Yeah, I agree! While the term 'beast' is used to refer to a kingdom, it also refers to that coming individual. How could you make an image of the beast as representing a nation and set it up in the holy place within the temple? Not only that, but Revelation 19:20 makes it clear that the first...

The following is what I understand: "One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast." "They (the heads) are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet...

No, the beast has not yet received his his deadly wound, as it will be a future event. The word mortal or deadly wound, means 'death stroke,' i.e. something that is not survivable, which is why the scripture states that when he survives it the inhabitants of the earth will be in awe of him. His...

Hey! If by "the coming of the Lord" you are referring to when He descends to the earth to end the age, then agree. However, I personally believe that believers in the church will be removed from the earth prior to the revealing of the antichrist, being gathered by the Lord prior to that event...

Hello Lorenalana, First of all, according to scripture there is no doubt that demons exist, also referred to as unclean or evil spirits. Prior to the creation of mankind, a third of the angels rebelled against God and followed Satan and in doing so sealed their fate in the lake of fire, which...

Greetings Evmur, Actually, the word 'departure' is a valid translation for 'apostasia,' however, it must retain the meaning of the Greek word that it is derived from. What they are trying to do, is take the the word departure and then change its meaning to mean depart up into the air to meet...

You are correct in that, the word 'harpadzo' is translated as 'caught up' which is defined as, to snatch up, to seize suddenly, force suddenly exercised, caught up.' This is the same word used when Jesus said, "no one is able to 'snatch them' out of My Father's hand and when Paul was 'caught up'...

I agree with MailmanDan! This mark of the beast technology could not just pop up over night, but had to evolve in preparation for that coming antichrist/beast and will continue to do so. Notice how the world is oblivious to the relevance of this technology. To them it is just the world evolving...

The scripture says "If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am. This is in keeping with the Jewish wedding process, where...

This is exactly correct, Kolistus! Many expositors have mistranslated Matt.24:31 as the gathering of the church/rapture. However, when the resurrection of the dead in Christ takes place and the living are changed and caught up, angels do not gather us. We will be raised in power, i.e. the new...

I did not say that Jesus was taking about His second coming, but was talking about the of the gathering of the church, which is a separate event and takes place prior to God's wrath. The promise that the Lord made to His disciples to come and get them is in reference to the resurrection and...

There is just no way you can use the word 'apostasia' translated as 'departure' to mean to fly up into the air, no matter how hard you try. Believe me, I wanted to know what this scripture as saying for myself. And so I studied it upside down, inside out and ever which way, until the Spirit...

Hi Runningman, John 14 is synonyms with I Thess.4:16-17 and I Cor.15:51-53, with the last two being a detailed accounts of John 14:1-3 The promise is that, Jesus said that "in His Father's house are many rooms' which is referring to His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the...

Hello CV5, you knew that I would show up regarding this claim. :cool: The word here is 'apostasia' translated as 'rebellion, apostasy, falling away, defection, revolt, departure (implying desertion), etc. The word 'apostasia' is derived from two words 'apo - away from' and 'histemi - stand,'...

The Spirit led me to the study of end-time events when I first believed and which I continue to study. When the first ATM's came out, I knew that it was relevant. Then came the Universal Product Code (UPC), followed by the Point of Sale system (POS), which is where you make a purchase and swipe...

Truthfully, I really doubt that the mark will be a vaccination. Reason being is that, if we stay with the clues in Revelation, then the mark will be localized in the hand or the forehead and will be used to allow people to buy and sell. Putting that into perspective for today, buying and selling...

Well, it certainly wouldn't be comforting if believers in Christ were to go through God's wrath first. I brought this up, because being gathered prior to God's wrath, during or after is the on-going controversy. One of the major errors for many, is not recognizing the difference between the...

Let not your hearts be troubled ..... "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." "Listen...
