Out of curiosity, in addition to Dr. Michael Heiser, do you also study Dr. Ken Johnson? Both of them are exceptionally gifted and smart. 

Yes, there are a few out there well worth the time. Scholars extraordinary.

I'm finding Dr. Johnson's studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls simply fascinating.

Qumran allowed us to move out of the 'dark ages' of silly religious ideas and embrace more truth.

Some believe this verse is talking about the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Isaiah 29:4 (KJV) And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

In the past, my studies were mainly focused on the Sanhedrin, Pharisees and Sadducees. The Essenes; their writings, culture, place in history and sudden disappearance after Jesus is amazing.

Their math calendar is precise and foretold the birth of Yeshua very close indeed 2-bc to 3-ad

Yep, and other prophesies also not recorded in the O.T., that have so far been completely accurate. As you are aware, the Essenes had their own precise calendar. Fascinating stuff indeed.

It's too lengthily to go into detail, but Luke 7:19-22 is code of sorts to John the Baptist. Where in O.T. scripture is it said, the coming Messiah will raise the dead? If John the Baptist was a member of the Essenes, he would have immediately known Jesus was the true Messiah, from Jesus' statement and from the Essene prophecies, circa 200 B.C. 

Later on, the apostle Paul will reveal the hidden mystery.

It was no mystery to those that read and understood the 'missing' psalm and Psalm 91 along with Solomon's heritage. There is quite a bit if you search it out. All about casting out demons and the like. Solomon and David knew quite a lot as they had both been in the presence of the council and privy to interesting things.

Remember, Yeshua did not use the incantations that the priests used. That is because He was the ultimate Authority in such matters and needed nothing higher. He is and was the Authority!

You've already proven what many here already expected and can see.   I suggest moving on from interacting with myself because Corrie Ten Boom has properly described the [works] you're attempting to push.   And there is literally NO VERSE that puts a secret Coming by Christ.

There is no verse that puts a secret coming by Christ.... that you are aware of. However, here we see the secret coming of Christ.

He will come and He is hidden behind our wall showing himself through the lattice. He will only be seen by those He is coming for. When He comes, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. You ever gone to the zoo and heard the roar of a turtle? Me neither. It's going to be a secret coming.

Song of Solomon

8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. 

10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Even Polycarp, the Disciple of the Apostle John tells us in his Letter to the Philippines Christ returns ONLY ONE MORE time but as JUDGE and KING.

This is easily scripturally proven as incorrect. All eyes will see the coming of the Lord at the 6th seal. There is a rapture BEFORE the wrath of God begins, as we see the great multitude in heaven before the blowing of the 1st trumpet of Gods wrath.

Then we know that the Lord returns with His army in Revelation 19. So if Polycarp says Jesus is only coming one more time, The Word says he is wrong.

If the Church Father's [NEVER] preached what you're preaching, it's a Safe Bet what you're Preaching is WRONG!!

I wouldn't recommend gambling, but if you did, you would lose this bet.

Please feel free to use scripture to disprove anything I am saying, an let the opinions stay at home.

Lot was some sort of city official holding a political office in Sodom? He witnessed and knew everything that was happening. Evidently homosexuality was legalized and fervently practiced.

I see what your saying Dennis, and yes, the rise of all the "gender" stuff, and the legalized marriages does fit well with the days of Lot. Surely what Christ said is referring to our times, the end times.
