Subject: Who is Jesus? |
Bible Note: Ross I gave you an opening and you jumped, I said no prophet and you clearly show that there will be a prophet before Christ return. I fact it is two prophets that stand in Jerusalem and convict the world of it’s disbelief in Christ. Notice Jesus was very specific here, he said there would be two, they would be in Jerusalem, the world would see them. Did the Bab do any of this? Why ignore the facts if you seeking the truth? You focus on John the immerser as you like to call him, what was his function? To start a new religion? No to make way for the coming of the Lord Jesus. In fact what were all the prophets did they point to each other? No the pointed to the one that would take away the sins of this world Christ Jesus. Why seek the prophets when you already have the Son of God if your seeking the truth? You focus on the word for lightning “astrape” assumes there is only one translation for a word. Even Strong’s that you so love to quote shows more than one, however the intent is clear it means lightning. I can assure you if you read Greek you will find many secular writers that use the word astrape when they clearly mean lightning. You assume the translators of the Bibles are idiots and the Bab came to set them straight. But your focus is very limited you miss all the other signs, trumpets, crowds gathering, why question one word if your seeking the truth? As for the gathering of birds (vultures, eagles whatever) you seem to want to find some mystical meaning here. Jesus was telling the disciples that His return would NOT be without notice, He then talked about the lightning, and the vultures. If something dies in the desert can you tell it from a distance? Yes, you will see birds circling the body. They are drawn by nature to it. Jesus was saying the same thing when he returns you will know because great crowds will encircle Him they will be drawn by nature. Why seek the mystical if your seeking the truth? Why follow the counterfeit if your seeking the truth? EdB |
