    Before becoming the beast-king, the person goes through these stages highlighted in blue.

    why no beast (Antichrist) name nor false prophet name given

    No. The names of both beasts are names of two individual men. One man - the beast-king the other man - the false prophet The mark of the beast is the mark of the beast-king's name. Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    If I were living Judea, the Jerusalem area, in the days following the transgression of desolation act and then the assassination of the man of sin and him coming back to life, and a statue image made of him and placed on the temple mount - then "yes", I would flee to the mountains of Israel...

    the three woes

    Yes, you are using it as a catch phrase to mean focusing on Christ as the central theme of each biblical book and recognizing how each book's theme is ultimately fulfilled in the person and work of Christ. If that is what you mean - then why are you quoting EGW instead of Jesus, at the bottom...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    What the abomination of desolation will be, historically was prefigured in Daniel 11:31 a statue image of a false god placed in the temple by Antiochus IV. Daniel 11:31 contains the phrase "the abomination that maketh desolate". In Revelation 13:14-15, the false prophet will have a statue...

    why no beast (Antichrist) name nor false prophet name given

    John wrote what he saw and heard. Surely he saw the name of the beast written on people's foreheads. As well as, saw the mark of the beast. As well as, heard the name of the false prophet. So why did John not write those things down ? It is because when the voices of the seven thunders...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    There is no 7 years tribulation in the bible. There is the 7 year 70th week in the bible, Daniel 9:27. There is a great tribulation in the bible, Matthew 24:15-21, that lasts 1335 days, Daniel 12:12, until Jesus returns to end it on day 2520 of the 7 years.

    God's "Two Witnesses" Rule The World During The Future Great Tribulation

    The two witnesses will be two prophets of God. Like the prophets of old, they will not be rulers.... such as kings.

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    Yes, John wrote what he saw and heard. (except for the 7 thunders, and the name of the beast, and the name of the false prophet - both of which were probably spoken when the voices of the 7 thunders spoke. John also did not reveal what the mark of the beast is. So that was also probably...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    John did not make up the two verses of Revelation 11:2-3 himself. Revelation 11:2 is the angel speaking to John. Revelation 11:3 is the angel speaking on behalf of God. John recorded what he angel said. No, two different time periods. Of events that will happen in the first half, and...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    I suggest that you start yourself a separate thread about Revelation being all symbolic, where you and others of similar mindset can discuss the symbolic/non literal view of Revelation.

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    The time frames are not symbolic. There is symbolism in Revelation, but not the time frames.

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    If, in Revelation, the two time frames were exact equals of 1260 days - then why 42 months in one verse and 1260 days in the very next verse ? Why not 1260 days for both verses ? Why not 1260 days for Revelation 13:5 ? Why not 1260 days for Revelation 12:14 ?

    the three woes

    The great tribulation and Jesus's return is frivolous to you ? Ezekiel 39:9 are 7 years that follow the Gog/Magog event. Then at the end of the 7 years, in Ezekiel 39:17-20 is the Revelation 19:17-18 feast. In Ezekiel 39:21-29 is Jesus Himself speaking in the text, having returned to...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    The time frames of events of Revelation that will take place here on earth are... in the first half 1260 days Revelation 11:3, Revelation 12:6 in the second half 3 1/2 days Revelation 11:11 42 months Revelation 11:2, Revelation 13:5 time, times, half time Revelation 12:14 Why the different...

    The Future Great Tribulation Is 3.5 Years Long, The Beast And Two Witnesses Will Be On This Earth In Power Until The End

    The making merry, celebrating, exchanging gifts will be over the death of the two witnesses - not over the fall of Jerusalem. In the days before Jesus returns, no one is going to be making merry, celebrating, exchanging gifts because the wicked will be in fear. There will be no believers in...

    The Future Great Tribulation Is 3.5 Years Long, The Beast And Two Witnesses Will Be On This Earth In Power Until The End

    In my post 83, I explained why in Revelation 11:2 the expression is 42 months, while in the very next verse Revelation 11:3 the expression is 1260 days. Now I will explain why in Revelation 12:6 the expression 1260 days is used, while in Revelation 12:14 the expression time, times, half time is...

    The Future Great Tribulation Is 3.5 Years Long, The Beast And Two Witnesses Will Be On This Earth In Power Until The End

    Revelation 20:9 is after the 1000 year millennial reign of Jesus. Jesus returns to this earth in Revelation 19. The destruction of the armies gathered to make war on Him and His armies of heaven, the raptured/resurrected saints, will take place in Revelation 19:21, as Jesus speaks and...

    The Future Great Tribulation Is 3.5 Years Long, The Beast And Two Witnesses Will Be On This Earth In Power Until The End

    The beast kills the two witnesses not the armies of 200,000,000. No, nobody is going be making merry, celebrating, exchanging gifts at the time of Jesus's return. The wicked of the world will be in fear, because Jesus and His armies of heaven will be approaching earth.

    It was not originally intended that all flesh on earth would be wiped out.
