God's Deliverance (Ezek 1 & 10)

God's Deliverance: Order/Organization (Ezek 1), Power (Ezek 10) & Timing (cf. Ezek 43)

            In prior postings in this “Theological Views” Blog, the Bible’s and SOP’s promise and delineation of the evidence that God has plans to ‘Deliver His Faithful People’ (GC 635ff = Rev 16:10ff -discussed in here). The “Power” (see e.g. in this post) and “Timing” (see e.g. here), as well as both of them combined (see e.g. here), have indeed been presented throughout this Blog. But the Bible and SOP also reveals that God has a very deliberate “Order” (=Organization), and that in seeming chaos and disarray, which He will also keyly involve in this Deliverance event and process. By now, not really surprising to me, this understanding is merely a confirmation of what had long been pursued, indeed essentially from the very beginning of, this Biblical research and tangible projects work, culminating in the launching of its NJK Project (ca. 2003ff).

            The Biblical exposition and understanding of Ezek 10 is the pivotal passage is what presents/confirms this “Order” aspect in God’s plans here, and as also seen with many passages, this is an understanding that EGW also somewhat nebulously had through manifestly various SOP revelations that she may not have “fully” understood.

                                                                                               

The Prophecy of Daniel 2 (Dan 2:31-45)

The Prophecy of (First) World Hegemony & the Final, Temporal, Super-Power, Kingdom of God (Dan 2:34-35, 44-45)

The Prophecy of Daniel 2 is patently, and with good reason, used as an introductory and

foundational study about the Bible and Bible Prophecy, as it reveals that the Bible is a Supernaturally inspired book which accurately predicts the future. But of course not everyone, namely non-Bible Believers (see e.g. pertinently here), have that view. The purpose of this blog post is to present the evidence for this understanding belief of Bible believers from this “springboarding” prophecy, but, as it was done earlier with the also popular and strongly evidencing 70 Weeks Prophecy, the presentation here will be done by a necessary more in depth, even correcting, study: Exegetically, Theologically and also Historically, of this key prophecy than what is typically done.[1] But before getting into the verse by verse exposition, a couple of key foundational points first need to be made.

Date of Prophecy - DSS & Carbon Dating

Succinctly state here the date of the prophecy of Daniel 2, (which predicts events from ca.

605 B.C. through A.D. Medieval World/Church History, through today) is scientifically/factually known, through the carbon dating of Dead Sea Scrolls which include it, (namely: 1QDan^a & 4QDan^a) to have been written/copied by around the 1st centuries B.C./A.D.  (Cf. here & here).

Gog & Magog vs. God

The USA & the Rest of the West vs. the NJK (Ezek 38&39)

            Upon now years of studying, pondering and also experience (cf. 1SM 25.4), and with this prophecy of Ezek 38=39 having been shown by God to indeed have an eschatological application, e.g. (Explicitly) Rev 20:8-9 (Ezek 38:2, 39:6) & (implicitly/allusively) Rev 19:17-18, 21 (Ezek 39:17-20); Rev 11:13 (Ezek 38:19-20), so it can here/now be forthwithly stated as the controlling thesis, indeed upon Spiritual observation & prophetic information, that this, actually popular Gog and Magog prophecy of Ezek 38-39 represents the outline, template and modus operandi, of how God has always planned to orchestrate and achieve a triumphant victory over, and that collectively so, all of those who would presently or potentially think to stand against the Zionistic plans that He has for His (redeemed and restored) Israel (cf. Isa 54), -which now, in the New Testament, is to be found, as a faithful (Apostolic) remnant (Rev 12:17), within the, today: mainly Babylonianly-Apostate, Christian Church. (Rev 18:2-4)

God’s Purposes through/with (Militant) Islam (Rev 9:1-12, 13-21)

            So...in the wake of the, so-hyped ‘9/11-level’ Paris (Nov. 2015) Attacks:[1] Why has God, based from His Promise to Hagar about Ishmael (in Gen 16:10-12; 17:20; 25:12-16, 18), overseeingly allowed Satan (as in 1 Kgs 22:18-23ff) to, -as exegetically expounded and discussed in here, supernaturally form the (also militant) false religion of Islam in ca. 610 AD (=Rev 9:1ff),[2] just as He had similarly allowed Satan to, -as exegetically expounded and discussed in here, theologically and doctrinally seal the willful corruption/apostasy of post-Apostolic/Historical Christianity (=Acts 20:30; 2 Tim 4:1-4; 2 Thess 2:11-12), by, supernaturally starting with Emperor Constantine in 313 AD, (and, ensuingly continued through the Christian “orthodoxy” and adherence enforcements of Emperor Justinian I, and also, -most pertinently here, for the Church’s later Crusades), establish the, (then also militant), prophesied (e.g. 2 Thess 2:3-8ff) AntiChrist-false religion of Roman Catholicism (=Rev 8:10-11)?!!:...

Responses to the Deliberately: Moronic, Idiotic and/or Erroneous Anti-Bible Claims of TYT (Pro 26:5) - Part 2 [Part 1]

As it seen in the post on “The Worldview of Unbelievers”, I had begun to includingly address and respond to also the anti-God/Bible/Christianity claims made by people at The Young Turks Network but is soon became self-evident that they claims were patently disingenuous, and mainly by being/remaining deliberately idiotic about what the Bible actually says, and so responding to them only became a time consuming exercise in “whack-a-moron”. So I instead jotted responses to them in a separate offline document, which also didn’t have to involve the referencing of what they had said (i.e. links to the (Youtube) clips where they make their stupid claims. The following post is an online “dump” of that private document because at some time, you do have to show “fools” how foolish they are...

Responses to evilbible.com Website Claims

Responses to Common Objections and Claims of Unbelievers (2 Tim 2:15)

           

            It is patent for unbelievers to rattle off a listing of various objections to the Bible as the foundational/substantive reason why they do not believe in either its inspiration or even, the “moral beneficiality” of the Bible.  As seen in the title of the main website (old website) being responded to here, they come to conclude that the Bible is/must be “evil”. (See also in this post).

            Upon just reading through the listing of claims on that website, it seems evident to me, that the author(s) of these claims may have had some Christian background and later, upon “discovering”, these (supposed) errors/contradictions/“evils” switched to their current stance. Whatever the case, it is still pertinent that literally all of these claims are borne out of deficient, uninformed, or outright erroneous exegesis and theology. The ironic thing is that many believers also see the same errors but just silently overlook them, as if the Bible and its message does not contain the resolving answer. And to a point, that also is not an acceptable approach, because, for one thing, it does breed and perpetuate in some such vehement opposition to the Bible.

The Prophecy of Daniel 8 - Part A2

The Prophetic Geo-Political||Societal History of the World (Daniel 8:1-6, 7, 20-21)

Note: The present Part A2 (=Dan 8:7) blog post continues its preceding Part A1 (=Dan 8:1-6, 20-21)

[See next its Part B (=Dan 8:8, 9-14, 15-19, 22, 23-26)]

Daniel 8:7 - Then I (suddenly) {naturally} saw him cause to be contacting alongside the ram. Then he (repeatedly) made himself embittered at him. And he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, then the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

Then - As grammatically possible, the Hebrew Waw conjunction here can translated to reflect the distinct notions of the ensuing statement being: conjunctive =“and”; consecutive =“then” or explicative =“that is”. As it will be seen in the following exegetical+historical interpretation, these ensuing statements are best understood to have a consecutive =“then” notion and meaning.

            A plausible, as in possible, claim/argument could (have) be(en) made that Dan 8:7 is just restating in more detail what Dan 8:6 had already introduced, i.e. the male goat attacking the ram, and so the opening Hebrew waw here would be: explicative =“that is”, but, as stated above, exegesis, and pointedly the (as earlier presented and here later continued) historical details of the application of this prophecy (i.e. Greece battling Persia for world hegemony) favors the “consecutive waw” understanding...
