Great Sign on 9/23/17 Fulfills TWO Bible Prophecies

[WhiteWings]

I would like to make a prophuecy of my own: 100% of date setting prophecies will fail.

But only due to human errors* not because  the erroneous believe that no (exact)  timing is given. Even holding that as a possibility for me means very shallow,  if any,  understanding of the OT

*= Mostly due to the fact that Scriptual interpretation is so much Hellinized that the vast majority of interpretation is nothing more than Greek philosophy.

[Shev]

So what exact timing is given for the future manifestation of Christ? I evidently only have a very shallow (if any) understanding of the OT.  :winkgrin:

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

[Shev]

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

I agree heartily, EW.  :dsunny:

Personally Shev, I think you are wise in pointing away from the physical timing to a spiritual timing. My understanding is that the wonderful future manifestation of the Christ on this tiny earth (or as much as it can take of Him) is a spiritual event and is therefore dependent upon spiritual factors, not least the spiritual readiness of humanity.

As far as I am personally concerned, He is already here, but it is a case of humanity being ready for a more consummate representation of His Presence - and although I believe I will see it, it will not be during my lifetime here on earth. Just my opinion.

Incidentally, I do believe that the Spiritual Christ who was from the beginning with God, and through whom all of Creation was brought into being, actually does know when He Himself shall manifest, but when He spoke He was speaking from the point of view of a human, having lowered Himself to become a fleshly earth-dweller - speaking as humans are limited during their earthly sojourn.

Peace and Hope

...7He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." 9And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight....

Words of the risen Christ.

[Psalm91:4]

I just looked up "epochs"  cause I wasn't exactly sure what it meant and how it is used elsewhere in scripture, so there's a quick link if anyone needs it too.

I believe He is returning bodily...and also that there are statements by him such as:

Whenever 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there am I in the the midst.
And...He said to the disciples,  after He arose but before He ascended....Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

So as far as I can see in the scripture...it's not either/or....it's both.    :)
