Hi Dani, Your words:" The mark of the beast on the forehead and, or, on the right hand, has to be spiritual. It was in the old testament, the commandments of God were to be on the right hand and on the forehead, (Deut 11:13-22, and Deut 6:6-7) No, it doesn't have to be spiritual. They literally...

Hi Retro, Sorry it's been awhile but a spell of good weather means "make hay while the sun shines". However, the rain is back and so am I. Your words:"The imagination is a wonderful tool; however, it is also the human race's WORST "Achilles' heel!" ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS temper your imagination...

Hi Guys, Just a quick comment regarding the thoughts behind this paragraph..."Look, this is a real tragedy. You can think about me whatever you want, but I have ALREADY accounted for how the top 1,496 miles of occupants are able to breathe! They are ENCASED within the walls of the city! There is...

Hi Wormwood, Your words:"Clearly, in 1 John, the word means "against Christ." There is nothing in this context to suggest that these are false Christs. Rather. John defines these people as opposing and denying Christ. Thus, "antichrist" is defined as those who oppose/deny Christ in the only...

Hi Retro, Considering that all those that are eligible for citizenship under the Law of Return equals 21.7 million and that as of 2013 the US population of Jews is est. at 6 million and the 2013 census in Israel put Jewish residency at 6,040,000, I would say that your figures of 271,000 plus do...

Hi Retro, Your words: "You asked, "Do you really believe the throne of God with the sea of glass and Christ sitting on His right hand is just floating somewhere beyond our solar system? I think the bible overwhelmingly implies that it is a specific location." The New Jerusalem IS a "specific...

Why can't it be both? In men's hearts for believers and a temporary temple built with hands for unbelieving Jews in the near future.

Hi Jack, Again a little confusing. I think we agree. Even though a new temple might be built, I don't think any aspect of God will abide there until Christ returns and rebuilds Jerusalem.

Whatever

Well, here's my three cents. I do believe there will be a future physical temple because the majority of the Jews are not born again and still see the need for a temple to offer sacrifices in. Will God honor their sacrifices? Of course not! I think that aspect of it will be short-lived and that...

Hi Retro, Are you saying that your Strong's Gr3772 does NOT use the phrase, "abode of God"? I think your insistence that once a word is used it always means the same thing is errant. For example, I could say "I have some extra "space" in my closet" and "there are several solar systems in...

Hi Jack, Following your thought lines can be a little confusing but I'll give it my best shot. Do I think the no. 666 is a "real" number? Yes, I do! Will it actually be 666? I don't know but I believe all believers will recognize it when it arrives and I do believe it will be a literal mark of...

Hi Tex, Your words: "For a piece in Revelation that has no explanation, yet is obvious, turn to chapter 12. There is no explanation given as to what was talked about. However, John is speaking of Jesus' birth and infancy. Jesus was born, and Herod attempted to kill him. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus...

Hi Jack, I think we'd be better off leaving symbolism out of it except for the obvious passages. Symbolism and Numerology have no place as a "standard" for interpreting prophecy.

Hi Jack, I believe the wrath of God is in two parts. The wrath of the Lamb, Rev. 6:16 which are the trumpet judgments and the wrath of God, Rev. 16:1 which are the vial judgments, neither have begun yet.

Hi Marcus, I like how you think. Are you pre-wrath?

Well, here's some thoughts from the holler. I think the city is cubical. I think it hovers over the earth, not in orbit per se but probably around 200-300' in the air. Rev. 21 says they go "in" to it but not how. In Zech 14:16-18 it says they will go "up" to the city three times. I think it's...

Hi Retro, Wow! I really appreciate the short reply and not a single bible verse mentioned! Amazing :P I know we really don't see eye-to-eye most of the time but that's mostly because you come from a direction that I don't agree with regarding Israel. I don't believe I implied rescue from...

Hi Shturt, Jesus is the only one worthy to open the scroll because He was the only perfect man to obey the whole law, which resulted in Him being pure enough to become our sacrificial Lamb. By His obedience and perfect life He paved the way for us to receive the free gift of grace, by fulfilling...

Hi Tex, I'm still pondering the "main" question but for now here are a few thoughts I have regarding symbolism. The definition of “symbolism” is “the practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events or relationships.” In...
