How does emperor worship fit in with the 2nd beast of Rev. 13 (lamb with two horns) giving breath (pneuma) "spirit" to the image (ikon) so that this image can both speak and cause people to be killed? How can it symbolically be Jewish general homage to Rome's authority? Of the three well known prete...

You write “The entire prophecy of the “70 weeks” is confined to four verses of scripture:” But as you know, Dan. 9:24-27 is part of the entire chapter and is the answer to Daniel’s prayer. Dan 9:23 At the beginning of your petitions an answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasur...

Steve, Thanks again for your perspective. My biggest take-away in our discussion on Mark/Matthew verse Luke will be the point you brought up that Luke is not sufficiently different in structure to constitute an explanation. Related to that I will continue to wrestle with issues as to why you suggest...

Whether the disciples "got it" or not, in Acts 1, Jesus had certainly stated the doctrine frequently enough...and they eventually understood it. What is 100% absent from the entire New Testament is any affirmation that the Jewish expectation (and the disciples' early expectation) of a political kin...

Here’s my desperate attempt at the rebuttal: First, it seems very unlikely that Luke 21 is a different discourse, given to an broader audience than the discourse described in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. This suggests that Jesus gave the same discourse, almost verbatim, twice the same day--once to His di...

What possible reason would Jesus have for not talking about the 70AD temple destruction/events when that is what they asked about? The short answer is that the disciples expected a future kingdom at the Ascension. Act 1:6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time ...

The question of whether Jerusalem is the subject matter of any part of the Book of Revelation must be decided upon its material contents, not upon the identification of the recipients. If the fall of Jerusalem would have a spiritual impact on Christians around the wworld (as it did), what objection...

Steve, Thanks. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. I'm always willing to give up what I think I know for the Truth. Somethings appear to be understood within the bounds of larger constructs. So for the sake of the larger construct, some nusances can be overlooked. For me, this is less of a nusanc...

Steve, I appreciate the time and consideration you have given to this discussion. Second, Luke does not affirm that the discourse he records was given in the temple. True, the events of chapter 20 through 21:6 occurred there, but there is no reason that Luke or the other writers must tell us of ever...
