John's Revelation. I would be happy to discuss this with folks that are not clear on this book. Tribulation? Resurrection? Seals? Trumpets? Etc.
What questions would you have?
[Plenty of views - no questions. Guess everyone gets the book. Good]
The authorship according to Bullinger is "by almost unanimous consent of the early church writers is ascribed to the close of the reign of the emperor Domitian, about AD 96. At the time of the so called "second general persecution" of the Christians.
To whom it was sent is unkown.
It was the last book written.
The books actual title is actually stated in the first verse… “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, that is, the unveiling, revealing, and presentation to earth AND heaven (the entities currently in heaven) of the Lord Jesus Christ (Messiah) as “king of Kings” and “lord of Lords”. It is spoken of as:
“The Word of God”,
“This prophecy”,
And “The testimony of Jesus Christ”.
Which shares to me, that perhaps the book of revelations is not your best subject but you appear well versed in religious beliefs as they are taught, rather than the words written(Can you be more specific)
perhaps because Jesus was not messiah as HE saidJesus will finish the prophecies which could not be filled by anyone at one time.
Did you read Rev 12? What did them 2 prophesize?When he returns there are several raisings of the dead. The first to be raised are the 2 witnesses we see in Rev 11.
the ‘great city’ will be destroyed as well Jesus is not coming back.The people raised up will be living here on earth in Jerusalem with Jesus himself.
I agree, just as no Messiah is magically appearing but as any human being; born by women upon the earth.Notice there is no mention of ANYONE being rescued out of tribulation by something called a “rapture”.
This revelation, as promised to all mankind, is what I posted. All feet shall bow. All will know Christ is king of kings. How many other evelations do we need to know? That the guy has a new name? So what?
What do you mean what is the knowledge that will make each with understanding? The knowledge is and has always been his Word. I still do not know where you are going with this question and this one misunderstanding has nothing to do with my knowledge of the book. It means I do not understand YOU. It IS my best subject.
Never said 'all' prophecies, just the ones of messiah. (knowledge of life, raising the dead, revealing the name)There is no man that can fulfill ALL prophecies at any one time.
It takes more than one time to do this. You act like you know about these prophecies but I question if you have really studied them and know what you are talking about. Let me show you what I am talking about
The folks of midtrash, trashed much of what people believe. For example, the babylon of the OT has been written to 'confuse' (read etymology of the word babylon)........... How is the Messiah going to lead Israel to greatness, while at the same time the Messiah is to be rejected by Israel?
What scipture are you referring too How is the Messiah going to be the ultimate conqueror, yet also be killed in weakness?
Now you talkin! How is the Messiah going to usher in world peace (by destroying the wicked), when Israel herself is wicked (incurably ill, and desperately wickedsaid Jeremiah)?
Anyone can sit on a donkey, and perhaps one day people will await messiah to fly into one town from another on an 'airplane'. How is the Messiah going to come on clouds and on a donkey at the same time?
Perhaps you are from David and your wife from Judah................. how many people you know on earth who have their bloodline from them days to now? How is Messiah going to come from the line of David (tribe of Judah) and from Levi at the same time?
The two contrasting descriptions/roles apply to the same messianic figure, but will be fulfilled in DIFFERENT times (or circumstances)
If you understand 'turn the other cheek'...then you understand holy spirit but don't know it.Also, the verses you are qutoing from John (The Comforter) are referencing the Holy Spirit. When he says this one will remain with you through the age he is referring to the gift of receiving the Holy Spirt. This gets complicated since many do not understand who or what the Holy Spirit actually is.
Funny comment as well 'less than'Chapter 11 and ch. 12 have nothing to do with each other.
that issy now existing (in palestine)..... will be returned to 'thickets'We can agree to disagree here, but scripture is clear on this. There will be what is called 1,000 years of peace finally in Jerusalem. This is how it is described
That is correct........ And He will teach from His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion the Law will go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
Good stuffIsa 2:4 And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.
Taos NM...... the untouched land behind the pueblo, within the 2 rings of mountains (shamballa)........... is held untouched by 'the keepers of the land'Mic 4:1 But it shall be in the end of the days, the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains; and it shall be lifted up from the hills; and peoples shall flow on it.
Thanks Bishadi. I understand where you are coming from.

8Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;
9with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for [it is] good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;
10we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,
11for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp.
12Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through [his] own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer;
13now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;
14for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek;

What are you saying this says? I did not understand why you posted this.
Listen Bishadi....your assumptions are DEAD WRONG. First of all I know no preachers, do not go to church, and your little condescending attitude really sucks. I was rasied a Jew and then one day I woke up to the dogma I had been living in all my life. I realized they were wrong. I see you have not woken up yet.
I am not a dogma kind of guy and that is why we are bumping heads.Second of all when I said I understand where you are coming from earlier it does not mean I agree with you AT ALL. It simply means that YOU are the one trying to explain to me a DOGMA based on YOUR religion's treacings. You are speaking to us here from a Talmudic ar Kabbalic dogma and that does not fly with me.
me only reading and addressing what i can actually experience and understand..... seems to me if you gonna hold a book and claim you have the answers, it is best to comprehend the book you are holdingThirdly you are trying to put into a figurative interpretation of scripture THAT IS DEFINITELY LITERAL.
there are temples all over the world............... Are you suggesting your messiah is different that the world populations' messiah?You are trying to be a poet when literalism is required. There is a church and temple of the Messiah that is spiritual.
However, there would not be 9 chapters in Ezekiel telling us how to build the 1,000 year millennial temple if it was of spirit only. After 1,000 years after the Messiah is on the earth the church DOES become spiritual. But when Messiah comes there is going to be a temple. See Zecchariah 6. You have not studied the prophets or you would know what I am talking about.
The thread is on the book of revelations and you can't get past the fact Jesus was not messiah, when the majority of rev is about the future; the coming of messiahNow, you accuse me of not answering your questions, BUT YOU HAVE NOT READ ONE WORD OF ANY POST I HAVE WRITTEN AND HAVE NOT ADDRESSED ONE ISSUE I HAVE WRITTEN. You look right over the top of my psots.
You have your head so far in the sand I don't think we can chat. And you obviously deny Jesus as the Messiah and that tells me you have not "GOTTEN IT".
Keep your snide condescending remarks away from me. You have no clue as to who I am and what I know about scriopture.
Sorry, quite the opposite, little i share is taught by others. Each item you read from me is what i have learned within the texts.And your DOGMA is from other men - not the scriptures.
If you want to continue this chat with me go read my posts and address them. Your interpreations are way off.
