Rockytopva; You do have valid points with the first three horsemen, at least we agree they are now released and doing their work in the world. The 4th horseman is Death and has power over only 1/4 of the earth, whereas the Satan has power [at present] over all the earth. The AC comes later. We...

Trekson: 'most Bible scholars' - I mean not just in America, where the 'rapture theory' is prevalent. The Seals - that the first five are already opened is evident to most informed people. How many more wars, famines, diseases, economic problems and Christians beheaded do you need? Trumpet and...

I won't bother to reply, Rockytopva, you don't address the issues, you just reiterate scripture that you see as supporting your claims, but most others do not.

So the church at present 'pleases God? Isaiah 29:13-14 Because this people worship Me with empty words and pay Me lip service, while their hearts are far from Me and their religion is but human precept, learnt by rote, [that is: people who worship the Lord - Christian peoples] therefore once...

Seven is a very important number to God. He uses it many times. I do not see any correlation between the Seven seals and the seven church's or the first seven Patriarchs. As far as timing is concerned, it is quite evident from history and current facts of wars, famines, plagues, economic...

Good. That's a start; we must be at least 7 years away from the Return. From careful reading of Daniel and Revelation, it seems the 7 Trumpet and Bowl punishments will occur within a 3.5 year, 42 month, 1260 day period.. The first half of those 7 years should be peaceful, it is only at the mid...

Where I come from, is the using the truth of all scripture to make a coherent picture of end times events. I do agree that the Day of the Lord's wrath, is different from and years before the Great tribulation. So do you expect to be raptured before [or on] that Day? Thinking that every time a...

Well Trekson, we have discussed most of that before. Because you are fixated on a pre-trib rapture, that colours all the way you view prophecy. Error compounds error. Just a comment on the Bible statement: 'one day to God is like 1000 years on earth'. This is mentioned twice, so we have the two...

So Trekson, if Jesus asked God to 'only keep His disciples from the evil one', where is the hope that anyone goes to heaven? All the disciples were tested 'unto death', except John, who was exiled. There is nothing in John 17:20-26 about any removal, [rapture] just clarification that there is...

Thank you, Retrobyter, your comment is reasoned and sensible. However you do not know how intensively I have studied the Bible. Over the last 5 years, I have written 4 books, over 500 articles, compiled a Scripture Subject reference and regularly contributed in 10 or 12 forums. I do not claim to...

Interesting post, Retrobyter. But why insist that what God will use is not a CME? How can you be so sure of His plans? BTW - A CME is a type of solar flare. Many prophesies say how the Lord 'will rain fiery coals upon the wicked', Psalm 11:6, it all matches with the Sixth Seal; worldwide...

Isaiah 25:1-2 Lord, You are my God, I shall exult and praise You, for You have done wonderful things, long planned and sure. You have turned cities into heaps of ruin, fortifications into rubble. Buildings are swept away, never to be rebuilt. For this, many cruel nations will then respect You...

We know from past history that the earth is vulnerable to sunspot activity. Usually this results in an aurora display and some interference to radio communications. However in 1989 the Quebec region of Canada was affected by a small coronal mass ejection, [CME] which damaged the electric supply...

Methinks this man doth protest too much! He is obviously in a state of denial that the Lord will carry out His plans to send a fire judgement to destroy His enemies. What about another persons view on this: does Isaiah 30:25-28 speak of the Day of the Lord's wrath. or not? Does Isaiah 30:26...

The Sixth seal and the contents of the scroll, are the Book of death for the ungodly. For one thing, the Rev 5 document is described as a scroll, written on both sides and sealed with 7 seals. The Book of Life is described more as a book as we know it, there would, [should?] be millions of...

I agree, the scroll as described in Revelation 5, is different from the Book of Life. Malachi 3:16, Philip. 4:3, Rev 20:12 The first five seals are now opened, maybe as John looked on in the 1st century. We have wars, famines , plagues and economic problems aplenty and Christians continue to...

Your opinion, Marcus. Opinion, dictionary definition: A belief not founded on certainty or proof, but on what seems [to you] to be probable. All who seek the truth, should carefully study all what the Bible says about the Day of the Lord. Your life may depend upon it. Look at Rev. 6:12-17 and...

rjp said: Divine judgment cannot be said to focus upon one day only. Certainly events transpire which pivot on a single day, if not an hour. To suggest that judgment is limited to a day or an hour is to deny the evidence of history as well as scripture. It certainly denies the portent of...

Yes, we have experienced wars, there has never been a time that there hasn't been a war of some size somewhere in the world. There have been terrible famines and hunger is continues to be prevalent in some areas, mostly due to political ineptitude. Plagues have ravaged populations and continue...

Modern church teaching tends to concentrate on personal salvation and how we should live our lives. This is most important, but it cannot be right to pass over or allegorize the rest of Scripture. Approximately one third of the Bible is prophecy, some fulfilled, some partially fulfilled, most is...
