All this according to who's interpretation of Scripture? The men fell for Ellen Whites twisting of Scripture? The Ellen White who is considered as a false prophet by most of Christianity? If your men lied to you about The Trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit or simply put 1+1+1=3) then what else are they lying to you about Brakelite?
Keeping it real...Mary
The scripture is interpreting itself. It speaks for itself. How else can the following be understood....
KJV Revelation 12:3-4
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and
the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
We know from history and the scriptures, that they one who was Satan's agent in attempting to kill the child, was Herod. Compare...
KJV Revelation 12:3
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
KJV Daniel 7:7
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
KJV Revelation 13:1-2
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
A child could recognize the connections. This has nothing to do with Ellen White. The entire reformation was based on this knowledge and understanding. There was barely any reformer who didn't teach this. Which is why the Jesuits made up the futurist and preterist method of interpreting scripture. Anything to remove the accusing fingers of the reformers away from Rome. The truth is plain to see for those who have eyes to see.
