's making. None of this has a thing with dismissing all future prophecy, as if future...

I did not set up a prophetic calendar, but only state what I think Daniel's prophecy means. I'm taking seriously the word of God, while you apparently wish to dismiss it all as a foolish attempt to predict the future?

Jesus was concerned that we not try to anticipate the times and the seasons. Rather, we should focus on what God is telling us to do today. But he did not say that future events could not be anticipated. He clearly anticipated the coming Roman invasion of Jerusalem in 70 AD, though he did not...

I agree with most of this. I just don't think the world will be split into 10 sections. "10 kings" more likely refers to 10 kingdoms or 10 states headed by 10 political leaders. Dan 7 indicates the Antichrist will have to defeat 3 of these "kings" in order to assume control of what I believe...

Blueprint for the end. Daniel 7 provided a blueprint for NT history, and Jesus confirmed it in his Olivet Discourse. The idea was that a 4th Kingdom, the Kingdom of Rome, or the "Roman Empire," would be the final great power on earth to play a role in final judgment on earth. Jesus saw the...

Thanks brother! Good to have your support on this.

I agree and well said. I thought that's what I was saying? Are you trying to contradict what I said, add to it, or further explain it?

Name It and Claim It. Where have Prosperity Preachers gone wrong? They have brought Christianity into disrepute by claiming things that are luxurious and over-the-top, making Christianity out to be a fraud, corrupt, greedy, and deceitful. When things "claimed" do not materialize, they simply...

Whether you agree or not, I believe that the Law was designed to keep Israel in relationship with Himself. That's why the Law--to give Israel the knowledge of righteousness, so that they would know God, fellowship with Him, and not come under judgment by Him. I agree that circumcision is no...

The problem with that is, the Feasts were not given to us initially, but were given to Israel in the OT era, before they knew much anything about Christian Salvation. What we know now speaks of Christian Salvation. But that was not the initial purpose of the Feasts. They kept Israel in covenant...

I don't see the Feasts giving any kind of plan of Salvation, except that they show God's continuing desire to keep Israel in fellowship with Himself. And in making sacrifices they acknowledge their need for mercy. I suppose that's a "plan of salvation?"

Is everything you don't agree with "Satan?" If so, you're extremely immature! Some things we will simply disagree on because we have different information and see things differently because we come from different backgrounds. Think twice before you call a brother "Satan," if that's what you're...

The Fall Feast of Tabernacles wasn't a prophecy at all. It was a seasonal observance looking forward to the atonement of Christ. It was a "foreshadowing," as Paul put it. You may or may not want to call that a "prophecy," but it certainly wasn't a prophecy of the 2nd Coming. Perhaps you wish...

Nowhere in the Scriptures is it taught that Christ's 2nd Coming can take place "at any moment," nor that the Rapture of the Church can take place *today.* Polls and popular convictions are not Bible doctrines. At one time the popular Christian view was Arianism, which came to be viewed later...

Yes, that's been my experience also. We're told that the Law provides a secret pattern for those "with eyes to see" who can use it to predict the future. This is nothing better than fortune telling, or crystal ball reading. Someone always claims to have the "secret key" to unravelling the riddle...

On another forum, it was suggested that Feasts days might predict the time of the 2nd Coming. I answered as follows.... I think the Law was bound up in Christ's earthly ministry, and not in his 2nd Coming. For that reason, Christ fulfilled Passover, which was under the Law, by dying *apart from...

You are so on the right track! :) Yes, God does all the changing. And as long as we're abiding in the vine, and sharing the word, things are happening that pleases God. In different environments and at different times, we have different results. Sometimes we're told to sort of "hide ourselves"...
