II Th 2:3-4 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in...

The main idea about MYSTERY, BABYLON is false worship and those who set it up in the last days. The MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH is a descriptive title the woman (great city) wears. That title reveals what its working is about, which is the...

Strong's no.1675 you quoted has another part you left out. 1675 Hellenistes from a derivative of 1672; 1672 Hellen from 1671; a Hellen (Grecian) or inhabitant of Hellas; by extension a Greek-speaking person, especially a non-Jew. John 7:35 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither...

Acts 13:42-43 42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded...

Here's more of what happens on that day of Christ's return. Isa 25:6-9 6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And He will destroy in this...

The false idea that The Gospel Paul preached among the Gentiles was a different Gospel than what Christ and His Aposltes preached is a doctrine of men who seek to cause divisions within Christ's many-membered Body, His Church. Rom 9:24-26 24 Even us, whom He hath called, not of the Jews...

Many doctrines of men are being preached on what happens at Christ's second coming and our gathering to Him. Some are taught Christ is going to secretly 'rapture' us to Heaven before the tribulation, with leaving the rest of peoples on earth. Some believe only Gentile Christians are going to be...

Not true. Acts 14:1 1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. (KJV) Acts 18:4 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the...

You made the following statement: The idea that any part of God's Word should take precedence over its other parts is error. God's Word is to be taken as a whole, not in pieces, even as Apostle Paul showed... 2 Tim 3:16-17 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable...

The word "MYSTERY" in the Greek of Rev.17:5 about endtime Babylon is 'musterion', and is about some secret that is hidden from plain view. It is also a word used to imply knowledge or understanding transferred through religious rites of initiation. In Matthew 13, when our Lord Jesus spoke to...

The way I understand it, there's three main areas that original NT texts spring from, the Alexandrian, the Western, and the Byzantine. The KJV NT is mainly from the Byzantine, and makes up the majority of known Greek manuscripts, hence the "Majority" text or Textus Receptus (Received Text)...

Here's a simple poser, yet a profound mystery. When God formed Adam and Eve in the flesh, and placed them in His Garden of Eden, the serpent tempted them. Per Rev.12:7 and 20:2, our Lord tells us "that old serpent" is simply another title for Satan himself. We also know Satan was cast from...

I agree about the requirement of Faith, but not the rest. There is plenty enough historical evidence written in God's Word to show its accuracy in prophecy. There also exists a multitude of science in God's Word that man's secular science only came to know in later centuries (doctors washing...

Excellent post Elijah returns. That's a keeper. Concerning the idea of wealth, we can see many examples of history of those who had wealth but were still not satisfied, and wanted power to go along with it. Many of the wicked see wealth only as a means to get power. It points to the nature of...

Per the Jewish historian Josephus (100 A.D.), the Romans never were able to enter the Jerusalem temple before it burned. It caught fire prior to their being able to desolate it with setting up any abomination (idol) within it. But Antiochus Epiphanes in 165 B.C. did enter the temple and...

It would only make sense to those who are familiar with the Old Testament history about Samaria, and where the Samaritans came from (2 Kings 17 and Josephus' histories). Old Testament study reveals more about what our Lord Jesus and His Apostles taught in the New Testament. Another example is...

That's not written in God's Word. Here's what's written... John 5:28-29 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done...

The timeline of that section of Joel 2 is not that difficult to understand... Joel 2:18-32 18 Then will the LORD be jealous for His land, and pity His people. What's the context of the Book of Joel been prior to this section of Joel 2:18-32? It's about the locust army being sent upon God's...

That is where many go wrong in God's Word, for ALL of God's Word agrees with Itself. What God gave the Old Testament prophets to write will never disagree with what's written in the New Testament Books, and visa versa. This is why Christ's Apostles quoted directly from the Old Testament Books...

Those are not personal issues, they're doctrinal issues. Many on the Preterist and Historicist views wrestle with those issues.
