No, it says that someone will blaspheme and desecrate the temple.
I re-read John 3:13 in the poorly translated KJV Bible. It does say basically the same as my REBible.
Revelation 13 shows there will be a Temple in the end times and it supports Daniel 9:27 & 11:32.
You have the Promise of Eternal life, not the reality as yet.
No, it speaks of the Temple.
But says nothing about sacrifices being restarted so they can be stopped again.
Eternal life means spiritual life. It means that we are spiritually alive - and that if we died now we would be with God for eternity, as opposed to being spiritually dead.
How do you know their names have been erased from the book of life - have you read it?
Daniels Prophesies cover the end of the age, the last days, and the time of the end.
The new Temple, built and operated to the specifications in Ezekiel 40 to 46, will have an Altar and will have regular sacrifices and offerings. As per the scriptures I provided in #245, which you fail to address.
It means we will never experience the Second Death. Revelation 20:14-15 Which is annihilation.
I know that our name can be erased from the Book of Life; Exodus 32:33, Psalms 69:28
How God will Judge the wicked and reprobate peoples, is well described throughout the Bible. Romans 9:22
They may do. But that doesn't mean that your interpretation of them is correct.
I'm not going to address your interpretation of them.
But you have no idea whose names will be erased and whose won't.
What I'm saying is that you have no idea if someone is "wicked and reprobate" or not.
It's a legit critique of your claims. Nothing personal. I provided specifics.
Well, at least you got to that point.
I never said I was a judge.
Jesus mostly taught Salvation and how we should live. He also taught about our future, esp in Revelation. I agree with and promote all of it.
So: 'All Creation will praise God', THEN disaster strikes?
Another case of simply not reading what scripture does say. Revelation 20, plainly states that Satan and his minions will not be able to deceive anyone during the Millennium. Only AFTER the thousand years is past is Satan released for a short while. THEN destroyed forever.
But you did say:
I asked you how you know that.
You have pointed out some random verses and tell us that they mean certain thing for our day. Like Zechariah's flying scroll with writing on which you say is a nuclear bomb and will be used by a certain country. That is definitely an interpretation.
Presumably that means you, and everyone else - your Pastor, Bible commentators and most of us here - are wrong?
I know what they say. And I know that Jesus and the Apostles have told us that many of them have been fulfilled.
You won't be arrested for it, no.
And what Jesus said was that many would be deceived. Matthew 24:5
It really is unreasonable for you to say we cannot gain understanding of the ancient Prophesies from modern knowledge.
Because many would come in his name claiming to be the Christ, not because they believed that certain countries would do certain things or that wars would/wouldn't happen.
Peter is telling the people he is writing to that they can trust what he tells them about Jesus because he was there - a witness at the transfiguration.
People turn to false teachers and get sucked in by groups like JWs, because they generally don't know the Bible. They cannot contradict someone who says "the Bible teaches ...." , shows them the relevant verse and then goes on to push their own doctrine rather than Biblical teaching.
I didn't say that. We can use what we have now - commentaries, bible resources, the ability to learn Bible languages/use interlinear Bibles - to study and learn what they said and what they meant.
The book of Zechariah describes several visions and uses allegorical language.
I don't have any "bias and ignorance" - unless it's against those who take random Scriptures out of context, apply them to modern situations and then teaches that everyone who disagrees with them is wrong.
Only if you bought into the story that Jesus isn't here, now.
I understand that, but your timing is so off. Matt. 25 marks the "SEPARATION" of the sheep from the goats, the "SEPARATION" of devils from people and the devil and his messengers are then sent to the flames.
Your "guess work" has 3 significant flaws:
If you take verses like this out of context and change the words, I suppose anyone can come up with any doctrine they want to. What's irrefutable is that it doesn't say "no one goes to heaven".
John goes up before the throne in heaven)still before the throne in heaven)
Actually not many claim to be Christ now. There were a few, soon after Jeus' Ascension.
There is plenty more Prophecy about the last days and the final events of his age. You and most people don't want to know about it. To your distress when things get rough.
Unfortunately, people generally follow what their parents believe. Those who do look elsewhere often believe false teachers.
But if what is clearly Prophesied, did not happen then or since then, then it remains unfulfilled as yet. Maybe to take place tomorrow?
Yes; I noticed.
Heaven is where God is and that means He is everywhere.
But it does say that.
Jesus told the Disciples that He would send the Holy Spirit.
