The Bible says: "How you are fallen from heaven , O Day Star, son of the Dawn." (Isaiah 14:12). If he is not in heaven, then earth is the only other place I know of that he could be. In fact, the Bible verifies this: o "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring...

"Fire come down from heaven" (Revelation 13:13) is reminiscent of 2Kings 1:10: "...let fire come down from heaven." Could be asteroids, it's hard to say without more information.

IMO: Jesus promised never to leave any Christian believer: "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5, citing Deuteronomy 31:6). In 1Samuel16:14 the Holy Spirit did depart from Saul. Jesus had not yet paid our penalty for us, so at that time support of the Spirit was not...

IMO: The "beast rising from the sea" (Rev 13 1), i.e. from the abyss (Rev 11:7), is a demonic ruler. "Demon" = "fallen angel." "Sea" is perhaps the Mediterranean Sea, alongside Israel. In Rev 20:3 an angel throws Satan into the abyss after the return of Jesus. Satan will abide in the abyss...

Luther7 noted: >tribulation> Revelation 7:9-14 describes a multitude of people who die during the tribulation. I suspect this applies mainly to Jerusalem and the middle east, since that is where the contention has always been. Revelation 7:17 says: "the Lamb at the center of the throne...

Monobiblical noted: "He (Satan) has already been released." IMO the Bible indicates that Satan was cast down from heaven to earth long ago (Isaiah 14:12).

Satan (a cherub) and his angels were thrown down to earth many years ago: "You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you." (Ezekiel 28:14) "How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn." (Isaiah 14:12-15) "And the great dragon was hurled down--that ancient...

IMO "mark of the beast in the hand or forehead" is perhaps an implanted tiny chip, like the one in your credit card. The issue here is control. People without the mark will be limited in what they can buy or sell.

The Jewish people have been training priests and fashioning accessories for the temple.

Christians adhere to the gospel (Old English godspel = "good news"). The apostle Paul summed it up: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost." (1Timithy 1:15). Our brother Paul persecuted Christian Jews, accusing them of blasphemy, since they regarded a man named...

IMO: The two witnesses (Revelation 11:3) disrupt the control of the Anti Christ, until he kills them (Revelation 11:7). The people are relieved, and put their two dead bodies on display, but then the two witnesses are suddenly taken up into heaven (Revelation 11:11-12). This a followed by an...

Ezekiel 28 is a lament about the king of Tyre, and also about the cherub Satan, along with the angels that follow Satan. It says Satan had inhabited the mountain of God (presumably in heaven), but was eventually thrown to earth.

IMO: The six "beasts" appointed to preserve order in the Middle East are: 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon 4. Persia 5. Greece 6. Rome Daniel lived during the Babylonian empire, so he saw three future "beasts": Persia, Greece, Rome. Then he saw a fourth beast not like the others, because it...

This question about end times depends upon the definition of "end times." One definition of end times is the warning of Jesus in Matthew 24:15: "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who...

Satan abides in hell 1000 years, during the millennial reign of Jesus. He is then released a short while, leads an attack on Jerusalem, and is thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:1-10). Currently Satan roams the earth: o "I threw you to the earth" (Ezekiel 28:16) o "the devil prowls...

IMO: Revelation 20:4 refers to judgment of those mortals who survive the bowl judgments and the battle of Jesus and his angels versus Satan and his angels. This battle will occur at the plain of Megido in Israel. Revelation 16:16 calls this plain Armageddon, which is a Greek rendering of...

IMO: "Peace and safety" (proclaimed by unbelievers) is prompted by the death of the "two witnesses" (Rev 11:3-13). These two witnesses are subsequently caught up to heaven, whereupon an earthquake occurs (Rev 11:13), expressing the displeasure of God at how His witnesses were treated.

"End times" typically refers to a final seven-year period (see Daniel 9:27). These events will be very clear, and will include the partial rebuilding of the Jewish temple (Malachi 3:1).

IMO: "Earth" in Revelation 11:12 is Greek γη = "land." There was no concept of planet earth in New Testament times.
