    The Problem with Symbolism

    Kaotic, the so-called discrepancies can be easily explained but once I saw your view on saddam, i'm not even going to bother.

    America is Babylon

    Hi Kaotic, Your scripture: Daniel 7:2  Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. As pointed out in another post the beast of Dan. 7 is not the same as the beast of Rev. 13. Yes, the beast of Rev. 13 is made up of...

    The Trinity in the OT

    Hi Jerzy, Here's a couple of scriptures for you. 1 Cor. 2:14 - "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." You see, you need to be filled with...

    Teaching Kids the Ten Commandments

    Hi Rand, Your words: When the law was given, 3000 people died. THis was the first account (that I've found) of someone dieing while the Jews were in the wilderness. In the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit was given, 3000 people were saved." This is a pretty cool fact if true. I'm gonna...

    The Trinity in the OT

    Sounds to me like someone has a serious case of denial, a lack of understanding who God is and how He relates to us. Acts 1:4-5 - "And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard...

    America is Babylon

    Hi Kaotic, Your words: "The beast is said to rise out of the Great sea which is the Meditterranean. The US isn't on the Med..." The words "great sea" aren't in the text and it is only an assumption that it is referring to the Med. sea. Your reference: "Habakkuk 1:6 For, lo, I raise up the...

    Started Topics

    Hi, My memory isn't what it used to be and I was wondering if there was a way to check on the titles of topics I've started. I'd hate to post the same thing twice. I checked under my profile, saw the tab for topics but it only gave me the last 3 or 4 and I didn't see any way to go beyond that...

    The Problem with Symbolism

    Hi Arnie, (and Aspen) Pardon me for saying so, but the examples you gave are not symbolic language. Symbolism cannot be simply defined as "descriptive" language. There are many words like: typology, similies, metaphors, adjectives, allegories, figurative, literal and symbolic that may seem the...

    America is Babylon

    Hi Eltanin, Your words: "But I realized that I was always getting a grand idea, and then trying to stuff it into the cookie cutter shape the Bible explained...." I still have a look once in awhile... but I think I understand now: It isn't meant to be understood now, it is meant to be a proof...

    The Problem with Symbolism

    Josy, I'm not sure what you're saying here: "A good example is the 70 year prophecy of Jeremiah (that happened and was recorded by many) being transformed into the 70 week prophecy of Daniel (as he was praying about the 70 year prophecy) that is yet to come." These are two completely separate...

    America is Babylon

    Hi Kaotic, I don't know if you were referring to me or not but I never claimed that any beast was the USA. I claim that the Harlot of Rev. 17 is and she is never described as a "beast".

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    Hi Vet, Your words: "In Matthew 24 and Mark 13 is where He first covered those 7 Signs. The very last Sign He covered there is about the time of His second coming and our gathering to Him. So what do you think the very last Sign of His Revelation ought to be? That's right, the time of His coming...

    Israel's End-Time Beliefs

    I first wrote this last December for another group I belonged to. With all this talk about the 12th Imam being the anti-christ, I thought it might be a good idea to review what Israel’s end times beliefs are, something that Glenn Beck didn’t cover. I think their beliefs should weigh more...

    The Problem with 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 my opinion, those who interpret scripture, especially prophetic scriptures utilizing symbolism are way off...

    Identifying the Beasts of Revelations

    Hi Richard, Thanks for your comments but I still disagree. Your words:"John then writes in reverse order in Revelation 13: that the first beast he saw had the dreaded "ten horns" (13:1), the second was "like a leopard" (13:1), the third was "like a bear" (13:2) and the fourth was like "a lion"...

    Did Jesus order purchase of swords in Lu 22:36?

    I gotta side with Vet on this issue.

    Gay Marriage Rights

    I believe that gay people should have the right to marry. This is, after all, a democratic society, not a theocratic one. (thank God!) It is not our place as believers to legislate the lifestyles of unbelievers. Are they sinning? Of course, but most hetero marriages are founded in sin as well. I...

    America is Babylon

    Hi Vet, That's ok but as for your statement: "It's not a Biblical teaching, period." I believe there are more scriptual foundations for this belief than any other. God told us in Rev. 17:9 that it takes "wisdom" to understand these things. Imo, those who fall for the obvious are the ones who...

    Identifying the Beasts of Revelations

    This is a follow up to the America is Babylon post. IDENTIFYING THE BEASTS OF REVELATION To understand the beasts of Revelation we need to go back to the source. The book of Daniel is one of the keys to unlocking the mysteries of Revelation. The future beasts find their prophetic beginnings in...
