Forum: The Eschaton Archive

It's been a long while since I have been around this forum, and it is nice to be back. In the meantime we have left our church (that we loved dearly) due to irreconcilable differences and complete insanity on the part of the pastor. So, we have been visiting various churches in the area over the...

I have been studying Luther's writings on the issue of military involvement in wars against Islam and how his perspective on the matter impacted his eschatology. He really did have a lot of very good and sound things to say & was not the hawkish kook that many critics portray. He definitely taught...

It was something Bob said in another thread that got me wondering about this. He said something about Jesus' government in the one world government thread. What would His goverment look like? Be like? Personally I dont care much about government what will happen will happen, I just pray it...

What is the sign of Christ's coming?

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a...

A quote from the op I borrowed the links from: links

I'm confident that all those who subscribe to this forum would agree that the Doctrine of Purgatory, is a complete denial of the Gospel. As our brother Paul the Apostle in Galations 1:6-9 taught. In fact, Paul repeated twice his Anethema, on those who would promulgate a false gospel. Should we not...

I've been struggling to understand Ezekiel' s temple vision (Ezekiel 40- 48 ) and the sacrifices that seem to be predicted in the Millennium (Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20). A few to look over. Prophecies of a Millennial Temple: Joel 3:18; Isaiah 2:3; Isaiah 60:13; Daniel 9:24; Haggai...

Given all of the recent news, I'm wondering what you all think about the place of Israel today, or whether they even have a place? The obvious first question is does the "holy land" still belong to Israel? I have heard some use Galations 3 to promote the idea that the Abrahamic covenant is...

Hi. I have a question for some of those here who might be knowledgeble in hebrew/aramaic. Can someone give the exact word for word translation for Daniel 9:25-27, without adding any "extra words" , using the same word for each hebrew word found in the rest of the OT even if it doesn't make "sense"...

Since the thread was closed, can anyone address these questios please: I have not studied the issue. I just automatically believed in eternal conscious punishing for ever. Unending conscious torment. One reason I immediately deny annihilation is because I automatically equate the teaching...

Please feel free to add thoughts and views to this topic and even expand on it but I would like to keep it on the cloud, reaping/Elect and horses if possible, and I may add unto it as time allows, as it is impossible to put up all scriptures related to these 2 events in one post. This isn't about...

Greeting in Jesus Christ and God the Father, who is ever praised. I want mainly to show where "thrones" are used in various parts of the bible. In the OT, God is shown judging His people and "thrones" being set up. One interesting passage showing this is in Psalm 122 and depending on "translation"...

http://www.ncbf.net/PDF/Matthew_24.pdf please read and share comments. i particularly want to discuss the implications of what he says and discuss how one would answer the issue of why the prediction of two different events (70 AD and the second coming) would be interspersed so much within the...

Looking at both Isaiah 52 and Daniel 9, one appears to represent a "spiritual" city and one a "physical" city I am trying to identify the "holy city" mentioned in chapt 11 of revelation. It does indeed appear to be Jerusalem, but symbolically it appears to be the "City of Saints", as both this...
