How? Just asserting something is so doesn't make it so.Your disagreeable attempts to make Luke 13:32 an 33 into meaning the same 3 days, can be seen as wrong by any reader of plain Words, because the 2 third Days are diametrically opposed.
How are they opposed?
I'm so over discussing these verses with you.
Your reading of these verses is just so random!
Unsupportable.
Unsupported.
Out of context.
Random.
Junk.
Luke 13
31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you. 32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’
33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!
It's a simple counting game. It says "I'll take my time thank you very much - until I die in Jerusalem."
Your inserting some kind of end-times table in here is as random as the paper's astrology charts. It's got nothing to do with anything the passage is discussing.
The two subjects? Herod - and Jesus ministry then death. That's it. No end times tables! ZERO! Your inserting end-times-tables into this verse is as laughable as anyone grabbing any other random story.
EG: My attempt at an end times chart!
Resurrection happens on the Last Day, right? So surely stories involving Resurrection MUST be about the end times, right?
John 11:17 says "On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days."
Holy dooley - Lazarus was raised on the 4th day! That means if we do the Peter equation of day = 1000 years that means Jesus will return in the year 4000.
Now you are OBVIOUSLY wrong with your reading of scripture because here's my proof text that Jesus returns in the year 4000AD! OK? I mean prove me wrong! It says it - in the context of Lazarus being raised from the dead - and then Jesus says HE is the Resurrection and the Life? Whatever else could it be discussing?
4000 AD
Incorrect! They are sometimes about the future, but often seems to preach to THAT generation. EG: Hosea 6 was telling THAT generation to repent and then the Lord would forgive quickly! Jonah had to prophecy to Nineveh. Etc.What is the context of Bible prophecy? Future events described to us in advance of their fulfillment; right?
But what you are doing is worse.If they have been fulfilled, then the historical record should show it.
You're reading a description as a prescription, a story as a prophecy, and being SMUG about it! Being a MARTYR when someone dares to tug on the reigns of your high horse and say "Wait a minute buddy, but nothing you're saying makes any sense." (Then the indignant sniffing starts!)
With my posts; I have presented the Prophetic Word, as it is Written in our Bibles.
Absolute rubbish - you've presented a description of Jesus rebuking Herod as some kind of warped and ridiculous end-times-table that a high school English student could say was bad reading!
Patronising nonsense - you don't seem to understand what Amils believe this time will be like? War, pandemic, death and destruction, persecution - it's just absolutely patronising nonsense that Amils don't accept that life can and will involve these things. It's also terribly patronising to the generation that John actually addressed his letters to. Imagine the theologians I read are correct on all this, going back to Augustine and the Reformers. Imagine you meet up with martyred first century saints in heaven - and they've been watching you put together theories that RIP their letter out of context and basically tell them "Hey, you guys think being fed to lions was bad - wait till you see what happens at the end of the age!" How many times can you be killed? How many times can you suffer watching your children killed? Why is your 'Last Days' tribulation any worse than the first century tribulation John said he SHARED in with them - the people he was writing to?The context of forthcoming dramatic events, is the Day of the Lord's Judgment and punishment. That you may not like the idea of a time of trials and testing ahead, is no reason to question, or reject what God has told us He plans to do.
On a personal note - don't try and diagnose me from a distance. You don't know what trials or health concerns my family have been through, what our financial situation is, and what we've already survived. In my family one of us was an abandoned missionary kid whose parents couldn't understand her in her teenage years and basically emotionally neglected and abused her, one of us had childhood cancer and is fighting depression as a result of all that, and some of us have other health and anxiety issues. And you think you can diagnose why I disagree with your absolute rubbish end times table? Talk about patronising rubbish - talk about a classic Bulverism!
You must show that a man is wrong before you start explaining why he is wrong. The modern method is to assume without discussion that he is wrong and then distract his attention from this (the only real issue) by busily explaining how he became so silly. In the course of the last fifteen years I have found this vice so common that I have had to invent a name for it. I call it "Bulverism". Some day I am going to write the biography of its imaginary inventor, Ezekiel Bulver, whose destiny was determined at the age of five when he heard his mother say to his father—who had been maintaining that two sides of a triangle were together greater than a third—"Oh you say that because you are a man." "At that moment", E. Bulver assures us, "there flashed across my opening mind the great truth that refutation is no necessary part of argument. Assume that your opponent is wrong, and explain his error, and the world will be at your feet. Attempt to prove that he is wrong or (worse still) try to find out whether he is wrong or right, and the national dynamism of our age will thrust you to the wall." That is how Bulver became one of the makers of the Twentieth Century.
