Subject: Don't understand Revelation and 1 Cor 15 |
Bible Note: I wrote: - “If you think that the Ezekiel Temple will be located in Jerusalem then you have not read Ezekiel 40-48 through. You simply pick out verses that suit your case. Ezekiel 40-48 specifically cites his Temple as being outside Jerusalem. I suggest you reread it for yourself. See Ezekiel 40.2 where it was on a high mountain with the city to the south.” Holmes reply: Ezekiel 40:2 – 3 “In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south there was a structure like a city. So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway.” My reply It is no good just citing a Scripture, you have to demonstrate that it says what you mean. You are assuming that ‘there’ means the city. But in fact it means the high mountain. It is a repetitive phrase typical of the Old Testament. ‘So he brought me there’ is referring back to ‘he brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain’. Now you do not have to accept my word for it. The ground plan is made plain in Ezekiel 45. Holmes says Please note: The earth will undergo tremendous changes prior to Christ return. Revelation 16: 18-20 And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. My reply: If you had said AT Christ's return I would have agreed with you. Great changes indeed. No more mountains (so how can the Temple be on a mountain?), the islands are probably also to be seen as having disappeared, or at the best moved hundreds of miles. Every city in the world is affected by it. Babylon is divided into three parts. Have you considered what other catastrophes would follow? The huge tsunamis. The great floods. Do you really think that mankind could survive a catastrophe on such a major scale? An even more vivid description is found in Revelation 6. 12-17. There even the heavens are rolled up like a scroll and the stars fall from Heaven. Do you notice when it takes place? ‘The great Day of their wrath is come and who will be able to stand’. It is in fact describing in vivid terms the coming judgment at the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. So no they don’t survive it. It is the Day of wrath. The end of time. Nothing could follow this. Revelation 6 is in fact the description of world history from the first coming of Christ to the end of time. So yes there will be great changes. Mankind will not survive them. But of course any knowledgeable scholar will point out that this is apocalyptic. It is not inended to be taken literally. That is why Revelation is called ‘the Apocalypse’. |
