Revelation 3:1-6 (NIV2011) 1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for...

What I wrote was a simple summary of a very large subject taken mostly from Josephus' The wars of the Jews about the fulfillment of the combined prophesies of Daniel, Jesus, and Paul which all fit together. So I have overlaid their compatible prophesies over top of history and it fits very...

You are exactly right. Here is a reprised list of the historical events that fulfilled Matt 24. All of Matt 24 has been fulfilled as of 70AD. It was not a “falling away” from Christianity that Paul talked about but rather the “rebellion” against Rome. After the rebellion started it was then...

I only read the first page of this thread as I don't have the time to read the other 68 pages. Surely John or someone else has brought this up before. I only need one verse to establish my thinking on OSAS and it is... Revelation 3:1-3 (NIV2011) 1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis...

28 pages is too much to read, so I only read the first 1/3 of the posts. God is big on free will He doesn't seem to force anyone to do anything but rather he seems to be reactionary when it comes to human events. The fact that he allows people to choose an existence apart from him to me is the...

It was not a falling away from Judaism, but rather the rebellion against Rome. After the rebellion started it was then that the Terrorist leader took over the Temple and desecrated it worse then it ever had been in history. As I said the word translated “falling away†can and often is...

Yes it definitely does. The Spirit of God and the heavenly host left the Temple just before the Rebellion (falling away) took place (Pentecost 66AD). After the restrainer was removed - Eleazar bar Simon took over the Temple by force and did just as he pleased ignoring the laws of Moses and even...

I once did too, but I was mistaken. Next I thought it was Eleazar ben Ananus. Here I was confused by the two Eleazar's of which Josephus does not make a clear distinction between. These two were Eleazar ben Ananus and Eleazar ben Simon. Eleazar ben Ananus was the grandson of the Ananus of...

Sorry but this is pure legalism.

The earliest account of their martyrdom according to the public letter of Eucherius, bishop of Lyons (c. 434 – 450

Stormcrow already did that in my post. What could be clearer?

The end was to be immediately after the tribulation of those days meaning the judgment on Israel. In 70AD the whole world of that day was evangelized.

God is able to stop any of the historical conquering riders on the white horse. The question is why doesn't He?

Diocletian was the most evil Emperor of the Roman era. It is estimated that he martyred 450,000 Christians. Compare to Nero at 5,000 and Domitian at about 2,000. Eusebius' comments on his cruelty and the endless numbers of Christians that were beheaded under his reign. Eusebius was an...
