Bless you. Go in peace.

The metaphor of the beast is intended to describe the inevitable state of affairs that God foreknows will reach a climax. No climax of wickedness on earth = no second coming, but wickedness is escalating so the second coming is pending.

Hi brightfame52. I haven't read all the posts but I think the discussion is about the difference between God's "sufficient grace" and His "efficient grace". Although the suffering and sacrifice by Christ on the Cross quarantees God's Grace is "sufficient" to cover the sins of the entire world...

Hullo post. There is an analogy between the congregation in the wilderness being doubly provided for and gathering twice as much manna on the day before the Sabbath when work was prohibited. By example we will be wise stewards of what God provides, being diligent to rest in Christ, knowing...

Yes. The seven main peaks of wickedness which have extended over the centuries can be seen as the base of the one final peak that builds on the others and extends for a fraction of that time. I believe the final rise of the wickedness of unregenerate humanity reaches a terminal zenith with a...

!00% True. Now metaphorical Babylon is global.

Hullo Truth7t7, I prefer a wider application, as per my notes herewith.

Hullo Rechoired. I suggest you brush up on your OT history. Assyria figures prominently in between Egypt and Babylon. Prophesied: (about 742BC) Isa 7:17 The LORD will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father's house—days that have not come since the day that...

Hullo Marty. It's called personification. Israel is both he and she at times.

MIssing Assyria.

According to the Book of Revelation, the Fall of Babylon will be in evidence as a result of its termination by the TEN CROWNED HORNS of the BEAST from the SEA, which is still around, manifesting in part through the ideologies of Papal Rome, and working towards Global Governance that is a...

Hi Ziggy, There is a area of study that identifies templates. Templates are found in nature, whether biology, zoology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics etc, and are of course applied in engineering and production. Efforts to achieve economic and environmental control are largely...

Good work, Curtis. Yes, I have encountered all sorts of false teachings from antiquity, and from ecclesiastical sources, including spontaneous generation, supposedly being supported by Scripture. (e.g.Gen 1:11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the...

Obviously any graven image made for the purpose of worship is an abomination. Exo 20:3-6 "You shall have no other gods before Me. (4) "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water...

Yes. It was hard to follow but seemed to deny the biblical Creator.

Matthew Poole's Commentary Hosea 8 Thy calf; *Jeroboam at first set up two calves, at Dan and Beth-el, but it is probable that in process of time there were more set up in other places, for when Israel forgot his God he built temples, Hosea 8:14. The calf then here is the chief idol set up in...

Theistic Evolution is not biblical and those who adhere to it are not Bible-believers.

Well there is a flawed corollary of Calvinism that negates the slightest need for the fruit or applicable activities that accompany salvation. I came across a Calvinist quote to the effect that if God has predetermined someone for salvation they can jump off a cliff shouting curses and denying...

Your quotes relate to the AUTHOR of salvation but do not relate to things that ACCOMPANY salvation, so I refer you back to my quote with the applicable activities highlighted in red. Rom 13:11-14 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our...

No. The name you provide doesn't configure with the wisdom of the gematria and Pythagorean numerology, and the time has not come for the disclosure of who the man of sin is. Rev 13:16-18 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand...
