The Revelation 13 Sea Beast and the Rev. 13 Land Beast were long since destroyed back in AD 70. They are both ancient history. The entire image of Daniel was then brought down by the single blow of Christ the "stone" kingdom which has continued to steadily grow in size since then, and will...

No, let's not talk Josephus. It's not necessary to quote Josephus to determine when Revelation was written. All that is necessary is scripture's own internal witness with its own language. THIS is what gives solid proof for an early date anywhere from late AD 59 until no later than AD 60...

Not according to all of Revelation's internal evidence. All of it combined narrows down Revelation's composition date to a period between late AD 59 and early AD60, just prior to the disastrous Laodicean earthquake.

The "sun" and the "moon" in this text have to be understood in Biblical terminology. In Joseph's dream, the sun and moon represented his own father and mother - the origins of the nation of Israel - along with the stars representing all the sons of Jacob / Israel (Genesis 37:9-10). To have...

YES. Totally agree with you on this, along with the scriptures that back it up. Satan is dead as a doornail since AD 70. God predicted in Isaiah 27:1 that He would slay that ancient serpent, the dragon. He accomplished this by burning Satan to ashes on the earth, as Ezekiel 28:18-19 also...

TS, if you can't see Christ and His disciples all casting out devils from all those cities they went to, then you have a serious problem with reading comprehension. The context surrounding this Luke 10 chapter is replete with the subject of devils being cast out of individuals in Israel. Even...

Sorry, but Matthew disagrees with you. The "Great Tribulation" which Christ described in Matthew 24 would not take place at the end of the world. That is because Christ said that there would not be a comparable tribulation such as that "great tribulation" either before or afterward in history...

The scriptures show us just how demonic possession had saturated the nation of Israel in the first century. Christ sent out 70 individuals into the various cities of Israel to which He would be coming, and they ALL returned rejoicing with the news that the demons were subject to them in...

The Olivet Discourse included Christ's pronouncement of judgment against the physical structure of the Old Jerusalem temple which the Jews were so proud of. All of that grandeur for which Herod had spent so lavishly would not endure past that generation. It was destroyed down to the last stone...

The Roman army coming against Jerusalem was leading a multi-national coalition with auxiliary armies joined to the Roman legions. Josephus lists them in Wars 3.4.2 as coming from King Antiochus, Agrippa, and Sohemus, and the king of Arabia, as well as troops of horsemen from Syria. The...

It was BOTH physical armies AND spiritual armies that were arrayed against Old Jerusalem in the AD 66-70 period. Jerusalem became "a prison for every unclean spirit" (Rev. 18:2) during those tumultuous years when Jerusalem was besieged by both physical and spiritual armies fighting against it...

Oh, I agree that this was a severe problem within the city of Jerusalem in the AD 66-70 period. The city of Old Jerusalem became a prison for every unclean spirit in existence (Rev. 18:2 and Isaiah 24:21-23). The entire demonic realm was gathered together and "shut up in the prison" of...

But John's messenger NEVER described Mystery Babylon as being a "spirit". He called it a literal city. That city of Old Jerusalem was guilty of the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus. The Jerusalem religious leadership killed many in the early church, beginning with Stephen, and going...

It's true that corruption inevitably keeps cropping up in the church body, since it is composed of erring humanity. We are a work in progress. And I agree that at the final return of Christ, all remaining human evil will be dealt with permanently. But I disagree with using the title of...

Well, it's verifiable in scripture that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" (Lazarus) was different from John the son of Zebedee. Very easy to prove. John the fisherman, son of Zebedee, was not "known to the high priest" with direct access to the high priest's palace trial of Christ, and intimate...

LOL, that is mild compared to what I have been called many times before. It's all in the family....

He sure did. John Eleazar (Lazarus) supplied the material for the gospel of John, the epistles of 1, 2, and 3rd John, and the book of Revelation. Also, once John Eleazar's (Lazarus's) task of caring for Mary before she died in the 40's was finished, he was then commissioned by the early...

This statement is a bit simplistic, since it lumps all those of every variety of Preterism into one basket. There is as much variety in Preterism as there is in any denomination. Just as there is error found in every single denomination as well. To accuse Preterism of teaching lies is too...

Of course Jesus didn't lie. That "disciple whom Jesus loved" in John 21:22 was Lazarus - NOT John the son of Zebedee which Christ had predicted would die a death like the Master's. Lazarus died and Jesus resurrected him, changed into an immortal, glorified body, just a little while before...

You are fighting against the Greek language itself by trying to make the word "aion" for "age" mean the same thing as "oikoumene" or "kosmos" which means "world". Scripture presents the continuation of regular human history progressing even AFTER Christ's bodily return to the Mount of Olives...
