One thing is very clear and for sure and certain .
THis might very well be the most educated generation i have ever seen .
THEY have indeed learned much knowledge
and are e ver learning indeed .
THEY just dont seem to be able to COME TO THE TRUTH . Even the most simple basic TRUTH
they do wrest and change , o mit things . And thou gh they sound ever so wise
they have no idea that all they really do is cause the scrips to say something IT NEVER WAS MEANT TO MEAN .
IN fact its actually a lie . But as i said you cannot say they aint learned
you can only say THEY AINT LEARNED IN THE TRUTH OF GOD but rather what man says and calls is truth
and c liams is of GOD . And that my friend will not bode well for them at all .
You being out in left field and forbidding scripture will not go well for you at all.
You have zero idea what you are talking about.

They bait . for all they have are feelings and eomitoins , victim cards and accusations .
They waste time arguing over how many animals were brought onto the ark as if that is relevant to discussions about end times prophecy. That's the kind of people we're dealing with here. Babes in Christ who can only sip on milk and are not able to eat solid food.

Do not let the blindness of this man wear you out or down .
No chance of that.

i never said there was TWO brides . ONLY that others t each such a thing .
These lost souls actually beleive there is a kingdom of GOD , another of heaven , and etc .
NOPE same KINGDOM as yes IT IS ALL ABOUT those who BLEIEVE ON JESUS .
Every jew and every gentile WILL WAIL ON JESUS day WHO DENIED HE IS CHRIST .
Their flesh cannot save them . Being of the lineage of abraham cannot save them . ONL Y JESUS CAN SAVE THEM
and THE GENTILE . i hope you UNDERSTAND that .
The ot Jews are the OLD COVENANT.
THE WIFE GONE AWHORING.

THEY ARE COVENANT.
That is just a fact
A covenant bride / wife.

You really think the bride of Christ is not illustrated in the earthly family????
THE BIBLE SAYS IT IS.
The earthly family is a type of heavenly dimensions.

FATHER
SON
WIFE
BRIDE
CHILDREN
PRODUGAL.

EVEN SHEEP IS USED describing believers.

God betrothed to israel, and takes Israel as his wife
Ezekiel 16.
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them

Gomer in Hosea is depicted as ISRAEL purchased BY GOD AS A WIFE.

Your depictions are way way off.
You have no idea what you are talking about.

That was a real long explanation you brought .
BUT just so you know , ANY JEW that rejects JESUS as CHRIST
EVEN JESUS SAID YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL . SO wife or no wife THEY GOING DOWN ON JESUS DAY bud ,
IF , IF they beleive NOT JESUS IS THE CHRIST . I see you been indoctrinated a bit .
However you can clear this up by admitting the simple truth .
ANY JEW and ANY GENTILE that denies JESUS IS THE CHRIST , THEY ARE OF THE DEVIL .
IN fact the only way for a jew or a gentile to be freed from the power of satan and darkness
IS by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST . try reading the bible .
Go ahead . call me a liar . SAY out loud i am a liar and its okay IF a jew beleives not on JESUS . BUT
IF you do , YOU JUST CALLED not me a liar , BUT JESUS HIMSELF ONE . so on better thought
YOU BETTER NOT say i LIE about that .

What a lost mindset my friend . What on earth does electricty have to do
WITH BELEIVING ON JESUS or anything else i wrote .
You running out of gas my friend . YOU are running out of steam .
NOW bring JESUS WORDS and prove what i say is a lie .
YE are of your father THE DEVIL . WHO DID JESUS SAY THIS T OO .
AND what were they saying to JESUS . THEY said WE HAVE ONE GOD .
JESUS said your father Is the devil . Go on now
BRING ME some of JESUS words . Sorry bud but the flesh profits NOTHING . NO . NOTHING .
THE JEW and the GENTILE MUST absolutely BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST to be saved .
AND those jews and gentiles who hear not JESUS
WELL they KNOW NOT or HEAR NOT GOD . AS JESUS HIMSELF would say to THE JEWS .
SO go on , pump some more dispensationislm or whatever other ism you try and to justify.
THE PLAIN words oF JESUS will SILENCE ANY LIE of men .

You take offense and whine like a little baby when someone makes fun of your nonsense, but look at how you talk to others. You can give it out, but can't take it. Such a hypocrite.

People will beleive just about anything so long as it supports what they desire to beleive . darn sure AINT TRUTH
for most . Just keep on pointing to Christ and all sound biblical doctrine . The CHRIST
and later apostels sure did warn us about how many would be given to fables specially near the end .
Fable upon fable is what i now o ften see being taught within a lot of even christendom .

Yes. Just look above at the discussion rebuilder 454 is having with Taken and you can see that. They are trying to tie that into Jesus talking about the days before His coming being like the days of Noah before the flood came or something along those lines and trying to determine how many animals were brought on the ark and how long that took. As if that had anything to do with what Jesus was saying in relation to the days of Noah and the days before His coming leading up to His second coming. They are the kind of childish people that waste their time on this forum with that kind of nonsense instead of using coherent arguments to back up sound doctrine.

Very sad days these are my friend to watch what has become christendom .

The passage describes the end of the great tribulation. This is the end of the age which occurs at the 6th seal. You seem to want to pretend that there is no 7th seal containing 7 trumpets and 7 vials of Gods wrath.
The 7th seal is silence. Hello!

Revelation is full of recaps. Compare them. They all end at the second coming. These are all different camera views of the same game.

Exactly. People don't even think carefully about why there is silence in heaven at the 7th seal. The reason is that no one is there because Jesus, His angels and the souls of the dead in Christ will have descended from heaven at that point. He will return at the last trumpet, which is the seventh trumpet, and that is parallel to the 7th seal.

Yeah right. Pay no attention to the 7 trumpets and 7 vials in the wrath of God. They are behind the curtain and don't count.

That's a big load for sure.

Pray tell, when do those imaginary trumpets and vials occur............or do we pretend that they are not really there?

Why are you so childish? Do you plan to ever grow up? Just because someone sees recapitulations in the book of Revelation and sees the seals, trumpets and vials as being parallel to each other doesn't mean they are ignoring the trumpets and vials. You are like the babes in Christ who Paul rebuked in 1 Corinthians 3. You are still sipping spiritual milk when you should be taking in solid food by now.

These are recaps of the intra-Advent age.

Read what I write instead of what you have been taught.

I would not have the faith needed to believe that God changed His pattern specifically for the 7th seal. As each seal is opened John SAW or BEHELD what happened.

For instance, look at a few of the seals. You can check every single seal. The pattern is the same

Revelation 6
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Revelation 6
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Now look at the 7th seal. The pattern is the same. The seal is opened and John saw the event that was to happen.

Revelation 8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Why do you think that God changed His pattern and when seventh seal is opened what John saw is irrelevant to the seal that is opened, according to your belief? That does not seem logical, likely, practical, or sensible to me. What am I missing?
