    Rainbow Discovery – Finding Jesus

    Let’s go! Study one is called, 'Jesus - the key to understanding.' On the first page is a stunning picture of Lake Matheson (NZ) This glacial lake is so reflective that, if you turn the picture over, it’s hard to tell the difference. Only a simple picture, but it illustrates the opening words...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    Commenting on three of WPM’s points together with your answers. Indeed, the "Messianic Kingdom" foretold in the Prophets is undeniable. The classic example is Daniel 2:44. Which kingdom do you think John the Baptist was referring to when he heralded, “The Kingdom of God is at hand?” An...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    “Suck up?” WPM and I have our various topic interests and consider them. I was referencing post #3 on this thread. I never saw anything unchristian. Somewhat pointed perhaps, but not abusive. Substantial refutations are hard on my brain. :oops: But give me a link and I’ll select 1 or 2...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    Time for you to read WPM’s replies to you slowly and thoughtfully.

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Two witnesses equals the 'Church'. Amen! 1260 days equals the church age. Hmmm hmmx1: Let me chew on that.

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Problem with futurism (and your variety of Amil) is that people will be able to predict, literally to the day, Jesus' second coming. (My definition) The ‘Beast’ rising from the sea of nations is the aggregation of world power into empires – the end result of secular human government...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    I see the 3 1/2 years (or 1260 days) as imagery from the old Hebrew calendar, and representing a short time. So how do you see the sixty minute reigns?

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Robert. I am amil and most of my friends on this forum are amil. In many cases we have come out of pre-mil backgrounds, and feel strongly (vehement is the wrong word) because we feel a sense of having been deceived about it earlier in our Christian walk. When I was first saved we were fed a...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Do you want a even handed Bible study about it, with the two main views? I do written studies for home groups. Attached please find, 'Things to Come' to print out. I hope you don't find it too simple.

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    God's time periods are Sabbatical. 1000 is not Sabbatical. If Israel's date was irrelevant, they would not have been mentioned in the historical books. The formula synchronising the kings is as shown over and over in scripture: “In the (x)th year of king (A) of Israel, king (B) of Judah began...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    Like you did with the southern kings. I just tallied up the reigns of the northern kings from Jeroboam to Hoshea and it came to 241 years. We are not supposed to do that of course, because it fails to take into account any co-regent reigns. That is where you made your mistake. You need to go...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    Ussher was wrong, and I concur with you that there are a lot of wild guesses with dates affixed to Adam. But your date is also wrong. Admittedly, I only go back to Abraham, but your dates are wrong during the Hebrew kings era as I have demonstrated in post #99. ‘Boo-eye’ New Zealand slang for...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    On your previous post your figure from Rehoboam to 6th year of Hezekiah equaled 260 years. So, Im not quibbling when I tell you that the reigns of the Northern Kingdom over the same period was 241 years! The implications for your calculation back to Adam is that it might be up the boo-eye. Did...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    Here is an example of a linkage. The end of the northern kingdom is linked to Hezekiah’s sixth year. “In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.” (‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭18‬:‭10‬) So Keraz, could you count (per your understanding) the number of...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion 2?

    Why have you only counted the kings of Judah during the divided kingdom period? Have you not seen the linkages between both nations and how they were supposed to be counted together?
