Exaltist Good to meet you...
I reply: The scriptures tell us "Until the Moon Fails"! I think there will be another asteroid but this time hitting the Moon that in turn will destroy the earth!
Psalm 72:7
In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more...
Thank you, Etritonakin!
There exists a clear inconsistency with scripture if one accepts the view that the Messiah is a human being (and not God).
IMO.
I can't believe I have never considered this question.
I had just assumed that Jews thought the Messiah was "the Lord" -but that they did not believe Christ to be "the Lord" who came first as a man -then will again later in power and glory.
I also had the idea they thought Melchizedek would be...
The "Spirit of God", is God. It requires a "sanctuary", a home. The final home/sanctuary, will be "Israel" (Ezekiel 37:28) with "David" as their "king" (Ezekiel 37:24-25), and their home, will be the land given to Jacob. When Yeshua was on earth, he was the home of the Spirit of God. All who...
His coming TO earth with the saints is apparent. His coming in the sky to take us to be where He is in the sky with Him will be apparent to believers. I am not sure what the world will see.
When He returns TO the earth the mount splits etc. That is long after the Rapture.
Again that is talking...
Actually, you have to be careful with translations there...
While the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night, the actual return of Christ will be quite apparent. Many will not know it is about to happen until it happens -or what is actually happening while it happens -but THAT it is...
Yeshua's referral to the "tribulation" (apocalypse) when the "sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky" is a reference to Isaiah 13;10, Ezek 32:7, & Joel2:10. As for the "Christian" followers of Paul, of course, they are following the...
Yes, every eye will see him, see him with the mind's eye.
Think of Micah 1:3 when God turns His attention to Earth. It was Not a literal seeing.
Not a literal seeing but as Jesus became invisible when ascending to heaven in cloud cover.
The ' we ' of 1 Thessalonians 4 is about Jesus' spiritual...
I do not disagree with what was actually said and meant. You have to take it with all other verses -"line upon line, precept upon precept".
Christ was speaking to those specifically on Earth then not seeing his flesh and blood body any more.
Rev1:7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye...
The immediate context:
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in...
End Times, and the final events will be rapid ones:
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear...
You do know that you left out the most important 3 verses in Matthew 24.
That will plainly show when all those things will happen..
Do you know what those 3 verses are in Matthew 24?
Antiochus set himself above the laws of men and blasphemed God.

Daniel 7:25. He shall speak great words against the Most High — Symmachus reads, He shall speak great words, as the Most...
I agree with your general approach of making references to Hebrew Scriptures that clearly use similar metaphors. Jesus throughout His Ministry uses allegorical stories and draws on Jewish Scriptures to convey spiritual truths. The themes of justice and judgment are a strong part of the Olivet...
The immediate context:
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Not fully, but they sure did not know much.
And people did, many probably still do thing
shooting stars are stars falling.
I so often see the thing about "context" that I
tend to think of it as a way of saying
"I am unassailably correct". Maybe you dont mean
it so, but, you know what I mean...
It's quite plausible that Jesus did say this. However, it is unlikely that he meant this literally as he is using Hebrew scripture here, which was meant to be metaphorical to begin with. He really is looking at Ezekiel 32:7, as well as a few other verses such as Amos 8:9 and Joel2:10-11. He's...
Look up:
May 19, 1780 - called "the Great Dark Day".
[Great Dark Day, AD 1780, May 19 - Sun]
Joel2:10 KJB - "... the sun ... shall be dark ..."
Joel 2:31 KJB - "The sun shall be turned into darkness ..."
Matthew 24:29 KJB - "... shall the sun be darkened ..."
Mark 13:24 KJB - "... the sun...
There really are no inconsistencies between the prophecies of the old and new -and my take on them is based on them.
People today seem think in terms of harps and halos, but both the old and new testaments describe a less-than-pleasant (to say the least) process of first making people governABLE...
