I don't want to be obnoxious, but i can assure you that your understanding of Greek is incorrect. Can you cite one Greek authority that holds this view? In Greek, the "-ma" ending, for example, on a noun typically indicates an action, state, or result derived from a verb, essentially creating a...

No, this is incorrect. The Greek genders do not have these properties.

I am sorry but I don't quite understand your questions

Your title is correct, but not for the Ezek Gog and Magog war. There is a Gog (the leader) and Magog (the land) war at the end of the 1,000 years, but the question is which one is mentioned the Rev 20 or the Ezek 38 war, there are both wars that are named Gog and Magog, just like we have WW1 and...

What do you think John actually saw? Did he see a symbolic creature with the characteristics he describes in this passage? He saw something in his vision. And if he can't see a spirit creature, how was he able to see the actual demon (spirit being)? Heb 13.2 Do not forget to show hospitality to...

sorry for misunderstanding you! I am saying that the animals looked somewhat like locusts are demons, and not a symbolic expression of demons. I come to this conclusion because of what John says about them in the chapter. These demons had a locust-like appearance. They actually had horse-like...

I think you might have a different understanding if you look at the whole passage you cited. These locusts are able to understand human statements. The take directions. And, a further description of these locusts is that they looked LIKE horses. Do you still think there were locusts? Read the...

This is a demonic army that are being lead by the 4 demons released from the Abyss. The fifth trumpet is clearly a demonic horde invading the earth. The 5th and 6th trumpets go together, so it is very likely that the 200 million army are demons. The leaders of the army are 4 demons, which, since...

I have a post on this site where I show members the word Rapture in the Bible.

I allow symbolism within the literal hermeneutic, but not that much. Symbolism has no way of knowing what the symbolism stands for. It is open to many interpretations. Literal hermeneutics does not have to put up with that. For example, there is symbolism in the Psalms because of the type of...

They are identified as demons later in this chapter. I don't think they represent anything, I think they were demons. Also, I take the number 200 million as the actual number of demons who came out of the Abyss.

The problem with this heading, when are God's elect justified, is that not all elect will be justified/saved. The nation of Israel was an elect nation but not everyone was justified or saved. To be an elect is to be called to a privileged position, not salvation. The elect need to accept Christ...

What is symbolic about demons? What is symbolic about 5 months? John just saw demons inflicting pain to man. I don't see anything symbolic in this passage. Yes there is symbolism in the Bible, but not near the amount of what someone who has a symbolic hermeneutic for the book of Revelation.

For John, I would say that he saw demons that resembled locusts and had tails like scorpions. The 5 months are literally five months. So, I think that John described exactly what he saw and what they looked like.

These locusts are demons who were confined to the shaft of the Abyss until God allowed their release. The five months is exactly that, 5 months. These locusts could take instructions so they are not what we would call locusts. The only beings in the Abyss are demons.

I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. You need to do some serious study on sin and Soteriology.

That's the exact opposite of what this passage says! 35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name: 36 “Only if these decrees vanish...

The Davidic Covenant I apologize for the double spacing of part of this article. I first wrote it in MS Word, then cut and pasted into here. Thus it may be said that the land promises of the Abrahamic covenant are developed in the Palestinian covenant, the seed promises are developed in the...

Are you referring to being dragged or allured? I wrote an article on that several years ago.

I will take this response as you have no intelligent reply.
