Again, you keep attributing words to me that I have never written. The point of my post about Caesar Augustus - which you missed entirely - was to get you to understand that the word “world” means something completely different to us today than it did to the people living in Jesus’ time!

But the word "world" as it had meaning to people in Jesus' time is irrelevant because the Antichrist, who is a future dictator, will rule over the entire globe, not the Roman Empire.

So the meaning of the word "world" as it was understood by the people in Jesus' day could not be more meaningless.

But you’re more intent on trying to smear me than you are in thinking these things through.

This isn't about you. It's about a false belief system. And the belief system needs to be not only smeared, but snuffed out of existence altogether.

Get back to me when you understand what “ecumenical” meant in Jesus’ day.

I couldn't care less about what "ecumenical" meant in Jesus' day because it's irrelevant to the ongoing fulfillment of end-time prophecy.

“But the word “world” as it had meaning to people in Jesus’ time is irrelevant because the Antichrist, who is a future dictator, will rule over the entire globe, not the Roman Empire.”

Show me in any of the gospels where the word “anti-christ” is used. Since all your eschatology seems to revolve around him, prove it. Show me where - in Matthew 24 - the anti-christ is mentioned just once!

And the meaning of the word world IS relevant because of the way you and your links interpret the signs, one of them being Matthew 24:14!

If Matthew 24:14 doesn’t refer to the entire world as we know it today, then it throws the rest of your eschatology right out the window!

Or are you now suggesting that the signs Jesus mentioned aren’t relevant, either???

If so, it would appear that you’re the one twisting scripture, not me.

You can continue to mischaracterize my posts and lie about what I’ve written, but why would someone who claims to have intimate revelation provided by the Holy Spirit do that?

Is that what the Spirit is leading you to do? If so, better examine which spirit you’re listening to.

INDEED. WELL PUT.
