Partial Preterism and Futurism Continued

There's been a long line of popes, while the "beast" will be only one man. No other man can defeat the "beast", but the popes were defeated many times. Napoleon imprisoned one pope at Avignon. The popes kept largely silent while Hitler & Mussolini were in power. And NO pope has ever entered a temple in Jerusalem, nor had a miracle-working false prophet as his deputy.

 

Rev. 19:19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 

Why do that when we have Daniel 9 & Rev. 13, some fifty verses of Scripture altogether referring to him?

 

How can you continue to say that, in the face of the Scripture which proves it wrong?

And Jesus never claimed to have a monopoly on covenant-making. A treaty between nations is a covenant. A covenant is any compact between parties.

 

The orthodox Jews simply don't accept the New Covenant , nor Jesus as Messiah. They fully intend to carry on with the old system of sacrifices when they have their new temple built.

 

Yes, nearly all prominent ECF held to pre Mil views, and they no doubt got that from the Apostles while they were still alive!

 

No, it's the prince of those people. Here's proof:

Daniel 9:Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

JESUS' covenant is FOR EVER, not just for one week.

 

Don't know that. It may not come down then. But the Jews WILL build a new temple in Jerusalem.

 

John ca

me in the power of Elijah, and was the forerunner of the Messiah, but many believe that the real Elijah would be on of those 2 witnesses in revelation...

 

The antichrist will make peace between arab muslims and the Jews..

 

That is why I do not agree with most Reformed that the Papacy was/is the Antichrist, maybe the False prophet!

 

The everlasting covenant - the relationship expressed as - "I will be their God & they will be my people" has been running from creation,
BUT
the basis for that covenant was obedience:

Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”​

Messiah was the only one who lived in perfect obedience, & could confirm the covenant by his obedience & blood.

Why only one week? Jesus' ministry lasted half of one week, & the Apostles confirmed the covenant for a further half week until -
the Jews who rejected their Messiah were declared "uncircumcised" by the Spirit-inspired preaching of Stephen. The covenant was confirmed for a week with the Jews but did not then end. The Gospel was opened to uncircumcised Gentiles & runs on with Jew & Gentile, by faith, for all eternity.

 

Rom 11:25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

 

True. The Gospel has NEVER been closed to Israel & the Jews.

What do you understand by: the fullness of the Gentiles has come in?
AND

Luke 21:And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.​

What does Scripture say will then happen?

 

Until the time of the rapture event, or until the Beginning of ther Great tribulation for Israel!
