You are not paying any attention at all to the time-relevant terms surrounding those 10 horns on the Scarlet Beast in Rev. 17. The Scarlet Beast which had those 10 uncrowned horns was not in existence when John was writing, (it once "WAS" but "IS NOT" in John's days). However, for John's...

None of the Beasts that Revelation or Daniel spoke of survived past AD 70. That is because Christ the "stone" kingdom struck the feet of Daniel's image and the ENTIRE IMAGE was broken to pieces together, with the dust of it blowing away like chaff on the wind. Christ the "stone" kingdom has...

There is some really flawed logic proposed in the original post. This Psalms 103:20 verse never claims that ALL angels remained obedient. It is only speaking a command to that particular group of angels who were preserved in faithfulness to God, directing these obedient, angelic mighty ones to...

The "little horn" of Daniel 7 was found among ten horns on the 4th "dreadful and terrible" beast. But the "little horn" of Daniel 8 was a single horn that arose from one of the "four notable ones" of Alexander's Greek kingdom (which was Daniel's 3rd beast kingdom). These two horns were not...

I quote this Revelation 1:19 verse all the time. It reconciles perfectly with Revelation 1:3 and the time which was "AT HAND" in the first-century generation for John's prophecies to be fulfilled. "Write the things that ARE" (presently going on in John's days), "and the things thou HAST...

The term "holy people" was first given to the ancient Israelites when God inaugurated them as a nation back in the wilderness. "For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of...

You just don't like the answer I gave. For Antiochus Epiphanes to "destroy the mighty and the holy people" with his army's invasion of Jerusalem and abolish the practice of Judaism was from the Jews' perspective "exceeding great". After all, that was the very purpose of Daniel's visions: to...

That's good, I'm glad we agree on this point that the planet was not scheduled for annihilation - just renovation. The language of scripture tells us that the "Great Tribulation" has long since passed. Those "days of vengeance" called "the Great Tribulation" and "great distress in the land...

The basis for what I am writing here is found in John's own language in Revelation 1:3 and 22:10 and elsewhere in the book. John announced that "the time is AT HAND" in his own days for the fulfillment of those prophecies of future events. Just because you cannot see HOW those events were...

You're right, it IS about both. The line of demarcation between the two is that whatever prophecies which were WRITTEN were fulfilled (Luke 21:22 - "...that all things which are written may be fulfilled"). What prophecies were NOT WRITTEN were "sealed up" in Revelation 10:4 for times...

There is no promise whatever in scripture for the end of the planet's existence. But there was a promise for the "end of the AGE". Paul testified of this to his 1 Corinthians 10:11 first-century audience concerning the OT scripture stories, "Now all these things happened unto them for...

LOL, I am reading straight from the text itself. I listen to no one who counters what scripture directly teaches. The text itself mentions those living in Judea and Jerusalem who were warned by Christ to flee from both areas when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies, because that was when...

The prevailing four kingdoms had dwindled down to the two Greek kingdoms of the Ptolemies and the Seleucids before Rome swept in and overtook those two kingdoms in the person of Pompey the Great (he became the Roman "king of the north" in Daniel 11:40-45). The "little horn" of Daniel 8:9 (aka...

It sure does. It makes all the NT authors and Christ Himself a liar and a false prophet if Christ did not return in that generation as scripture testifies in many places. And Christ is not limited to only one return to this planet. There are NO scriptures that forbid this happening more...

Your quote from Irenaeus is not quite correct. Something or someone was "seen" almost in Irenaeus's time, which was toward the end of the reign of Domitian. However, the sentence translated from the Greek as Irenaeus wrote it doesn't specify whether that something or someone was the one...

@ TLHKAJ, have you any thoughts or scriptural solutions for this dilemma that I mentioned above? Ideally, that would be the case, but setting up multiple separate homes all in one setting is not an automatic possibility, either financially or space-wise in all cases, I am sure. But certainly...

The anointed cherub "Prince of Tyre" described in Ezekiel 28:11-19 was "PERFECT IN THY WAYS from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." (Ez. 18:15). This is not a statement that can be made about the human "Prince of Tyre" as described in Ezekiel 28:1-10. This man...

This statement gave me pause for thought. We know that the gospel is making inroads within Muslim countries, where multiple wives is not only practiced but is the usual case. Suppose the husband becomes converted to Christianity. Now he must make a decision concerning his multiple wives...

I read all of your comment, and your point about the 4 winds of heaven only serves to bolster my position. The 4 directions of the compass were linked with Alexander's entire kingdom being split up into four kingdoms located in roughly all four directions on the map. This is pretty clear when...

Paul was martyred in AD 67, and Revelation was written somewhere between late AD 59 and early AD 60. So it was possible for Paul (and other authors) to have quoted from John's Revelation.
