I would say we've been connected globally a lot longer than that. Its just becoming more and more intertwined with a greater & faster flow of information.

heh, there's really no way of knowing the true quantity within each party to weigh one side vs. the other and come to a decisive conclusion since there's a lot of stuff that goes on behind closed doors that never ends up seeing the light of day. I'm content with saying that one party is as bad...

Regardless of who does more or less of it, there's still too much corruption & cronyism on both sides. Its a miracle that the government accomplishes anything meaningful nowadays. I'll take a liberal, conservative, or independent if they're going to do their job without corruption & pushing the...

I think it can happen well before that. I just don't see this nonsense that's going on in the world continuing for that long. One thing is certain is that it will be an amalgamation of different regions/alliances that will ultimately fail and turn into an east vs. west war. You have the northern...

What is the truth? The problem is that the majority of the information provided by news media/outlets is slanted & puffed up in order to push an agenda, way of thinking, more ratings/views, etc., whether it be conservative or liberal. People need to start thinking for themselves and the first...

I don't see how the presence, or lack thereof, of the ark would have any bearing on it. It never prevented Israel's enemies from looting the Temple and it certainly didn't prevent Antiochus IV from placing an idol in the temple and sacrificing a pig on the Altar of Incense. Its hard to say...

Hard to say, but if original Temple services are going to resume prior to or during the first half of the tribulation(and there's every indication that it will), I would assume that the original Ark of the Covenant will be found, if it already hasn't been found. The way I see it, without the...

Of course, and that was covered. However, keep in mind that for the amount of deception that will be going around, there will be just as much truth(the two witnesses and the 144,000). People will need to choose what they have faith in: the popular lie or the scorned truth.

The article in the Greek means that "the falling away"/apostasia is referring to a particular event that occurs, and must occur, before the man of sin can be revealed. For a general idea of what this is, its basically a unified rejection of God and His Word as seen in Genesis 11 with the...

This particular Scripture isn't that difficult to understand and there's really nothing to debate when it comes to whether or not the mark is physical. The interpretation methodology being used to indicate it as not being a visually identifiable physical thing lacks any kind of consistency...

God is absolute, period. Unfortunately, people get caught up in the vain musings of what He can do, how He could or would do it, etc. His omniscience(all-knowing) should be understood as Him having no limits in regards to how He can accomplish something. He does His pleasure, whether it be...

:confused2: #1. While the definition(s) of a word are important, so too are any adjectives connected to it and the context(s) in which they are used; especially when the noun can have more than one meaning. #2. Had you bothered to check and compare similar passages in the other Gospels, you...

With the way things are going, unless there's a major revival, I don't see this world going beyond another 20 years. Shootings and various other forms of violent crime are a regular occurrence, not to mention the fact that we frequently hear about children committing such crimes. The ability to...

Why wouldn't at least some of it grow back? I see nothing in Scripture that states or would even indicate otherwise. This isn't a permanent destruction that makes all grass non-renewable(i.e. won't grow back). Some grasses grow back fairly quickly after burning. The main irritant of this...

I wouldn't recommend it. It will most likely end up turning into a bunch of different arguments leading off topic. As I said, you're better off spending time researching it yourself. When I started out, there wasn't much of an internet and my main reliance was on a NKJV Bible and a Strong's...
