    Born again believers are NOT appointed to God's wrath ( the great tribulation )

    I am sorry but there is nothing in Revelation that I see where Satan comes onto the earth to do anything. Revelation is symbolic. When the Lord returns He will gather those both dead and alive who placed their faith in Jesus. Also, those alive who rejected Him will be destroyed by fire. This...

    Born again believers are NOT appointed to God's wrath ( the great tribulation )

    David, if you do not mind, would you tell me please what is the great tribulation and is there a verse or two that tells me what, where, whe, etc.? NOW i am certainly aware of those who look to Daniel to try and come up with a 7 year tribulation theory, but, unfortunately that it entirely...

    Names of the Beasts of Revelation: Wealth (Prosperity) and Tradition

    No, read Revelation 17:5…. There is only one little horn / sea beast / harlot…. The little horn is the only one in Daniel that will continue until he is destroyed without human hands and this is quite clearly seen in Revelation.

    Names of the Beasts of Revelation: Wealth (Prosperity) and Tradition

    Revelation 13:17 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17 deepens the implications of the mark of the beast by revealing its impact on those who refuse to receive it. The verse states that no one may...

    Names of the Beasts of Revelation: Wealth (Prosperity) and Tradition

    I am close to finishing up the rough draft of the commentary on Revelation. Here is my take on the first 2 verses in chapter 13 of Revelation. I can see from Galgal's posting just how much thought and effort she must have put into her interpretaions - and they are indeed worthy. But I have...

    The Kingdom of God has been found for quite some time

    I think the Stone, which represents the Messiah symbolically stuck the feet (not the toes) and broke into pieces JUST the two elements WITHIN THE FEET of iron and clay. The stone did not break the or destroy the 4 kingdom image. He did not come to destroy, although the Jews certainly believed He...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Part 2 A leopard with four heads and four wings like a bird represents the third kingdom. This signifies the kingdom of Greece, ruled by Alexander the Great. Alexander was a brilliant general with an insatiable appetite for conquest. It seems quite appropriate that Alexander (Greece) is...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Ok and that's fine. Below I am going to cut / paste a discussion from my commentary on Daniel for verses 7:2-6 and ask that you might read it and consider the thoughts within it. We can discuss if you would like or let me know your thoughts before and or if we move on to the next few verses. I...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    of course there are verses that speak of the end times in Daniel but compared to the whole of Daniel it might speak to approximately 3 percent of the total chapter. There are indeed verses that mention the end time - but not in details... that is left for Revelation. God is giving us His plan...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Ok, here are the first 6 verses in chapter 7. Would you mind interpreting them? Who do these represent? And after you respond, I would ask that you copy verses 7 and 8 and tell me who are the actors within these verses. Thanks. 1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel [a]had...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    He is fully revealed in chapter 7 and discussed again in chapter 8 and then in 11. Almost everyone claims the book of Daniel is an end time set of prophecies- it is not. That title belongs to Revelation. Daniel speaks about the restoration of His people from Babylon to (largely) the end of the...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    That would be true if the little horn who sits atop the 4 th beast wasn’t in reign for the past 1500 years. Gods church had been corrupted and appropriated by the little horn after the demise of pagan Rome (Daniel 7:11). And one can see the kinds of things he would do when he came to power-...

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    Here is my take on this: I. The Biblical Usage of "Antichrist" The term "antichrist" (ἀντίχριστος) appears only in four passages, all written by the apostle John: 1 John 2:18 – "Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I understand your comments and also am aware that most folks believe in an “anti-Christ” who will come in the future but for me, there is no “anti-Christ” literal person but a real, literal little horn who has placed himself on the same level as God. I don’t know why...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Here is my take on the "buying and selling" and the mark: Revelation 13:17 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17 deepens the implications of the mark of the beast by revealing its impact on those...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Here is my take on the mark.... Revelation 13:16 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, Revelation 13:16 reveals that the earth beast compels "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave"...
