"Thanks Jim"
Thanks Jim for the interesting message
on the three irrefutable proofs for believing these are the end
times we are living in now, i.e., 1) history of Israel being
reborn, 2) Daniel's prediction of Christ's first coming, and 3)
the increase in travel and the increase in knowledge.
Everyone alive now has to agree that these are indeed proofs. It
amazes me that the learned Hebrew scholars and theologians of
Christ's day did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah prophesied
in Daniel, since the dates were known for the re-building of
Jerusalem according to Artaxerxes and how Jesus was fulfilling
the prophecies of Micah, Isaiah and Joel, in addition to Daniel.
But I guess they just did not understand that He would appear
twice, and they expected the Kingly appearance, not the
suffering servant, the lamb of God and the only Saviour for
mankind.
We are truly knowledgeable of matters that even the savants of
previous historical periods did not understand or appreciate
fully. Thanks again for taking the time to remind us. Great
message!
YBIC,
Robert
