You are dead wrong. Their (at least some of them) extremism is smouldering underneath. The reason it hasn't been unleashed is because they are still playing the acceptance game to lure America into accepting them as peaceful. In the next 20-30 years they would have gained more foothold in...

Would you like to show me a Muslim country/society that is without an element of fundamentalism?

For a start, if you are not a Christian, what are you doing on this platform? Second, you ignored my narrative and picked a sentence out of context to project a feigned and misguided fragile sensibility. I'm sure the parents you believe would struggle to explain to their curious children the...

Thank you for this wonderful exploration of this ugly but unsurprising proof that the end of the age is nigh. You asked a pertinent question: should Christians fight this cultural trend or give in to the pressure for acceptance? From my pov, no pathway is guaranteed to stop it. The NT is full...

I partly agree. It is the same problem confronting every Western army, from Russia against Afghanistan in 1979 to the US and the allies in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent times. Once a terrorist drops his AK47, he becomes an "innocent civilian" but with a weapon, he's a terrorist. How do you...

Isn't it rich of you to accuse Israel of "aggressive and unjustified heavy monitory, etc"? When Hamas launched their unprovoked attack against Israel, they did not play by the rule of engagement - they cut down everyone in their path - both young, old and even babies! Did they not know that...

I concur that a brick-and-mortar temple must be in place to fulfil several end-time prophecies. My objection is that some of the passages you presented as support, don't say what you claim they are saying.

We see 2 Thess 2:4 differently, but it's OK. I disagree with your metaphorical rendition of the text. For it to make sense given the context of Paul's narrative, it has to be literal.

You are overlooking the reason the Antichrist will be sitting in the temple in the first place - which is to showcase himself as God, this objective will be defeated if the temple exercise is rendered figurative.

In the 3rd temple, Orthodox Jews will resume animal sacrifice with all the pomp and ceremony inherent in the old practice. You still haven't (or did I miss it) explained how the AC will perform this figurative feat of proclaiming himself God.

Haggai 2:6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. 8...

I tried to draw your attention to something in my last post, but I don't think I did a good job of it, so I'll give it another go. Judah was exiled to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar and returned under Cyrus of Persia. But Jeremiah's prophecy about their return did not mention the subsequent fall of...

Haggai 1:2-15 and Isaiah 60:7 refer to the old (Solomon's temple). It's NOT about the future temple. See below: Haggai 1:14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of...

I have no problem with dissenting views and rather than walk away, I am trying to open your eyes to new ways of looking at the prophecy. This is the second time you've said "I'm not cut out for debate", but the question is, are you? Prophecy sees what exists in the future, it makes no...

The little horn of Dan 7 is yet to manifest. His timescale is in the end-times - read Rev 13 and 17.

I don't know if you're asking me about the mission of the antichrist out of humour or out of genuine interest that you don't know. But if you really don't know, perhaps you should read 2 Thess 2:4, I couldn't have done better than Apostle Paul in explaining his (Antichrist's) motive and objective.

Completely on point....

I give up. For someone who says he's not dogmatic, your intransigence couldn't be more antithetical if you tried. Have you read Rev 11:1-2? An angel asked John to measure the temple; of particular interest is verse 2 "But do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is...

I don't which "commentator" told you that the "a time, times and half a time" in Dan 12:7 is 1260 years. When the spies sent by Moses to spy out Jericho brought an evil report that showcased a lack of faith in God, Israel; was punished by roaming for 40 years in the wilderness instead of...

I'm afraid you lost me. Prophecies of the end times emphatically point to an Antichrist, a man empowered by Satan to do his bidding taking the world centre-stage at that time. The end-time is the close of the age and it's very real, so I don't know what you mean by "the end time that futurists...
