Right, but there would have been no Christ in the flesh to die unless Adam ate of the fruit also after Eve did. Adam would not have been kicked from the garden if he had not eaten of the fruit also and Eve would have been alone without Adam to have any descendants with. Interesting. There could...

Revelation 20:4.

Yak yak yak. Do you believe Namaan was in God's favor? I do. And he was in God's favor even though he was not told he had to join Israel, was not told he had to be circumcised, and was not told to observe all the Torah laws. He simply had faith that YHWH was the Most High God and returned to...

There's a lot of symbolism. Eve is of the body of the 1st Adam. Believers are of the body of the last Adam (Christ). Eve was deceived and accepted sin (death). Adam was not deceived, but went ahead and accepted sin (death) upon himself. If Adam had not accepted sin (death) to himself then Eve...

Eve Genesis 3:20 KJV (20) And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Jerusalem above Galatians 4:26 KJV (26) But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Great response! I agree that mixing metaphors can cause some whacky results. Believers are referred to as: flock/sheep sons servants bride body If you mix the metaphors then you have whacky results like Christ marrying sons (incest & homosexuality). Each of the metaphors are different idioms...

Yeah, 1000 years can mean "all encompassed". Example of this is when scripture says: Psalms 50:10-11 ESV (10) For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. (11) I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine. Obviously all cattle on all...

I'm not wedded to any system either. I am a dispensationalist as far as the Church not "replacing" Israel. But I am not a hyper dispensationalist.

Nineveh didn't when God spared them. Namaan didn't when God healed him.

To me it's not only good to question the viewpoint of the opposing crowd, but to question my own viewpoint as well.

You know I have. That's what every doctrinal stance claims, and they all use scripture to do it. They don't give answers that satisfy you, and you don't give answers that satisfy them.

Bible Project overview of Zechariah: 8 minute video I'm not sure the colors are representative of anything in particular in Revelation anymore than the colors in Zechariah, but that the different colors are used to distinguish one from another. Almost all scholars agree that Zec 1 and Zec 6...

I just love the way these are done! Whether you agree with the summation or not, it is an enjoyable and creative way to summarize bible books. Bible Project has them for every book of the Bible. 10 minutes Rev 1-11 10 minutes Rev 12-22

You won't find "tribulation" in Daniel. You won't find "tribulation" and "7 years" (in any form) in any verse in scripture. But you will find "tribulation" multiple times as something the people of God are going through.

Thanks for this thread to explore the possibilities. Give us a list of the 7 cycles of judgement so we can discuss.

@glorydaz @Arial and anyone else interested. I went ahead and created a thread for OT imagery used in Revelation. https://theologyonline.com/threads/revelation-imagery-in-the-ot.57974/

Revelation 6 uses the imagery of multiple colored horses. So where do find similar imagery of multiple colored horses in the OT? Zechariah 1 & 6. In both of those chapter we have multiple colored horses, and the context in those chapters is about judgement on the nations that attack and oppress...

It is said that Revelation uses more OT imagery than other NT book. However, John does not directly quote OT verses. What he does do is piece together imagery scattered throughout the OT prophets to convey the message of what is going on and why. Thus, one needs to be mindful of the places in...

Yeppers. This could be a problem with how people approach scripture. Perhaps they shouldn't be thinking that each word, phrase, and sentence is supposed to be precise in every little detail, but that it is speaking common language. Even today our common language usage would be (when the...

More fodder for the exploring seekers of truth. Revelation 16:16 KJV (16) And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. It's not the plain of Megiddo. Dr. Michael Heiser breaks down the term Armageddon in Hebrew. short 8 minute video
