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.

Nobody is condemned for their personal sins. All sins have been paid for, including the unbelievers'. See 2 Pt 2:1 False Teachers and Their Destruction 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce...

Ronald, sorry but I don't reply to Reformed students. I thank you for taking the time to respond. God Bless

You said: Correct. My position is that which applies to me and defended by scripture itself. Same here. Heb 8.13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

You didn't defend your position, you just asserted it. So I really don't have much to say. The Mosaic Law became obsolete after Christ's earthly ministry, so, no, I am not under the Mosaic Law, nor was the Apostle Paul. Do you argue that Rom 7: Read my post that claims otherwise. See #91 above.

Paul sinned after becoming an Apostle. See Rom 7 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18...

No one is eternally condemned until they die without believing in Christ. They can always accept Christ while they are alive.
