Is it not the wise course to identify just who the "wild beast" is first before it can be determined what the "mark of the beast " is ? At Revelation 13:1, it says that the ' dragon stood still upon the sand of the sea.' Then, suddenly there appears "a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with...

The apostle John clearly said that "antichrist....went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us."(1 John 2:18, 19) Thus, antichrists developed from within the Christian congregation. These are a product of Satan, a real...

Retrobyter, Many translators recognize that the third letter in Hebrew is pronounced like a "W' instead of a "V". This fact is shown up in that some translators render the divine name into English as "Yahweh" instead of "Jahveh".(Jerusalem Bible, The New Jerusalem Bible, etc.) And saying...

The name Jehovah is Latin, as is the name Jesus. In fact, all the names in most English Bibles are Latin. For example, we speak of Jeremiah, but it is not truly accurate, for in Hebrew, there were no vowels. Hence, it is some measure of conjecture as to how all the names in the Hebrew Scriptures...

The apostle John is the only Bible writer to mention the word "antichrist(s)", mentioning it some 5 times at 1 John 2:18 (twice), verse 22, 4:3, and 2 John 7. Yet most never carefully examine what John said about these, but rather "run off " and make up "stories" as to whom (or what) they feel...

The issue you raised was that the name Jehovah did not appear in the later part of Joel 2:32, quoting from the King James Bible as saying "whom the Lord shall call" and underlining it. In this case, this has nothing to do with the literal city of Jerusalem, but rather with God's name of Jehovah...

The American Standard Version reads of Joel 2:32: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call."...

Are you saying that accurately quoting the Bible is a deception ? Are you saying that accurately placing God's name of Jehovah where it rightly belongs (instead of using the common inaccurate expression of "the Lord" in almost 7,000 places in most Bible) is a deception ? Are you saying that both...

The Bible was written to separate "the wheat from the chaff ", those who are really desirous of knowing "the truth" as opposed to those who are unwilling to "dig deep" for the nuggets of "truth" that are found in the Bible, with most being satisfied with the "status quo" that the churches...

Joel 2:32 reads more accurately (than most Bibles present): "And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is...

Most fail to look at the prototype of Babylon the Great, that of ancient Babylon, both Scripturally and historically. Ancient Babylon comes into notation around the latter part of the 3rd millennium B.C.E., for Nimrod, a great grandson of Noah, founded the city of Babel.("Babel" meaning...

The real issue is not when the apostle John wrote the book of Revelation (Polycarp [69 ?-Feb 23,155 C.E., born at Smyrna, (the modern-day Turkish city of Izmir)] was noted as a student of the apostle John, and so had association with him before John's death in about 100 C.E.), but rather...

According to the earliest testimony, John wrote the Revelation about 96 C.E., approximately 26 years after the destruction of Jerusalem. This would be toward the close of the reign of Emperor Domitian. In verification of this, Irenaeus in his “Against Heresies” (V, xxx) says of the Apocalypse...

A person can only show repentance while alive. The soul does not live on after death (or is immortal) as the churches of Christendom have taught, for Ezekiel 18 says that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die."(Ez 18:4, KJV) The soul is us with all our desires, for at Deuteronomy 12, it says...

Determining the context is crucial for understanding the meaning of Scriptures. Otherwise, a person could be taking the Scriptures out of context and a misapplication results. It pays to read the whole chapter and perhaps several surrounding chapters to determine the real meaning. Thus, using...

Lets see how Jehovah's Witnesses stack up according to the Bible against the churches as well as others who "independent". Jesus made known the righteous requirements of Jehovah God, saying that "every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit....Every tree...

The churches have taught that "all good people go to heaven", yet fail to grasp even the 1st inkling what is required for a person to gain entrance into heaven. First off, these must be disciples of Jesus Christ, whereby the word "disciple", Greek matheteuo, means "to become a pupil" as well as...

The names in most English Bibles are Latin for the original names. For example, of the name Jehovah (Latin), several names are composed of the 1st four letters Jeho, such as Jehoshaphat (meaning "Jehovah is Judge"), Jehoaddah (meaning "Jehovah Has Decked Himself "), Jehoaddin (meaning "Jehovah...

The churches have failed in grasping what the Bible really teaches. For example, they reject God's name of Jehovah, despite it being in the original Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts some 7,000 times in the form of the Tetragrammaton. In spite of Jesus teaching his disciples to pray for God's name to...

That following the "one faith" (Eph 4:5) that Jesus established would be very difficult, he said: "Exert yourselves vigorously ("vigorously", Greek agonizesthe, meaning "to struggle, to contend with an adversary", from which comes the English word agonize) to get in through the narrow door...
