    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    And such was beautifully fulfilled when Israel rejected their Messiah and through their rejection prompted the gospel to be carried to the gentiles. KJV Acts 13:46-47 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    You misunderstand the character of God. He is not an arbitrary tyrant causing people to be lost just to gratify His craving for glory. Those blinded are the victims of their own choices, and God, for whatever role He plays in their ignorance, knows their future and by His action would not alter...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    That kind of response is evidence that you are refusing to actually read my posts. I wasn't discussing Psalm 110.1, although I of course have no argument with your reasoning. But Jesus's quote of palm 110 wasn't in the context of proving Himself as God or deity, but challenging the Pharisees on...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    I'm saying I agree with you regarding the global extent of Babylon, just as the false prophet leads a global movement into apostasy. But Babylon has a HQ. That's why I went a little into history. Yes, Babylon is a spiritual power, but it does have a human physical component, and it's head...

    Please pray for my safety

    We are all in a deep intense and very real spiritual warfare whereby if He had his way, Satan would destroy us all. Sometimes however, that warfare spills over into the physical world, and through fear and intimidation, Satan would seek to at least destroy our faith, where we grow discouraged...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    I agree. Akin to the mystery of iniquity, which began even before creation with Lucifer in heaven. Of course, it wasn't called Babylon then, but iniquity became institutionalized at Babel. Babylon was the outgrowth of that rebellious independent sell preservation prideful spirit of Babel. As a...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Throughout history Satan has used agents through which he has deceived God's people. Even in the garden he used the serpent to deceive Eve. The entire end time scenario as we read of it in the prophets, is based on deception, mixed with physical persecution when at those times it is to his...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Time to get serious with what many consider the very foundation of prophecy... Daniel 2. It seems many here have forgotten what it depicts. The prophecies of Daniel are incredibly revealing. They are intricately detailed, providing specific information and points of character and events...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    KJV Philippians 2:9 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    That had nothing to do with the trinity. It is all about the identity of Jesus. I will add the following. The scriptures below, also from Isaiah 40, the same chapter that speaks of preparing the way of the Lord, says... KJV Isaiah 40:9-11 9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Again, you are arguing with Matthew and Mark, the inspired writers of the gospels under their name. They said that John the Baptist was the one who fulfilled his role as detailed in Isaiah...Preparing the way of הוָֹהיְ Yëhovah. It doesn't matter if the translators replaced the name centuries...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    And you would argue with the writer of Hebrews who under the inspiration of the Spirit of God declared unequivocally that God was talking of His Son when He said, "thy throne o God... Etc".

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    That conveniently avoids having to deal with what I actually wrote. Matthew and Mark agreed that the prophecy of Isaiah declared that John the Baptist fulfilled the role of the voice crying in the wilderness, preparing the way of the LORD. KJV Isaiah 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    It's exactly what the papacy is doing and had done since the 1600s when 2 Jesuits invented preterism and futurism to counter the accusing fingers of the reformation in identifying the papacy as the Antichrist, the first beast. Both false hermeneutics hide papal Rome from prophecy. It creates the...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    But he did call Rome Babylon. KJV 1 Peter 5:13 13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. (Mark was the writer of the gospel. He went to Rome with Timothy toward the end of Paul's imprisonment and life.) KJV 2 Timothy 4:11 11 Only Luke...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    And there you have pinpointed the very problem Christendom is having in fully understanding prophecy, and in so doing come to some very confused and sometimes silly conclusions. And what is it you have pin pointed? The inconsistency of interpreting! the symbols. You have 2 beasts in the one...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Prophecy provides an internal and external mechanism to confirm the accuracy of God’s Word. Jesus said, “ ‘And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe’ ” (John 14:29, NKJV; see also John 13:19). This presents a crucial question: How do we interpret...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    The issue is too many people attempting to interpret Revelation without understanding Daniel. Their conclusions regarding Daniel means their conclusions regarding Revelation are all over the place, and why no two people who claim to be futurists are in agreement.

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    None of those examples are in context of prophecy. They are simply insulting remarks made by the inspired writers concerning mankind in general. No angel, nor the Lord, started that the second beast of Revelation 13, is an individual. The false prophet yes, but not an individual. A fallen...
