Dave, I think I would look at Hebrews 11.
Abraham was born again and looked for a spiritual kingdom instead of the physical kingdom the Pharisees look for. But Jesus said, unless born again, people cannot see the kingdom in their midst.

Of course I am not Jesus. However, you're using the logic that if someone reads prophecy and comes up with an interpretation that they believe God is showing them then it's false prophecy because for example the Bible doesn't explicitly say "European union".

Using that logic if I were in the room when Jesus gave that interpretation I could have said It was false because again "scripture doesn't explicitly say so".

Who are we to call it a false prophecy just because the Bible doesn't explicitly say so? Don't you think to wait until time passes and then judge it by it's fruits?
Only God knows. we learn after the fact in most cases.

What also gets me is "Confirms with many".. more then one.
Blade, that issue of "many", came up in a discussion I was involved in many years ago with the Jews (Judaism) at their countermissionay site, MessiahTruth, their Administrator Uri Yosef, Phd. What they said was that the many referred to the Jewish people.

To further see what the Jews think about the verse, at another Jewish site, Chabad.org, they have a English translation of the Tanach. Which Rashi's comments can be viewed as well verse by verse. Rashi was a prime Jewish (Judaism) theologian.

Here is Rashi's comments.

"And he will strengthen a covenant for the princes for one week: לָרַבִּים, for the princes, like “and all the officers of (רַבֵּי) the king,” in the Book of Jeremiah (39:13).
will strengthen: Titus [will strengthen] a covenant with the princes of Israel."

A lot of information can be gained from what the Jews think - although in application their view is way off from ours. They are wrong about Titus, for example, but that is another topic.

I think you have a thread you created on that topic, don't you? I suggest that you edit your post and add a link to your thread.

I was referring to Hebrews 11 in regards to the question put to you, what is the definition of faith? It was a suggestion of mine, nothing more.

In 1Thessalonians5, Paul introduces the concept of saying peace and safety before the Day of the Lord begins, unexpectedly

In 2Thessalonians2, Paul clarifies that the Day of the Lord (called the day of Christ) is also preceded by two other things. The falling away first and then the revealing of the man of sin, the son of perdition.

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The falling away (implied to be falling away from believing that Jesus is the messiah) will be many in Christianity will turn away from Jesus and believe that the Antichrist is the "real messiah". If you talk to Jews (Judaism), that's how they refer to the person, because they reject Jesus, the person forthcoming
as the "real messiah".

When the Antichrist goes into the temple, sits, showing that he is God - actually what is implied is that he is showing that he has achieved God-hood. Where do I get that?

From Ezekiel 28:1-10, which is about God having the person killed for the act of sitting in what metaphorically is the seat of God. The passage indicates that the person has magnified himself in his
heart (going back to Daniel 8:25) to think that he is "a" god, and claims to be God at the same time.

I am going by the KJV.

Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Now reflect back on Daniel 8:25. This is how you can tie the verses together. And see what is going to happen.

Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.


So once the person claims to have achieved God-hood, it angers God, Who in Ezekiel 28:1-10 has the person killed, by strangers, who slay him, which I connect as peace is taken from the earth, when the person triggers the Day of the Lord, with his act.

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.*

8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

So it is God who has him killed.


*Prior to the person going off on the deep end and claiming to be God, the Jews and the world will be thinking he is the "real messiah".

that's why the abomination happens at the 6th Seal. The Day of the Lord's wrath is announced at revelation 6:16-17

The abomination is what is causing the falling away & is the defining item that 'reveals' the man of sin.

He is 'revealed' to the faithful at the very beginning & revealed to the unfaithful when he is destroyed.

The 'locusts' are stopping the sacrifices (Joel 1:4-9) (the people of the prince to come Daniel 9:26 = the locusts of Joel & the 5th Trumpet = forces that place the abomination in Daniel 11:31
Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.​

The people that do not accept this messiah are the people that are gathered in Revelation 7 (the 144,000 & the great multitude that are coming out of the great tribulation (Revelation 7:14) and is the group that are gathered by the messengers/ angels in Matthew 24:31

These people are coming out of the 'great tribulation' because they reject Jezebel of Revelation 2:22

Is it lying to say what scripture does not say? And then say scripture says so?
So....calling people liars because you disagree with them is also jumping making a rash accusation. Some things some might disagree, and some might believe in heresies , but it doesn't necessarily mean people are liars. To lie or to deceive is to purposely mislead.

Replacement theology is false prophecy.

Removal Theology not Replacement Theology

Please Stop Saying "Replacement Theology"
The term "replacement theology" is not helpful because:
  1. It is uncharitable. It does not seek to listen to or understand covenant theology, but rather to dismiss it without giving it a proper hearing.
  2. It is pejorative. It's meant to cause harm by making our views seem ridiculous and not worthy of consideration.
  3. It is not accurate. No one would assume this label for themselves because no one believes that the church has "replaced" Israel. When this label is used, what comes across is that our views have not really been understood and the person that we're communicating with does not care to take the time to understand our views.
So please stop using the term "replacement theology". Thanks!

"Replacement theology" or "supersessionism" is the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

John Hagee and others who oppose "replacement theology" are rank false teachers whom apostle Paul condemns as "fallen from grace, severed from Christ". (Gal 4:10; 5:4; Rom 7:1-7; Jer 31:31 + Heb 8:6-13)

Christians are God's true "Jews" today.

1. Christians are the true Jews and true Israel today
2. The church is God's Israel today.
3. Physical Israel is equal to the gentiles today and like the Gentiles, must believe Jesus rose from the dead in order to be saved from

Faith comes from hearing the word, not speculating on it.
what about that which speaks of things to come? not all of it is speculation. There is a space that occupies Faith from the word of things to come and this is still truth.

In only eleven out of the ninety four cases are the fulfillments exactly as the writer described or foresaw.

The daily sacrifice is begun again, then at a certain time the person commits the transgression of desolation by sitting then temple, then the person is killed, then the person is brought back to life as the beast, then the image of the beast is made and placed in the temple as the abomination of desolation, then the Jews flee to the mountains, then the two witnesses are killed, then the two witnesses are brought back to life and ascend to heaven, then the 7th trumpet sounds, then the war in the second heaven as God begins dismantling Satan's kingdom of Mystery Babylon the Great, then Satan is cast down to earth having a time, times, half time left, cast down to earth then Satan incarnates the statue image of the beast which was placed in the temple, then everyone is required to worship the image or be killed, then the Great Tribulation continues, until Jesus returns to end it, and cleanses the temple.

Jesus will cleanse the temple of...

1. the beast sitting in the temple - the beast and the false prophet cast alive into the lake of fire.

2. the statue image of the beast - turned to ashes, Ezekiel 28:16-19, exposing Satan.

3. Satan - bound in chains and cast into the bottomless pit.

You should study and understand what all the sanctuary (temple system) was/is all about and what actually, "cleaning" of the sanctuary is.

Satan incarnates the statue image of the beast which was placed in the temple,

What scripture states an inanimate object (statue) will be incarnated

then at a certain time the person commits the transgression of desolation by sitting then temple, then the person is killed, then the person is brought back to life as...

Who is this person? How is this person brought back to life? Scriptures for this?

The temple .... when is the temple rebuilt?

then Satan is cast down to earth having a time, times, half time left, cast down to earth

Are you saying satan and his minions are in heaven?

Only 11 of 90+ prophecies were fulfilled as written. Why do you think you can understand a prophecy before the fulfillment defines or explains it?

Where in the world o_Odo you get your stats??
The stats come from Robert Whitelaw loosely quoted from "The gospel millennium and obedience to scripture". It has an extensive breakdown of the prophecies and how each was fulfilled.

Ya, his bogus stats based upon " Kingdom Theology" --no thanks. That is not a belief that the Bible teaches.
