In my opening post I posted a video that believes the view you promote. It seems quite sound to me. Of course I remain open to other views and will continue to test things.

🙂

Let’s recap that view then,

Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medio Persia, Greece, Rome, Western Civilization.

Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medio Persia, Greece, Rome, Ottoman (Islamic Empire).

I guess we are in agreement that there were a succession of empires from Egypt to Rome.

t8,

What many seem not to understand is that even under the Law grace was the way to salvation but now there is greater than could be had under the law.

The Law (Scripture) exists to be “useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every g…

Okay, so there were 6 kings in succession from what I can glean from your view. How long is it before the 7th king? And why is the beast dead now?

Why are all the kingdoms in succession, but stopped now. Your view is that they stop between the 7th and 8th. But they are stopped now if you believe that Rome is the 6th.

Unless you can show me the…[Read more]

Again, that is absolutely not so. Since Jesus, Jerusalem and Zion are heavenly, (Hebrews 12, and Galatians 4, etc).

Revelation 21:2-4
1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,…[Read more]

Rev 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Rev 20:9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s peopl…

I have given three reasons so far, along with citing Scriptural references,
why “The Word” cannot be Jesus Christ – but is utterances pertaining to God.

Hi Ed J. Let’s try rewording your sentence by changing two parts.

Agreed kerwin.

No good comes from being obstinate or stubborn like a goat. It doesn’t help anyone.

Agreed kerwin. No good comes from being obstinate or stubborn like a goat. It doesn’t help in any way.

Agreed kerwin. Some people are just obstinate like goats. No good comes from being like that.

Salvation is a free gift of God lest any man should boast.

Yes, by the power of his spirit we can be led by the Spirit and overcome the flesh.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

But when we sin (and we will) we have a covenant with God.

We should be in a state of repentance though.

A sinner is someone who practices sin. We can…[Read more]

t8, I just can’t see what significance the nation of Israel has to do with anything today, (I constantly see the mention of Israel). They are a country like any other.  Jerusalem and Mount Zion are now heavenly? (Hebrews 12, and Galatians 4, etc).

When Jesus returns, he will rule from here. In the meantime,  rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers…[Read more]
