61 | sabbath day | Col 2:16 | bible believer | 199333 | ||
The Hebrew word sabbath means "the day of rest (or ceasing)" and entails a ceasing or resting from labor. The institution of the Old Testament Sabbath, a "perpetual covenant ... for the people of Israel" (Exodus 31:16-17), was in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days (Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11). Originally, the term "Sabbath" denoted Saturday, the seventh day of the week (or, more precisely, the period from Friday sunset to Saturday nightfall). Under the "new covenant", New Testament Christians are not bound to keep the sabbath as Jesus IS our sabbath (rest). The custom of observing Sunday as the sabbath day as many Christians do, most likely came from the 1st century church who gathered and worshipped on Sunday, in commemoration of Christ's resurrection on Sunday. Since Christ is our sabbath rest and he lives within us, EVERY day is really the sabbath for Christians. Col 2:16 -17 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. |

62 | Bibical prophecies about the endtimes. | Revelation | bible believer | 199111 | ||
The preterist view regards Revelation as a symbolic picture of early church conflicts which have already been fulfilled. This view denies the future predictive quality of most of the book of Revelation. In varying degrees, this view combines the allegorical and symbolic interpretation with the concept that Revelation does not deal with specific future events. The preterist movement essentially teaches that all the end times prophecies of the New Testament were fulfilled in A.D. 70 when the Romans attacked and destroyed Jerusalem and Israel. |

63 | Is matt 24:30 a coming to God's throne? | Mark 14:62 | bible believer | 199016 | ||
hi there bunky: good question. i don't think that matthew 24:30 is really an allusion to daniel 7:13. mark 14:62 definitely is (both mark and daniel are referring to the Father's throne in heaven)but the verse in matthew has to be looked at in context. the context is referring to the end of the age (on earth) and refers to events all taking place on earth. context also tells you that the "nations" see him coming on the clouds. well, the "nations" are on the earth as well and i think this indicates that the matthew "coming" is to the earth, as opposed to heaven. hope this helps. | ||||||
64 | daniel 11:37 translation differences | Dan 11:37 | bible believer | 197960 | ||
again, i apologize for the lack of clarity in my question. i am not asking whether one would determine the antichrist to be jewish vs. gentile. i think that is a very debatable topic. what i am questioning is the substantive difference between the niv and the kjv translations. essentially, the kjv says he is a jew and the niv (as well as the nasb, esv, etc) says he's a gentile. how could two reputable translations say the opposite thing? thanks for your "two cents". :-) celebrating His birth, biblebeliever |

65 | daniel 11:37 translation differences | Dan 11:37 | bible believer | 197959 | ||
thanks so much for taking the time to comment but i must apologize for not making my question more clear. i have used the revelation verses to support my belief regarding the antichrist being a gentile. that isn't the issue (by the way, in this case the niv and the nasb are in perfect agreement.....its the kjv that is "different" and indicates jewish heritage of the antichrist). my question was regarding the magnitude of the discrepancy between the two bible translations. i understand difference between translations (word for word- thought for thought, etc) but i was very surprised to see what i perceived to be as a contradiction between the two translations and wondered if there was any reasonable explanation of this that i had not yet uncovered. that question remains unanswered!! | ||||||
66 | daniel 11:37 translation differences | Dan 11:37 | bible believer | 197949 | ||
in a discussion i recently had with a friend we spoke of the antichrist and whether or not he would/could be a jew or a gentile. although not necessarily an important topic, it was an interesting discussion. at one point we both read daniel 11:37 and i (using my niv bible) said that from the reference to "gods of his fathers", i would assume the antichrist would be a gentile. my friend referenced his bible (kjv) which in daniel 11:37 references the antichrist as having no regard for the "God of his fathers". this makes the reference sound as if the antichrist is jewish. i'm wondering if anyone else would consider this difference in translations to be as substantially different as i consider this to be? | ||||||
