    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    In 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul gives us enough markers for identifying the term, "lawlessness," the "timing"of when this "lawlessness begins and ends," and the ability to identify the man of lawlessness. If one can identify each of his marker's in Scripture and history, then the field of possible...

    Four horseman in Revelation

    Does anyone have a fairly good understanding of who these 4 horseman represent? Do they take place during / at the end times or are they affecting us today (and by today I mean during the past XXX years after the cross)? Thanks.

    Daniel 7:11 “the beast.”

    In Daniel 7:11 he writes that the beast will be slain….. Who is this beast? When was this beast slain? Is this one of the 4 kingdoms identified in chapter 2? Why is this (if it is) so relevant in this chapter?

    Daniel 7 - 10 horns....

    In Daniel 7, we are told the 10 horns come out of the 4th beast kingdom and only then does the little horn come out after them. If the 4th beast kingdom is pagan Rome, and the 10 horns represent a new symbol for the 10 toes in the 4th kingdom of iron in Daniel 2, then who do they represent? If...

    What happened to the 10 toes in Daniel 2?

    In Daniel 2, God identified the 4 metal kingdoms in His plan of salvation and restoration for His people and mankind. The four kingdoms are quite easily identified (IMO), as: 1) Gold - Babylon, 2) Silver - Medes- Persia, 3) Bronze - Greece, 4) Iron - Rome Now, we easily can see that God's...

    Revelation chapter 20 - Gog and Magog

    Who is God and Magog? If you find they represent those dead in Christ and have been resurrected, then they are destroyed by fire (20:7-9), and then Satan, who was also brought out of the abyss would be sent to the lake of fire and never heard of again. And it that is true (which I believe...

    Revelation - chapters 19 and 20

    Well, I am now nlooking into chapters 19 and 20...... and even without looking back to other relevant verses in both the old and the new testament, it is extremely difficult to understand the timing of His return, the 1000 years - symbolic or literal, whether it is on earth or in heaven, and how...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Okay, I am trying to focus on these very difficult verses that, from what I understand, no one has been able to interpret. But I am sure there is no shortage of opinions out there. But if you are willing to offer your interpretations - please explain why they are who you believe they are....

    Revelation 17 - the Harlot and the Beast

    Okay, just started to open up chapter 17. I am sure there are more than a few opinions for the identity of both the Harlot and the Beast. I don't believe at this time in my reading they represent new actors to Revelation, so let me know your thoughts...

    Revelation 16

    I am now focusing on Revelation 16 and would like to ask everyone if these 7 bowls are literal or symbolic.

    Revelation 14:1 What is going on here?

    Okay, I am now starting chapter 14 and notice we have the 144000 standing with God on Mt. Zion, or is this in heaven (Mt. Zion is the symbol here). Have the 144000 been brought up to heaven... I don't remember seeing that in chapter 13. I see 3 angels shouting a few things and rhen in verse 14...

    Revelation 13:17-18 (666)

    Okay, I am now at verse 13:17-18 which introduces us to the number 666. I don’t expect this is going to be an easy interpretation… as many have been, but I don’t think I have seen or read any that made any sense … but I have never studied this before … So, anyone truly interpret these two verses?

    I am now attempting to understand the 5th trumpet in Revelation 9: 1- 12 - the first Woe. Now this is complicated! Any thoughts on these fellows and don't forget to comment on what the 5 months means - it is repeated twice within these few verses. Thanks
