3. THE NEGLECT OF HUMILITY AND BROKENNESS BEFORE GOD.
Assumed? On what basis? Solid biblical interpretations, esp. of things like prophecy, are not built on assumptions.
Not at all - What I am saying is that Luke may be referring to "all the trees" in the same way that God is referring to "all my mountains"... He is giving an extra clue, perhaps, compared to the other Gospels.
The non sequitur was that simply referring to the phrase all my mountains does explain how the phrase, "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near allegedly refers to future Israel. Specifically, what does it mean for all the trees to be budding at the end times? You have not told us that. Luke 21:29 is about the futurist end times, isnt it?
Why is it that we are not to take the statement as a simple parable that Christ was using to explain to His disciples that, just as you can tell the seasons by inspecting the condition of trees, that you can tell the time of the coming of the kingdom of God? That is certainly the way it reads. Then He spoke to them a parable . Yet some folks wish to force it to mean something that the text does not require.
Besides, it is not clear that the phrase all my mountains is referring at all to nations. Why dont we just take them as mountains?
Perhaps that is due to your preconceptions on the topic, rather than the text itself.
Revelation 15:3 Two songs, one for the Jews, and one for the Church.
One of the frustrations here is that it is impossible to critique this style of presentation because the unstated assumptions and presuppositions that leads one to interpret (I use that phrase loosly in this case) the passages in the way you suggest. After all, you have not actually quoted the passage and done a word by word or phrase by phrase walk through in order to come to your conclusion. You have moved from the given to the conclusions without doing any real work. Its as if the conclusion is so obvious that no real work is necessary to prove the conclusion. While the conclusions may be obvious to the adherents to your system, they are not so obvious to everyone else.
For example, take the passage above, Rev. 15:3 and explain how you come to your conclusion. This will demonstrate to all what presuppositions we must adopt in order to arrive at your conclusions.
That the most important part, no?
What a grandiose example of another huge pile of stinking REPLACEMENTARIAN et al rationalized hypocrisy.
Most of the Dispies hereon for any serious length of time have learned the hard way that REPLACEMENTARIANS et al VIRTUALLY NEVER bother with doing a shred of the above AT ALL.
And on the rare occasions when they hint in that direction, they never use authentic UNRUBBERIZED BIBLES OR AUTHENTIC UNRUBBERIZED DICTIONARIES OR AUTHENTIC UNRUBBERIZED HISTORIES OR AUTHENTIC UNRUBBERIZED LOGIC TEXTS.
Obviously, roamer, the above protestation is a pile of stinking paper mache dogs.
Evidently it's also an example of another wild haired REPLACEMENTARIAN et al fantasy that OTHER FOLKS SHOULD PLAY BY THEIR RULES but they don't have to bother in the least. REAL IMPRESSIVE, that.
You'll note that the list of Scriptures I posted just above has only resulted in a garbage can gif. Cute.
We should certainly avoid holding our breaths waiting for the kind of response to those Scriptures that you've been chided about failing to 'measure up to.' Gag me with a very big spoon.
Ahhhhhhhhh . . . another post
vividly demonstrating REPLACEMENTARIAN et al’s broken mirrors and wholesale compulsion to misperceive reality.
Looked, to me like the REPLACMENTARIAN et al’s posts have been landing square in the middle of their garbage cans over and over and over!
Goodness!
SOMETHING we can agree on?!
Shocking.
Blow the man down!
Praise God!
Rim shot ...
BTW, THANKS AGAIN
It’s always a joy when
a REPLACEMENTARIAN et al
PARADOXICALLY and obviously MOST UNwittingly
confirms the UNRUBBERIZED BIBLICAL TRUTH
by a derisive post.
And by et al do you mean anyone who's not an inarticulate, ufologist, charismaniac, zionist-type?
But anyway ... three ... two ... one ...
Your curiously
paradoxical obverse derisive confirmations
of the
UNRUBBERIZED BIBLE,
UNRUBBERIZED DICTIONARY,
UNRUBBERIZED HISTORY,
UNRUBBERIZED LOGIC
TRUTH
remain quite welcome encouragements.
Thanks.
However, my post below should NOT be construed as any ENCOURAGEMENT to lie. Note to those in Rio Linda: Lying is spiritually hazardous.
Your curiously

Thanks.
BTW,
I MUCH appreciate the very persistent
sequential DEMONSTRATION that
REPLACEMENTARIANS et al
are not bothered at all by any pretended inarticulation
yet
ARE bothered significantly be obviously very very clear articulation.
That’s a WONDERFULLY humorous thrill and comfort.
Thanks tons.
