Yet for many (at least among pre-millenialists), the motivation for that interpretation seems to be to find an out ("Jesus didn't mean our generation--we will be raptured first.") <br /><br />Thanks for reading (and thanks for the tree.)Rick Gerhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478878021692544533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410615559824660051.post-66576408143648589542010-04-10T19:23:06.979-07:002010-04-10T19:23:06.979-07:00To me it seems the evangelicals are trying to pred...To me it seems the evangelicals are trying to predict and respond to everything that is happening out there and somehow attach it all to scripture. It is like catching the wind.It changes everyday and so do their prophecies. <br /><br />A few verses on mans ineptness of trying to understand certain things and thus taking prophecy to far.<br /><br />Ecl 8:17 No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it.<br /><br />Deut 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.<br /><br />Math 24:36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.<br /><br />I am no prophecy expert, but I know that we are living in the last days. I don't need to know every end times prophecy.I just know I'm going to be ready....that's all I need to know. <br /><br /><br />Mark SMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725208467534022040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410615559824660051.post-68666812504822033712010-04-09T07:32:04.725-07:002010-04-09T07:32:04.725-07:00It is an extreme injustice to label the UN as the ...It is an extreme injustice to label the UN as the vehicle of the anti-Christ in a fictional book per LaHaye, and then to believe, and even act, on this fiction as if it were true. The UN has its problems no doubt, but I hardly think this fictional charade follows the dictates of even the Ten Commandments, namely, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”<br /><br />Well done Rick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410615559824660051.post-2617999422384080232010-04-07T08:15:05.847-07:002010-04-07T08:15:05.847-07:00Agree with your sentiments here and, of course, wi...Agree with your sentiments here and, of course, with Noll. Sad...truly sad. There is such negligence today in hermeneutics where the spirit of relativism has crept into our churches; the Bible can anything as long as it fits our pre-conceived notions about the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
