Okay, would you mind interpreting these verses: 1Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. [a]And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has...

I have a feeling this is going to be a long These few verses …11:1-10 perhaps are going to take some elbow grease! So far, Revelation has been quite consistent in that it is written symbolically. I would not think that would change in these verses. I am looking at this as follows: We have the...

@Douggg ... Dougg, I would like to respectfully ask if you consider the views and intepretations that are thrown your way, and some of them are mine, as opposed to reading them and even while you may be reading them, you already know what you are going to respond to the poster. You repeat your...

Thanks for this... I think I may have been looking at the time element all wrong. The holy city has been given over to the Gentiles and they WILL tread the holy city for 42 months.... okay, so what are we looking at here? John has been given instructions to measure ... now (and now means at...

So who are the angels sitting at the Euphrates? Are they demonic or angelic? 16Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and...

What does that tell us? What about the verse in chapter 8:26 of Daniel that also tells us to seal up the vision? Before the end of the book of Daniel is the vision revealed to us? Does 8:26 speak to the end times or to the time of the end of the 70 weeks of years prophecy? What is the meaning...

That was some deep thinking! Is there anything you have found in the post chapter 11 chapters that you could think might point to what John heard but was told not to write down? This is a tough one. Great stuff.

What is happening here in these 3 verses? A reed to measure..... measure the Temple, the Altar and those who worship there....but leave out the court which is outside the Temple because it has been given to the Gentiles.....And they (Gentiles) will tread the holy city for 42 months.... And God...

So you are saying that the time of the Gentiles has not yet come? Who are the trees, the grass and the green things that are / have been mentioned before this chapter? If satan and his demons have symbolically already been released from the abyss to do their damage, don't you think the Gentiles...

Really! Well, perhaps you would not mind interpreting these verses for me. It appears you treat these important verses as literal and not symbolic, so I would assume they are all treated literally.... it would be absolutely impossible to discern which are literal and which are symbolic should...

In Revelation 10:4, John hears a voice from God the Father saying, " Now when the seven thunders [a]uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” Questions: Why is John...

I don’t think so! John is not writing about some battles or conflicts in Israel or anywhere else. These are the Revelations of Jesus not John and Jesus is not interested in revealing some historical facts! But everyone is entitled to their own opinion or interpretations!

No, I don’t see that at all. First, the 200 million represents the army, not those that have been killed. Secondly, it states that 1/3 is killed - not all, and third, these are symbolic not literal. Further, I don’t think they represent those that have died in the past… these are those that no...

Ok, moving on to the 6th trumpet, there are so many symbols in these verses .... just one of them is the 200 million. Who do you folks say they represent? Thanks.

Yes they are ... they not only reveal the actual 7 churches that existed at John's time but they also reflect the pros and cons of every church that will exist for the next 2000 years. God is pulling open the curtain of His one church to reveal their characteristices and He is willing to reveal...

I cannot argue or discuss these comments with you... the book of Revelation begins with the 7 churches which come after the cross and focus on His church as it goes through the next 2000 years, how it is attacked and appropriated by the little horn (500 AD) and will continue to preach their...

the demons are real but they do not materialize on the earth. they spiritual affect those that will entertain them. People of God do not allow them to enter them .. they will not be able to invade one who has the Holy Spirit in them. The 5 months symbolize the period of the last harvest from the...

To be candid, I have not spent much time or consideration on that comment in Daniel. It is so vague. I don’t know if it speaks to the true end times, or 700 years after Daniel to the time of the cross. Perhaps since the book of Daniel is largely about the time from Babylon to the end of the 70...

I agree with you... he saw exactly what God wanted him to see and record. However, He did not give John the interpretations of these symbols. God is leaving that to us to interpret, and since so much of Revelation can be found in the Old Testament - both the symbols and the approaches He uses...

Thanks and this is a tough set of verses to break down. However, this morning I think (yes, just think) it might be related to the period between the two harvests in the 7 feasts - the spring and the fall feasts. So, these are the final 5 months when the final harvest can be found and the little...
