And we also need to keep in mind that where our Lord was crucified became as Sodom and Egypt at some point in time.

Ok, I don’t want to get too far off the topic of the thread, you bring up some very valid points. There are also quite a few things that line up with the book of Esther, so much so that I personally think there has to be some kind of connection (type/antitype or foreshadowing) between the events...

I have a lot of notes on Esther, here’s some arguments for an Ezekiel 38:21 fulfillment. One of the arguments on Ezekiel 38:21 is that every man’s sword against his brother is referring to the Persian army sent by Haman. And ESTHER 8:17, 9:3 Many Persians decided to not destroy the Jews, but...

The counter argument to that is that <319> doesn’t always mean latter day. Genesis 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days <319>. The phrase “in the last days” is the same phrase used in Ezekiel...

Ok, thanks for the explanations and pointing out the Ezekiel 7:2-3 four corners definition. I was aware of the LXX use of the word “Gog” or “Gogite” instead of “Agag” or “Agagite”. Some time ago I did look at Ezekiel chapters 38 - 39 being fulfilled in Esther where Haman is called an Gogite...

In Colossians 1:23 (written around 62AD) it says the gospel was preached to every creature under heaven. Wouldn’t this mean that Satan was unable to deceive after the millennium if it ended in 33AD? In Revelation 20:8-9 it appears Satan is successful in deceiving the nations since they compass...

Ok, very good, I agree with what you’re saying. I’m having a hard time seeing the millennium being a 968-967 BC to 33 AD event. In Revelation 20:3 Satan is cast into the pit with a seal put upon him. In Revelation 12:7 the war in heaven is between Michael and the dragon (Satan) and their...

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. This verse would seem to fit with the time that the millennium...

If the Antichrist and false prophet are both destroyed prior to the MK then how can the unclean frog like spirits come out of their mouths after the MK?

What about Revelation 19:20? When are the beast and false prophet cast into the lake of fire, before the millennium or after the millennium? I agree that all the unbelievers are going to be judged, no one will escape that. What ever the punishment that is determined will be just.

I agree, it’s not just those who have added to the book that get the plagues. If I’m understanding you correctly then you have the last plagues/bowls being poured out after the millennium and the second coming also taking place after the millennium. We do see the rest of the dead live again...

So are you saying that the last plagues literally happen twice? Once before the millennium and again after the millennium? Revelation 16:13-14 spirits come out of the beast and false prophet and go forth to the kings of the earth. In Revelation 19:20 the beast and false prophet are cast into...

As I’ve said those people who penned out the manuscripts are now dead, we can’t know for certain what their intentions were. If someone were to say today that they have an eighth bowl of wrath, then they are adding to the book of Revelation. Almost no one is going to change any of the trusted...

I’m not saying the plagues can’t happen in the future, I’m saying they can’t be literal unless you can show how those who have already disobeyed the warning participate in literal plagues, the plagues written in the book of Revelation. What it shows is that the book of Revelation was altered in...

Ok, if three people all got the bubonic plague at the same time, with one being a true believer, one being a person who added to Revelation, and one who was an atheist, you would conclude that the reason the person who added to the Bible got the plague was solely due to their action of adding to...
