I should add that when these writers talk of theos, they are not always addressing theos in person, but sometimes nature. In English it is hard to see this difference. In Greek for example, the definite article is there whereas we capitalise the first letter. For example, Adam or adam.

But God and god doesn’t really work in English because we…[Read more]

Hey guys! and everyone else I didn’t mention,

Irenaeus wrote around AD 185 and mentions John 1:1 five times.
In one reference he comments, “‘and the Word was God,’ of course, for that which is begotten of God is God.”
Irenaeus understood Jesus as more than “a god” or a divine being of a sort.
He referred to Jesus as God.
Let me repeat wha…

Proclaim, The world will be amazed that the beast will reappear,  (except the faithful)

And I saw one of his heads as it were WOUNDED TO DEATH; and his deadly wound was HEALED: and ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST. (Rev.13: 3)

Do you think Islam will bring about such a comeback?
I do not believe it, on the other hand, the Papacy is on all…

Let’s take a look at all seven gentile kingdoms that ruled the biblical world in succession. Note: this is history (not opinion) and it happens to perfectly match the revelation given to John. The seven are:

Egypt – 3100 to 677 BC (Genesis 12:10)
Assyria – 677 to 626 BC (Genesis 2:14)
Babylon – 626 – 539 BC (Daniel 1:1)

Hi Gene,

YOU: But to us true believers like Jesus and myself, and those that are true, we “ONLY” HAVE “ONE” GOD that is a True God to us, and there is no other GOD TO US.
YOU: But to us true believers like Jesus….
ME. Gene, TO YOU JESUS IS 
A MERE BELIEVER?
YOU: and myself,….
ME: Gene, SO YOU COMPARED YOURSELF WITH JESUS! NO?
YOU: and thos…[Read more]

Hi Mike.

YOU: If Rev 3:14 says Jesus is the “first cause” of God’s creation, it means that God isn’t the first cause of His own creation… which is absurd.  It becomes even more absurd to think that Jesus would call himself “the creator of the creation by God”.  Think about it… “I am the creator of God’s creation!”  Laughable.

Of…[Read more]

Gadam,

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

This does not mean that there will be no sea in the new world where justice will dwell, that God will create after the thousand years (HEAVEN judgment of the lost)

Hi To all
The Moral Purpose of Prophecy

THE STORY REPEATS ITSELF
Today, in a similar fashion, several thousand professional Christians study the prophecies and apply them wrongly in the same way that the Jews did: their interpretation of the prophecies is consistent with that of the Jews who rejected Christ and it is in fact opposed to the clear…[Read more]

To All…….Sea is the symbol for “humanity”  when it talks about these beasts rising up from the sea, it simply means kingdoms that rise up from humanity.

Where it says there will be no more sea, I believe that means no more humans being born any more. From that time onward.

Hi brother Gene, you are going into too much allegory. At least please l…[Read more]

Only if your view is that the head of god had nothing to do with Babylon at all and was simply about Nebuchadnezzar only. I would understand your view but still wouldn’t agree with it.

So is this how you view it. That the golden head of the statue had nothing to do with Babylon the empire?

Sorry you are still in the dilemma of equating Danielic v…[Read more]

Gene, “proven to knock out covid 19”? If anything it is making covid WORSE, particularly the Delta variant. Israel was a test country with Pfizer, one of the highest rates of vaccination in the world, and just look at what is happening there. More vaccinated are dyeing of Covid than th…[Read more]

The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

The Beast of Revelation represents seven empires that ruled in succession in the area around the Great Sea, the Mediterranean. These seven empires are a historical…[Read more]

The King of Babylon was the head of gold. How many other kings were there in Babylon? Look it up on Wikipedia. Are you saying that the golden head of the statue had nothing to do with Babylon?

That is the reason why I stated that Danielic visions are different from those of Revelation. You are confusing Danielic Kingdoms with Revelation’s Kings.…[Read more]

If you really feel the need to choose one king per kingdom, then that doesn’t change how many kingdoms there are.

If Nebuchadnezzar is the head of gold and he ruled Babylon as did many other kings, then do the same for the other empires. That still leaves seven empires. Unless you want to take the view that the other metals in the statue are 6…[Read more]
