Amen. Going through it all though and being a living witness to those events won't be easy, but God has promised that our water and bread will be sure. And His protection certain.

So you are really just guessing and you don't really know. As I said, 10 or more criteria. Nero doesn't fit. No individual can fit all the criteria, which is why your answer was weak. Yes, Nero was a bad man. But that isn't actually one of the criteria. Did you know the word Antichrist means...

Seems to me to be mightily presumptuous to demand everyone here believe your opinion on how Jesus would answer a certain way to a hypothetical question.

I am offering you a far more scripturally sound alternative to the preterist position. But because it offends your sensibilities that alternative is now an insult? You are proving me right though...I said you are clinging tenaciously to your ideas regardless of further information, and you...

Which is what all deceived people say.

I really don't think you have thought this through Matthew, but simply grabbed a couple of things that look right and clung to them tenaciously while ignoring everything to the contrary.

Very weak. Scripture interprets scripture. Every beast in Daniel represented an empire. Revelation12 has two beasts, the first of which is a composite of the 4 in Daniel. And you think all of a sudden a composite of 4 empires is to be found in one man? A man that ruled for just 14 years? Please...

That's what happens when you don't read scripture that threatens your cherished opinions.

The statue of Daniel 2 represented 4 empires... Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece, and Rome. After Rome was broken up, it became a union of clay, representing the church, and iron, representing the old imperial Roman hierarchy. Pagan Rome became papal Rome and was divided between 10 kings. According...

Where else in prophetic scripture does a beast represent an individual person?

Indeed they were. And I explained fully why God hid from them the real time of His coming.

So who is the composite beast of Revelation 13:1?

Like I said I'm my last post. He had been defeated in as much as his power has been broken, and his legal entitlement to the earth now negated. But his ideas are still alive and very well, and the vast majority of people on the earth still believe them. A. That God is to be feared. B. That sin...

That is pure and simple scandal mongering and false representation, and unworthy of an answer.

I'm sorry, but this informs me of your spiritual condition rather than my grammatical content. You prefer me to use my own words instead of scripture? Did you not read where those texts referred literally to the entire planet? Reel to and fro like a drunkard? Slain people scattered from one end...

As significant as the destruction of Jerusalem was in 70ad, believe me, it pales into insignificance when compared to what is to take place before Christ's second coming in glory. Those texts I quoted are not to be cast aside as irrelevant to the discussion and explained away as pertaining only...

KJV Daniel 2:45 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and...

KJV Isaiah 2:12, 17-21 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall...

There is a good sound reason why God did not reveal the length of time until His second coming. It would be so people didn't get complacent, disillusioned, or fearful. A good analogy for this is to be found in the purposes of Christopher Columbus. Montgomery, in his American History,2 edition of...

All letters were not only immediate to the 7 churches at that time, but also prophetic, 4 of those churches Jesus intimated would be there at His second coming, which Matthew, had not yet taken place. Paul, John, Peter, Jude, all wow of the second coming as yet future. KJV Revelation 2:18, 25-26...
