The Abomination of Desolation of Matthew 24: Jerusalem Compassed with Armies

James Japan avatarPosted on by 7

The early Protestant Reformers asserted that “Scripture interprets Scripture”, which means the Bible is its own best interpreter. With that in mind, let’s look at the Olivet Discourse as told in two of the three synoptic Gospels of Matthew 24 and Luke 21. I am not including Mark 13 because it’s similar to Matthew 24. Matthew 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel … Continue reading →

Matthew 24 and Luke 21 Compared Verse by Verse: The Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

The best commentator of Scripture is other Scripture! It’s been my observation that the reason much of Matthew 24, also known as the Olivet Discourse, is thought of as an Endtime event is that it’s not compared with the other two accounts of it in the Gospels of Mark and Luke, the two other synoptic Gospels. The Gospel of Luke especially uses different words to describe the events, and when … Continue reading →

It was the first Bible ever that included chapter and verse numbers! All subsequent Bibles followed suit. In this post I am not saying I think the Geneva Bible … Continue reading →

Below is text edited from http://regal-network.com/dispensationalism/ Dispensationalism is a method of Bible interpretation which was first devised … Continue reading →

Summary of revised interpretations of some prophetic Scripture

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

In December 2014, I learned the interpretation of Daniel 9:27 which is held by mainstream Protestant seminaries today was cooked up in 1585 by a Jesuit priest named Francesco Ribera! He was commissioned by the Pope to invent theology that would get the Protestants to stop looking at the papacy, the Pope, as Antichrist. Today most Christians think of Antichrist only as the ruler of the world for 7 years … Continue reading →
