Mellontes, Thank you for your courteous reply. I'll have to do some real pondering over that 2Thes. 1 passage! :| I try to consider myself an objective person who surrenders himself to the word of God, and I appreciate you taking your time to address the things that you did. I'm going to need to thi...

Scotty, Hello brother. I remember feeling rather angry at my teachers when I discovered that there are a lot of "valid" views of the millennium out there but I had never been taught word one about them, for or against. I would suggest having patience in your studies and don't be afraid to say, "I do...

Paidion, Thank you for taking the time to explain a little bit about your understanding of Rev. 20. I know it would take a long time to dig deep enough into the subject to fully explain yourself. I agree with you that eschatology is not the most important thing we Christians need to spend our energi...

Paidion, Hello again, brother. When you brought up Matt. 25 it brought to mind some of the questions that I had concerning the resurrection that really caused me to doubt the whole scheme of premillennialism, historic or otherwise. I wonder if you could explain your view of things concerning the tim...

Greetings Mellontes, Thanks for the post. I'll try to answer point by point. L2J...Do you also consider the "day of the Lord" usage in the OT as being just a 24-hour day? Did any of these events involve a visible, physical return of the Lord at those times? It is well worth the study, my friend. I h...

Greetings once again Paidion, Concerning what Douglas wrote about the day, my own view of course, is that the day that John was circumcised was the day that his father "officially" named him and also the time in which the rejoicing happened, and therefore the prophecy was fulfilled and Zecharia was ...

Hello Douglas, I don't recall ever having the slightest confusion over the passage in Luke 1. By that I mean that I never read the passage and thought, "There's a problem here with the timeline concerning Gabriel's prophecy and its fulfillment." I read what the angel said and then read how the story...

Hello again Paidon, I may have misunderstood the argument that Gruenler was making. I tried to find the comments he made in the commentary you cited online so as to better understand his complete remarks, but I wasn't able to do so. Gruenler pointed out that a verb in the aorist tense in Greek state...

Dear Paidon, Thank you for your response. A few comments are in order. First of all, it isn't my intention to limit the prophecy at all, it just seems obvious to me, for the reasons I stated, that the text itself limits the prophecy to what we see being fulfilled in vss. 57ff. Secondly, and Douglas ...

Hello Paidon, After looking in to what you posted I noticed what seems to me to be a problem with your premise, specifically points 4 and 5. I'm not sure that you can make a case that these statements apply to anything that has to take place before Zecharia's mouth would be opened. In verses 13 and ...
