1 | What is shortly to the Lord | Revelation | humpy | 95740 | ||
The shortly of Rev.1:1 has nothing whatsoever to do with God's time no more than the word shortly does anywhere else in the bible, but the word shorty mean just that shortly. If you will take notice of what is said in Rev.1:1 it will be made clear to you. notice it say show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. It is not talking about God's time but to show his servants what must be done shortly. | ||||||
2 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | DarcyA | 95741 | ||
Humpty, Explain these verses if they have been fulfilled also give scripture back up please. Isa 2:4; Zech 12:10; Zech 14:4; Joel 2:30-31; Is11:6-9,65:25; Is16:5; Jer22:2; Ps 2:9. Now if you are going to use Figurative interpetation on these verses prove that they are suppose to be taken figurative. Also prove to me that the Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was broken because of their decendents I am guessing you must believe this to make make your views look correct. Also if you really feel up to it, why was it that God always judged Israel as a nation and us on a person to person basis? The reason I am asking this is because I'm guessing you may think we are now Israel. And why is there still idol worship when Isa 2 clearly states they will end? Darcy |

3 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | humpy | 95743 | ||
well I think that you are giving me to many questions at one time to amswer but I will answer one of those verses for you. Let's take Joel.2:30-31, Has Joel been fulfilled? Answer yes it has.And how do we know this? The bible tells us so. I think you believe that Joel is to be taken as if these things were real, like the sun really turn dark and the moon turning to real blood, but like I told you before the bible will answer for it's self. Look at Acts.2:14-21. Here we have Peter tell us that Joel found it's fulfillment is his day. Look at verse 16, Peter say's this BUT THIS IS THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL. And then he goes on the tell us all about Joel.2:30-31 and he tells us that this was being fulfilled. Now friend it just comes down to this, are you going to believe what the bible says? or what some man has to say? or what your own mind tells you? The bible is always right, always. I would be more than happy to answer all your questions but if you would please only one at a time. Thank You | ||||||

Acts 3:19 "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 3:20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, 3:21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time. Who is Peter talking to here? He is talking to the Jews. He is telling them to repent so God can send Jesus the christ back. Has Israel repented yet to this day? Is so when? Because according to Acts this must happen before Christ's return. Darcy |

5 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | humpy | 95910 | ||
the men that Peter here is talking to did get saved that day when he pearched this to them as Chapter 4:4 tells us. And in verse 19 of chapter 3 were he say's that Christ will be sent when the restitution of all things, it does not say when the jews believe or have faith but when the restitution of all things. Now let me show you first of all if you will let me, that first we all are jews if we are saved than you are a jew. Rom.2:28,29 makes this very clear, that there are not any jews in the flesh anymore, god has did away with the jews as a nation and will no longer have the jews as his people. Look at 1 Thessalonians.1:14-16 here we are told by Paul that the jews please not God and that they killed the Lord Jesus and that because og this they will fill up their sins for how long? Will they oneday turn to the Lord, no. how long will they fill up their sins. What does the bible say look at it, it says ALWAYS. | ||||||
6 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | DarcyA | 95914 | ||
I'm going to write the same thing I wrote to another preterists tonight. Yes you are right....When God promises Abraham Isaac and Jacob the land of Israel He wasn't serious, When Jesus said every eye would see Him, he didn't mean it. When The prophets of God said there would be peace on Earth and the curse would be lifted it was figurative. When a verse contrdicts your belief that can't be God must have meant it in a figuritive since. Now I would advise you to read Matt 25 about the sheep and the goats. And ask the Holy Spirit to direct you if you know lord as your personal savior. And if you do you will see some truth. Also let me warn you and other preterist this is coming from my heart People who think God changed His mind on the promises to Israel and are now given to the church. And Isreal is No more goods Chosen and you hurt the apple of God's eye I would not want to be in your shoes. Because one day you will be Judged by a Jew, the Lion of Judah on how you treated His brethern Also note not one time does Jesus call the church His brethern he calls Israel His brethern. Remember this Verse every day of your life Genesis 27:29 May peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you; Be master of your brothers, And may your mother's sons bow down to you. CURSED BE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, AND BLESSED BE THOSE WHO BLESS YOU." (Emp. Added) God's Words Gods Promises, cannot be changed. Remember it was Jews who gave us the Word of God Who a lot died for here faith. It was a Jew that gave us gentiles the Gospel. It was a Jew that that died an undeserving death and took our place which we are deserving of. The reason I am saying all this is because I don't know how you can have this view of 70AD Christ returning and not think of the Jews have lost their promises God almighty made to to thier forefathers. This part is added. I did a little checking on perterists I have found out a couple of intresting things. I found out that Hitler and the KKK were peterists. Read Genesis 13:15-17 13:14 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 13:15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. 13:16 "I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered. 13:17 "Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you." Now are you saying God lied to Abraham? Do you see any conditions put on Abraham here? Or is this symbolic. It must be one of those for your belief to be right. Also Read Romans 11! |

one thing is for sure, you can see that the church are the sheep of Christ and not just the jews only. The jews of Christ day thought the same things that you think now, that the jews are the chosen people of Christ and none other. And also I notice that you are not trying to answer any of the verses that I have given you but just move them aside and try to find some verse that will prove what you think. If you believe that the jews are God's chosen people than please tell me what did Paul mean in Romans. 2:28,29 whaen he tells us that they that are in the flesh are not jews, which means of course that just because they are jews in race does not make them the children of God, but he says that a true jews is one that is one in heart and not in the flesh. Now let me ask you is God going to tell us this and then turn right around and say somewhere else that the jews in the flesh are his chosen people. I think not. also why would God tell Paul to write in 1 Thessalonians. 2:14-16, that God has given up the jews as a nation and that they will fill up their sins always, not for a little while but always, now would God say all this and then turn right around and choose the jews again in some future time as his chosen people again. I think not. My friend the church is God's Isreal now and forever shall be. Notice that we are told that Christ died for the church and not the jews. When I started this study on Revelation my reason for doing so was to show that the book has already been fulfilled, but the questions that you are asking have nothing to do with the book at all. You must understand the the Isreal that God has is the church and that when we read of things about Isreal in the old testament they were fulfilled in the the church. | ||||||
8 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | DarcyA | 96025 | ||
I didn't say that. The church is distinct from Israel. The church is promised Heaven the israelites in the OT are not. The Israelites are promised The land of Cannan (Israel) Remember if you read the old testement Israel does accept Christ after His return. If you keep in mind that Israel is not promised Heaven and the Church is not promised Israel. IT all fits. It all connects perfectly no figurative all literal unless states CLEARLY otherwise. | ||||||
9 | How do you explain these Humpty? | Revelation | humpy | 96373 | ||
no you must understand that the spiritual Israel is the true Israel. Look at this Romans.9:6-8. The seed here that Paul is talking about is the true Israel of God and they are those in the flesh, that is those over there in Jerusalem are not the children of God but the church is the true Israel the true jew. I'm not saying that none of the jews will be saved, they will, even Paul was a jew and so was Peter,but what I'm saying is that all those promises that you read about in the O.T. were fulfilled in Christ and the Church. And I must add that you must look at the bible spiritual, like take the ark, what this have to do with Christ, and the offerings of Israel, what did they have to do with Christ, see my meaning, all of the bible shows us Christ and we must look at these things spiritual. And like I told you before this has nothing to do with Revelation. But I think that I have made my point on this subject and so have you, and even though we don't agree on lot's of things I do thank you for all of your notes and letting me know how you feel about the subject, when all get to heaven I am sure that Christ will show us many things that we did not see so clearly. I think I will end this subject and go on to another. Thanks. | ||||||

11 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | humpy | 96378 | ||
Who did Christ Die For? It is believed by most of the world today that Christ died for all of man kind. But did he? The bible is very clear on this and I would like to give one verse that must be answered before we can say that Christ died for all of man kind. John. 17:2 here we find that Christ gives eternal life to who? not everyone but to who? only to those that the father has given him, notice that he say has given, not will give, but already has given to him, pass tense. Now if everyone here was in view there would be no reason to say all that the father has given me. So we can see just from this one verse and there are a lot more, that Christ did not die for everyone and that God has not the will to save everyone. |

12 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | DarcyA | 96380 | ||
John 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men to Myself." (emp. added) 2 Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. enough said. |

13 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | humpy | 96386 | ||
The world in John.3:16 does not mean everyone. Look at John.17:9 does this mean that Christ prays for no one? and as for 2 Peter.3:9 the is not slack concerning his promise, what promise? Not to save everyone in the world, nowhere does the bible say this. But notice that little word USWORD. what does this word mean. God is not will that who should not perish, not any of the usword. Well who is Peter writting to here? Not everybody in the world not to all men. But to whom is Peter writing to here? verse one tells us, it is the beloved, those that are already saved, and he tells us that God is not willing that any of us should perish and indeed none of the usword will. When jesus said that he would draw all men unto him, the word here for all men does not mean everybody in the world. If it did Christ would have to save everybody in the world and no one would ever be lost.If all men meant everyone. The all men here means all men of every nation and race, not just the jews, but all men of every nation and race. But back to my question, what about John.17:2 no one has answered the question. | ||||||
14 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | DarcyA | 96387 | ||
In Christ Seven times Jesus speaks of believers as given to Him by the Father (# Joh 17:2,6,9,11,12,24). Jesus Christ is God’s love-gift to the world (Joh 3:16), and believers are the Father’s love-gift to Jesus Christ. It is Christ who commits the believer to the Father for safe keeping, so that the believer’s security rests upon the Father’s faithfulness to His Son Jesus Christ. (Scofield) To all on whom the Father has purposed to bestow the blessings of redemption through his Son. God has a plan in all he does, extending to men as well as to other objects. One part of his plan was that the atonement of Christ should not be in vain. Hence he promised him that he should see of the travail of his soul and should be satisfied (Isa 53:11); and hence the Saviour had the assurance that the Father had given him a portion of the human family, and would apply this great work to them. It is to be observed here that the Saviour in this prayer makes an important distinction between “all flesh” and those who were “given to him.” He has power over all. He can control, direct, restrain them. Wicked men are so far under his universal dominion, and so far restrained by his power, that they will not be able to prevent his bestowing redemption on those were given him that is, all who will believe on him. Long ago, if they had been able, they would have banished religion from the world; but they are under the power of Christ, and it is his purpose that there shall be “a seed to serve him,” and that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against his church. Men who oppose the gospel should therefore feel that they cannot prevent the salvation of Christians, and should be alarmed lest they be found “fighting against God.” (Albert Barnes) |
