I'm not defending Luther, just pointing out blatant error is easily seen in the light of scripture. Also the four Empires have been used since .....forever, and theologians just took it for granted the empires were the four kingdoms, but in light of scripture they don't fit the prophetic words, Median Persia was not INFERIOR! Greece did not rule the whole world, and the four generals who theologians say are in Daniel 11 do not fit the historical record of what is written in the bible. The biggest red flag none of this works is they all have to be around when Christ returns, because He destroys them "At the same time" the gold the silver the bronze and the clay mixed with iron are broken to pieces at the same time.......Then think realistically when Christ returns, what is His biggest obstacle the Russians, China? or some other world power, what has been God's greatest enemy.....false religions! from beginning of the bible (Babel)to the end, its always been about false gods and religions, the final beast is a conglamoration of all false religions, minus the harlot, she was only used to get where they needed to go, once they are strong enough, she will be destroyed, because they hate her (she is the one Jesus calls to "come out of her my people".....there's good people deceived in her appearenceWhere did I say that we are not to check what various theologians have said about the Word of God? My point was not that we are to blindly accept the commentary of orthodox theologians as truth, but simply that their comments, especially those that line up with what the church has said is true, should be considered as such until we can prove otherwise. If you believe theologians are to always be considered wrong in everything they say, why are you defending Luther?
What temple might that be? The one where the dome of the rock now sits?
Is that the Holy Place you are talking about? Where Gods people are to stand? Please, think about what you are saying.
Yeah, if you do a search on "false witnesses" you can also see what their testimony of what they "heard" Christ said (verses what Christ actually said) in relation to the temple (His body)
Amen Sister, and like the shoes(man-made covering for the feet) the stones that construct the Lords Temple(Body of Christ) shall be made of whole stones, untouched by any man made doctrine(tools.)
Deuteronomy 27:5
And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
1 Kings 6:7
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Deuteronomy 27:6;"Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones..."
Joshua 8:31;"As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man has lift up any iron:"
It ain't made with the hands of man!
1 Peter 2:5;"You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
Missed you girl friend, Peace.
Yes, the new Jewish Temple will stand (as best we are able to discern) where Herod's Temple stood, where the Dome of the Rock now stands. That is the place that Jewish Temple worship will be reinstituted and it is in that new Temple that the Antichrist will establish his short-lived reign.

The fact that he eats alot is a good indication of the skills of the chef.
I'll be spending the day away visiting with my mom tomorrow, wish you and yours a happy day of thanksgiving. God bless.

The, "Holy Place", in this case, is referring to the Temple in Jerusalem during the Tribulation period. It is there, about 3.5 years into the Tribulation, that the Antichrist will establish himself as world dictator, bring an end to the regular temple sacrifices/services (which had been reinstituted at the beginning of the Tribulation), and set up an image of himself in the Temple to be worshiped as God (see 2 Thess 2:2-4 & Rev 13:14-15).
The "abomination that causes desolation" was spoken of first in the Book of Daniel (see Dan 9:27 & 12:11).
--David
So according to your above interpretation we should all run there and "stand there." Jesus told us to in Matt.24;15
"And when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the Holy Place,..."
Thats why I interpret it as the Garden of vegatables in each our own yards. Exactly where Adam and Eve were placed before they left. Or else buy your tickets folks, I hope they have enough lodging over there!
Keep in mind that the jewish "theologians" were constantly talking about Rabbi so-n-so said this and Rabbi so-n-so said that and through that they were also constantly updating their understanding of the scriptures. It irks me that the church father's interpretations are venerated to the point of being written in stone when this means was never used by jewish scholars.Hi pdehart, which 'theologians' are you talking about? Everyone of them I have read interprets, "The Holy Place", in Matt 24, as being the Temple in Jerusalem. Also, don't forget that the "Jews" knew the Bible because it was read to them and interpreted for them by their own "theologians".
I'm not directing this comment at you personally, but I am continually amazed at the demonizing of those who make it their life's work to study and help others know and understand God's Word more accurately here at CF. Should something be considered wrong simply because St. Augustine said it? Should it not be instead that we take the interpretation of the Scriptures made by our orthodox theologians and church doctors as the truth unless we can otherwise prove them wrong?
Sorry! I know my comments are off topic, but I've felt for some time that this was a subject that needed to be addressed.
Yours and His,
David
Lutherans and Calvanists are still very boxed in imo. Not to say that we should ever go outside of scripture but we shouldn't ignor some scripture to promote others. Sorry if this has led off topic.Sir considering what we have written in the bible we see from the earliest beginnings of the church that error was at the door, even the apostle Peter if not stopped could of led the whole church to follow the circumcision group if not abruptly stopped by the apostle Paul, just figuring early church figures must be correct without lining it up against what we have written in the bible is not a very good idea. Its very likely that error has crept in, we are even warned that it would!, now when we see some of the error, as did Luther it must be exposed and the truth of God's word will put a light on it........needless to say Luther had further to go, and more to expose

The Holy Place that Joshua saw was the captain of our salvation.
imo They both see no reason to move outside their ways of thinking to explore different theories. When they do they generally move on to different denominations to explore that. Which are in their own boxes per sae. I'm not calling down the denominations but only the mindset that brings denominational thinking into an equation. Sorry if I offended.That wasn't the intent. And I'm also sure it wasn't anyone's intention to bring denominational beliefs in either.OK, I'll bite, what do you mean when you say that Lutherans and Calvinists are "boxed in"?
Thanks!

What this thread has pointed out is how the Judaists viewed the Holy Place ( for one thing.) But the tabernacle was a shadow of what was to come. Christ. He is the altar , the lavar that washes, the bread, the light, the golden altar, all those things.
Then the thread has pointed out those who are abiding in Christ. Most prophets of old missed the time of the church like Daniel's 7th week. Yet most saw beyond that like seeing two mountains but not seeing the valley in between.
Others have refered to Revelations/Ezekial/Daniel refering to the millinium's temple While some say that it will go full circle back to the Jews rebuilding of the temple.
I think that all of them are right. The Judaists, the puritists, those who look to the things to be fulfilled.
Was, is and is to come.
