I agree with you for the most part. David changed the wording of Nathan the prophet. Then Solomon further changed the quotes of David to more directly relate the prophesy to himself. I covered this topic in chapter 18 of my book Heresy. It is not an interpretation, but a simple and honest...

They were already in the outer darkness. He just left them there.

All I'm trying to point out is that Jesus already reigns supreme in the hearts and lives of every Christian in every kingdom/nation on planet earth. Those not ruled by Him are already in outer darkness, i.e., damned. You are My friends if you do what I command you. - John 15:14 NASB

I've always thought Jesus was being sarcastic when He said they were gods. I mean look, He could have just quoted the second half of verse 6 and claimed He was in full rights to being the Son of God, but He didn't. No, He chose to quote the fist half of the verse, which is clearly preposterous...

Thanks. The reference was helpful and so was the video outline.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Daniel 2:44 Here in Daniel we have expectations...

Another verse documenting Satan cast out of heaven. Now the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!”And He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. - Luke 10:17-18 NASB

I am not trying to make Full Preterism work. I am just trying to point out is that Jesus' Passion is often overlooked by Christians as being not all that grand. I think it was the most stupendous set of events in the history of our universe and thus calling it the great and terrible day of the...

According to Luke 3:2-5 and Isaiah 40:3-5 we should no longer have mountains or ravines right now. Prophetic writings cannot always be taken literally. Prophetic inspiration flashes like lightning in an otherwise dark night. Looking at the example of Christ's first coming we can see that God...

The Great and terrible day of the LORD had come. /QUOTE] Thanks for your comments. I think we as Christians are guilty of not appreciating Christ's first coming enough. I mean that God Almighty, who is outside of time and space, came into time and space for a short period of time. He then...

You left out Matthew 11:14 in your discussion of John the Baptist.

God showed His face to Israel by coming in the flesh as Jesus. And, He poured out His Spirit on the house of Israel the day of Pentecost (most by far of Christ's early followers were Israelites).

Thanks for the thoughtful response. The references were very helpful.

Old Testament Amos 8:9 And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord God, “That I will make the sun go down at noon, And make the earth dark in broad daylight. Joel 2:10-11 Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon become dark, And the stars lose their...
