    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    I'm sorry, but you're going to have to quite a bit more specific than a general condemnation as broad as all of Scripture and history. My sequence of events, as I have explained in the work and I have shown my work progressively, is quite in accordance with every account - and everything I've...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Yes, 13 chapters done and the 14th in process. This is just a little reader that just gives you the overall picture without all the reference book work, word study, theoretical basis for interpretation, a mini-systematic theology, and broader discussion. Next account to blend in - (I'm almost...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    1. The Bowl or Vial Judgments do not run concurrently with the Trumpet Judgments. The end of the world is not concurrent with the sixth Seal either; that fact that is the first place in the narrative in which John writes the word: "wrath," is only quoting the wicked who are ignorant. The only...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Actually, I did already. Now why would you call the 5th and 6th Trumpet Judgments non-linear or Trumpets of delusion? I'm sorry, those two statements (non-lnear and delusional) are not logical. Revelation 19:1 - 20:15 It starts out right before the last battle after the sixth Bowl Judgment...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Moving on... Daniel 9:27 Another major, prophetic, linear narrative which should be foundational for anyone's eschatology is Daniel 9:26-27. Looking only at the second verse for the moment is the one ‘seven’ which has yet to be fulfilled (despite some eschatological schools’ opinions to the...

    Pre-Wrath Sequence of Events

    Americans want to get to the point. This should satisfy that. “How does it all play out?” you might ask; this will lay out a whole book in a few pages. The technique here was developed over time; it is a new paradigm in eschatology. The work presented here is substantiated with the rest of a...

    Defending Amillennialism

    Hi Jack! I'll have to agree to disagree, first with the very premise you bring that the visions are symbolic - period. The Seal events which precede God's Wrath with the Scroll can be taken quite literally, as in fact, we see even today with the rise of animals killing man through disease...

    Defending Amillennialism

    One thing at a time; I am not prepared to get into your symbolic fulfillment interpretation just yet. When you say 'circular,' to me, that means more than what you brought up. It implies a cycle. Most pagan religions run on cycles, like the "circle of life" the new-agers taught children in...

    Defending Amillennialism

    Wormwood, We have a fundamental difference in viewpoint. I am surprised at your view of John's narrative as "circular," that's the first I've ever heard the book of Revelation termed as such. As far as gaps, you don't have to be a Dispensationalist to see one in the seventy 'sevens.' Gabriel...

    Defending Amillennialism

    I am not an adherent of Dispensationalism. I do see how Dispensationalism came to be a school of study because of the layering of God's Plan. Job and Enoch lived before the Law was given and knew God. Then God gives Moses the Law, and then come the Prophets and a whole host of rules come into...

    Defending Amillennialism

    I can take the Millennium as a literal period of time in accordance with Hosea 6:2 and 2Pe 3:8. While most of the usages of numbers are figurative to represent a great number, that also occurs within their culture, which is quite different than the literal one we live in, post-Renaissance...

    Defending Amillennialism

    Well I thought you were denouncing the literal interpretation method because it wasn't consistent in taking literally figurative word-picture depictions of various people and entities presented in Revelation. That would be ultra-literal and I would refute any straitjacket criticism that I have...

    Defending Amillennialism

    There are four methods of interpretation according to the Expositor's Bible Commentary regarding Revelation, literal and symbolic being only two. One other is the idealist, and the fourth eludes my memory right now, it's back at home with my books, notes and resources. That being said, no one...

    Revelation 12 and Daniel 12

    1. There is the one 'seven' and there is the Great Tribulation: a specific and unique time in the annals of prophecy and in man's time. Not only can I ask in certainty where it is that the two are equated knowing full well they are not: I also know that the Great Tribulation only begins at the...

    Hello. My name is Mark. My screen name is Latin for 'Mark, oh really?' - just to have a little fun. I was raised without any Church. I was an atheist thinking science had the answers. I still like math and science; I use them all the time in my profession. I actually became to hate God for...
