    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    The basis for the concept of Interfaith, has its origins with the Zionist Jews, not the Pope!! The Pope is only following/obeying the Jewish concept as a true modern day Pharisee (religionist), that he is. The origin of "Interfaith" is being based on a Jewish understanding, that they call The...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    If you are meaning that the doctrine of Christ is to be considered equal to Buddhism, Hinduism, and many similar faiths, that deny that Jesus, God's ONLY begotten Son Himself, has come in the flesh, then yes that would be what "interfaith" is. If that be the case, then all "born again"...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Hellooo, "that spirit of antichrist" is in the SINGULAR, but INFECTS the many, which are of the PLURAL. It's not ONLY about Religion!! It's about everyone who denies that Jesus our Savior has come in the flesh.

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    You don't know WHAT "the HIDDEN wisdom of God" is!! Though it be present in attendance, It doesn't thrive in any of the denominational churches. 1 Cor. ch. 2. I and a few here can assure you, it is definitely NOT that of "the wisdom of men", which is ALL the scholarly doctrines and traditions...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    You took away only what YOU wanted to glean, and did not perceive by the Holy Spirit what I said: "Interfaith is fine, as long as it is being sought after in "the hidden wisdom of God", and not by "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. ch. 2." Just on this site alone, we all are speaking to each other by...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    It's scriptural in the NT. I'm sure you can find it. That is your perogative, according to your understanding. Interfaith is fine, as long as it is being sought after in "the hidden wisdom of God", and not by "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. ch. 2. Do you "have the mind [spirit] of Christ", or...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Well, not necessarily, if one is focussing on "bugs". You might consider the more logical alternative, a Locust tree. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust_tree

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Yes, I do "catch the jist" of what you are saying, and it is very good. As you imply, through "the mind of Christ" within us, we can know the "hidden wisdom of God", aka "the things of God", but because of our limitations in this flesh, we can only "know in part". Your counsel is wise, and is...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Yes! Which is descriptive of the joint ministry of John the Bapist and Jesus. John was for 6 mos., and Jesus was for 3 years. = 1260 days. The drought is symbolic of the Holy Spirit not coming down from heaven to people, which is the early and latter rain. Edit: though you are not requesting...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Correct. I'll take this one step at a time. I'm not saying that I have the answer, but rather that our approach may be all wrong. Most Christians approach the verses, that you listed, literally and secularly. KJV Rev. 11:8 And their [preordained] dead bodies shall lie in the street of the...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    To much of what you say, I agree. But as to who John the Baptist was, he came in the spirit (character/nature) of Elijah, of which was promised in Malachi 4:5-6. However, before I fully agree with anyone, or myself, I look to the authority of Christ's words as being the truth of what we should...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    No, I will not be going on and on about the physical manifestation of that prophecy in Rev. 9:1-11, of how evil spirits do cause "hurt" through men who are "unsaved". You simply disagree, and that is fine with me. But, what will you say of Rev. 9:12-21, when that comes to pass, whereby 1/3 of...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Mat. 1 [20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Prior to Jesus being conceived in the flesh of His...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    When did I not show spirits/demons USING people for their own purposes?? "The symbolic word of a "scorpion", used in Rev. 9:1-11, is definitely relative to the literal manifestation of Satan to HURT men, by literally stinging them, using people who have the medical authority to do so." [10] And...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    "Rain" is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, as in the "early rain" and the "latter rain". During the joint minisistry of John the Baptist and Jesus [Zech. 4:14], who both ONLY were born with the Holy Spirit, it did not symbolically "rain" on the earth (people), except THROUGH THEM for 3.5 years...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Very interesting, which somewhat runs parallel to my understanding, but is 2024+/- years in the past. I perceive the "Two anointed ones" of Zech 4:14 are the Two Witnesses, being John the Babtist and Jesus, who did come before "that great and terrible Day of the LORD". Of all people in the...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Private interpretations are derived by the wisdom of men through scholarly learning by the mind of "the natural man". Unfortunately, the majority of professing Christians are saturated by denominational traditions and the doctrines of men, aka church-ianity**. John 14:26; 1 John 2:27. After...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    My point is, there is a reason why Jesus used the word scorpion, when the word serpent was sufficient in Luke 10:19. The reason is, Jesus was going to use that word again in Revelation 9:1-11, but this time it would be to describe a literal prophetic event in time, whereby those who are "sealed"...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    According to the Holy Spirit in Paul, He says that we are to compare spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Cor. 2 [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    I read both of your posts #3 and 4, to which I agree. Many apply those scriptures of Luke 10:19-20 to be only spiritual in meaning, and therefore they conclude that the manifestations are spiritual only also. However, if we are to apply the reality of what demons do through physical men of this...
