Elohim (singular) is most often used in reference to the God of Israel, but it is also a"place of residence" term (singular). Eg. Demons, angels (sons of God) and spirits of human dead are 'elohim' in a spiritual realm while we currently reside in the physical, human reality plane. Once we receive our glorified bodies and are ruling and reigning with Jesus, will we too be 'elohim'? (Appreciation to scholars like M. Heiser and D. Gilbert)

My son and I had an exciting conversation recently. He is grown, with a family of his own now. He is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ and he tends to be a deep thinker. However, he has become a follower of Reformed Theology and leans heavily toward the Doctrine of Election. He rejects concepts such as Dispensationalism and the Rapture. It seems that we are so far apart on the prophetic scriptures that I am often startled and speechless at how very different we see Mathew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13, Luke chapter 21, etc... When he refers to the statue in Daniel's dream and the Rock that ultimately destroys it all, he views that event as already having happened. Would any of you have a good article, book, set of studies that would do a good job of comparinig and contrasting the two views of the scriptures? Thanks!

The article is complete, but I'm flying off to Israel in the morning and wanted to get this posted before leaving. Please let me know if you have edifying input for the article. Thanks everyone... enjoy! Seven Prophetic Paths will Converge in this Generation - DRAFT It appears that there are seven prophetic paths through scripture that will converge in this generation. Three paths begin at the Genesis 6:3 declaration and weave through scripture to Daniel 9:27. Another path begins at the Jordan River crossing and runs through the Jubilee cycle to that same point. And three more paths are found in the timeline of the modern State of Israel. This document will reveal where these paths can be found in the Bible. Some scripture will be provided here in the article, although, for brevity, the biblical reference will be given for most. All references to a timeline are from the 7049 Biblical Timeline research, since it’s based on scripture and not secular sources. All scriptural references are from the King James version of the Bible. The seven prophetic paths, or ‘prophetic breadcrumbs’ as I like to call them, are explained in the following order: 1) The Genesis 6:3 Declaration and the Appointed Time of Judgement 2) The Time-based Prophetic Breadcrumbs (Path 1) 3) The Genesis 6:3 Spoken Path (Path 2) 4) The Genesis 6:3 Unspoken Path (Path 3) 5) The Jubilee Cycle (Path 4) 6) The Modern State of Israel (Paths 5-7) The Genesis 6:3 Declaration and the Appointed Time of Judgement Recently, someone brought up the passage in Matthew where demoniacs rushed out of the tombs to confront Jesus as he came ashore. Matthew 8:28-29 “And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?” I’d read the passage before, but this time that last part really stood out to me. What was the demoniac talking about, “before the time”? Since I’ve been researching the biblical timeline for a number of years, the gears started turning and I became excited to figure it out. Clearly the demons were concerned that Jesus had come to judge them, and they seemed to be very much aware that it was not the expected time. This means that there is indeed a specific, appointed, time of judgement that demons are well aware of... The full DRAFT article is attached.
