    Jesus was referring to the coming days of vengeance in 70 AD when many would die when the Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem to put down a Jewish revolt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(70_CE)

    One of the things that stood out to me in your sentence was "it's" image. It appears that you are referencing Revelation 20:4, NIV. I use the KJV which has "his" image. Go to this link and you can compare translations. The beast-king has to be man - for his number 666 is the number...

    The Jews are not going to worship the beast. The Jews are going to turn to Jesus once their bad experience with the Antichrist - their perceived messiah - takes place, when he goes into the temple, sits, claims to have achieved God-hood. It is correct though that the Jews will go through the...

    Because you need to understand in Amos 5, Amos was addressing the elite and rulers of the northern kingdom (the kingdom of the ten northern tribes when the nation of Israel split after Solomon's death). Amos was prophesying that the northern kingdom under the rule of Jeroboam II would go into...

    Unravelling Revelation

    I think the 4 living beasts represent the earthly beings of God's creation. i.e. with faces of....the lion, the animal kingdom; the calf, the domesticated animals; the eagle, the birds; the man, humans. All under God's sovereignty.

    Hal Lindsay And Time LaHaye Were Deceived

    The day of the Lord did not take place back then. The elite and rulers of the northern kingdom were only hoping for it, as the day of Lord contains a time of peace and tranquility. Instead they would get taken over by the Assyrians and go into captivity. Did you read Amos 7:9-11 ?

    No, Amos is about the northern kingdom under Jeroboam II being taken into Assyrian captivity. Read Amos 7:9-11 to learn more. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zechariah 14, is end times, as the kings of the earth surround Jerusalem, the...

    The day of the Lord is not a single 24 hour day. It is a time period lasting for over a thousand years on the present earth, and after that for eternity. There are segments to the day of the Lord. It begins when the Antichrist goes into the temple, sits, claims to be God. Which sets...

    Amos in Amos 5 was prophesying against the elite and rulers of the northern kingdom. Amos was not saying that the day of the Lord would happen in their day. But that the elite and rules were not worthy of being a part of the day of Lord, considered to be a time of peace and tranquility...

    Hal Lindsay And Time LaHaye Were Deceived

    The western wall is a retaining wall of the temple mount platform, not the actual temple itself. The point is that Luke 21:6-7 establishes that what Jesus spoke of in Luke 21:10-24 was the period between the temple of that day and its destruction, and the Jews being lead away captives into the...

    Hal Lindsay And Time LaHaye Were Deceived

    Amos was a prophet who lived 814-740 BC. Amos live right before the northern kingdom of Israel went into Assyrian captivity for worshiping false gods. Assyrian captivity began in 732 BC. You are quoting from the NIV which leaves out the false gods of Moloch and Chun in verse 26. The kjv...

    You are not able to answer my two questions about what Luke 21 verses 6 and 7 say ? Try again. What did Jesus refer to in verse 6 ? And what was asked in verse 7 ? Luke 21: 5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these...

    Luke 21:25-36 is, but Luke 21:8-23 is about the destruction of the temple in 70 ad... in left column of the chart I made comparing the like verses in Luke 21, Matthew 24, Mark 13.

    From Luke 21:9-24 is about what would take place during the life time of the disciples. The time of the end is not until our generation. Zechariah 14:2 does not mean taken into captivity into the nations. It means that half of the city will be taken captive as hostages - as part of the kings...

    Unravelling Revelation

    I would unravel Revelation as... Chapter 1 - introduction Chapters 2-3 - messages to the seven church's in Asia Minor Chapter 4 - a presentation of the throne room of God in heaven Chapter 5 - Jesus deemed worthy to open the time of the end book Chapter 6 - the seven seals covering the 7...

    Unravelling Revelation

    It was not the number that was representative of different sorts of believers, but content of the messages to each of the seven church's. For example, the content of the message to the church in Philidephia seems to be representative of believers who will escape "the hour of temptation" i.e. by...

    Unravelling Revelation

    The unravelling of Revelation - subsequently, requires organizing to understand Revelation. unravelling + organizing = understanding The organizing of Revelation includes grouping the like time expressions as being in either the first half or the second half of the 7 years of Daniel 9:27...

    Unravelling Revelation

    The numbers should be taken literally. The two witnesses, for example, are two individuals. The 7 vials of God's wrath, there are literally 7 of them, as well as, the 7 angels are literally 7 angels. That God chooses to work in units of 7 quite often in Revelation is very evident...

    Unravelling Revelation

    I never claimed a graphic would encompass the fullness of what I wrote. 1Corinthian2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
