Yep, and that is why I do find him interesting although I don’t know if I agree with everything he says, but I will defer that he is way more knowledgeable than I am. I do find his work compelling and interesting.

You can argue about the timing of those events and have different opinions but essentially it doesn't matter. None of it changes the core Gospel of death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

Your comment about me means very little coming from a Bible literalist or Fundamentalist if you prefer. You do seem to be aligned with these types of believers.
Thank you for caring enough about me to mention me as I do you, my friend!

I think it does.
Like the first century Jews, they were looking for a Messiah to restore physical Israel to it's glory as a kingdom. Jesus came to establish(and did) a spiritual kingdom(the church). Those who hold the pre view, are looking for a physical kingdom.
The premillennial view begins that Jesus was killed before he could accomplish his mission. Uh..no.
Also, if one's view of Revelation could not be understood by the 7 churches in the first century, I contend that view has to be wrong. Fighter jets, Russia(or whatever the latest country is on the front burner), the latest bad guy, would mean nothing to them.
Will soon come to pass is all through the book.
The greatest world kingdom(Rome) took on the greatest spiritual kingdom(the church). The letter is one of encouragement. No matter how bad it gets(they were killing Christians) stay faithful. Do not bow to Caesar worship. The church is the eternal kingdom. Rome will fall(and has).

At this point I lean towards a pretrib timeframe and will always invite others to convince me otherwise. I continue to learn and absorb. My faith and salvation is secure but I still have a lot of learning to do to do
because it has some good stuff in it

I believe in pretrib but not dogmatic about it. You could make arguments otherwise. Not an issue to get upset about. If you are wrong what difference does it make?

Thanks for the response. It started to get frustrating lol. It is a positive thing IMO if we don’t see eye to eye on every subject matter, but support one another as brothers in Christ where we can and try to lead others to salvation@tourists24,
So you know, although you see, I verbally joust with certain individuals about certain religious topics and thoughts I do take my spiritual life very seriously. I see more Pharisees in them than I see Christ.
I admit, sometimes I say confusing things. I do not in any way, mean or think myself to be worthy to even tie the sandals of my Lord Jesus, but I do believe he lives in me spiritually, and I also understand that things he said were very confusing to the established religion of his day such as the Pharisees. I do believe that some of the confusing things I say, are confusing to these individuals on this site because they lean towards the thought and religion of the Pharisees and not religion of a living Christ.
That is between them and God, or in their case between them and the Bible.
I want you aware that my viewpoint of the Bible is this:
I believe the Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God himself in the core and center of their hearts.
These thoughts of mine have been codified in the written manuscripts that have been accumulated, selected, and decided upon to be used as religious doctrine by previous church leadership, ultimately to end up in the Holy Bibles that we see on the shelves of bookstores and online and it’s various iterations.
Religion and religious writings can be and are very useful in my spiritual life. But apart from God, himself in the Holy Spirit moving in through and acting upon all of creation, they might as well be Mad Magazine. The Holy Spirit within is the necessary component, the person who can lead one to understanding, not our intellect or understanding of a book. I suspect their unbelief in the Holy Spirit‘s residence in the believer is what hinders them.
