<Just asking, not being argumentative, why is the same Hebrew word "Elohim" used when referring to the false goddess Ashtoreth:> Hebrew El = "lord, master ruler, etc.". It is not specific to Yahweh. Elohim is the Hebrew plural of El. We call this a "plural of majesty" when used to denote a...

A star is a bright object in the sky. The ancients thought of the planets as "wandering stars" (Jude 13). This concept can be extended, for example we speak of movie stars, that are attractive people. Likewise bright angels and cherubim can be thought of as stars. Angels are incredibly...

<No, Daniel's 70th week is the 7yr tribulations for Israel and the whole world...2/3 of their population will die during this time.> There was no concept or of plant earth in Biblical times.

TribulationSigns noted: <You may have been conditioned to believe there are literal angels behind every thought.> If you disagree with what I posted then I invite you to quote what I said and then explain why you disagree. Jesus said, "See that you do not despise one of the less little ones...

Bladerunner asked: <you think we are in Daniel's 70th week?> I think there is a time period of seventy "sevens." Jesus came on the 69th seven, but we killed him, hence one more seven remains. "Seven" = "seven years," where "year" = 360 days. The focus will be on Israel and the Middle East...

o Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven, and they dwell among us (Isaiah 14:12, Ezekiel 28:17, Revelation 12:7-9, Luke 10:18, 1Peter 5:8-9). o There are guardian angels on earth as well to protect us from them (Psalm 91:11-12, Matthew 18:10, Daniel 6:22, Acts 12:7).

<Out of what land do you believe that beast will rise?> I assume the beast will go up the same path he took going down, somewhere in the Middle East. This will occur after his 1000-years incarceration (Revelation 20:2).

IMO: This holy city new Jerusalem appears in the new heaves and earth. "Prepared as a bride" indicates "pure and beautiful." Sin corrupts the sinner and everything associated with the sinner, hence this entire universe must first be disposed, then recreated, and repopulated. This is analogous...
