Exodus 32:32  But now, if you will only forgive their sin - but if not, blot me out of the book that you have written. 33 But the L-rd said to Moses, " Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book." Deuteronomy 24:16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. 2 Kings 14:6 Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the Lord commanded: “ Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. ” Jeremiah 31:30 Instead, everyone will die for their own sin ; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge. Ezekiel 3:20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will di e . Since you did not warn Ezekiel 18:1  The word o...

Jesus entry into Jerusalem ~ Cross reference of John 12:12 to Psalm 118:26

Image
I don't think I have much to add here as this is the 4th gospel that records Jesus's entry into Jerusalem. This is very important for the Christian as they think this establishes the crucial link of Jesus to what Zachariah 9:9 prophesied. Like all the other 3 gospels, John also cross references Psalm 118:26 to say what the people will say when Jesus enters Jerusalem. A few points to call out are In the previous 3 gospels, the people shout out "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" when Jesus rides on the donkey(s) while in John, they start cheering him even before he sits on the donkey.[I guess they continued to cheer even after he got onto the donkey] Jesus finds a donkey on him own and does not have ask his disciples to get him one or two donkeys [depends on which gospel you read] you so he can fulfill what Zechariah said. John explains that except Jesus no one know about the Zechariah's prophecy [messiah will make a triumphant entry into Jerusalem]....

Did the "The abomination that causes desolation" happen yet? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 24:15 to Daniel 9:26

Image
In Matthew 24 Jesus prophesies about the destruction of the temple. When his disciples ask Jesus when he will return at the end of the age, I think they were asking when he will return after being resurrected, he says he does not know and only god knows. Matthew was written around 80 CE and the temple was destroyed in 70 CE. Do we call this prophecy or history? Jesus does however share details of the things that will happen between his resurrection and his return. He talks about false prophets coming and claiming that they are Jesus, natural calamities that will occur and finally "the abomination that causes desolation" will have to occur. In verse 29 Jesus says after all these things have happened, immediately he will come and everyone on the earth will see him coming in the clouds with his angels. He does not offer a timeline when all these calamities will end but the trigger for him to return will be " The abomination that causes desolation " The only reference ...
