Antiochus IV Epiphanes had gone with part of his army to reestablish authority over the eastern part of his empire, after king Mithridates of Parthia had seized the city of Herat in 167 BC, disrupting the direct trade route to India, and effectively splitting the Greek world in two. After this...

TIMES JESUS HIMSELF IS QUOTED SPEAKING TO HIS ASSEMBLIES AND HIS SAINTS IN HIS REVELATION INTRODUCING HIMSELF: "I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and...

1 Timothy 3:10 And let these also first (prōton) be proved; then (eîta) let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. There's a period of time appointed between the proton and the eita in the above verse. Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time...

We imagine a war with soldiers dressed in their camouflage and holding their service rifles. We imagine weapons to be tanks and drones and military aircraft and ships and hand grenades and missiles and rockets and mines. But this is not the clothing worn by Christ's soldiers, nor the weapons...

The New Testament was not written in English. It was written in Greek (though many Christians make Greek out of what the New Testament says in English). Note that the fact that people being killed specifically for refusing to worship the beast or his image, or receiving his mark or the number...

1. John taught us that ALL humans who do not believe in the Son of God are anti-Christ(ian). (1 John 2:22-23). 2. Paul taught that not ALL naturally-born descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are Israel (Romans 9:6-8), because those of the naturally-born descendants of Abraham, Isaac and...

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence [Hebrew: châmâs | Hamas]. -- Genesis 6:11 The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. If a person does not repent, God sharpens his...

Nobody ever sealed a blank scroll, and nobody ever wrote the contents of the scroll into the seals. A lot of people have made the mistake, though, of thinking that the seals are the scroll, or what's written in the scroll. The book of Revelation is packed with types and antitypes (example...

This isn't a poll. It's a question I'm interested to hear your answer to. Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. Colossians 3:1-5 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking...

Disclaimer: This four-part post (four posts) is not telling anyone who the two witnesses are. It's merely sharing things I've seen in the Bible that may help us understand the subject of Revelation's two witnesses better because there seems to be definite links in all the scriptures listed in...
