Anyway, back to the subject of the thread, it's is awesome that we are that close- that the Jews are training the priests who will be serving in the rebuilt Temple, and, according to the Temple Institute, they have most if not all of the vessels ready for use in the Temple once it's rebuilt and the sacrifices begin.
Christ is coming soon!
They couldn’t even manage to mangle those Scriptures to fit 70 AD with a magic shoe horn. What hubris and nonsense.
It’s insulting to their own intelligence to spout such idiocies.
YUP. Plenty exciting, for sure.
Globalism alone precludes the 70AD nonsense.
I really was shocked hereon to find out there were folks that seriously messed up about Bible prophecy. I’d ran into some Lutherans on the mission field who spouted such stuff. However, they read the Scriptures again with a more open mind and realized they were wrong.
A lot of the characters hereon probably haven’t seen an open mind within a hundred miles for many decades.
1 John 2
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
The antichrist and other antichrists were already around when John wrote his epistle.
John was a Hebrew; therefore, it is probable that the "us" John refers to in 1 John 2:19 is likely His brethren that followed Jesus.
1 John 4
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
The "spirit of antichrist" is equated to a "spirit of error". The antichrist represents an error - false teaching - that was (and IS) being spread.
Antichrist = erroneous doctrine. Antichrist primarily represents a set of false teachings, not simply some future possible world religious/political figure, or something inserted under the skin. Those accepting the error promoted by the "spirit of error" or "spirit of antichrist" are unintentional victims of the spirit of antichrist.
So, the "antichrist" was (and is) a doctrine or set of doctrines that were already being spread in the latter part of the first century as false teachers betrayed the truth.
I can never get a straight answer from these people on who the Antichrist was in 70 AD.
Who have you actually read? Just wondering.
