Well, I got notification that Wally had posted but it is not showing. I will copy and paste it here, and then put my response below it. Be sure to read it! @wally763 ​@MrDonPreston Acually, the best Hebrew Bible scholars are divided on how to even translate this verse. Some believe the power to be scattered/shattered is the power of the "destroyer" of the holy people. I believe that view makes more sense. And it harmonizes with what Daniel revealed in 7:26-27. But in the event the more common translations are correct, the "power" would be what most reputable Bible scholars indicate. It's the power of man's own hands, abilities, resources, and armies. In other words, their socio-political and socio-economic power. You have used those same terms to describe the "heavens and earth" of Israel and other nations. But then you change horses and attempt to equate the "heavens and earth" of 2 Peter 3:12-13 with the old and new covenants. This is incorrect. And it contradicts the established usage of the phrase by the prophets. Over and over we find the “shaking” of the heavens and earth in times of national and world judgment. And it had no covenantal significance whatsoever. Examples can be found in Isaiah 13:1-13; 34:1-10; Ezekiel 32:7-8; Joel 3:16-17; Haggai 2:6-7, 21-22. Bible commentators have long understood how the prophets used terminology like "heavens and earth" to describe times of judgment upon various nations. And the phrase never carried any covenantal significance. Even world class Bible scholars like N.T. Wright say the prophets employ imagery of shaking the heavens and earth, not covenantally, but socio-politically and militarily. There is not one example in the Bible where the "heavens and earth" refer to the old covenant or the new covenant. The phrase is always used in a socio-political way. Not to represent a covenant. The establishment of the New Covenant would certainly be instrumental in bringing about a new heavens and a new earth. But there is no one-to-one correlation. The old covenant law passed away BEFORE the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70. This is made clear in the "typological" first Exodus. The body of Moses (old covenant) was dead and buried BEFORE Joshua (Jesus) led the people across the river into the land of Canaan. Only then was the great city of Jericho (Jerusalem) destroyed. So, the city was no longer "of God" when it was destroyed. It had become just another pagan city. They were of their father the devil. The covenantal relationship between God and "Israel" was never shattered. On the contrary, the book of Hebrews tells us that Israel got an upgrade. A new a better covenant! And the Hebrews writer even quoted from the old testament to remind the saints that God would never leave them nor forsake them. Praise the King who reigns over the house of Israel forever! *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Wally, you are all over the map. On the one hand you claim that the shattering is the breaking the power of the persecutor, BUT THEN, you claim that the power is Israel’s self reliance! That is a radical shift in one single post! As many noted Hebraists have observed, to get the rendering of the shattering of the power of the persecutor you have to alter the Hebrew text. So now, you are taking a position that demands distorting the Biblical text! Troublesome to be sure. And you say that God never promised to shatter Israel’s power. Well, that is PRECISELY WHAT THE TEXT, PROPERLY RENDERED AND SUPPORTED BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF TRANSLATIONS SAYS. Then you say: //But in the event the more common translations are correct, the "power" would be what most reputable Bible scholars indicate.// No, the most common translations- the great majority of them- DO NOT SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE CLAIMING. You have a disturbing tendency to make such claims when you know full well that they are false! Furthermore, God never promised to save Israel all Israel, Israel of the flesh. Israel would be transformed into “the children of promise” (Galatians 4:21ff). Not only that, YHVH said this: For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord. “But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall [a]attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand.” 7 So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds; and I fed the flock. 8 I dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then I said, “I will not feed you. Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other’s flesh.” 10 AND I TOOK MY STAFF, BEAUTY, AND CUT IT IN TWO, THAT I MIGHT BREAK THE COVENANT WHICH I HAD MADE WITH ALL THE PEOPLES. 11 So it was broken on that day. Thus the poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord (Zechariah 11:6-11). And I have already shown that your claim that God never used the term heaven and earth in a covenantal sense is wrong. Commenting on Hebrews 12:25f William Lane noted this: “The explicit association of ‘the earth’ with Sinai and the old covenant (v. 25b, 26a) implies that ‘the heaven’ is to be associated with the new covenant (25ac). ‘Earth’ and ‘heavens’ are symbols of the revelation at Sinai and of the new covenant revelation to the writer’s generation, respectively.” (William Lane, Word Biblical Commentary, Hebrews 9-13, Vol. 47b (Dallas, Tx: Word Publishers, 1991), 480). Other scholars agree. Your appeal to the typology to create a doctrine that the Law passed before AD 70 fails in light of Jesus’ and Paul’s emphatic teaching. Not one jot or one tittle of the Law (or the prophets) could pass until it was all fulfilled. All of the Law, “all things written” were fulfilled in AD 70)- not at the cross. Therefore, the Law could not pass until AD 70. You can deny this all you want but it does not change the facts. Here is another example of your distortions and manipulations. You claim that the “power” of the holy people in Daniel 12 is: //It's the power of man's own hands, abilities, resources, and armies. In other words, their socio-political and socio-economic power. You have used those same terms to describe the "heavens and earth" of Israel and other nations.// So, Israel’s power was “the power of man's own hands, abilities, resources, and armies...their socio-political and socio-economic power.” Tell me, Wally, was Israel’s “power of man's own hands, abilities, resources, and armies...their socio-political and socio-economic power” shattered in AD 70? Yes or No? Do not fail to answer this! You claim I have used those same terms in other posts. So what? That does not mean I define it that way in Daniel12! You are being dishonest here. Different contexts determine the proper definitions, so for you to suggest, by innuendo, that I am contradicting my understanding of the power of Israel as it "might" be used in other contexts is irrelevant. I don’t have any more time for you this morning. But make absolutely sure that you answer each of these questions and that I get a notification of it. And then, do not make another post, on another video, that is not directly relevant to the subject of the video. Do you understand?

A day is as a thousand to God. It can mean one day OR a thousand. It depends on the CONTEXT.

I appreciate the history brought to the table but I believe there are a few problems: 1) The dead and those who are alive and remain don't travel of their own volition to "go meet" the coming King so as to escort Him back. They are seized or snatched away to the meeting place, having no idea what's going on until it's happening. We have to ask why it even needs to be a harpazo, or snatching. But I'll get into that in point 3. 2) Concerning your other video about "one being taken and the other left", with "taken" being paralambanó... Mt 24:39 where "the flood came and "took" [carried] them all away", this is a different "taking" term in the Greek, which is airó. This type of being taken always involves physical taking, lifting, carrying, like picking up your mat and going home, or picking up the toys, or being carried away by a flood. Whereas paralambanó in Mt 24:40-41 has two potential types of uses - one being a reception type of taking like Joseph taking Mary to be his wife, and the other is like leading or directing someone somewhere. This aspect does work with the historical component of your explanation where in times of warfare, namely judgment, quality people were taken, and the unappealing folks were left. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, scripture does support that in the Great Tribulation invasion of "Zion", some will be taken captive. But we must also question if Jesus could have been referring to what He said in John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and RECEIVE (paralambanó) you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Left alone, it seems paralambanó in Mt 24 could mean either, yes. However, seeing how in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Paul said, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be [siezed /snatched away] together with them in the clouds to the "MEETING" (it's a NOUN) of the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.", this cannot possibly be a "Hey brothers and sisters, let's go meet our King and bring Him home" scenario after all, rather, it's a snatching of His people to Himself, then I have to believe this is what Jesus meant in Mt 24:40-41, that "Then two will be in a field. One will be RECEIVED unto Me, and the other will be left." But interestingly, based on your historical component, yes, a King does come to take the "quality" (the spotless) to Himself. See, His coming starts, as we all know, with an invasion. And He will come take the Daniels and such to be where He is while the Great Tribulation ensues. 3) Why is such an intense term used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 concerning how the Lord calls His people unto Himself? Why does it have such a violent connotation? First, it needs to be! Remember, this is about people being changed from mortal to immortal! But more than that, the harpazo adds profound meaning to the CONTEXT of 1 Thessalonians 4 and must not be ignored. Moreover, the over-arching picture of what's going on here needs to be considered which requires evaluating MANY other passages. And the bottom line is when Jesus receives His people to Himself, it is a rescue. The dead and those who are alive and remain aren't simply gathered during a peaceful time. No, it's a seizing during times when the TRUE believer is being hated and marked by the world for destruction. How is this not considered? The Bible says in 1 Thess 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape". Note that "travail" is the same Greek term Strong's 5604 ódin as Mt 24:8 where Jesus says "these are the BEGINNING of the birth pains (ódin)". In other words, by the time the apostates are prophesying "peace and safety", the birth pangs have already been going on for some time because NOW it's full on ACTIVE LABOR. And sudden destruction comes, and they, the apostates, will not escape. But... who will? Note also that just as 1 Thess 5:3 does not happen before the "beginning of sorrows", it also isn't going to happen at the END of Jacob's Trouble. Who would be prophesying peace and safety at the end of the Great Tribulation? No, they claim peace and safety when sudden destruction (the Great Tribulation) BEGINS! Jesus tells us in Mt 24, AFTER the gospel of THIS KINGDOM (which is POWER, the greater works) is witnessed (demonstrated) to ALL NATIONS, THEN the end will come, starting with the abomination of desolation. Hence, PRIOR to the commencement of the final 3 1/2 years, the time allotted to the antichrist, before Jesus comes down to earth. Psalm 18 also discloses that, during a time of vast destruction when the enemy has become too much to bear, boom, God comes down in thick clouds and rescues the blameless: Ps 18:16 "He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me.They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He also brought me out into a BROAD PLACE; He delivered me because He delighted in me. The Lord REWARDED ME (BEMA SEAT) according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me." And there are other passages that show that the Great Trib starts because God is angry over what is done to His people in the Old Testament. Not to mention, Jesus warns right in Mt 24 about the great persecutions, even some being killed. Yes, that's always happened, but so have wars and earthquakes. Yet, we know all the birth pains will increase in severity, including the persecution and betrayal, all over the globe, worse than ever. And not to mention the great apostasy that occurs BEFORE the antichrist claims to be god. And what is the greatest aspect of the great falling away (which has already been in progress for a LONG time)? It's when not only the non Messianic Jews, along with the Muslims, perceive the antichrist as the "messiah", but also the corporate CHURCH. The day this happens, which is also when the apostate church rides the beast to have true believers murdered all over the world, God's fury is over the top! And this is when the sun and moon darken and stars (including satan) fall from the heavens and the whole earth shakes! The trumpets are blown because Zion is about to be invaded by monsters that come from the bottomless pit - and it will be such as never has been nor ever will be again. Hence, the Great Tribulation. And it will start off just as it was in the days of Noah. Despite all the chaos all over the globe, nations and cities where calamity hasn't yet struck will go on living, drinking, eating and giving in marriage. Life won't stop for them. And they, the lukewarm idolatrous church who listen to the false prophets who cry peace and safety, who are now also embracing the amazing antichrist, won't know what's coming UNTIL IT STRIKES. THEN... two will be in the field. One will be received, and the other... left to endure the Great Tribulation.

Yes it’s bad and news isn’t reporting kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XGgGaYgNefp9Esi=LmdBf91MHkZdOKWk

to me, as i read the old testament, was always about Israel...and their feast days...which they alone enjoyed being in covenant with their God...

where does it state in the bible that sacrifice was for 70 nations...?

well, if it's a feast, the offering of 10 bulls per day over 7 days feasts time...is no problem seeing these bulls "meat" fed many Israelite during that feast time.

i thought about hearing aids too, being 67 YO . . . anyway. . . idk. maybe one day

I've heard and seen countless reports and eyewitness accounts of FEMA demonstrating what our government seems to do best: get in the way and create conflict and contradiction. Our government basically IS one giant contradiction.

Covenant Creation likes to make us think of the symbolic nature instead of the visible creation... As you mentioned today. God used the visible judgement to speak of the invisible coming of the son of man. this gives us the same thing with the Genesis story... God used the visible, literal as he did with Assyria and the physical miracles to portray the symbolic (antitype) of the New Testament.

Don, please take a look at this verse, Daniel 9:27 New American Standard Bible 27 And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, *but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering;* and on the wing of abominations will come the one who makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, gushes forth on the one who makes desolate.” Don, according to that verse, sacrifice and offerings would END in the middle of the week. That leaves us with a time, times, and half a time without any valid sacrifices being offered. So how do you have 70 bulls offered at the very end of the days? And were those 70 bulls essential to their "objective" forgiveness of sins? Yes or No?

John 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. The miracles, signs, and wonders of our Lord's first Advent are the focal point of Christian faith. There is not one inspired word written after 70AD like this. No inspired writer points us back to the destruction of Jerusalem as an article of faith. No inspired writer points us back to the destruction of Jerusalem to instill faith. It was 1900 years before uninspired men began to write books pointing us to the destruction of Jerusalem as proof of our Lord's Messiahship. Even the wicked and adulterous generation of Jews who would experience the destruction of Jerusalem were given only one sign of His Messiahship. And that was the sign of the prophet Jonah. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is recorded in all four gospels with eyewitnesses! All given by inspiration of God!

And after 62 weeks an anointed one will be cut off and will be no more. That was Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection and ascension. And a nation of a prince will come - the Roman army with its generals. But he will make the covenant difficult for many. These are the believers, followers of Jesus, and also the religious Jews. The 70 weeks were fulfilled in the last days 30-70 AD; in the middle of the week he will abolish sacrifices and offerings. And in the sanctuary there will be an abomination that causes desolation (the Zealots), until the destruction that is decreed is poured out on the desolation (Daniel 9:27). These were the Jewish-Roman wars 67-70 AD, the last three and a half years from Revelation 11:2: But leave out the outer court of the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles; and they will trample on the holy city for forty-two months. In the end, the Jewish rebels were destroyed, and Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed! Blessings

Just ordered your book. Thank you for your continuous efforts!

revelation is fulfilled right?

Don, you say the word Harpazo does NOT give a direction: neither up or down. True. BUT the context does indicate UP. 1st Thessalonians 4:17 says, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS to meet the Lord in the AIR. Granted air is basically everywhere and clouds can extend to the ground (we call that fog) but tell anyone about clouds in the air and they will automatically look UP.

John 10:37-38 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” John 20:27 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” John 20:30-31 30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

So when is the end of time? Or does this fallen world go on for infinity, sin, sadness, tears, sickness, death, wars, corruption etc etc goes on forever?

I hope that the next book by Mr. Hodge will be on the use of Daniel in the New Testament!

The gentiles are Israel

Mr. Don, at the 25:36 minute mark you explained how Jesus became a Man and lived among men. You haven't denied that Jesus has a body in heaven today. And you no longer believe His flesh and bone body was burned up and consumed when He ascended on high. Do you believe Jesus is still a Man today? Will you have a body in heaven?

Anyone who has studied the first Exodus typology knows that Moses (who represents the old covenant law) died and was buried on the _wilderness_ side of the Jordan River. The LORD made sure that Moses "passed away" before the children of Israel crossed over into the Promised Land. God even buried the body of Moses Himself in an undisclosed location. This happened over a month before Joshua (Jesus) led the people across the river into the land of Canaan. At this point, the sons of Israel were "circumcised again" and the LORD announced that He had rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off of them. Then they camped in Gilgal and kept the Passover on the 14th day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. After this, the people proceeded to Jericho with the Ark of God's covenant no doubt leading the way. Only then did the great city of Jericho (Jerusalem) fall by the instructions of God. This story should make it clear that old covenant passed away BEFORE the fall of Jerusalem in AD70. It was a "prerequisite" to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD70. God would not destroy the temple if He was still honoring the services performed there. By the time the temple fell, God was already dwelling in the New Covenant assembly of God. The temple not made with hands!

There's an election coming up, that's why. The hurricanes were used to gain party attention, affiliation and to circle the wagons. It's political patriotism season.

Thanks Don you have reaffirmed my view that the Antiochus view is correct

​Mr. Don. If a law or covenant has been abrogated, are any of the provisions of that covenant, i.e. its mandates, its promises or penalties (positive or negative) still binding and valid (imposed)?

If all the prophecy of the Lord is fulfilled as written in the book of Revelation. Does the Spirit of the Lord always strive with man unto salvation? Haven't you placed yourself outside the doctrine and book of Life? I think it's blatantly obvious now, and I believe it has been revealed by the Lord. That we are hemmed in, between the expired time of the .M. years and the Great White Throne of Judgement.

I love hearing about your adventures serving The Lord Mr Bell. God bless!!!!! And yes it was nice that Don hosted Larry he's such a gentle spoken Christian I love to listening to him too.

I’m thinking the religious leaders of Jerusalem acted as the goat for Azazel … filling up the measure of their sin … their exit cleansed the house of true Israel.

The old covenant did indeed pass away in the first century. But that is not what the book of Revelation is about. Don wants us to believe the old covenant law was removed in AD 70 to bring in the true forgiveness of sins. But the word "LAW" never appears even once in the entire book of Revelation. And it's not because Jesus or John had a problem using the word LAW. Jesus used the word LAW many times during His earthly ministry. And John includes the word LAW at least 15 times in his gospel. In addition to this, the word "COVENANT" only appears once in the book of Revelation. And that's in 11:19 when the ark of God's covenant is seen in the temple of God in heaven. Which does absolutely nothing to support Don's position. The book of Revelation simply does not support "Covenant" Eschatology. The old covenant passed away before the destruction of Jerusalem.

Don, have you rejected the truth and determined not to return to the truth? Was it Edom Esau (cain) that filled up the measure of their fathers sins. Or are you saying it was Isaac's seed that filled up the measure of their Father's sin? Which is it sir? This Texan girl would like to know!

Those asking a question that you have answers for is on them. Most of us have no reason for argument. I've seen Christian's saying we need to say Yeshua instead of Jesus and keep the feasts, wearing a yamaka etc. From a recommendation so I could get blocked if I reply.

Pray about it if God gives you time do it if he doesn't he doesn't God bless

Welcome back William. Good to see you and of course Don as well.

Good to see both of you back together again.

just an observation- When the Christ mentioned that someone` went to a far country to receive the kingdom` MAY mean Herod`s son, whom had to go to Rome to receive his `credentials` from Caesar (because he had received the kingdom from his father) So the people accepted him as their new temporal/earthly king. Similarly, when the people were asked by Pilate whom they wanted to release- `Bar-Abbas=son-of-the-father) or Jesus = son-of-the-father) the people chose the temporal/earthly `son-of-the-father` just a (theological) observation

If you make EVERYTHING a metaphor, you can MAKE the Bible agree with ANYTHING you say.
