21 | The coming kingdom of antichrist? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134231 | ||
EdB, Thanks much. Are there any further scriptures to support the idea of a seven year tribulation, or is Daniel 9:24-27 the only reference? I've generally held to a 3 1/2 year trib myself. I personally believe that the terminology of a "seven-year reign" would be more appropriate, versus that of a "seven-year trib", insofar as tribulation only occurs for 3 1/2 years in the bible. - Revelation 13 5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. (NAS95) Revelation 11 2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. 3 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

23 | The coming kingdom of antichrist? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134233 | ||
Tim Moran, It is my impression that the second verse that I had listed here reinforces the literal veracity of the first verse mentioned. Hence, the idea that the man Antichrist will undergo an actual physical resurrection, as opposed to simply imitated. A few of the Old Testament saints (Enoch and Elijah, some say Moses) had achieved physical immortality themselves. Why then would it be wondrous if the man Antichrist also possessed physical immortality like these others? These types of things only seem fantastic to us, because we have never seen them with our own eyes. Yet, our own personal experiences generally fall far short, when it comes to interpreting the greater spiritual reality around us. - Revelation 13 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; (NAS95) Revelation 13 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. (NAS95) - Further, although it is common for governments to be referred to as beasts or statues in the bible, these illustrations are commonly followed by more specific descriptions that refer to individual people as well. - Daniel 2 31 "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. 32 "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, (NAS95) Daniel 2 37 "You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory; 38 and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

24 | How is the term "morning star" used? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134235 | ||
EdB, I guess I've seen Satan as once truly possessing the bright light of the morning star, hence the former name of "Lucifer". However, the name "Lucifer" (morning star) was lost when he fell, and the name of "Satan" (accuser) was afterward acquired. Are you suggesting that "Satan" (accuser) is still "Lucifer" (morning star)? I thought that title was lost for a lesser one. Granted, he still possesses a psuedo-glory. - Isaiah 14 12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

29 | Lockman and NASB representation? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135418 | ||
Tim, One of my threads was pulled from the boards, although I'm not precisely certain which of the forum rules that I had violated. Only moderators possess that authority. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

30 | Lockman and NASB representation? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135422 | ||
Kalos, My original question was: "Are the interpretive applications of scripture, as presented by the moderators of the Study Bible Forum, representative of the views of the Lockman Foundation and the translators of the NASB?" In response, Tim wrote: "What moderators my friend? This is an unmoderated site!" By moderator, I mean any who have the authority to restrict a thread. And yes, it would be more proper for me to say that one of my previous threads had been restricted from appearing on the homepage. I had also placed what I thought was a valid follow-up in the question board, but it was stealthily removed within the space of an hour, before anyone could answer it. Thus it will effectively become dead. I'm just not precisely certain which of the four forum guidelines that I had violated, that my first thread would be restricted or the second question "removed", as the moderator had put it. I seem to be at a loss. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Tim, My original question was: "Are the interpretive applications of scripture, as presented by the moderators of the Study Bible Forum, representative of the views of the Lockman Foundation and the translators of the NASB?" However, you stated: 1. "'Moderator' has a specific meaning when it comes to forums and boards. A moderator reads every post and decides whether or not to allow the post. This forum does not have a moderator." Perhaps then I should use a term other than moderator, although I'm not sure what term I should use. Perhaps "enforcer"? I think we're beginning to play semantics here, but well enough. - 2. "However, abuse reports can be filed on a post and a thread can then be restricted, but not removed. As Kalos pointed out, restriction simply keeps the thread from appearing on the homepage - it does not remove it from the forum. It can still be searched for, read, and posted to. Thus, this site is unmoderated." I'm still not precisely certain which of the four forum guidelines I had abused. Any remote ideas? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Tim, You stated: "I don't know! :-) You may feel my point was semantics, but I just wanted to make sure that all the readers are aware that this is not a moderated forum. :-)" I don't know either. :-) So the four forum guidelines are unmoderated yet enforced? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

35 | Covenants in effect today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135504 | ||
Emmaus, I guess that I often see people getting the Old Testament covenants mixed up with the New Covenant of Christ's blood. Instead of interpreting the Old Testament through the greater revelation of the New Testament, I often see the laws and rules of the Old Testament projected by people over the New Testament. A reverse eclipse often takes place, of sorts. - As far as the Apocrypha might be concerned, I view the Book of Enoch as a valid apocryphal book, insofar as the Book of Jude quotes from it. Jude 1 14 It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

36 | identifying modalism: church prevalence? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135538 | ||
Hank, There is certainly an innumerable score of heresies which litter our world, and indeed many have infiltrated, if not originated, from our own organized religious systems. Modalism would largely be a succession then of Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Mere manifestations of a greater cosmic God? Their are weaknesses in the doctrine, certainly, assuming we hold to the veracity of scripture. Subordinationism then places a ranking among the members of the Triune Godhead. And Tritheism asserts that there are three separate gods. Okay, that makes sense. Now, in regards to Trinity (Triunity), I've been told that it is not something that we can readily comprehend with our finite minds, but rather it can only be apprehended. Although, I'm not quite certain of the differentiation. I also view the Holy Spirit as possessing distinct personality, even as the Holy Spirit spoke with a direct voice to the early church. Acts 13 2 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. (NAS95) - Although, I have many times directly experienced the flow of supernatural energies from my torso and limbs, I have been careful to differentiate between the personality of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit. I can easily understand how some can reduce God to a mere energy force in this sense, if they are held sway to a lesser discernment of God's divine nature. As to where in the world that I get all of my complex questions, I have been myself saturated with supernatural experience, that triggers a more delicate sensitivity to heresies within the church. I engage in a practice of fasting and wake extension, which accelerates this supernatural sensitivity. In other words, amid directly encountering a number of the members of the various archonic species, I find that I must more specifically isolate the ways that God operates. The local church has been hard-put to provide sound education concerning the intricacies of doctrine. Thus I must investigate more thouroughly, in this sense. Thank you for your clarifications on this matter of doctrine. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

37 | Am I bound by the Eight Covenants today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135603 | ||
Searcher, I have to agree. I really don't interpret Genesis 1:26-28 as a covenant, but rather as a command. I think many people would like to look at God's commands as covenants, so that if they don't choose to make such a covenant with God, they can escape having to obey the commands. In a sense, covenants are optional. If a person doesn't make the particular covenant, then they won't have to obey the stipulations therein. Whereas, we actually don't have a say whether we want to obey God's laws or not. The law will be enforced, whether we agree to it or not. Then again, maybe Scofield is interpreting Genesis 1:26-28 as a covenant of marriage versus a law of marriage. Adam and Eve are commanded to rule and multiply the earth. Is this optional or mandated? Is it covenant or law? And must we fulfill it today? Must we multiply and rule the earth? Genesis 1 26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (NAS95) - As far as covenants which are specifically made with Israel as opposed to the church, one may possibly argue that the church is spiritual Israel, and therefore all of the covenants originally made with the nation of Israel now apply to spiritual Israel (the church). Romans 9 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; (NAS95) Romans 2 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God. (NAS95) - Further, I again agree that the covenant is not the same as the law. Again, covenants are optional. If I don't make the covenant, then I won't experience the potential penalties and/or benefits thereof. Deuteronomy 23 21 "When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the LORD your God will surely require it of you. (NAS95) Ecclesiastes 5 5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. (NAS95) However, this is not so with the Law. I cannot choose which laws to obey and which not to obey, even If I can pick and choose what covenants that I wish to bind myself under. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
