The meaning of the expression “new heavens and a new earth” is found at Isaiah 65:17; 66:22 and quoted by the apostle Peter at 2 Peter 3:13. Observing such relationship, M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia (1891, Vol. IV, p. 122) comments: “In Isa. lxv, 17, a new heaven and a new earth signify...

In support, I wonder if anyone of us would wear, display, hold in reverence-a symbol-of a weapon that was used to kill/torturer one of aifour loved ones. However, is not an "Icathus" an "idol" something that may to be worshiped or viewed with reverence?

The rider of this white horse has a bow, an offensive weapon of war, but he is also given a crown. The only righteous ones seen wearing crowns during the Lord’s Day are Jesus and the class represented by the 24 elders. (Daniel 7:13, 14, 27; Luke 1:31-33; Revelation 4:4, 10; 14:14) It is...

This new covenant discussed at Hebrews 8;&-13 is not referring to fleshly Israel/Judah-as a nation/religion-but to "spiritual" Israel. Furthermore, it is referring to the 144.000 anointed for a heavenly reward. Compare only a few supporting scriptures: Luke 12:32; 14:16-24; John 10:16; 14:2...

It is a prophecy stated by Simeon. He was referring to the death of Joseph and Mary's new born son (Jesus) that would suffer an agonizing death. This would be emotional painful as though a sword literally pierce Mary.

In support of your post and for the readers that are pro-abortion or undecided consider these scriptures that may provide insight: Psalms 127:3; 139:13-16; Isaiah 44:24; 46:3; 49:1, 5; Jeremiah 1:5; Luke 1:41, 44; 48:8. Note what Galatians 5: 19 says about fornication (any sexual contact...

Yes, I agree that human society is ruining the physical earth faster than it can recover. And "us" is referring to the unrighteous. However, I believe that Revelation 11:18-in part-is a metaphor and has a deeper or dual meaning regarding “…those ruining the earth.” A question could be how...

Death is a curse that came upon the human family after Adam sinned.-Romans 5:12; 6:23 Revelation 21:4 is reassuring us of the prophecy at Isaiah 25:8 where God promised: “He will swallow up death forever.” And, “…will wipe away the tears from all faces.” See 1 Corinthians 15:24-26.
