    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    No, the worse is still yet to come! Rev. 9:13-21

    You are a literalist. Walmart would be a good choice.

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Whatever. War, sorcery and medical "witchcraft" is what this world is all about, through "the prince of this world". Pfizer and Moderna, with all of their pharmaceuticals, should take a trip to Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. But then again, that would be to no avail, because Rev. 9:13-21 is...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Yes, in that regard, I was tormented by others for not taking the shot. Even the lay leader in my church verbally quoted a scripture to me: "Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God". It was at that moment that I knew by God's will, that I would be leaving that visible denomination. The heaviness...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    The unsaved do reign in life upto the end of their life as kings, without Christians. However, Paul was in hope of their conversion to God, so that he could reign with them in Christ for Eternity. Suffering is not necessarily physical pain. It can be living a meager life in this flesh, whereby...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    The torment is WHEN.... Rev. 9 [5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he STRIKETH a man.

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Our reign with God is not ever to be over men, but rather to be in service towards them unto salvation, in this present Age of God's Grace. Through Jesus, we are now reigning as kings and priests UNTO God as it were in His stead, holding forth the Gift of His Salvation to others. 2 Cor. [20]...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    As a "born again" Christian, whether you took the shot or not, this always applies: Luke 10 [19] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    There are many here, that do not know that we are as Ambassadors FOR Christ, in this present Age of God's Grace. We ARE NOW both kings and priests. Rev. 1 [4] John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    The basis for the concept of Interfaith, has its origins with the Zionist Jews, not the Pope!! The Pope is only following/obeying the Jewish concept as a true modern day Pharisee (religionist), that he is. The origin of "Interfaith" is being based on a Jewish understanding, that they call The...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    If you are meaning that the doctrine of Christ is to be considered equal to Buddhism, Hinduism, and many similar faiths, that deny that Jesus, God's ONLY begotten Son Himself, has come in the flesh, then yes that would be what "interfaith" is. If that be the case, then all "born again"...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Hellooo, "that spirit of antichrist" is in the SINGULAR, but INFECTS the many, which are of the PLURAL. It's not ONLY about Religion!! It's about everyone who denies that Jesus our Savior has come in the flesh.

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    You don't know WHAT "the HIDDEN wisdom of God" is!! Though it be present in attendance, It doesn't thrive in any of the denominational churches. 1 Cor. ch. 2. I and a few here can assure you, it is definitely NOT that of "the wisdom of men", which is ALL the scholarly doctrines and traditions...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    You took away only what YOU wanted to glean, and did not perceive by the Holy Spirit what I said: "Interfaith is fine, as long as it is being sought after in "the hidden wisdom of God", and not by "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. ch. 2." Just on this site alone, we all are speaking to each other by...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    It's scriptural in the NT. I'm sure you can find it. That is your perogative, according to your understanding. Interfaith is fine, as long as it is being sought after in "the hidden wisdom of God", and not by "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. ch. 2. Do you "have the mind [spirit] of Christ", or...

    Well, not necessarily, if one is focussing on "bugs". You might consider the more logical alternative, a Locust tree. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust_tree

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Yes, I do "catch the jist" of what you are saying, and it is very good. As you imply, through "the mind of Christ" within us, we can know the "hidden wisdom of God", aka "the things of God", but because of our limitations in this flesh, we can only "know in part". Your counsel is wise, and is...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Yes! Which is descriptive of the joint ministry of John the Bapist and Jesus. John was for 6 mos., and Jesus was for 3 years. = 1260 days. The drought is symbolic of the Holy Spirit not coming down from heaven to people, which is the early and latter rain. Edit: though you are not requesting...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    Correct. I'll take this one step at a time. I'm not saying that I have the answer, but rather that our approach may be all wrong. Most Christians approach the verses, that you listed, literally and secularly. KJV Rev. 11:8 And their [preordained] dead bodies shall lie in the street of the...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    To much of what you say, I agree. But as to who John the Baptist was, he came in the spirit (character/nature) of Elijah, of which was promised in Malachi 4:5-6. However, before I fully agree with anyone, or myself, I look to the authority of Christ's words as being the truth of what we should...
