You're the fool.
Why do you insert a huge gap between the two verses?
You're the fool.
Jerry, I told you to be careful with Zechariah, because God makes it clear to Zechariah that if the Jews retuned to Him, He would return to them.
I get that you Dispies love Zech 14, it's probably your favorite chapter in the OT.
Zech 14 is very diffulcult. However, Zech 14:8 speaks of living water, and Jesus made it clear that living water was the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, that tells me that Zech 14 is not literal, since living water symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
(John 7:39) (When he said "living water," he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
(Zech 14:8) On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
So, as we see above, Zech 14:8 does not mean that literal rivers with literal "living water" will happen.
So, you can keep quoting verses from Zech 14, and keep pounding your chest and claiming they haven't happened yet, but I know they were fulfilled in Christ Jesus, and are NOT yet future events.
You think Dan 11 is yet future.
Jesus clearly gave you the meaning of "Living Waters".
Do you not believe what Jesus said about Living Waters?
Exactamundo,Mayor. The Preterist punk continually brings up his Zech. 14 "Ace in the Hole," we challenge him on the surrounding verses, and he "scurries like a cockroach when the light is shined upon" him.
Well, Mayor, STP-Tettie stumped us again, with his....
"Do you not believe what Jesus said (fill in the blank of anything the Saviour said)" stumper, "trump card."
Next up: Don't you believe the bible/Paul/God...................?
Clown.
Yes, Craigie-unpack it for us.
Maybe Tet, the Great Gap Theorist, will prove to us that "Jesus" was referring to Zechariah?
AD 70ists have a fantasy interpretation compelsion. Wonder what causes that?
When someone has an irrational fascination with a group of non-christians and does not have faith that God will complete his promises as he intended them, you have to come up with some pretty bizarre theologies to fit God in the box you have constructed for him.
Tet, the Great Gap Theorist, ridicules dispensationalists for believing in a gap in Daniel 9.
Yet, he inserts a HUGE gap here.
Daniel 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Daniel 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Daniel 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
GAP
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
I reckon his first girlfriend hurt his fragile feelings, like we did, and her name was Jackie Nora Darby.
9. Er, no....
At least the teaching of Dispensationalists does not shift from day to day...
It is the preterists who do not believe that God will complete His promises. Since people have no place for the fulfillment of this promise in your eschatology you must not believe that it will ever be fulfilled:
"I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem" (Zech.14:2-6).
Then to make matters worse you refuse to even discuss this passage. All you want to do is run and hide from this passage while insisting that it really isn't important!
No.. we do not believe in YOUR INTERPRETATION of the promises.
