    4 "These [two witnesses] are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. " The New American Standard Bible. La Habra, CA : The Lockman Foundation, 1986, S. Re 11:4The two witnesses are not in addition to the two olive trees and two lampstands, they are one...

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    I have great respect for many of my friends who hold differing opinions regarding which decree starts the ckock. I wrote, "Gabriel tells Daniel when the prophetic clock is to begin running. However, conservative scholars are divided between at least three different decrees as the one meant by...

    The Anti Christ a Jew?

    A new believer, picking up his/her Bible, would never get from it what you are saying. They would have to be indoctrinated with your system of belief first, a frame of reference. This is called eisegesis, reading into the text a meaning, not exegesis, the critical interpretation of the text. samy

    The Two Witnesses

    WE have been examining the great city in 11:8 as defined in Rev 18, esp verse 24. How is it that the blood of all who have been slain is in Jerusalem? samy

    The Two Witnesses

    What Denver, you were not able to read REV 18. or have you forgotten how to open your Bible? Chaptero 18 describes buying and selling everything--including humans. Money is above every thing. What you didn't notice? Too blinded by something else you already believe? samy

    The Anti Christ a Jew?

    Kriss, concerning your Kenite post--Why would the church in Smyrna be addressed about Kenites (asuming you are correct)? Who cares what the Kenites are saying? But if the believing Jews in Philadelphia and Smyrna are experiencing exclusion from the synagogue because of belief in Jesus, then that...

    The Anti Christ a Jew?

    Kriss-You quoted from the message to Smyrna. And now you are saying something about the message to Philadephia. Are you confused? At the very least you are inaccurate. samy

    The Anti Christ a Jew?

    Kriss, You are quoting Rev 2:8 (out of context) the Lord's encouragement to the church of Smyrna, "8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this: 9 ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are brich), and the...

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    I wrote in my originall post, "A total of 483 years (7 sevens and 62 sevens) had to elapse before the appearance of Messiah the Prince. Starting from 458 B.C. and counting 483 years brings one to A.D. 26, the historically accepted year for the baptism of Jesus and beginning of His public...

    The Two Witnesses

    In chapter 18 of Rev God is condemning a system, a way of life, that his people can becomecome caught up in. it is The Great City, The harlot, in which can be found the blood of all those slain on the earth (last line of chapter 18). God calls for his people to come out of her. Surely you can...

    The Two Witnesses

    (Name calling in posts about the Bible seems really like something off the playground.) If John meant Jerusalem, why didn't he simply write Jerusalem?

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    RE: Antichrist coming from tribe of Dan. In my footnote from my book Total Eclipse; Christ Returns, in chapter 7, where I discuss the sealing of the 144,000 I have a footnote on my source of my statement regarding the early tradition that the antichrist would come from the tribe of Dan. In that...

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    Kriss, I will only deal with specifics with you. I just checked your statement that "God calls Satan a man in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14" against an exhaustive concordance of the King James Version of the Bible (that is what you use I believe), and the word "Satan" does not occurr anywhere in...

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    Kriss, Your string of assertions without any of them saying what you hoped they say really proves nothing. With your zeal, and obvious love for the Lord Jesus, if you could learn to mount a good argument you would be awesome. Read some books on logic. That would help. samy

    The 70 Weeks of Daniel

    Kriss, the oldest church teachings are the Bible, and the oldest extra-Biblical teachings taught he was to be a man from the tribe of Dan. The bible teaches nowwhere that he is Satan but I would argue that he is empowered by the spirit of Satan. samy

    Understanding 666

    We are told by John that the number of the name of the beast is the number of mankind, 600, 60, 6. To understand this number we let the Bible do the job of interpretation. We go to the book of Daniel as we often do in Revelation. Remember in Daniel 2 Nebuchadnezzar's dream. He saw a statue of a...
