    Lets Get It On, Mystery Babylon.

    Eoreris said: “Right, Plus it says- And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Only Jerusalem can contain blood of prophets as it is the only city they are rejected and killed in. How this city (Mystery babylon) contains all the...

    Lets Get It On, Mystery Babylon.

    Trekson said: “Hi Ridgerunner, I think you're taking Rev. 18:24 out of context. As Revelations is a prophetic book and speaks mostly on events within Daniel's yet unfulfilled 70th week (aka the tribulation period although that's a misnomer) I believe this verse should also be read within the...

    Lets Get It On, Mystery Babylon.

    Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do know Rev18:24 tells us Babylon contains the blood of all that were slain upon the earth. For that to be true then Babylon can not be...

    There always have been martyrs & suffering. It is not wrath. These glorified Jesus.

    Makes you wonder why the pretrib folks think they are special and won't have to suffer tribulation.

    Truth about antichrist

    1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and...

    Where do the two witness' prophesy for the 1260 days of the GT?

    Shouldn't we use the definition Scripture itself provides? If seven candlesticks are sevn churches then wouldn't 2 candlesticks be 2 churches? Remember churches aren't buildings but instead groups of believers. Wouldn't the olive trees tell us who? Don't Jews come from the olive tree? Don't...

    Two witnesses 2+2=2?

    LOL does this look like my imagination? Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Rom 11:17 And if...

    Two witnesses 2+2=2?

    Rev 11:3-4 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. Let’s start by recognizing that God’s inspired Word is...

    John's First Phrase of 1 John 2:18

    Mat 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his...

    John's First Phrase of 1 John 2:18

    Veteran When interpreting Scripture one must first determine whether those verses are written in figurative language or not. In the examples you use there is nothing in the context that suggest the term is used in a figurative manner therefore in those verses it is proper to apply a literal...

    John's First Phrase of 1 John 2:18

    I already have but because you fail to understand the proper way to interpret the figurative language of prophecy you can’t see it. Rev 17:9 - 11 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen...

    John's First Phrase of 1 John 2:18

    Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. If a beast is a kingdom in Daniel it will still be a kingdom in Revelation. Joh 1:1 In...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    While I agree that there are many antichrists and they were already here when John wrote about them I must respectfully disagree with your view on Babylon. Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. America does not contain...

    The Role of the Anti-Christ

    When Scripture provides us definitions we should use them. Using mans definitions instead of using the definitions Scripture itself provides can change the whole meaning of a verse.In this case it changes the meaning from those who deny Christ to those against or instead of Christ 2Pe 1:20...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    Many believe that in 1John2:18 he was correcting a misconception that had already entered the church. The term antichrist should be a part of the everyday Christian vocabulary to describe those who deny Christ. But instead \ satan hijacked the term and has turned antichrist into a boogeyman and...

    The Role of the Anti-Christ

    Well now that you have provided us with the Greek (mans) definition lets see what Scripture actually says; 1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1Jn 2:22...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    Those who refuse to acknowledge that John already told us exactly who/what the antichrist they heard shall come was deny the simple truth contained in 1John4:3. 1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    Let’s keep it Scriptural. 2Th 2:3-4 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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he...
