Check your freepmail. Regarding endtimes, there is much that is “out there” is either plain crazy stuff or just recycled teaching. Recycled — I don’t need to hear for the upteenth time that the Tribulation is seven years long, the Seven years begin with the covenant initiated by the AntiChrist, etc, etc. All of which I believe. But where are the hidden nuggets and overlooked gleanings?
What I like about Stephen Armstrong, the podcast teacher I mentioned in the freepmail, is that he brings up more from neglected OT passages. For instance he shows how Isaiah 63 is almost entirely end-times material. In which case Christ does not arrive initially to the rescue at the Mt. Olives but combats a contingent of the AntiChrist forces at Bozrah/Petra in Jordan, then proceeds 72 miles northward to finish the job in Jerusalem.
He contends that the believing Jewish remnant is held out in Bozrah, but there is a different group of Jewish holdouts in Jerusalem. There, the ultaothodox Jews who haven’t yet come to Christ are resting the AntiChrist. They will eventually come to faith so that all remaining Jews will be saved. As He approaches the city with bloodstained garments, the ultra orthodox come to realize their terrible mistake of the past.
[Tribulation is seven years long, the Seven years begin with the covenant initiated by the AntiChrist]
Yep, I’m there too. I say it a lot because there’s a lot of people out there that haven’t heard. But yes, Isaiah 63 is awesome.
Thanks for your note and God’s blessings to you.
