So, you are saying that this is not symbolic but literal?

I am fairly sure he wrote this at the time of Domitian and not Vespasian. Can you attempt to take the rest of Revelation 9:1-12 and put all of this together into a complete interpretation? Then, can you include that interpretation with the rest of the 4 trumpets so they match seamlessly, and...

Thanks, but this is written after 70AD. This, to me, is all about the end times. These locusts are only allowed to torment, not physically harm, only those not sealed or not found to be within the definition of “grass, green things, or trees. God has limited their attacks to those that have or...

I think you are indeed on target the 5 months represents the period between the two harvests, however, this is speaking of the future, not the past. Revelation is symbolic and i believe these trumpets are God’s warnings before He acts and judges all who fail to repent. I think the hair metaphor...

It is not in Revelation but there are other verses that connect to the end times that are applicable - in Daniel, in Zechariah, and in Isaiah. The 144000 will be sealed so they cannot be harmed by either those on the earth who do not want their "religious"system to end and their power gone or...

I am now attempting to understand the 5th trumpet in Revelation 9: 1- 12 - the first Woe. Now this is complicated! Any thoughts on these fellows and don't forget to comment on what the 5 months means - it is repeated twice within these few verses. Thanks

So you do not think these 144000 might represent those Jews at the end time that will have their eyes opened by God and will go out to preach the Good News for 3.5 years? If not, have you identified those that will have their eyes opened before His return? Thanks

Sorry, I am still on the 5th trumpet ... but again, from what I see or I think I see, is the first 4 trumpets are indeed symbolic - they are clearly not literal.... if you think they are literal, please comment on why you believe them to be so.... Revelation is absolutlly / absolutely, so far...

They won't... they are dead. I am sorry but I am just not following you... my bad! By the way, I am currently looking at the trumpets... I have not gotten to the bowls, yet.

How many people do you think have already died over the past 200 years alone that have “added or taken away” from the book of Revelation? Are they going to experience the plagues that will come upon the earth? Once again, it is difficult for me to understand your thoughts here? Perhaps I am...

Sorry, I could not follow that…. Can you explain it for me? Thanks

Thanks, but can you comment on the thoughts I mentioned.. not sure your post told me anything.

Ok, I am reading / reviewing the trumpet judgemennts / warnings and would like to ask you folks your opinion.... which I believe I may already know but I need to ask.. It seems to me that the trumpet judgements / warnings are not physical destruction events but may be the final series of...

Thanks... I have to, as usual, go back and study these four. They certainly do mirror those found in Ezekiel... identical. And it appears that they go before or wherever God goes. Now, since the things in heaven are duplicated on earth - the Sanctuary, etc., if we go back to the time of the...

Thanks for all your thoughts! I do believe the 144000 are symbolic, and they represent God's chosen people - the Jews at the end time. I think the 24 elderss - represent the 12 tribes and the 12 apostles, meaning ALL believers both Jew and Gentile since the beginning, but these 144000 are...

Very nice thoughts coming my way on this... What is their purpose? I believe that, just like the Temple, the Sanctuary, etc., that was constructed on the earth, it resembles the one in heaven. So, I think I see here in Revelation that John is being allowed to see things that are / will be taking...

Thanks for your thoughts! These are not easily understood but, unless I am mistaken, there are 4 "living creatures" found in chapter 4 that are very different then the 4 horseman found in chapter 6. What I think I am seeig in this chapter is everything is taking place in heaven. God is allowing...

Okay, I am currently reading / considering / studying chapter 7 of Revelation and came across the 144,000. Are there any thoughts on who these folks are and their mission? Thanks.

I just got to Chapter 4 in the Book of Revelation and I would like to hear your thoughts on who are these four living creatures. There does not seem to be a consensus on them, and unless I am mistaken, I do not see much conviction in what they put forth. What do these four do and what is their...

Thanks for all your comments.
