                                                 The End is NEAR/AT HAND: Old Testament Edition       


Ezekiel 30:3 English Standard Version 3     For the day is NEAR, the day of the Lord is NEAR; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

Context: God judges Egypt by using Babylon.

 

Isaiah 13:6 English Standard Version 6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is NEAR; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!

Context: God judges Babylon by using the Medes.

 

Isaiah 13:22 English Standard Version 22 Hyenas will cry in its towers, and jackals in the pleasant palaces; its time is close at HAND and its days will not be prolonged.

Context: God judges Babylon by using the Medes.

 

Jeremiah 48:16 English Standard Version 16 The calamity of Moab is NEAR at HAND, and his affliction hastens swiftly.

Context: God judges Moab by using Babylon.

 

Ezekiel 12:25-28 English Standard Version 25 For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. IT WILL NO LONGER BE DELAYED, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.” 26 And the word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be DELAYED ANY LONGER, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.

Context: Babylon takes Judah captive in the exile.

 

Hebrews 10:36-38 English Standard Version 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For, “YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE COMING ONE WILL COME AND WILL NOT DELAY; 38 but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

Context: Habakkuk 2:3-4 is quoted to indicate the “soon-ness” of the 1st Century situation.

 

Habakkuk 2:3-4 English Standard Version 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; IT HASTENS TO THE END—IT WILL NOT LIE. If it seems slow, wait for it; IT WILL SURELY COME; IT WILL NOT DELAY. 4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Context: Babylon coming to bring judgment on Judah and Jerusalem.

 

Revelation 10:6 English Standard Version 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that THERE WOULD BE NO MORE DELAY

 

NOTE: If we are going to acknowledge that God brought judgment on Judah, Jerusalem, Egypt, and Moab WITHIN THEIR LIFETIMES as the word “soon” indicates. All those parties seen their respective judgment accounts. Why are we inconsistent when we apply the word “soon” in Revelation? If God is the same, why would he suddenly redefine “soon” to be 2,000 years plus? God is not the author of confusion. We are.

Hebrews 13:8 English Standard Version 8 Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday and today and forever.

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection 1. When did the Old Testament (OT) Saints leave Sheol/Hades to go to Heaven? Surprisingly, many believe that the OT Saints went to Heaven at the Cross. This is not true. In Acts 2, we see that Christ the Greater David was the ONLY person granted a physical resurrection AND ascension. The physical resurrection and ascension of Christ in 30AD pointed as well as confirmed the spiritual resurrection of the OT saints in 70 AD. King David was still in his grave, not Christ. See Acts 2:22-34. When Christ ascended to Heaven in Acts 1:9-11, He ascended ALONE. Later, in Acts 7:60, when Stephen was stoned to death, it says he fell ASLEEP . It says NOTHING about his spirit going up to Heaven with the Lord.  This is especially confirmed if you read Psalm 31 in its full context. Otherwise, you are imposing something foreign into the text. In Matthew 27:51-53, there were a number of dead saints w

From Grave to Glory (G2G)-A Preterist Postmillennial Commentary-Revelation 12-22

Image
Revelation 12 V1-2: We see the same imagery of Joseph’s dream here in Genesis 37:9-11. Israel (representing Jerusalem as well in Matthew 2:18) is described as the Daughter of Zion-a dying mother; specifically, Rachel who died tragically during pregnancy. See Isaiah 50:1, 54:1-6, 66:7; Jeremiah 4:31; Micah 4:9-10; Galatians 4:27; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18. Although Jerusalem will be destroyed, the remnant will represent a glimmer of hope similar to Benjamin and Christ's respective births. The woman clothed with the sun represents the exalted status of Israel among all nations. However, the moon is under her feet, which represents the waning status of the Old Covenant. The moon reflects light from the sun. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The dying Daughter of Zion was about to give birth to Christ and the Church. V3: The Dragon’s seven heads have crowns at this time, which means the Roman Empire was in control. This represents Satan’s authority over the Rom
