Dear prophecy enthusiasts, if you have any notion of where this is going, from a prophetic perspective, please give me your insight? Thank you!

A little study to help determine how we should take care in declaring, "clearly this is true." ;) I found it interesting, having spent a little time studying philosophy, looking at what the Bible says is "certain." A lot of philosophy consists of trying to figure out what we can be certain of...

Keeping the Law was not "Legalism." Legalism is trying to obtain, by means of the Law, something that requires more than what the Law alone can give. As well, it is the attempt to obtain standing with God apart from God's means of obtaining that standing. Christ and his atonement is, in fact...

On another forum, a brother seemed discouraged by my attempt to remove myself from the label Preterist, and identify myself with the Futurist label. Here is how I see the issue, as I explained it to him.... I don't think this subject is just an exercise in finding places to argue. Explaining...

God's word is irrevocable and eternal. The Law of Moses contained a testimony to the eternal word of God and His judgment upon all men, that they all are sinful and all must die. Until this is fulfilled the world will not be restored. This is what Jesus meant in Matthew 5. 17 “Do not think that...

Matt 5.17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until...

I think somewhere it's said that when the Messiah comes back he won't find much faith on the earth. That may be for two reasons. One, many people on earth will be dead, due to the nuclear war at Armageddon. And it will also be because the Beast will persecute and even kill a number of...

You should thank your lucky stars! God has not, in history, been about the business of bringing Eternal Judgment, or Eternal Sentencing. There will be a day for that, for reviewing your life to see where you need to be placed for all eternity. I'm not here to say God is going to put people He...

Here's the problem with the so-called future "70th Week of Daniel." 1) The 70th Week of Daniel immediately followed the 69th Weeks of Daniel, or the "70 Weeks" prediction makes no sense. 69 Weeks + 2000 years + the 70th Week? No! Only ancient Church Father Irenaeus and his disciple...

In the parable of the 10 virgins, there were 5 wise virgins and 5 foolish virgins. Jesus was giving this parable to his Disciples while they were still under the Law of Moses. I believe the virgins were being depicted as bridesmaids instead of as brides because under the Law, the hoped-for...

I was taught a Pretrib Rapture in the early 70s by friends and the church I began to attend. But I had been raised in church from birth where no such thing ever existed. Since this was new to me, and held by all my new Christian friends, I thought Pretribism was the way to go. Hal Lindsey had...

No, I think you're exactly right--you aren't in the place where I am, in forums hearing people use "faith" as a means of license, ie antinomianism. They say that "law" and "faith" are opposites, and that anything we "do" is a mistaken sense of guilt since we are not justified by what we "do."...

Recently I raised a matter that really deserves its own thread, so that it doesn't get confused with other issues. It is the matter of differentiating between classes of Sin. Over the course of my lifetime I've heard things like, "All sins are the same." Well, I don't find that to be true. It...

"Replacement Theology" turns the word "Israel" into a dual-purpose word, retaining its literal meaning "Israel" as a natural people, but simultaneously turning it into an allegorized term denoting a "spiritual people." There is no basis for inserting this process of allegorization, which began...

Trump-hating Pope now wants to baptize transgenders if it doesn't cause scandal? You have got to be kidding! MSN

Everything we are told to do in the Bible must be understood by revelation and done by revelation. We must not merely use the Bible as a "book of promises" to be put into use whenever we want to apply a biblical outcome to our lives. If we read that Elijah did a miracle we cannot just "claim it"...

Could this passage represent England and the US, who have been protecting Israel in the Middle East? England prepared the way for a modern Jewish State in Palestine. And the US is now the major protector of Israel against Iran. England and the US are clearly related and may constitute a single...

Rev 6.7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. These angels appear to encourage the advance of the Church in NT history. Perhaps they represent a progressive development of the Church in history...

Add bookmark #1 So much that Jesus promised his disciples had to do with a central assumption, that they were in the will of God and following God's word to their heart. Throughout the Law, there were curses for disobedience and blessings for obedience. Often, when God's People suffer various...

How do I tell the moderators of this forum to please take a witch's hat off of my icon, and remove the distracting Halloweens bats from the screen? It seems that one simply cannot have a Christian conversation around Halloween without being inundated by devil costumes and paraphernalia! You'd...
