    What is the book of Revelation really about?

    Because so far the regional ripples in history that bear similarities to the prophecied catastrophic events of Revelation have been mere fractals that prefigure the fullscale global dynamic prior to the destruction of the old universe and the creation of the new one. Rev 21:1-4 Now I saw a...

    What is the book of Revelation really about?

    Yes, there is a definite formality being observed by addressing each letter as such, so that in each of the seven ekklesias named delegated authority to receive and publically communicate the message that John was instructed to write is given rather than it being put to committee to decide...

    The Strong Delusion, 2 Thessalonians 2:11

    They do not share the LOVE of the Gospel truth that the saints have. In fact they despise it, and favour things like Marxism and secular humanism, which are strong delusions.

    The Strong Delusion, 2 Thessalonians 2:11

    Typo Alert: Should be "Delusion".

    The Strong Delusion, 2 Thessalonians 2:11

    The strong delusion sent by God renders those who despise the truth of the Gospel beyond redemption.

    What is the book of Revelation really about?

    Link to Quote 1:Ephesus - Phantis The weed-covered desolation above of Odeum, the smaller theatre of Ephesus, symbolizes the state of Christianity today in Turkey, where Ephesus is located. Turkey, once the heartland of Paul's ministry, is 99% Muslim and devoid of Bible-based Christianity...

    What is the book of Revelation really about?

    The Book of Revelation is the climactic prophecy that completes the narrative of God's dealings with His Creation.

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    The matter is easily resolved by illumination from this passage: 1Jn 5:6-12 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. (7) For there are three that bear witness in...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Are you there, Wrangler? I hope you will consider this verse sufficient to distinguish between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

    The Journey in the Wilderness

    Hi Ziggy, Thanks for bringing this subject up. There is a Scripturally sound perspective that has the earthly temporary Ark of the Covenant as a copy of the heavenly eternal Ark of the Covenant. Made According to Pattern: Exo 25:9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the...

    Why is only satan bound for 1000 years?

    If as you believe, Satan is currently bound and sealed in the abyss then all that precedes this, including the Revelation 19 war of the beast and his army against Christ on the White Horse, and the casting of the beast and the false prophet into the Lake of Fire, has already taken place. Enough...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Yes, I've spent some time on this apparent contradiction because it also arises in relation to the fruit yielded by the Tree of Life. The word month derives from the word moon and implies a division of duration based on the moon's orbit. Given that there is no need for light from the sun and and...

    Like the Days of Noah...

    Best not to suppress the truth in unrighteousness but to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ who is declared to be the Son of God, as per these verses: Rom 1:1-4 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God (2) which He promised before...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Either way, your belief above or the orthodox Christian belief of individual spirits, in biblical terminology when the body is dead the person is said to be sleeping, and their spirit absent from their body and present with the Lord. 2Co 5:1-10 For we know that if our earthly house, this...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Yes, the biblical terminology is one thing but the biblical doctrine is another. 1Th 5:9-10 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, (10) who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. The biblical...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Hi Wrangler, I have come to understand the Lake of Fire to be the theographic location of God's Wrath. Also, it seems to me the suggestion of soul sleep is not compatible with the answer Jesus gave the Sadducees. Mat 22:32 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB' ...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Some Sabbatarians are as mean as snakes: The Lord of the Sabbath (1 Samuel 21:1–7; Matthew 12:1–8; Luke 6:1–5) Mark 2:23One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along. 24So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    Well given the heretical title of your thread it doesn't surprise me that you are unfamiliar with the simple truth that Christ died for all to be saved (sufficient grace), but only those who are willing to be saved will be (efficient grace). Now would be a good time for you to recant the heresy...
