The Postmillennial view of Zech 14:4 copied from Ligonier Ministries 👇 "Clues to the symbolic nature of Zechariah 14 are found in the references to the Lord placing his feet on the Mount of Olives (v. 4) and the rivers of living water that flow to the east and to the west from Jerusalem (v. 8). Since God is spirit (Jn. 4:24), we know that He does not literally possess a physical body with physical feet. Furthermore, we have also seen that in the prophetic books, including Zechariah, rivers of living water depict new spiritual life and the final restoration of all creation metaphorically." My Note: the emphasis on the non-literalness of the understanding, it is to be understood spiritually, metaphorically etc. The statement that Jehovah “does not literally possess a physical body with physical feet.” Apparently this type of eschatology has led them to denying the incarnation!

Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. Psalm 81:3 “The New Moon is the symbol of the reappearing of Israel on the scene — not the full moon. The New Moon is their restoration before the Day of Atonement and full blessing” JND

"For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me" Isa. 49:23

And it shall come to pass in all the land, Says the Lord, that two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it: I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. (Zech. 13:8). The prophet predicts that following the striking of the Shepherd by the sword of justice, and the scattering of the flock, a judgment of “fire” occurs. This will happen in “all the land.” It is amazing the twisting and distortion that these two texts suffer at the hands of Amillennial and Postmillennial expositors. In their view, the Jews or Israel are not in view at all, but the Church: represented by the “land,” which passes through a sort of spiritual refining process: pictured by the “fire.” Such an interpretation is to impose a theology of spiritualizing upon the Scriptures which it cannot bear. A vain effort to make prophecy to be fulfilled in the Church. But we can leave such musings and allegorizing of the text behind. The “land” is not the Church but the land of Israel, the ancient territory of Canaan given to the descendants of Abraham.

Acts 18:23 After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Acts 18:23 One of the striking features of early Christianity was the apparent lack of any denominationalism.

Zechariah 14:4. To deny the literal fulfillment of this prophecy, that Christ will literally stand upon the Mount of Olives at His coming is the old Sadduceeism revived. They understand neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. He stood there once -He will stand there again.

For indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed. 1 Cor. 5:7. Wonderful verse showing the Passover is type or shadow of Christ's sacrifice for us.

Mass shootings always raise questions on causes with the predictable political spins. But here’s something else. The Son of Man is coming. He predicted violence would be one of the signs preceding it. There’s always been violence but this mindless meaningless violence is rising.

Acts 15:36-41 - I find the contention between Paul and Barnabas an interesting (if sad) snapshot. I'm not dogmatic on where the fault belongs. It has been said "Paul won the approval of the brethren - Barnabas won the verdict of history." Perhaps both were right and both wrong.

At the Jerusalem council some from the sect of the Pharisees said that unless the Gentiles were circumcisesd: "you cannot be saved." The brethren at the concil concluded this was error and wrote further that the Gentiles should abstain from immorality and idolatry -- "if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well." This was not a requirement for salvation but as a sensitivity to Jewish conscience. Acts 15:1, 5, 21; cf 1 Cor. 10:30-31.

Bible critics scoff at Isaiah’s prediction of Cyrus & that he would restore the temple (Isa. 44:28; 45:1 etc). They make it history not prophecy through their supposed Deutro-Isaiah. But the very point of chapters 44-46 is show Yahweh's predictive power in contrast to idols.
