Joel 2:31-32, is about the "day of the LORD" whereas those "on Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be those who escape/survivors". "At that time, I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, and I will gather all the nations to the valley of judgment" (Joel 3:1-2). That would be...
ERROR, (Joel 2:31-32) and (Mt 24:29) has nothing to do with each other., both are two different setting. as a matter of fact, the Son of Man came in his kingdom on the day of Pentecost. per Joel2:28-32, in Spirit, and in POWER. (Mt 24:29) is yet to come.

You're saying that "day" has only ONE definition? A lot of folks would disagree w/ you:
day, twenty-four hours, twenty-four hour period, 24-hour interval, solar day, mean solar
day noun time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis "two days later they left"; "they put on...
This reminds me of this history.
Yes, the Jewish leaders claim authority over the writings of God, while not obeying those writing, but rather trying to withhold it from the people, some of whom have access to it, and are willing to make it known to the common people.
Hence Jesus' words...
When I refer to the Holy Spirit as a Person, (as I believe the Bible does), I do not mean a “physical, material person” which obviously cannot be poured out.
The scriptures state that God is Spirit, so Person refers to an
individual persona with identifying attributes and distinct...
Thank you for your reply and you are Not alone in your thinking.
Greek grammar rules I find allows a neuter "it" to be in male gender although remaining a neuter "it".
Even in English we can refer to a car or a ship as a 'she' although they remain a neuter ''it".
Persons (male or female) are Not...
You might want to read up on the prophecy regarding the buildup to the "day of the LORD" in Joel2:28-32. On the other hand, if you were anointed with the Spirit of God, and God knows everything, you would be like Elijah, and know everything God wants you to know.
Ah... you said "priests" but you were actually thinking "preachers." There are actually a great many Mormon women who preach the gospel, and they don't preach to just other women, but to men, too. They just aren't "priests" or "priestesses."
Actually, the Book of Mormon says something along...
Women were up there strutting their stuff with the men in the early Christian churches..:)-
The evangelist Philip had four daughters who were preachers;
The early Christian sect in Phrygia was led by Montanus and two preachers, Priscilla and Maximilla..
And Paul paid glowing tributes to women -...
Paul didn’t see a vision of Jesus Christ, he had a conversation with Jesus. Then there are visions and dreams from God as well, these are described many times in Scripture, ex. Joseph, Daniel,Peter.
““And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy...
Wiki is your ‘go to’ for expert advice on scripture....? :facepalm:
Beware of those who laugh the loudest......”he who laughs last...laughs best”.......isn’t that right?
Perhaps it is God who gets the last laugh.....?
And perhaps you need to stop pretending to know what the Bible...
The crux of the law and the prophets and the testimony of Yeshua, is the kingdom of God/heaven, both in a spiritual and physical sense, depending on the time frame. The kingdom is based on laws, and the breaking of those laws results in judgment, such as the "day of the Lord" (Joel2:28-32)...
John 14:22,23 says that "anyone" loves Jesus, He and the Father will come and make their abode with them.
If you want to please God then you need the Holy Spirit and to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8: 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

To me the ' we ' (or 'us') are those who will have that first or earlier resurrection to heaven. This 'we/us' is Not applying to all followers.
Jesus was still alive on Earth at the time of John 14:22-23 and those particular followers had a particularly close relationship with Jesus.
Disciples...
Joel seems to be talking about a future event in which ALL flesh, that is, even those who are NOT Jews will have God's spirit (which seems in line with the messianic prophecy that in those days, all nations will recognize God - Zech 14:9). Notice that in the verse before, God just said that...
Fair point. I accept that Jewish scholars are divided over whether this passage refers to an individual or to the nation as a whole.
The problem I have with interpreting Isaiah 53 as referring to the nation is that to do so one has to assume that Jews already have the Spirit of God upon them...
Why not take these signs in the heavens literally? As I recall in The Kitab-i-Iqan, Baha’u’llah wrote that the signs were fulfilled figuratively as well as literally.
Acts 2:17-21And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons...
This maybe changing the subject:
And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My...

There were no Popes in original Christianity so this list means nothing to anyone but Catholics.
There are many Popes in that list who were very immoral men. Not fitting representatives of Christ at all.
Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom, which he used to preach...
