By Jeff A. Benner The phrase "Son of man" appears multiple times in the Old and New Testaments (-+90). In the Old Testament, the Hebrew phrase אדם בן (ben adam) translates as "son of man" and is used for a person, any named or unnamed person. In the Greek New Testament, the phrase "son of … Continue reading Yeshua the Son of Man – Bar Enosh
By Tim Warner 4windsfellowships.net The best kept secret in the universe is the time of the arrival from heaven of the King of kings and Lord of lords – Jesus the Anointed King. He is coming to overthrow all the kingdoms of this world, to utterly destroy the wicked, to resurrect and grant immortality and … Continue reading Sealed until the Time of the End – Jesus Return
For most of my Christian life, I have accepted the unanimous chorus of conservative Christian chronologists, including Ussher, that the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 total 490 years, and that the first 69 weeks span the time from Artaxerxes’ command to Nehemiah until the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I also held Sir Robert Anderson’s theory … Continue reading More Details About Daniels 70 Weeks Prophesy
The only way in which the force of the above can be avoided is by saying that none of the descriptions of conflict affect the Church but only Jews who come to faith after the tribulation begins. We could then ask: If Jesus does not mean Christians when he says “you” in Matthew 24, how would we know that anything in the gospels addressed to “you” (disciples) applies to Christians? The theory that Christians are not addressed in Matthew 24:15ff (instructions for going through the great tribulation) sounds very much like an attempt to divorce Christians from what Jesus taught them in the gospels — indeed some ultra-dispensationalists have maintained that none of the material in the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) is for Christians! When Jesus tells the twelve to go into the world and preach everywhere we all take this as a command to us. It was given to Jewish Christians but the body of Christ constitutes their descendants. What is said to them applies directly to us. When Jesus addresses believers telling them how to cope during the tribulation, this must mean that they must expect to be on earth during the tribulation.
God will, however, disclose the Advent of His Son to His faithful servants who have a heart like Daniel’s (as displayed in his prayer in the ninth chapter), those who faithfully and willingly strive to keep God’s commandments with a repentant heart, those who “do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”[21] God stated plainly upon whom He takes notice: “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.”
NB: It takes time to study and understand all the end time events and background. We all have a specific leaning towards one or another explanation which might have some weak points. No one person has a complete understanding of the Old Testament backdrop to the book of Revelation which in my view is needed … Continue reading A Celestial Court Operates During the Tribulation
March 3, 2022 by Tim Warner 4windsfellowships.net Many so-called prophecy experts have predicted that Russia will invade Israel just prior to the last seven-year time of tribulation. Some of them are now sounding the alarm, most notably Pat Robertson, given Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. They interpret the “God-Magog” war of Ezekiel 38-39 as occurring prior … Continue reading Ten Toes Rising Now Revelation 17:12-14
