Yep! She began with Constantine and throughout history controlled kings and their armies through the threat of excommunication, all the way up to 1798. She wants that power back and will obtain it through riding that beast, i.e. using him to reestablish her power.

Hi Luigi! While it is true that mountains are used symbolically to represent governments/kingdoms, in this case the seven heads of the dragon represent seven literal hills. We know this because the angel tells John "The woman you saw is that great city that rules over the kings of the earth."...

Good day! There is really no way to know the human ruler that this angel/beast was empowering prior to his being thrown into the Abyss or at what time in history he was restricted there. All we can know, is that at the time that John was receiving that information from the angel, that he was...

The beast is not a man, but a fallen angel who is currently in the Abyss. The man of lawlessness/antichrist who is to come, is a man. When the beast comes up out of the Abyss, he will be the spiritual power behind the antichrist. The antichrist will be the one who establishes the seven year...

Hello pittsburghjoe, The mark of the beast, though it does have to with the RCC and it's pope, has nothing whatsoever to do with observing the Sabbath on Sunday. The Sabbath is under the law, which believers are not under. As you know, Jesus had John write letters to the seven churches with...

Greetings Kolistus, I posted this in a previous post, but I'll post it here again regarding the beast who: Once was = He was once in the world (most likely the power behind another earthly ruler) Now is not = Is currently not in the world, but is in the Abyss And yet will come = He will be...

Well, thank you for your honesty and understanding. Another interesting point that demonstrates that the time of prophecy for the two witnesses and their deaths and resurrection as being future and not in the past, can also be found right in the scripture: "Now when they have finished their...

I'm beginning to think that you are a troll, Blik! You are bring up issues that we we're not discussing. This has been a discussion of salvation by grace through faith vs. the keeping of the works of the law. Why would you infer that I don't believe that one has to repent when receiving Christ...

Well, the two olive trees and two lampstands are obviously symbolically representing the two men described in Revelation 11. I doubt very much that two olive trees or two lampstands can be killed and resurrected. They didn't try to destroy them, because this not a past event, but is yet future...

And here's the difference: If one committed adultery under the law, both parties were to be stoned. If someone stumbles and commits adultery under faith in Christ, the scripture says that "when we sin, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us of...

I don't know why you are saying that to me, I'm the one that has been telling you that. You will not find in any of my posts where I said that grace was given by keeping the law. In fact, I have been saying the exact opposite. I don't know why you and others always interpret, not being under...

Hi absolutely, Yes, the sheep and the goats are in Matt.25:31-46. They could possibly first be put into Hades and later into the lake of fire. But either way, that is where they will end up. No wicked will be allowed to enter into the millennial kingdom. They will all be killed. Then I saw...

I can tell you without a doubt that these two witnesses will be two literal men and do you know why? First of all because they are referred to as such and because they will be killed and resurrected, which would mean that they are human beings. For angels cannot be killed nor resurrected and...

That brings us back to the question: Are you saved by grace through faith, or are you putting yourself under the works of the law for salvatiion? I understand them very well, which is why I am contending for the truth. And I will not turn from following Christ, to trust in the works of the law...

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us." What does this...

So, you don't believe that God is able to make that happen? There is nothing in the context that would lead the believer anything but a literal interpretation. God could have given us bodies to live on Venus with to withstand the continues 900 degree temperatures and given us rocks for our...

I'm curious Absolutely. You seem to be knowledgeable regarding God's word, but can't understand why you continue to say that all of the great tribulation saints are killed, when there are scriptures which demonstrate the opposite :unsure:. For example, you say that all of those great...

Well, go ahead and try keeping the law then. And remember, you must keep the entire law perfectly. For if you break even one of them, you've broken all of it. Oh, wait you already have broken it! Ok, you're done! The person who trust in the works of the law is stumbling over the stumbling...

The two witnesses will be two literal men, who will be on the earth during the first 3 1/2 years of that seven year period. They will do just as scripture says, by shutting up the sky so that it doesn't rain during the time of their prophesying and to bring as plagues as many time as they want...

Greetings tribesman, The reference to 'fulfilling' the law, means to meet its righteous requirements, satisfying it completely. Once Jesus did that, it was legally fulfilled for all believers. It is akin to the word which says, "unless there is a shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for...
