I stated this wrong " You seek out the word definition and grammar and I seek out the wisdom in God's Word and you think you can defeat me in a debate, or find greater truth and understanding? Wisdom is the path to discover truth not grammar and word definition. "
It should say; wisdom is greater than grammar and word definition in understanding God's Word. Thiis word grammar and definition thing is why the people did not recognize the birth of Jesus... and it was three WISE men that did. Funny most don't recognize this today.
Regardless of what you think about me, I'm not here to simply defeat people in debate. You're actually expressing a lawyer's viewpoint, and I certainly do not adhere to any such thinking as that.
Wisdom is about discernment, and it comes by understanding from our Heavenly Father, not by wining challenges in a debate club.

Veteran, you are concluding that I link the two hundred thousand thousand to the Ezekiel prophecy and I most certainly do not. You cannot tie them together because YOU want to then say I claim that.
I do NOT claim you make any such link; instead you've declared you are against association of the battle of Armageddon with the Ezekiel 38 & 39 Scripture. The problem is you're wrongly associating the events of Rev.9 with some literal war idea that's to occur during the tribulation time prior to Christ's return, a la Hal Lindsey. The event of Armageddon as some all-out nuclear war is what the Hal Lindsey and Pre-trib crowd are expecting, which is a trumped up idea they use in support of their false Pre-Trib Rapture theory, a scare tactic.
You said:
"Armageddon however is an attack to instill the Beasts Mark in the Jews that Satan can possess them. All the pre-Armagesson attacks Godd shows shy they occur... that is because they are individul attacks, and attacks that fail. There is but one reason for the campaign that is Arrmagesson... for Satan to gain control over the Jews."
That thinking is placing the event of Armageddon prior to the 7th Vial, when Rev.16 clearly reveals the Armageddon event is a one-time world-wide event to occur on the day of Christ's coming.
terry said:
And I have always stated I do NOT believe in any pre-trib rapture.
Maybe you ought to re-think what you've believed about the Armageddon event then, because what you said aligns you well with Hal Lindsey's view on it, and he is a writer for the Pre-trib Rapture school.
you wrote: " How is it that Armageddon is shown happening on the final 7th Vial when Christ returns (per Rev.16:15 forward), and NOT prior to His return? "
Exactly how does that pertain to destruction of what I wrote? You side-stepped the issue and the reasoning. I gave reasoning why these battles are different than the one at Armageddon you proved nothing in trying to re-link them to Armageddon. I told of the reasons for the attacks and why they each have their own personal agenda and why Armageddon has its own agenda and that they are different. You show no qualifier to alter that evidence.
I've side-stepped nothing brother. Even within that above paragraph you reveal confusion about the event of Armageddon per the Rev.16 chapter. You can claim it's different than what the Scripture states all day long, but it still won't make your personal view about there fit.
terry said:
When you claim the battles all happen at once, yet each have their own personal agenda you must be in error. One attacks due to the morals of Israel another wants a spoil and another wants the land... The one that wants the land... also wants the resourses..or the spoil. the one that wants the spoil... also must want the resourses... the one attacking due to morals...yet has no morals themselves, they too want the spoil...the resourses... so these would all be fighting themselves. UNLESS these battles take place at different times and not at Armageddon... Build a working model.. your model does not work. When one considers that these batles are not at the same time and are failures and that these failures is what gives the Beast the ability to unite them for a final battle... the battle of Armageddon.... then it works.
The Armageddon event,
a singular battle, happens at specific time on the day of Christ's coming, on the 7th Vial specifically per Rev.16.
Rev 16:16-17
16 And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
(KJV)
There's seveal Old Testament Scriptures which align with that event on the last day of this world, like Joel 3:11 forward, Zech.14:2-3, Ezekiel 39, Zephaniah 3:8, and they all point to the events of the 7th Vial and Rev.19:17-21, i.e. the events to occur on "the day of the Lord".
So you're not really arguing with me, you're arguing against many written Scriptures in God's Word about that singular event on the last day of this world. It is not many battles, it is one singular battle that Christ fights at His coming. That's why the Rev.16:16 verse says He will gather Satan's host together on that final day of this world.

You wrote: " Sounds like you're on the Pre-Trib Rapture theories, for they do believe Armageddon is an event set for the tribulation time before Christ's coming, even though that idea is against God's Word. "
Armageddon is the FINAL battle at the end of Tribulation, at the return of Jesus - when the Jews finally accept him as their Lord and Saviour. That is my stance and it will remain my stance. I am not sure how you feel differently.
That is the idea which Rev.16, Rev.19, and Ezekiel 38 & 39 reveals. But it's not really what you've said before. Check your previous statements.

The journalist Jerome Corsi through the Freedom of Information Act got information released about the proposed Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which is the masked name for an American Union like the EU. He revealed whole government departments assigned to work the plan behind the scenes with workers involved that the American people had no clue about, nor were they elected by any Constitutional authority. Just by Corsi getting that info out some in Congress and Senate became more informed, for a lot of them didn't even know about it. This is how secret certain peoples in government today are doing things behind our backs. And it's almost like they dare the American people to do something about it. "
Vet, I never heard anything about that.
Maybe i should get my amateur radio license back again. I am certain if not now later all phones will be screened, porbably through computers and so the only real way to spread intel would be through cb radio and ham radio. This was the reason I got a ham license way back in 1993. See Moses went to the mountain top (i know) and I would go there to, but to put up an antenna array....
I can viably see that radio could still be the most effective form of communications during the coming events.
Jerome Corsi is a journalist, a good one, and he revealed a lot of that on the Worldnetdaily news website.
