Messiah, anointed one, chosen one, Christ. They all mean the same thing. And this started after Cyrus was already dead. Cyrus let the Jews return to Jerusalem in 537 B. C. E. The call to rebuild Jerusalem did not occur until 455 B. C. E. during King Artaxerxes reign:
"In the month of Niʹsan, in...
Prophecy is very clear about the fact that the Messiah was going to be cut off. And that as a direct result what had been decided upon in heaven would be the destruction of Jerusalem and it's temple:
“There are 70 weeks that have been determined for your people and your holy city, in order to...
1. The Messiah had to die first. Jesus was put to death.
2. All the tribes were reunited after the repatriation after the exile in 537 B. C. E. when they returned to rebuild Jerusalem.
3. Prophecy said that Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed after the Messiah was put to death.
4. He...
First things first. God never acts evil, and never tests anyone with evil:
(James 1:13) When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone.
Second, God cannot die:
(Habakkuk 1:12) Are you not from everlasting...
Jehovah certainly has shown his great and enduring love for us. Jesus said:
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."-John 3:16.
So did God show his love? Yes, and that love...
Allah, God, has love that transcends the human capacity of understanding. As Jesus Christ is the son of God, and the exact representation of his very being, we can take the words about Jesus Christ written here and apply them to his Father, Jehovah God as well:
"In order that with all the holy...
Greetings Hellbound Serpiente. I can understand a little the handle you chose for yourself after reading your sad statements on your personal experiences. And they are not unique unfortunately. My heart goes out to all who suffer, and to you as well. After reading the statement I did a quick...
Greetings Vee. It is true, what you say. It is a testament to the failure of man-made governance, corrupt and inept, worldwide. The earth is capable easily to feed and house everyone. But humans are not capable of bringing about the needed changes.
Please see this issue of The Watchtower...
Greetings Daniel. I hope your are doing well.
I am afraid that you convoltingly twisted everything and did not represent anything you read accurately. I was not going to reply to you, as you often do this. I don't mean to say this to offend you either. But the scripture that came to mind...
Greetings Moby. I am sorry but I don't like to click on links that lead outside websites I visit if I am unfamiliar with the person posting the link. So could not read your comment.
The Bible clearly teaches that God's 144,000 anointed Christian congregation will all be in heaven as immortal...
I already explained it. If you are not seeing it, either my explanation failed, or your understanding failed. I am going to guess you are not understanding, as you don't even understand that Isaiah 53:3 is referring to Jesus Christ. And I think that has more to do with a heart condition, than...
Ah, I see. I think where the lines are crossed is the usage of the word world, I like to call it world, more than earth.
The world of mankind in the Bible is always in reference to humans that do not serve Jehovah. The Bible can also refer to mankind as the earth, and the ruling class as the...
It seems that it is self explanatory.
Look how the same prophet worded another prophecy:
“He was despised and was avoided by men, a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness. And there was as if the concealing of one’s face from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no...
Umm..actually we started with your fallacy. You said that the earth is filthy. Where did you get that? I agree that mankind is ruining the earth. But surely the earth's creation shouts the glory of God:
"For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they...
Who likes riddles?
One of the ways God communicates his will or purposes in the Bible is through riddles. One of the reasons to do this is to obscure the meaning of the prophecy.
There are some hard to understand prophecies in Daniel. A really good book explaining some of the deep meaning...
