    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    We all get sorted into sheep and goats no matter when or how it happens. It's not dying physically that people should fear, but dying spiritually.

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    We all are one heartbeat away from meeting God face to face. Whether it happens when I die or before is really irrelevant. 50 some years went by pretty fast, and I doubt I'll get 50 more. So, yes we all need to be ready to go at any moment. On Revelation 6, did you know that at the fall of...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Like I said, people want to believe that it's all going on in their lifetime. It's more exciting that way, I suppose. Those who accept a Neronic date for the writing of Revelation, see it primarily as a prophecy of the events of the immediate future. This does not commit one to a totally...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The books were being read by the church long before the Canon was confirmed. You mean like this verse? Maybe you should ask God what it means. Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Well if it's a mystery, why would I believe random dude on internet knows what he's talking about?

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    As far as the dating of New Testament books, the pioneering labor of John A. T. Robinson in his scholarly work Redating the NewTestament is of great importance. He argues persuasively that all the books of the New Testament were written before 70 A.D. Modernists have refused to seriously...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The scripture you provided did not contain any numbers, so I don't know where you are getting them.

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    A little more detail on the historical event: Upon the burning of the holy house itself, and of all the building roundabout it, [the Roman army] brought their ensigns to the temple, and set them over against its eastern gate; and there did they offer sacrifices to them, and there did they make...

    Why aren't you struggling with this question

    The Spirit's will is that you read the Bible. God inhabits his Word.

    Ok, I was assuming if one has questions they could ask for clarification?

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Let me ask this then: If the prophecy is only predicting events that happen well after the close of the first century (that is to say, any interpretation that sees the prophesied events occurring after the expected lifespan of the book’s first readers)why were such prophesies required to be...

    Where does it declare that the tribulation starts in 2020?

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The hyper-futurist position fares very poorly We must understand that the book of revelation is essentially a letter and, like the other letters preserved in the New Testament canon of scripture, it was written primarily to specific groups for specific purposes. The New Testament letters were...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Christ’s command to His Church was clear "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19) and that this will succeed because "surely I am with you always" (28:20) and because "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (28:18). Note, that Jesus said all authority "has been...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The time is now for what? Are things worse now than they were 40 years ago? Yes, it's near, but how near? Next year or a thousand years? How would we know? C.S. Lewis, one of the greatest Christian apologists of the 20th century, felt that Jesus’ failure to return during the first century was...

    Why aren't you struggling with this question

    What law are you talking about? The cursed law that includes such things as not cutting the sides of your beard? My beard don't grow in good on the sides, so I shave that part. Will this send me to Hell?

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The FULFILLED interpretation holds that the deceivers, wars, earthquakes, famines, and pestilences were things which Jesus said would soon happen—things that would happen before the destruction of the temple. By comparing the parallel accounts, it is seen to refer to Gentile armies which would...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    How could they understand and watch for events centuries distant? This was clearly written for first century Jewish Christians.
