You need to interpret Scripture with Scripture rather than interpret Scripture according to the late crackpot Arnold Murray. 2 Peter 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any...

The problem with this interpretation is this. The daughters of men do not just mean women, it means both men and women. It simply means those from Seth's line, both men and women, started intermingly with those of Cain's line which also consists of both men and women. Your interpretation implies...

The bottomless pit is obviously connected to the earth. After all, look at Revelation 9, for instance. The one in verse 1 is not falling from heaven to the moon or something, then opening the pit on the moon. The earth is what is in view. The locusts, whatever they are, they come out of the...

In post # 58 I pointed out that if there is a battle after that of 3) which then leads to satan no longer deceiving the nations, that should mean there is also a battle at the end of 1) leading to satan no longer deceiving the nations. But since that post was already getting rather lengthy as...

Though that appears possible to you that those can be parallel accounts let's not forget this one thing. satan does the exact same thing twice but at different times, he deceives the nations twice. And the following proves it. 1) before the thousand years satan is deceiving the nations. And 2)...

When I get time I will probably read that link you provided. In the meantime, I already agree it's a parable, not a literal event involving some rich man that is currently burning in hell bodily as we speak. Yet at the same time, it is true that one will be in hell bodily, but not yet, not until...

I realize that and the reason being is that you are humble. And I can appreciate that about you. Nothing wrong with being humble.

Not really, since there is Zechariah 14 to factor in. And that chapter shows that some are spared the plagues involving verse 12 and those coming against Jerusalem. Not one person is ever going to convince me that the 2nd coming of Christ and what happens after He returns is not in view in that...

In that case, I fully agree, it matters. Good point. I just didn't have that in mind at the time because both 'are' and 'were' would be proving satan is not cast into the LOF when the beast and fp are. That was the only point I was focusing on at the time. If I'm going to be intellectually...

Finally something that makes sense to me coming from the Amil camp. That is the best interpretation I have heard to date coming out of the Amil camp. Too bad most other Amils are apparently opposed to your interpretation rather than being onboard with it. Amil might make more sense to some of...

It's simply a prophecy that doesn't get fulfilled until the lost are resurrected first, thus given a physical body, then judged, then cast into the LOF. After all, it seems pretty silly that the soul that leaves the body upon death, that it consists of physical body parts. Not to mention, no one...

If the millennium is meaning before the 2nd coming, then who are these in verse 8 after the millennium, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea? Meaning what is their role during the millennium? After all, they just don't show up out of nowhere all of a sudden. Logic says, if they are...

It shouldn't matter. Because if we render it 'are' or 'were' it still places the beast and fp in the LOF before satan is cast into it. In Revelation 19 there are a cpl of things to note. The LOF is clearly in view. What we don't see anywhere in that chapter is this. We don't see one mention of...

I tend to think it has to do with worshiping the beast and before the 2ws rise from the dead, that being when and why they are saying peace and safety at the time. After all, the text depicts them being merry at the time. Then look what happens next. The 2Ws rise from the dead and the 7th...

Obviously, the city in question would not be a literal city geographically located somewhere. Yet this city has to be made up of literal people and that literal events, such as earthquakes can happen to literal people. Plus we have to keep in mind when this great earthquake occurs. It occurs...

In order to add or take away from anything in Revelation that means that the person has to have the correct understanding first. Can't add or take away from something you don't fully understand since that doesn't make sense. Did Joseph Smith even correctly understand Revelation to begin with...

So when are you saying Daniel 7:13-14 is initially meaning? A lot of us, Premil and Amil alike, take it to be meaning when Christ ascended to heaven 2000 years ago. Except I can't see Revelation 19 nor 20 fitting that time period. There wasn't anyone cast into the LOF 2000 years ago(Revelation...

What does Premil have to do with Revelation 16, though? I'm not basing anything on Premil. I'm basing things on the OT, for one. Because in the OT plagues and earthquakes were literal events. Take this plague, for instance. Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the...

Ummm...did you perhaps skip reading Genesis 2 and 3 or something? I can't imagine anyone asking a question like that if they have read those 2 chapters. Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God...

What are you meaning by this? Nothing can be literal in the book of Revelation? And if anyone takes anything literal, such as this great earthquake, this great hail, this means what? It also says in Revelation that this book is prophecy. Prophesies typically involve literal events that are...
