    What to do when you are beyond repentance?

    LOL--I constantly edit and revise my posts for the same reason. ;)

    The Restrainer

    I agree--what I said was that the world was ruled THROUGH the RCC (the Whore of Babylon). The Vatican has national status, a huge diplomatic and intelligence apparatus, access to all the heads of governments throughout the world and works covertly to exact its long-held plans for worldwide...

    Yes. Devout RC (and, like Hitler, a strong believer in the occult at the same time), Heinrich Himmler said that he so admired the Jesuits that he patterned his SS troops after the Jesuits. Himmler turned the SS headquarters, Wewelsburg Castle into a nightmare of occult rituals under occult...

    The Restrainer

    Yes. Jeremiah 23:5 speaks of a righteous descendant of David ruling over the future Kingdom (also, see Jeremiah 30:9 which speaks of God raising David as their King). Ezekiel 37:24 states: "My servant David will be king over them..." It is not clear whether it is Jesus who is being referenced...

    The Restrainer

    Yes--technically He does as the King of Kings (the title of an Emperor in ancient times). But, like any empire, there will be princes and kings subordinate to the Emperor.

    The Restrainer

    I would say that the Millennial Kingdom will be in a rebuilt and restored world. That worldwide Kingdom (a mostly mortal Kingdom, by the way) will be destroyed by fire from heaven as the final rebellious generation gathers around "the camp of God". After the Final Judgment (which comes at the...

    The Restrainer

    No. And there is one bit of proof that it is a picture of the Millennial Kingdom. All humans will be resurrected by the end of the Millennium--as the Book of Daniel says, "some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame". The Millennial Kingdom will be a mortal kingdom comprised of the...

    The Restrainer

    Ezekiel chapters 37 through 48 give a VERY detailed picture of the Millennial Kingdom. Isaiah 65 does as well. All of the OT prophets spoke of a time when Israel would finally be granted the Kingdom under the Messiah. Jesus' disciples even ask Him, just before His ascension in Acts, if He...

    The Restrainer

    Yes--the Arab slave trade never really ended. N. Africans (light-skinned Arabs for the most part) enslave black Africans. I believe that is why the Book of Revelation speaks of slavery ("the bodies and souls of men"). I'm told that Arabs are quite prejudiced toward African blacks--even when...

    The Restrainer

    And it wasn't just in the U.S.--it was widely practiced throughout Central and S. America. The Spanish settlers used native people of Central and S. America as slaves. The slavery was enforced by the soldiers sent from Spain to defend the Spanish colonists. Even today, there is a "pecking...

    The Restrainer

    Keeping the Sabbath (which is and has always been Saturday) is a mark of God's Israelite people. In the Millennial Kingdom, they will strictly observe their sabbath days and their sabbath years. On the other hand, Gentiles are not bound by Sabbath observance and the Church is mostly comprised...

    The Restrainer

    Also, Isaiah 65 is a wonderful picture of the Millennial Kingdom.

    What is the new Jerusalem constructed out of

    I agree. If the Holy Spirit had intended us to "spiritualize" it, He would not have included all of the detail in His description. In my opinion, He was painting a word picture to comfort us when times are hard. If God could create the marvelously beautiful universe, He could easily create a...

    The Restrainer

    The perverts who have always been in the Vatican probably appreciate them. Did you notice the (dead) woman below the dragon (she is disguised but it is obvious what it is depicting if you disregard the birds or whatever). She is gray and looks dead. Wonder who it is supposed to be? Did the...

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    Hey, @brakelite! What happened to the close-up of that papal dragon crest that you posted? Did you notice the "dead woman" under the crest? Wonder what THAT was about? It is made to seem like some kind of pix of birds or something--but when you pull back from it--it is clearly the head of a...

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    We apparently have different definitions of the two words. What I meant by "sassy" was to give a brief retort in rebuke of the rude condescension of another (what I called "orneriness"--and bbyrd is one of the worst in that regard). "Go suck a lemon" was a rather gentle rebuke compared to...

    What is the new Jerusalem constructed out of

    I'm just going by the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12:4---> "...that I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words, things no human is allowed to tell." Paradise was, in the Hebraic mind, a place of unparalleled beauty--a delightful...

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    I am a sweet lady but I sometimes get a bit sassy when confronted with orneriness from certain people. ;) (But then, not even as sassy as John the Baptist when he called the Jewish religious authorities a "brood of vipers".)

    What is the new Jerusalem constructed out of

    One thing is for sure, it will be astoundingly beautiful!
