It was not that long ago that the end time prophicies were termed allegorical, but as we move through time with more technilogical advances, we see that the prophicies are literal ( a first century man trying desperately to describe 21st century technology). In Biblical studies, we must search for the 'key' as in the book of Revelation - the angel said to John - look and write 'what you see.'Hepzibah The Watchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459404010681683434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-17063871208465829652010-04-02T08:57:06.297-04:002010-04-02T08:57:06.297-04:00Blaine,

He's the perfect Savior, all-in-one, everything good.<br /><br />I first learned of the Two Messiah theory from a note in Spiros Zodhiates' Complete Word Study Old Testament. Fred Klett filled in more details. <br /><br />There have been many attempts to separate Christ into multiple pieces, including modern multiple personality theories, and the old Gnostic dualism of spirit/flesh with two separate beings - "Christ" (spiritual), and "Jesus" (flesh) - who were united temporarily (and other such nonsense). Scripture and orthodoxy only give us One Person, Jesus Christ, with two natures, divine and human. It's too much for our minds, but not too much for God.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DerekTHEOparadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214982083585956095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-59868934579079184812010-04-01T21:30:11.154-04:002010-04-01T21:30:11.154-04:00Derek - This is such a fascinating topic, and brin...Derek - This is such a fascinating topic, and brings so much glory to Christ! <i>"Though Christ's human weakness made Him mortal, His divine strength made Him invincible. He died and rose again.</i> I love that statement - a perfect picture of the tender shoot and the rugged root.<br /><br />Also - I had never heard of the "two Messiah" theory...The Blainemonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157965154638461280noreply@blogger.com
