That is what a lot of folks errantly believe but just like the descriptions of the two witnesses cause some to believe they are the church and Israel instead of the correct view of two men, the descriptions of Mystery Babylon eliminate a religious system from being a serious contender. It is a...

A lot of folks think that the oil represents the HS but it can't because a person can't go and "buy" more of the HS. The marriage feast is real but the bible never calls the church the bride of Christ, I think this is an identity crisis of the church that stops us from being "one" w/ Christ...

I didn't read all the replies but I stand w/ the ones that believe America is Mystery Babylon. As of this time no other nation comes close and no it's not some sort of evil religious system Btw, in the bible a woman symbolizes Israel. There is a reason why Paul worded it that way and that's...

Based on what historical information? This type of scenario, first popularized by Zola Leavitt and carried on by Perry Stone, is completely made up. Btw the 10 virgins don't represent the bride, they are what we would call bridesmaids.

While the word "midst" can mean the middle, in this case, it can also mean anytime between day 2 and day 1259. I can show you some verses where this same word is used and it doesn't imply the exact middle. I know it makes a nice pretty math picture but the fact is no time (1260 days, 42 months...

Jesus was part of the first resurrection, sure, but he was the "firstfruits" of the first resurrection. Where there are 'first" fruits there will be latter fruit, of the same first resurrection, that is what the church will be and what those of Rev. 20:4 are identified as part of. There isn't a...

So you don't believe in a millennium then?

I believe the bible divides the two. Prior to the second coming there will be the false prophet and anti-christ and then for 1260 days, the man that "was" the a/c will be possessed by satan. The a/c and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire never to bother humanity again but after the...

You don't see a rejection of the gospel or Christ Himself in "both" scenarios? Who do you think the armies of Rev. 20:8 are coming against?

That is a good point, however, Armageddon is described the same way, the armies are called to Har-megiddo, and Christ destroys them w/ his coming. If the armies come against Jerusalem once, why not a second time? One of the two, or both at different times, attacks Israel as described in Zech...

His whole purpose is steal the worship, honor, and obedience due God by "His" people and appropriate it to himself. That's what the word "anti" means, "instead of", not against or the opposite of. Yes, he will use miracles but not to convince folks he's God but to convince Israel that he is the...

I believe the a/c will be at least half Jewish of the line of David to be taken seriously as a possible messiah.

Nobody but the unlearned arrogant believe they are 100% correct regarding prophecy, that can't happen until prophecy becomes history. We are only given, at best, half the story if that and a reasonable narrative can be created but one is a fool if they don't give themselves some wiggle room as...

I don't drag it out, the bible does. The saints are some of the armies Christ came with, it's the still living that is going into hiding, we are helping to protect them. When satan is loosed to deceive the earth again, the millennial era will cease and apparently Jesus allows satan to tempt the...

I agree, that's why the "saved" are escorted out of there leaving the unsaved to their fate and this is 'after" the millennium and after satan is loosed and when he has completed his mission of gathering all nations while preparing to defeat God.

Randy Kluth, To properly understand the context you have to put the word national in, a person should know how to read and think that, just from reading the scripture. Dan. 9:24 (KJ) - "Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish ( the national) transgression (which...

No, you're just so far off it would take more time than I want to invest in a conversation which apparently you will ignore anyway, so what's the point?

Jesus only made reconciliation for iniquity but on a personal level. Dan. 9:24 specifically states that it was for his people, the nation of Israel to do. The gap is right in the text itself. Jesus dies and ends the 69th week, temple is destroyed 40 yrs. later and sometime "after" that a prince...

In like manner, means just that and does not infer at the same place. Picture Acts 1 and then Matt. 24:30, that is all it means. That's not how vs. 5 reads. There are three entities being spoken of here, the humanity of post mill Israel, Jesus, and his saints (the raptured/resurrected church...
