The rider of the white horse is none other than Jesus.

Probably, as a possible cousin to Jesus, John was a man who had proved his faith. He was the disciple whom Jesus loved dearly, and this spiritual relationship transcended that of the flesh; in fact, there is no indication that his fleshly brothers were, as yet, had put faith in him.-Matthew...

In support of your post, the following scriptures in Revelation support that Babylon the Great (Harlot) is primarily the world empire of false religion. Compare Revelation 17:1, 2, 5, 15-18; 18:9, 11, 15, 23, 24.

Revelation chapter 7 mentions two groups of sheep. First, the 144,000 “sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel.” (Revelation 7:4) Comparing Revelation 14:1-5 shows that the 144,000 are “bought from the earth,” to become “firstfruits to God.” (See Luke 12:32; John 14:2-4) They will be...

I cannot believe otherwise because the is part of Jesus' linage.

Consider some additional scriptures: Romans 7:4-6; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:13-15; Hebrews 8:6 Hebrews 8:6

Paul’s exhortation was not to diminish women‘s importance. He was reinforcing a biblical arrangement in relation to teaching and exercising spiritual authority in the congregation. Only spiritual men-in agreement-were tasked with such “shepherding”-whether in the home or congregation. This does...

I respectfully do not agree. Christians are not subjected to the Mosaic Law (i. e. Sabbath). Christ abolished the Law and instituted a new covenant. Compare Matthew 22:39, 40; John 13:34; Romans 7:6; 10:4; Colossians 2:13-16. Instead of commonly using one day to reflect on God, we should be...

I agree in part. It seems to me that Jesus was given authority-at least partially-and finally, totally as mentioned in Revelation. Consider these scriptures where Jesus, Paul, Peter and Stephen make reference and support an earlier “right hand” position. Matthew 22:41-46; 28:18; Acts 2:34-36...

Yes, the Bible can be confusing. However, with careful and consistent examination/study it does become clearer. Make this a petition in your prayers. Consider these scriptures about the dead:Genesis 3:19; Job 7:9, 10; 10:9; 14:10-15; psalms 6:5; 115:17; 146:3, 4; Ecclesiastics 3:19, 20; 9:5...

It seems to me that their faith at different times strong/weak, assured/doubtful, confident/afraid and so forth. Many Christians today undergo some of these same emotions and we have the Bible and history to consult. Anyway, based on a few accounts, I believe that they did and then doubted; but...

Jesus' death in the year 33AD seems accurate. To be more specific, it took place in the spring, on the Passover Day, Nisan (or Abib) 14, according to the Jewish calendar. That year the Passover occurred on the sixth day of the week (counted by the Jews as from sundown on Thursday to sundown on...

These following accounts are fact, opinion, or beliefs. My father gave me this information years ago; and, I do not know where he obtained it. 1. John died of old age. 2. Judas Iscariot hanged himself. 3. Peter was hung on a stake, head down by Nero. 4. Andrew died on a stake at Patrae. 5...

Please notice that in Genesis 1:27 is say that "God proceeded to create...." "Create" is used three times. This is different than in Genesis 1:26 where the verb "make" is used. Compare Proverbs 8:22; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16. The "Trinity" doctrine states-in part-(paraphrased) that each...

The meaning of the expression “new heavens and a new earth” is found at Isaiah 65:17; 66:22 and quoted by the apostle Peter at 2 Peter 3:13. Observing such relationship, M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia (1891, Vol. IV, p. 122) comments: “In Isa. lxv, 17, a new heaven and a new earth signify...

In support, I wonder if anyone of us would wear, display, hold in reverence-a symbol-of a weapon that was used to kill/torturer one of aifour loved ones. However, is not an "Icathus" an "idol" something that may to be worshiped or viewed with reverence?

The rider of this white horse has a bow, an offensive weapon of war, but he is also given a crown. The only righteous ones seen wearing crowns during the Lord’s Day are Jesus and the class represented by the 24 elders. (Daniel 7:13, 14, 27; Luke 1:31-33; Revelation 4:4, 10; 14:14) It is...

This new covenant discussed at Hebrews 8;&-13 is not referring to fleshly Israel/Judah-as a nation/religion-but to "spiritual" Israel. Furthermore, it is referring to the 144.000 anointed for a heavenly reward. Compare only a few supporting scriptures: Luke 12:32; 14:16-24; John 10:16; 14:2...

It is a prophecy stated by Simeon. He was referring to the death of Joseph and Mary's new born son (Jesus) that would suffer an agonizing death. This would be emotional painful as though a sword literally pierce Mary.

The name Lucifer occurs once in the Scriptures and only in some versions of the Bible. For example, the King James Version renders Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” The Septuagint uses...
