I agree Retro.

Kaotic, Your words: "Because Paul said. 1 Thessalonians 5:1 ¶But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. Jesus was saying that about the heathen. Not for Christian's. We have end-time signs all over in scripture to indicate to Christians when those...

Hi Tom, If I were to recommend a book it would be The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. It's a fictional book about how demons can operate to bring a christian to the point of uselessness. One thing I'd like to add is that you should take encouragement from your troubles. Satan doesn't mess with...

Hi Vet, I'm sorry I confused the issue but in our previous conversations I was sure you mentioned it, however, for clarifications sake at what point do you see the resurrection occurring? At the end of the second 1260 days? 1290 days? or 1335 days? or none of the above.

Hi Retro and Terry, Apparently my screen resolution is 1600 x 900 which is the recommended setting.

Hi Tom, This is a problem many folks go through and the only way to defeat it is with spiritual warfare. The attacks by satan are only going to get worse for all christians across the board. How you pray is the deciding factor. If we just pray for it to go away, it is unlikely it will be...

Hi kaotic, Your words: "God has never removed anyone one from persecution. He helps us through it" You accuse pre-trib and pre-wrath rapture believers of offering false hope but your statement does that. Pre-trib maybe, but pre-wrath sees us going through the great trib and suffering the...

Hi Oliver, Your words: “First, I would very much object to the idea that the church is so strongly united with Christ that the church is part of the bridegroom. I cannot see any support for that, and verses where Paul refers to betrothing a local church to Christ seem to contradict it...

Hi Retro, I voted that Jesus is my Savior because you asked what does Christ mean to me but that is not all that He is and so I was tempted to select "something else" which would be true but not to me as a Gentile believer. As Nomad pointed out the words Christ and Messiah mean "anointed" but...

Hi Terry, Your words: "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Exactly how are you getting around the 1,290 day span between the two events?" If you don't mind my...

Hi Vet, and thus we have the "problem with symbolism" which is what this topic is about. Imo, these are two different events with a different cast of characters. Yes, the bible says the locusts have tails like a scorpion but the horses have tails like serpents, not the same. Theses serpent tails...

Vet, This is regarding Rev. 9:3-10 There is no mention of "mouths" in this passage.

I have no idea what my screen resolution is.

Amen, Arnie!

Hi Retro, Yeah, the picture came up well, except maybe it was too big. You couldn't see all the writing at once you had to scroll up, down and sideways and I don't think it allowed you to do that.

Hi Retro, No, I didn't know that, very interesting. I guess time will tell. Maybe I should get some more shotgun shells :ph34r:

Hi Oliver, Here is my lengthy reply to your question: Who is the bride of Christ? Perhaps, because I'm a male of the species, I've always been uncomfortable with the description of the church as the Bride of Christ. As I've listened to various pre-trib preachers use the constant references of...

Hi Oliver, Your words: "What will not happen is a pop up and back without ever going to that place prepared for us and the marriage of the Lamb." I know you utilize this a lot but the whole church is the bride thing is highly questionable as there are zero verses in the bible that outright say...

Hi Retro, Your words: "They already knew about chariots, wagons, carts, covered wagons, and carriages for royalty. (The Romans had all of these.) If he could recognize these "contraptions" as vehicles, then it would be unlikely that he would liken then to animals or animal parts." That might be...

Hi Oliver, I think it will be obvious when it occurs. It won't be a trickle and it's not catholicism or the general state of the church. We'll know it when we see it. I think it will be sudden, caused by an event, and it will be quite large in scale, imo.
