I totally understand..

There’s sure some sobering congruencies in all that. Impressive.

Thanks.

Good points, imho.

Thx.

Depends on what one means by ‘many’ and “Christians.”

Lots of folks who go by the name are fairly clueless.

Even a lot of authentic Christians seem to be pretty clueless about prophetic things.

However, I believe those intune and awake will know the basic outline of what’s going on in the spirit realm and otherwise.

Just some Spiritual Food for thought based on that Scripture 2010 to 2017 would be 7 years taking us to 2017

70 years of Israel’s exsistence by the Hebrew Calendar?

I dis-agree with you..respectively....

Time will tell but in the meantime, help me out. I certainly wouldn't want to be wrong on such an important topic.

[TaraP]

I agree Quix, however many people on these Prophetic Threads seem to think it’s New Age Fortune Telling....

Can be frustrating sometimes....

[Quix]

We do see through a glass darkly.

Yet we are challenged of The Lord to study, watch, prepare, be ready.

[fso301]

I'm sorry, but where would that be?

Throughout this thread.

My point is that the linked article stresses the need for a literal interpretation of scripture to understand that Dan 9:26 has been fulfilled. The author then proceeded to explain in detail why without once addressing Jerusalem experiencing a flood as described in the verse (Dan 9:26).

The thread creator (TaraP) then interpreted flood to mean an illuminating light event. When pressed on the subject, the thread creator then interpreted flood as meaning a "flood of knowledge".

Such interpretations may be ok but they are not what one would call literal interpretations and the author stated a literal interpretation was required.

The fatal flaw in this illuminating/knowledge literal interpretation of the word flood is that Zech 14:4-8 says there will be no light and that waters will flow from the mount of Olives to the east and west.

Therefore, in order to not have Dan 9:26 not contradict Zech 14:4-8, a literal interpretation of the word flood in Dan 9:26 should mean a water event and Dan 9:26 can not have been fulfilled as the author claims.

Thanks, Quix; I'm aware of your assertions. I'm just amazed you stayed away from the caps lock key.

Sure thing! :-)

Other than the final resurrection of the dead, which all SANE (orthodox, normal, creedal) Christians look forward to, I believe the Bible is a book of fulfilled prophecies. I take Rev. 1:1-3 very literally, for example. The only two "outstanding" things on the menu are (A) an ongoing process, described in Psalm 110 and in I Cor. 15:20-30, of the King ruling and subjugating His enemies one by one, and (B) one last big event -- the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting, amen.

Since the King is now ruling, we can face the future with confidence, joy, and faith that relies upon and rejoices in, the goodness and power of God, no matter what kinds of temporary setbacks arise.

It's strange, but for the last 1000+ years, the fortune tellers, who attempted to use God's Word as a tool of divination, always read it in such as way as to place themselves at the apex of history. After all, how would God dare do anything as important as the Second Coming, while leaving someone as crucial as ME out of His plans? You can see why this perspective hath its appeals to some element of our fallen humanity! Yet all of these prognosticators have had one thing in common -- they've been wrong, and eventually died.

LOL!

All these predictions and they don’t even have their fake temple built yet, so how can Antichrist stand in it?

(Iran is probably anxious for the temple to get built so they can bomb it)

70 years of Israel’s exsistence by the Hebrew Calendar?

Moses in Psalm 90 describes the length of one's life as seventy years.

Israel the nation, will be seventy in 2018.

I was asking you to reveal your own eschatalogical point of view. If you choose not to, that's fine. (I'm classic premillennial, uncommitted concerning the timing of the rapture and the nature of the tribulation.)

As far as "with a flood" is concerned, it is well within the normal (or literal) method of interpeting prophecy for such an expression to be considered metaphorically. Prophetic passages in both testaments abound with such imagery. Total literalism would not be a suitable means of interpreting scripture in any case. Where to interpret figuratively and where not to is, of course, an open question.

[Genoa]

I don't know if I would say that I have to be at the apex of history. I do believe that Christ teaches all of us (not just his own contemporaries) that his eschatological coming is to be considered imminent. That is, it could be at any time. But not that it must be immediate. Just that it could be. The point is that we are to be prepared, ready, and waiting. (I trust you won't be disappointed if he comes before you die. I know I won't.)

[Genoa]

Good night. Pleasant dreams to one and all.

[Halgr]

I agree.....this will not float.

Anyone read the news?

Watch TV?

Um....its just not there.
