Kaps89 may I say your response to the doldrums seems to be spot on. ‘Stepping up’ your walk in Christ is our only option when trials come our way. Our salvation is secure and how we may feel about it or ourselves at any given moment will not separate us from God’s love...

We may have to agree to disagree, Psalm 104 ‘the mountains rose the valleys sank’ isostatic adjustments could have taken years, even for the tops of mountains, if they began rising at a low elevation. Sedimentation geology is a popular topic with creation science ministries and I think a person...

Not sure what your point is, all of the earth was covered for about 5 months but some areas could have been covered for years, giving some organisms several life cycles. It’s also possible young and old organisms survived the flood and burial. No one can use the age of organisms with brief...

If a worldwide flood were to occur right now, then the young would become fossilized in sediment with the old. organism maturity does not measure flood longevity.

The sediments were deposited along with the mature organisms. Deposition could have occurred very quickly and in stages. Moreover Psalm 104 mentions how the ‘mountains rose’ and ‘valleys sank’ which has significant meaning. The theory of plate tectonics, although immensely popular, was not...

But they were at one time for the fossils to be on the mountains: so at one time the mountains were under water.

Also the continents may not have been fragmented like they are now

To add to this, people have found fossils on the highest mountain peaks, which backs up a literal reading of Genesis.

Here's a snippet from an earlier post...Genesis 7 states that the 'waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth...all...were covered'. And that' 'all flesh...died'; so the Flood was global and covered the whole Earth, killing everything that breathed air. Moreover, 85% of the rocks on Earth's...

I can see you have put some thought into this. Another thought would be the BC dates are not in the Bible, scholors derived them through genealogies and events that transpired at known dates. Using these data Bishop Ussher placed the beginning of the world around 4004 BC and the Flood around...

around 2300 BC, based on Bible geanologies and events.

Excellent, I am blessed today for the same reason. But Pipp you don't have to call me 'Sir'; I haven't been knighted by the Queen...at least not yet :)

are you spending Thanksgiving with family?

Most of the trumpet events mimick the plagues in Egypt, including the locusts. However the last 3 trumpets are 3 'woes' and all three woes are essentially made up of supernatural events. So the locusts could really be spiritual beings rising out of hell or they could be natural locusts as they...

Yes it was the Roman army that destroyed the temple in 70AD

Everlasting righteousness from God's perspective, our sins are forever forgiven by His Son. Daniel 9 was timed out to the hour 500+ years in advance. The Isaiah and Luke verses are more about events rathar than dates.

Yes Jesus did all those things when he died on the cross, Matt 24 talks about things that will happen before 'this generation shall pass' which was Jacob's trouble, destruction of the temple and scattering of Jews.

A modern interpretation of Daniel 70 weeks is to remove the final 70th week from the previous 69 consecutive weeks and assign it to some unknown time in the future. Classic Daniel 9 interpretation is the 70th week ended right after the 69th week, around the time of Christ, and Jacob's trouble...

Verses like Romans 5:3-4 show the Bible claims that tribulations are a part of God working in our lives and we should expect tribulations and not expect to be raptured out of them. May I ask why do you think the time of Jacob's trouble will last 7 years?

Romans 8:28 "...all things work together for good to them that love God..."
