Re: Ravi Zacharias Cancer
If Ravi Zacharias was a giant, then “How are the mighty fallen!” Christ once said that “there is nothing hidden that shall not be made known.” If the evidence brought out concerning Ravi Zacharias is credible, (and to date it appears to be), then this “giant” who apparently did not change his practi...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Hey Steve7150, That particular “*THIS* WICKED generation” can’t possibly be referring in a generic sense to “man’s last condition”. Look at the complete context of Matt. 12:38-45. Christ was speaking to the scribes and Pharisees - that evil “generation of vipers” who had just asked Him for a sign. H...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
You’re right, Steve7150, that Jesus didn’t necessarily call this the GREATEST of all tribulations ever. What He DID say was that there had never been and would never again at any time in humanity’s future be the PARTICULAR KIND of tribulation like that of the “great tribulation” period immediately p...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Hey again Steve7150, There’s one very glaring problem with Scolfield identifying the great tribulation period with the ENTIRE church age. In Matthew 24:21, Jesus said that this greatest of tribulation periods would never again be equaled or surpassed at any time in history AFTER that great tribulati...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
You’re right, steve7150, that if Preterists think Revelation was written in the middle of the 60’s, this poses a problem when we look at the prosperous Laodicean church as then described in Rev. 2:17. “I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing...” couldn’t possibly describe a city...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Here’s a simple mathematical calculation that has escaped Ellis Skolfield’s notice completely. Count back 666 years in time from the year John was writing Revelation (just prior to the AD 60 earthquake judgment God was soon about to pass on the Laodicean church - Rev. 3:16), and you arrive at the ye...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Sorry, steve7150, but Ellis Skolfield does not have liberty to arbitrarily assign the day-for-a-year formula wherever he pleases, without specific permission in the scripture context. It says 42 months PERIOD in the text - not 42 months of days multiplied into years. Skolfield presumes too much, and...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Hi steve7150, I took the time to skim through several chapters of Ellis Skolfield’s online “False Prophet”, particularly about the true location of the temple, and I disagree completely with his deductions. The temple could not possibly have been NORTH of the current Dome of the Rock location as he ...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
Why does Ellis Skolfield arbitrarily assign a year for every day in the Daniel 12:11-13 prophecy, the 42 months, and the 1260 days of Rev. 12:6 for example? What justification does he have for doing that, unless scripture specifically assigns a day for a year in those passages? He goes too far and p...

Re: For Partial Preterists: Any OT Passages on the 2nd Coming?
Certainly there are passages about the second coming in the OT. Jacob, in Genesis 49:10. “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” This “gathering” speaks of the resurrection of the saints, w...
