IMO: o This conflict is Middle Eastern only, not all over the world. o Refusal to take the mark has consequences (Revelation 13:15-17). o Taking the mark has worse consequences (Revelation 14:9-11). o Petra time! (Matthew 24:15-28, Zechariah 14:5).

"Melchizedek" is Hebrew: מלך (melek) = King צדק (tsedeq) = righteousness I.e. "King of Righteousness" He was an early king of Salem, i.e. Jerusalem. He was apparently not part of an order, rather he was directly appointed by God, as was Jesus: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...

>What human being do you know has been alive on earth for over 2,000 years? > Angels and cherubim do not die.

"Day and night" is a Hebrew idiom for "any part of a day." We use the same idiom ourselves. If I work on something 2 hours on Monday, four hours on Tuesday, 3 hours on Wednesday, then I can say, "It took me three days."

<Can't because the Mark Of Beast is placed in the forehead or right hand and Card Chips are not placed in those places.> The tiny chip is the functional part, and they can be set in various places. Pets sometimes receive chips in the subcutaneous tissue before the shoulder blades. It's just a...

Revelation 13:12 says: ποιει τγν γην και τους εν αυτη κατοικουντας ινσ προσκυνησουσιν θηριον "It makes the *land* and all those dwelling in it worship the beast" There was no concept of planet earth in Biblical times.

<Can't be because the MOB is placed in the forehead or right hand and CCs are not placed in those places.> The functional part of a credit card is the chip. It is tiny and can be placed within flesh.

<How many times are the dead judged?> IMO once: 1. Believers once for rewards (Revelation 20:1-6). 2. Unbelievers once for condemnation (Revelation 20:11-15).

IMO: Jesus will return sometime after two events take place: 1. Israel is back in the land, and declares independence (done May 14, 1948). 2. Jewish temple is rebuilt (Malachi 3:1, not done yet).

Randy Kluth noted: <All good points. I don't know.> IMO: o. "Day and night" is a figure of speech indicating the same thing as "eating day and night" (i.e. continually, not continuously). o. The four living creatures are cherubim.

The Light noted: <There will be men in heaven with new bodies......after a rapture.> I certainly agree. The apostle Paul spoke of being caught up (a.k.a. "raptured") to heaven in Romans 12:1-6, and that would likely require an imperishable body, different from what we have now. We look...

Apparently in times past "Isaiah the prophet" was used as a header for the "prophetic books."

ewq1938 noted: <Can't be because the MOB is placed in the forehead or right hand and CCs are not placed in those places.> Chip implantation is an existing technology. The modern credit card is not a chip, rather the card houses the tiny chip.

Lambano noted: <"What did Mark actually write?"> That's a question, the manuscripts differ on this.

The mark of the beast is described in Revelation 13:16-18. It is a physical mark.

IMO: The KJV is correct in saying "as it is written in the prophets" because Mark 1:2 is taken from Malachi 3:1 and Mark 1:3 is taken from Isaiah 40:3.

IMO: The mark of the beast is basically a credit card. Your credit card has a tiny electronic chip that is sensed by an electronic card reader. That same chip could be inserted into the wrist or forehead. It conveys your credit number to the card reader in an efficient way.

IMO: o Antichrist is a human ruler supported by Satan and fallen angel. Satan (the dragon) gives him power and authority" (Revelation 13:1-10). o. The Bible says, "Satan roams the earth like a hungry lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1Peter 5:8). o Angels can choose not to be seen (2Kings...

IMO: Revelation 17:1-5 "woman" is said to be the city of Babylon, a great and wealthy city. The "beast" is said to ascend from the abyss. Presumably this is a fallen angel who was confined to the abyss when Jesus was resurrected. He is released in the end times, and he kills the two witnesses...

WPM noted: >human being... has been alive on earth for over 2000 years> IMO: o. Antichrist = *human* ruler in the end times. o. Beast = fallen *angel* released from the pit ("abyss") in the end-times. Satan and his angels were cast down to earth long ago (Ezekiel 28:14-16). Angels and...
