Yes, and by 'numberology' we can make any person's name in the world spell out 666! Forgive my sacasm and doubt, but I find it is a huge stretch from 'computers work with numbers' to 'the bible tells me so'. That's like saying 'the demons in Revelation have long hair so these must be women in...

Am I correct in saying that politics has never been this divided before? This virulent towards one another?

Clearly I don't believe that was the 'time of the end', 'cause we're all still here. Hard for things to end and yet still go on. And I don't see what the Pharisees have to do with it. I think a good portion of Daniel can be explained by what happened back then. But there is some of it that can...

Let me ask you some questions about Revelation. Do you think that there will actually be a woman in the stars giving birth? And an actual dragon up there about to devour her child? Do you think that there will come a time when there will be another woman riding upon a beast, drinking filth from...

I think, from looking back at the conversation that it was a part of, it was not so much a definite comment on how Dispensationalists function, but more of a hypothetical based on a certain set of parameters that 'perhaps' some of them believe in. I think it went something like this: Most think...

Ha! No, far from it. I did some art at Uni...until I realised that the logical outcome of that would be having to TEACH art to school children. A teacher I am not. Children scare me...they're like little walking time bombs of unpredictability, and like hopping on a wild horse, when they 'go...

I don't doubt that its challenging! So much of the prophets are...you definitely need a large cup of coffee and a brain not fogged with sleep! Hopefully I'll get there one day. I'm working through a devotional on Romans 8 at the moment...so good!

I think God can take any profession and use it for his glory. And there seems to be, at present, enough young Christians who choose a faith based tattoos to suggest that yes, it might be a valid option for a Christian to look into, career wise, if they like that sort of art. Honestly, I don't...

Nice point! It can be so disheartening sometimes, watching politicians and how they often reflect the very worst of mankind. Instead, we ought to be keeping our eyes upon Christ, which will give us a completely different outlook upon this life and our purpose in it.

Totally agree about the Left. I think the thing I like most about Trump is that he just isn't a politician. Sometimes that backfires on him, but most of the time it seems to work in his favour!

Forgive me, but as the "mark of the beast" is only speaking of a mark on the hand or 'frontlets', I didn't think I needed to go into the doors or gates. Are you suggesting, however, that in Deut 6, that just as one might, in fact, be able to put a physical mark on a gate or door, that they...

While I can't say that I have any great insight into political motivations, I'm not real sure I agree with you. Here in Australia things echo America somewhat, even if not perfectly, and so perhaps it's best if I speak to that. The growing problem we're seeing is not the conservatives and...

:D That was a very carefully worded post, well done! It can be hard to "agree to disagree" sometimes, can't it?! I truly don't mind that you, or others see a future ahead for Israel...in point of fact so do I. I just think its as part of the Church. The Church is, after all, the body of Christ...

My age and political interest doesn't really stretch too far back, sorry. I only really became *interested* (I say that sparingly, however, because it's an interest borne by necessity) in Australian politics about ten years back...American a little after that!!

I think all of Daniel 11 is seen played out in history. Antiochus IV Epiphanes features heavily in the pagentry, which all lines up, unsurprisingly, with the scriptures rather neatly. I think one doesn't need to look to the present to see fulfillment of Daniel. At least, not all of it.

I think there may be a fundamental difference in how you and I see Revelation 20. I would say that leaving out the rest of that section is a critical error: Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been...

I sometimes wonder if most of the sucess the Trump administration has had is not so much Trump, but the people around him. He really used Pence and the conservative vote to get in, so he kind of rode that and, as Aspen said, stacked the deck around him. I think that's a good thing, though. I've...

:D I dislike politics when it really gets down to it...it makes me feel...grubby! I much prefer to focus on theology. Won't it be grand when this world ends and the only ruler we ever have again is Christ. Then, I suspect, we'll agree very much!!

The problem with "replacement theology" is that the only people who use that term, are those who use it incorrectly to accuse others of holding it. Usually, the accusations are pointed at me, as I'm an Amillennialist. These people think that we do a bait and switch. "Aha...see this wonderful...
