    Who is (mystery) Babylon the great?

    I believe that the bible tells us that the mystery of Babylon the great is the first century city of Jerusalem. Is Babylon the great that the book of Revelation talks about really the same Babylon that Isaiah 21 and 47 or Zechariah 2 prophesied about? If so then why is it called mystery...

    What and when is the rapture?

    Part 1 Introduction Does the bible really teach us that the rapture is the church being rescued by Jesus from a 7 year tribulation? Actually, the rapture or a seven year tribulation is not mentioned in the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation shows the church going through a 3 1/2 year...

    Partial preterisim and revelation chapter by chapter-part 2

    Chapter 18: John records a lament by the world over Jerusalem’s death. He ends the lament with the statement that “in her was found the blood of … all who have been slain on earth”, directly linking to Christ’s statement that Jerusalem held the guilt for “all the righteous blood shed on earth”...

    Partial preterisims and revelation chapter by chapter part 1

    This is a good review I came across and although I don’t agree with every detail it is pretty close to what I believe PP in Revelation Chapter 1: Jesus appears to John, to give exhortation to the seven churches. The “coming of the Son of Man” is not referring to the Second Coming, but to...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was fulfilled

    Revelation 20:4 4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark...

    Where does Jesus reign in heaven or on earth?

    1 Corinthians 15:24-26 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Notice that Paul says...

    Will there be or is there a need for a future Messianic temple age?

    Will there be or is there a need for a future Messianic temple age? What is the Jewish belief in Moshiach or the messiah? One of the principles of Jewish faith enumerated by Maimonides is that one day there will arise a dynamic Jewish leader, a direct descendant of the Davidic dynasty, who...

    Could the two witnesses be from the past?

    A lot of people believe that the two witnesses will be people from the past in the bible like Mosses and Elijah because they appeared at the transfiguration or Enoch and Elijah because they didn’t die. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15 we may not all die but they were changed as our bodies will die...

    There are only four verses in the entire bible that uses the word antichrist 1 John 2:18 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 1 John 2:22 22 Who is the liar...

You can not comprehend the bible as a whole without comprehending its individual passages and you cannot comprehend its individual passages without comprehending the bible as a whole. The individual passages can never be...

    When and why will God end our world?

    To get to the answer of this question we need to go to the only true source the bible and see when and why did God judge the world before. The only time this happened was back in Genesis chapters 4, 5 and 6. There is much to learn about the end times in these three chapters more than most people...
