    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I do not see anything about demons there.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    o. "According to faith all these died" ("all these that died did so in faith"). o. "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death" (Hebrews 11:5) o. Believers look for a resurrection, and eventually for a new heavens and earth (Revelation, chapters 21,22).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I would say the temptation of Jesus was a very special case. The Bible indicates that Christian temptation can be self-induced (James 1:13-14).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    "Demon" is typically defined as a fallen angel, but Satan (a.k.a. the Devil) is not an angel, rather he is a Cherub (Ezekiel 28:14).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    That is temptation of Jesus, the question is how demons (not Satan) tempt believers.

    The Beast Revelation

    Anchorite explained: <Not one verse in this chain states that you sinned in Adam> Bible explained: <in Adam all died, > "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive." (First Corinthians 15:22). Jesus took our penalty upon Himself, suffering an excruciating, shameful death.

    Daniel's 1260 vs. 1290 vs. 1335 vs 2300 Days Prophecies (Abomination of Desolation Was the Crucifixion)

    IMO abomination of desolation is antichrist taking his seat in the temple (2Thesalonians 2:4).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    IMO: Woman is Israel, man-child is Jesus. Jews will flee to Petra because of persecution by Anti-Christ. I visited Israel once and saw Petra.

    Daniel's 1260 vs. 1290 vs. 1335 vs 2300 Days Prophecies (Abomination of Desolation Was the Crucifixion)

    Daniel 9:25 "seven sevens until anointed ruler": o "seven" = 7 years where "year" = 360 days o Decree of Cyrus was March 5, 444 B.C. o Jesus entering Jerusalem on colt was 69 sevens after decree of Cyrus o. Jesus (anointed ruler, Isaiah 61:1) died, paying the penalty for our sins. o One seven...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Bible says "innumerable" (Hebrews 12:22), must be hard to keep track of all. Satan is insane, thinking he can disregard his Creator, but I suppose we all do that to one extent or another. Eventuality he will be treated to 1000 years in a room at the Marriott Abyss inside the earth (Revelation...

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    John Calvin was a Christian man who taught the following (TULIP) five points: 1. Total depravity -- no hope of remission on our own. 2. Unconditional election -- God choses the elect at His pleasure. 3. Limited atonement -- atonement only for those elected by God. 4. Irresistible grace --...

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    Behold noted: <John Calvinism is a Satanic Theology> IMO: o. "Satan" has multiple epithets: Lucifer, Day Star, Serpent, Father of Lies, Lawless One, Dragon, Angel of Light, Lord of the Flies, etc. o Satan is a Cherub who served in the very Presence of God and led a rebellion. As a result he...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    "Ecumemical" has the etymology "of the world," i.e. "acceptable to most." It stems from Greek οικουνενικος = "of the inhabited world."

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    There are more than 8 billion people in the world, so Satan and his angels must be very busy tempting *all mankind.*

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    David in NJ noted: <tempt mankind> Satan (a.k.a. Lucifer) wants to be like the Egyptian Pharaoh, everyone's master. He is insane (Ezekiel 28:14, 1Peter 5:8).

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    David in New Jersey noted: <God and the guardian angels do not interfere with Satan's wrath> If they are *guardian* angels then I would think they would interfere with Satan's wrath. <Have you read the gospels> "Gospel" is Old English godspel, a translation of Latin bona annuntiatio from...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    David in N.J. noted: <they will deliver you over> I suppose this refers to Christian Jews who did not fit in with the views of other Jews and peoples around them. Christians who declined to respect the Roman pantheon were brutalized by the Romans. And there is no shortage of false prophets...

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    God created the universe from nothing but Himself. The idea that anything in it occurs beyond His direction (including my choices) seems incorrect to me.
