IMO: The animal sacrifices were intended to convey punishment for sin, from people to animals. Also consider the progression: o Trumpet judgments: call to order. o. Scroll judgments: proclamation declaring Jesus king of the earth. o Bowl judgments: hot-oil torture of those opposing King Jesus.

Last judgment ("great white thrown") occurs after the millennium. It is noted in Revelation 20:11-15).

Satan (a.k.a. Lucifer = "light bearer") surely has a body, he is a cherub. Try an internet search: Lucifer Cherub. Currently he is entombed within the earth (Revelation 20:3), but he will be released after the millennium (Revelation 20:7-10) and obliterated, along with the old heavens and earth...

See Isaiah 53:6.

The expression is εν τακει = quickly. The context is prophecy, which often speaks of large passages of time. Revelation was apparently written about 90 A.D., hence 2026-90 = 1936 years so far. It is happening before our eyes: 1. Israel was established as a nation. 2. The Jews chose Hebrew as...

Isaiah 53:6 says "...the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." Jesus bore my penalty, necessary because I "sinned in Adam," i.e. the judgment on Adam fell upon us all.

IMO: "Entered into" = "influenced." I do not know the process of demon influence. Satan likewise tempted Eve to sin, through the serpent (Genesis 1:3-4, Revelation 12:9).

See Malachi 4:5. The two witnesses are mentioned in Revelation 11:3. Enoch was translated, hence never died (Hebrews 11:5, Genesis 5:24). Similarly Elijah was taken up, never died (2Kings 2:11). Check out Google "who are the two witness Revelation."

IMO: Enoch and Elijah (who are never said to have died) are the two witnesses (Revelation 11:3-13).

"Angel" in the New Testament is Greek αγγελος = messenger. Revelation 1:20. It's a figure of speech, like calling an actress or an athlete a star.

rebuilder 454 noted: "incorrect" That is a logical fallacy known as "begging the question." If you disagree, then I invite you to explain why *from the Bible.*

"Four horsemen" is a poetic way of describing events that will occur. A horseman is a rider or driver of horses.

The stars in the sky are stationary, but the nine planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are not stationary. They all orbit the sun ("wander"). Today we know that the planets are fundamentally different from the stars, but the ancients had no way of...

rwb noted <Genesis 37:9 (KJV) sun, moon, 11 stars> Yes, IMO in the metaphorical context of Genesis 37:9 "sun, moon, eleven stars" takes the meaning "father, mother, eleven brothers."

RWB asked: "Star" represents multiple things, it depends upon the context. That particular context IMO warranted angels.

IMO: Genesis 37:9 "wandering stars" refers to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. The ancients did not discern the difference between stars and planets. How could they?

Marty Fox asked about "chain." IMO: Satan is a cherub with a physical body, no reason he could not be chained, with a strong ("great") chain. Sad, because he at one time served in the very Presence of God, in the true temple in heaven.
