This totally confuses the whole interpretation concerning these Beasts. There are TWO DIFFERENT BEASTS being written about here. Revelation 13's Sea Beast rose from the "sea" of pagan Gentile nations. Scripture very often contrasts the "earth" as the land of Israel with the "sea" of pagan...

In Jude, it is the fire itself which is eternal - the cities' suffering is not said to be eternal. God's eternal fire in vengeance destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain. Jude had to be referring to God as the Source of that eternal fire coming in a constant stream from...

Of course it does. What do you think the word "desolation" means? "And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation thereof in nigh...For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." Have you never read about those...

Of course this "anointed cherub" was originally created perfect, but chose to rebel against God, thereby transitioning into Satan / the Dragon / the Devil / the ancient Serpent. There is no specific name given to Satan in the scriptures. But as you are probably aware, the book of Enoch names...

This "anointed cherub" who had been in Eden, as Ezekiel 28:18-19 tells us, was most definitely the Devil / Satan / the Dragon / the ancient Serpent. Scripture links all these together as being the same character in Revelation 12:9. God through Ezekiel was then predicting the manner in which...

No, Isaiah 14 never mentions the anointed cherub at all. It speaks a prophecy against the oppressive "king of Babylon" (Is. 14:4), and calls him "Lucifer". This king of Babylon would die, with worms covering him and under him. Those that witness his death would ask "Is this THE MAN that...

There was no portion left of that eastern gate of the temple to be buried after AD 70. The entire temple was burned and torn down to the last stone - eastern gate included. It is immaterial if people over time have failed to "get" this fulfilled prophecy of Christ's second coming back then...

Many people read this phrase as if it meant "the people that are eternally suffering the vengeance of fire". The "eternal fire" emerges as a constant stream of fire from God's eternal throne (as in Daniel 7:9-10). The wicked are burned up in the judgment by this eternal fire emerging from...

That is a little bit off target from what I wrote. The "abomination of desolation" of "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" which Christ warned His disciples about FIRST occurred in October of AD 66. When Cestius Gallus's soldiers rested their shields on the temple wall in testudo-fashion and began...

That first Sea Beast of Rev. 13 doesn't exist anymore. John wrote in Rev. 13:2 that the Sea Beast was given the throne of Satan. John identified where that throne of Satan was in Rev. 2:13, and it was in Pergamos. That Pergamos throne was given to the Roman republic in 133 BC by the dying...

If you can't understand that something called "a MAN" is not an anointed cherub, then I don't know what to tell you. Angelic beings as God created them are not humankind. Satan was never a man. Remember, Christ is also given the Lucifer title as the "Morning star" in Revelation 22:16. I...

Daniel 12:11-13 tells us. He predicted two events that would happen in the same season of time. The "abomination of desolation" would be set up" (which was "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" in Luke 21:20). This event would take place in the same season when a daily sacrifice would be taken...

There are no beast features that Daniel gave which characterized the Egyptian or Assyrian periods. The oldest empire in Revelation 13:2 was represented by the "lion" feature, which was symbolic of the Babylonian empire in Daniel's prophecy. We cannot include the Egyptian or Assyrian periods in...

This is a good point to emphasize. John told his first-century audience to "calculate" or "compute" the number of the Sea Beast. This involved a kind of mathematical computation they were to do with this six-hundred and sixty-six amount. Luther once wrote that this 666 number applied to a...

Jesus's predicted return to the Mount of Olives as set forth in Zechariah 14:4-5 was going to take place after Judah and Jerusalem had been besieged (Zechariah 12:2). Zechariah 12-14 was giving the prophecy regarding the AD 66-70 siege of Jerusalem. Christ bodily returned to the Mount of...

Straight from scripture. All of it.

You are mixing up your Ezekiel quotes. The one you first gave above from Ezekiel 31 was God's description of how He would judge Pharaoh king of Egypt, just like he had judged "the Assyrian". Now you are wanting to bring up a different subject from the Ezekiel 28 chapter, which in verses...

This rebuilt gate at present is NOT the one the people were worshipping at in Zerubbabel's post-exilic temple. It was Zerubbabel's specific temple which was going to be part of Christ's return. And THAT temple gate was destroyed in AD 70 to the last stone. It is immaterial if another rebuilt...

No, Mary's actual bones will not be found. Nor any other of the saints' bones from Creation forward who had lived and died before the AD 70 bodily resurrection. Christ resurrected them all and took them with Him back to heaven from the Mount of Olives location at His AD 70 bodily return...

These two were not taken up into heaven to be with God at those times. That is because John 3:13 says that, as of that time, "no man hath ascended up to heaven..." Elijah was only taken "as it were into heaven" (in the LXX), and was transported to another location on earth where he wrote that...
