Paidon, you said "Paul, however, knew that when a person was baptized, he received the Spirit of God. Since these disciples hadn't, there must have been a problem with their baptism. While Jesus lived on earth He said, "for it [the Spirit] dwells with you, and will be in you." So those who received ...

i don't believe in a secret rapture or 7 year trib either. I just believe that the last trump is the seventh trumpet (the sixth has already sounded) and that the saints will be caught up at his appearing and this mortal will put on an immortal body. In view of a number of verses that describe the fi...

Thomas, I agree that the 457 date is a very neat fit. I just threw the other in as I had been reading about it recently and as I said I'm not fully convinced. Jesus was possibly born around 6 BC - Herod died in 4 BC and Jesus may have been up to 2 years old at the time the innocents were slaughtered...

It's late at night here (for me anyway in Australia) this deserves a full answer. The way I see it is Antisemitism was global during the 1930s. World War 2 soon followed. Just as war/slaughter has followed specific acts of hatred towards the Jews. Tsar Nick's secret police published Protocols of the...

thrombomodulin, The three decrees were in 536 BC (Cyrus), 457 BC (Ezra 7:13), and 444 BC (Nehemiah 1 was dated the twentieth year (of Artaxerxes) The 536 date is too early by any calculation. In "Y'Shua, The Jewish Way to Say Jesus," Moishe Rosen cites Sir Robert Anderson's calculations based on lun...

That's basically the way I've understood those verses for some time now. But I had wondered why the seven years might have been separated from the 62 years - you made an interesting point about that. You've made some interesting points. Some years ago I drew up a timeline 1 cm = 1 year - because I g...

Lazarus, you have gone to some effort to show a number of verses that deal with God's anger against Israel. How about Numbers 24:9 Blessed is he who blesses you and cursed is he who curses you. This WAS written about Israel , not Abraham. Or take Obadiah. God's judgement on all the nations (v. 15) a...

I agree. This is how I've always read those verses. I have always had trouble figuring out how interpreters turn the messiah of verse 26 into antichrist in verse 27.

So Sean, Allyn and Ric... Are you saying Satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour on the end of a long leash? And you say I add my own interpretation to the scriptures. I am saying that, yes. However, I did not say you are adding your own interpretation. Instead I kindly asked several que...

Yes, I agree Satan is not going to deceive the nations when he is in the bottomless pit - I just disagree with your interpretation that that is where he is now. Because of the many verses I posted earlier that indicate that he is active now.
