1063 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | stjohn | 204587 | ||
Tamara: The Lord has indeed blessed you with a very inquisitive mind! That a good thing, but do please be careful my dear friend. I don't like to see my Brethren slip! :-) Try this, think about that some believe that the prophesy in Daniel is not refering to revelation ay all but the fall of jerusalem in 70 A.D. as is much of what we read in Jesus' answer to his disciples Matthew is about. "As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Matt 24:3 Some say that this is a two part question, so all of what He revails to them is not about the same event, nor is it about the same timefraime. They ask "when will thease things happen" Well what things was he just talking about? He had just told them about the distruction of the temple, which happens in 70 A.D.. And then they ask: "and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And he tells them the answer to both questions, but its hard to ditermin where the break is. But I think it's there, I haven't studied that extensivley though. Shalom and God bless John |

1064 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | stjohn | 204578 | ||
R.C....Your post is very presumptuous. You have NO idea what my views on the timeframe Revelation are! Yet you accuse me of many things! What I do know though, from reading it, is that John is being given a vision, so he does NOT measure a literal temple: too, he was on the isle of Patmos, nowhere near Jerusalem, which coincides with the fact, that it was a vision. I know I know there is much more to it. Your theory may have some merit, but it leaks! That is just one example of your many erroneous assumptions, I also think you may have a convoluted view of history. If you were not so grounded in your presuppositions perhaps you would check further, and you might find that there were dispensational views being taught many centuries before the 19th century. I am not a dispensationalist, by the way. And I don't have a denomination, but if I had to chose, I'd have to say, I'm a Baptist. And you have a good day too, R.C.! By the way R.C. If you need the last word you may have it, but I have much better things to do then argue about eschatology. Gal 6:14 Just my two cents. Shalom and God bless John |

1065 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | stjohn | 204560 | ||
Dear Tam: In 167 B.C. Antiochus IV Epiphanes, attacked Jerusalem and put down the Maccabean Revolt. Consequently, He then took over the temple, and Josephus historian says, "that he (Antiochus) forbad the daily sacrifices to be offered, which were used to be offered to God, according to the law: and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate; either a garrison of Heathen soldiers in the temple, which drove the priests and people from it, and made it desolate; or rather an idol in it, it being usual in Scripture to call idols abominations, as they are to God and all good men; the image of Jupiter Olympius, as is thought, which was placed upon the altar of God by Antiochus, on the fifteenth day of the month Cisieu, in the hundred and forty fifth year of the Seleucidae, and is called the abomination of desolations, in the Apocrypha:" This appears to be an historical event, and there is little doubt that it actually accred, but there are those that espouse that though this has happened in history that it will happen again at the end of the time of trial, mid tribulation: Inferring that it is a double prophesy. Just some added info, don't know if you are aware of this or not, but thought you would find it interesting. God bless John |

1066 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204556 | ||
Dear Tamara: You wrote pertaining to the power to forgive sin: "He did do it, but then that means He gave them power He has given to no one since." He certainly did not do it. Here is something that I hope clears that up. We need to be very careful with the exposition of that verse! "Ver. 23. Whose soever sins ye remit,.... God only can forgive sins, and Christ being God, has a power to do so likewise; but he never communicated any such power to his apostles; nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves, or pretend to exercise it; it is the mark of antichrist, to attempt anything of the kind; who, in so doing, usurps the divine prerogative, places himself in his seat, and shows himself as if he was God: but this is to be understood only in a doctrinal, or ministerial way, by preaching the full and free remission of sins, through the blood of Christ, according to the riches of God's grace, to such as repent of their sins, and believe in Christ; declaring, that all such persons as do so repent and believe, all their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake:" John Gill http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ God bless John |

Thanks Jim! Yes indeed, what better thing is there to take delight in! I especially like Psalm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. God bless John |

Hi Azure: No I haven't read it, but I would love to! C.S.Lewis is one of my favorites! Please give me your friend's e-mail or phone number, and I'll try to wrench that copy out of their fist! But I guess then I would have to learn to read Chinese! :-) I'll certainly check out Spurgeon's exposition as well. Thanks Sis. | ||||||
1069 | What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 | Rev 17:10 | stjohn | 204528 | ||
Dear Jamison: I think you are correct in presuming that a thousand is a thousand, in most cases, and in this case there is no reason to think otherwise. Remember too that John is relaying a vision to us, as it is given to him, and in his doing so he is not interpreting them, just giving it out as he literally sees it, sort of like watching a movie, Rev 1:10-11 and then telling what he saw by righting it down. We can assume that he is being literal. Whatever allegory is being used is being used by God: Can we presume that we know what God is thinking? Or that we know what John is thinking, as so many expositors like to do? You certainly can see the danger in that, I'm sure. There are some pretty wild interpretations out there! Just my two cents God bless John |

Dear Sister Azure: Have you ever read John Gill's commentary on Plasm 19:7-14? I would highly recommend it to anyone! Gill does a really beautiful job. Hear is just one example of his wonderful exposion on these virses. God bless John the link: http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ Psalms 19:11 Ver. 11. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned,.... By whom the psalmist means himself, who was the servant of the Lord, not only in common with other saints, but as he was a king and prophet, and as such he received advantage from the word of God; all his instructions as a prophet, and all his rules of government as a king; and the whole of that wisdom, prudence, and knowledge, with which the conducted in both offices, were from the Lord by his word: and it may be applied to any servant of the Lord, and especially in an ecclesiastical office, as an apostle of Christ, and minister of the word; who serve God in the Gospel of his Son, and, by means of the Scriptures, are furnished for every good work; and also to believers in Christ in common; who, of whatsoever rank and quality, in whatsoever state and condition of life, whether high or low, rich or poor, bond or free, are Christ's servants; and whatsoever is written is for their instruction, and by the word of God they are "warned"; the Scriptures are a way mark to them, to direct them in a right way, and to caution them against turning to the right or left; either to immoral practices, or the errors and heresies of wicked men: it is a lamp to their feet, and a light to their path, and teaches them to walk circumspectly, and warns them of rocks, gins, and snares in the way; or, as the words may be rendered, "by them is thy servant made clear", or "bright"; so the word is used in Da 12:3; that is, in his understanding: the psalmist confirms, by his own experience, what he had said before of the word, Ps 19:8; that it enlightened the eyes: the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shining into the heart gives the light of the glory of God in the person of Christ; it illuminates and irradiates the mind, and gives clear ideas of the glory and perfections of God, of his counsels and covenant, of his works of nature and of grace; and makes a bright discovery of the person, offices, and grace of Christ; and of the blessed Spirit, and his operations; and of the blessings of grace, and of eternal glory and happiness; http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ |

Dear Sister Azure: I want to thank you once again for the Scriptures you directed me to in Psalms. After meditating on them for a while, I found they were just the Scriptures I was looking for. I should have known that what I was seeking would be found in the wonderful and lovingly compelling Psalms of David, a man after God's heart. Bless you Sister. Shalom and God bless John |

Dear Tamara: By the way, FYI I have blueletterbible, esward, biblegatway, crosswalk, just to name a few, bookmarked, and am certainly not averse to doing the footwork, no problem sticking my nose in the books ether, and do so for hours on end, but thought someone may have something off the top of their head. Thanks again. Shalom and God Bless John |

Are you being serious-?? Do you mind telling me the difference between saying the gospel of your salvation, or, the gospel of salvation of your souls? My friend, when I answered your original question I thought you were being sincere, apparently you were just putting on the gloves! Friend this is not toastmasters, it is not a debate forum. Your argument about semantics is down right silly and frankly quite disparaging! Please desist. 1Cor 13:11 |
