Eschatology 201 Guidelines
This area of the forum is primarily for Christian theists to discuss orthodox views of Eschatology. Other theist participation is welcome within that framework, but only within orthodoxy. Posts from nontheists that do not promote atheism or seek to undermine the faith of others will be permitted at the Moderator's discretion - such posters should contact the area moderators before posting.
Without turning this forum into a 'hill of foreskins' (Joshua 5:3), I believe we can still have fun with this 'sensitive' topic.
However, don't be misled, dispensationalism has only partly to do with circumcision issues. So, let's not forget about Innocence, Conscience, Promises, Kingdoms and so on.
End time -isms within orthodox Christianity also discussed here. Clearly unorthodox doctrines, such as those advocating "pantelism/full preterism/Neo-Hymenaeanism" or the denial of any essential of the historic Christian faith are not permitted in this section but can be discussed in Comparative Religions 101 without restriction. Any such threads, as well as any that within the moderator's discretions fall outside mainstream evangelical belief, will be moved to the appropriate area.
Millennialism- post-, pre- a-
Futurism, Historicism, Idealism, and Preterism, or just your garden variety Zionism.
From the tribulation to the anichrist. Whether your tastes run from Gary DeMar to Tim LaHaye or anywhere in between, your input is welcome here.
OK folks, let's roll!

Which is to say: no theological significance. This time, or any other time. Several YouTube prophets(tm) could not help themselves and tried to predict a September 23 rapture...then a September 30 rapture... and some have shot for the next several days too. Failure is evidently no discouragement to that crowd when the Lord personally confirms their dreams and feelings and (reapeatedly ) tells them that "this will be their last video."

Unpopular opinion alert:
I think the doomsday prophets should have been ignored. It seems they were random people with no following and most of the attention they seemed to be getting were from Christians denouncing them, resulting in more bad PR for Christianity."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Rayado View PostThat said, there is one question I have yet to see asked, much less answered:
Why should we think that Revelation 12 is the "sign of Jonah?"
The sign definitely happened. I never said the Rapture would happen.

Originally posted by Darfius View PostThe total eclipse was not the Rev 12 sign, which involved more than "the sun going through Virgo." It was an alignment of the sun, moon, the constellations Virgo, Leo, Ophiuchus and the planets Venus, Mars, Mercury and Saturn, which doesn't happen "every now and then."Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
