4881 | Explain the mark in Rev 13 | Rev 13:15 | DocTrinsograce | 128478 | ||
I don't really have a lot to add to what many others will tell you. However, just to add a bit of balance. There is nothing that can be done in the flesh that will insure your acceptance of God any more than there is anything that can be done in the flesh that will insure your damnation. The body is flesh, the soul is spirit. Please don't freak out that you might have "accidently taken the mark of the beast." Most of the stuff about 666 is just superstitious palaver based on a couple of out of context verses. | ||||||
4882 | What does 666 mean? | Rev 13:18 | DocTrinsograce | 145576 | ||
Hi, Sparkle... Your seeing the number in a lots of places is just a trick of your brain's attempt at pattern recognition and simple coincidence. As to whether the number is metaphorical or otherwise, that will depend on who you talk to and their particular eschatological perspective. Above, however, is the verse in which the number appears.

4883 | Building a Christian library | Rev 13:18 | DocTrinsograce | 150029 | ||
Hi, Maude... Before you can build a good library, you should understand what is available, how to use it, with a focus on what you are intending to do. I would highly recommend "How to Read the Bible for all Its Worth" by Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart. They will give you direction to make additional decisions about other Biblcal tools. You will find that many of those tools are available on-line. It is truly amazing just how much is out there. Start with Fee and Stuart, though. You will be very glad that you did! In Him, Doc |

4884 | what is the meaning of the number 666? | Rev 13:18 | DocTrinsograce | 238095 | ||
Hi, byHisGrace... Dr. Kim Riddlebarger gives an interesting discussion of this question here: http://kimriddlebarger.squarespace.com/the-mark-of-the-beast/ In Him, Doc |

4885 | who will drink the cup with god? | Rev 14:10 | DocTrinsograce | 125402 | ||
Specificly (relative to this phrase), "those who worship the beast (see verse 9). In general, however, God pours out His wrath on: (1) the fallen angels and those who follow them (Rev 19:20), and (2) Christ Himself in His atonement (2 Cor 5:21) in our stead. | ||||||
4886 | why should we fear god | Rev 15:4 | DocTrinsograce | 235609 | ||
Dear Braiden, To just list a few things: Because God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), because He is judge (Psalm 98:9), because He is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11), because the standard by which He will judge is perfect holiness (Romans 2:16), because He will not excuse the guilty (Exodus 34:7), because our very best is like filthy rags before Him (Isaiah 64:6).

4888 | Who is the Sixth King of REV 17:10 | Rev 17:10 | DocTrinsograce | 190614 | ||
The Geneva Translation Notes (1599) read: "The beginning of these kings or emperors is almost the same as the beginning of the Church of Christ ... from the 25th year after the passion of Christ, at which time the temple and church of the Jews was overthrown. In this year it came to pass by the providence of God, that that saying 'The beast was, and is not' was fulfilled before the destruction of the Jews immediately following, came to pass. That was 809 years from the building of the city of Rome at which time John counted the emperors who had been, when he wrote these things, and foretells two others next to come: and with this purpose, that when this particular prediction of things to come should take effect, the truth of all other predictions in the Church, might be the more confirmed. God in ancient times mentioned this sign in the Law and Jeremiah confirmed it in (Deuteronomy 18:1-22; Jeremiah 28:8). "Whose names are these: the first, Servius Sulpitius Galba, who was the seventh emperor of the people of Rome, the second Marcus Salvius Otho, the third Avlus Vitellius, the fourth, Titus Flavius Vespasianus, the fifth, Titus Vespasianus his son, of his own name. "Flavius Domitian, son of the first Vespasian. For in the latter end of his days John wrote these things, as witnesses Irenaus; Lib. 5 adversus hareses. "Nerua, The empire being now translated from the family of Flavius. This man reigned only one year, four months and nine days, as the history writers tell. " Whereas the more contemporary Jamieson, Fausset and Brown assert: "...the first five of the seven are fallen (a word applicable not to forms of government passing away, but to the fall of once powerful empires: Egypt, Eze. 29:1-30:26; Assyria and Nineveh, Nah. 3:1-19; Babylon, Revelation 18:2; Jeremiah 50:1-51:64; Medo-Persia, Daniel 8:3-7, 8:20-22; 10:13; 11:2; Greece, Daniel 11:4). Rome was 'the one' existing in John's days. 'Kings' is the Scripture phrase for kingdoms, because these kingdoms are generally represented in character by some one prominent head, as Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, Medo-Persia by Cyrus, Greece by Alexander, etc. "[The other not yet come is] the Germanic-Slavonic empire beginning and continuing in its beast-like, that is, HEATHEN Antichristian character for only 'a short space.' The time when it is said of it, 'it is not' (Revelation 17:11), is the time during which it is 'wounded to death,' and has the 'deadly wound' (Revelation 13:3). The external Christianization of the migrating hordes from the North which descended on Rome, is the wound to the beast answering to the earth swallowing up the flood (heathen tribes) sent by the dragon, Satan, to drown the woman, the Church. The emphasis palpably is on 'a short space,' which therefore comes first in the Greek, not on 'he must continue,' as if his continuance for some [considerable] time were implied... The time of external Christianization (while the beast's wound continues) has lasted for centuries, ever since Constantine. Rome and the Greek Church have partially healed the wound by image worship." |

4889 | who is babylon in revelation 18? | Rev 18:2 | DocTrinsograce | 241437 | ||
Hi, ReaditBelieveit... The contemporary prophecy mongers tend to interpret it in many different ways. You might want to refer to a commentary that has stood the test of time: http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/revelation-18-2.html In Him, Doc |

4890 | Who is the Bride of the Lamb? | Rev 19:9 | DocTrinsograce | 239247 | ||
Hi, Searcher... Every metaphor tends to break down. The church is not a literal bride, Christians are not literal sheep or wheat, Christ is not a literal grapevine, His followers are literal branches, lost people are not literal goats or tares, the Holy Spirit is not a literal dove, etc. Extending the metaphors into something ontological rather than idiomatic will take you far away from their intended meanings. The same takes place when you attempt to interpret parables as something other than the single teaching they were intended to address. In Him, Doc |

4892 | Who did John see sitting on the thrones | Rev 20:4 | DocTrinsograce | 236827 | ||
Hi, Mason... "Besides the throne of God the Father, and the throne of glory, on which the Son of God sits, and the twelve thrones for the twelve apostles of the Lamb; there will be thrones set, or pitched, for all the saints, Daniel 7:9 who will sit on them, in the character of kings, and as conquerors, and shall sit quiet, and undisturbed, and be in perfect ease, and peace, for they that sit on them are the same persons hereafter described in this verse; for after the binding of Satan, an account is given of the happiness and glory of the saints during that time." --John Gill I believe the Dispensationalists interpret it in the same way (see post #30105).

4893 | first resurrection | Rev 20:6 | DocTrinsograce | 234737 | ||
Hi, lastchange... Welcome to the forum! Sometimes it is difficult for new forum members to figure out, but if you type the verse in the top left hand box that is labeled "Questions/Notes on Verse" you can see what others have written. Often the same question you have, others will have had. I think that this is an example of that sort of thing. Most evangelicals -- though not all -- see this as a reference to the Millennial Reign of Christ (see post #32546 by Tim Morant). In Him, Doc |

4900 | Does hell really exist and how can I be | Rev 20:14 | DocTrinsograce | 240436 | ||
Hi, Victor... Welcome to the forum! There are a number of heterodox groups that espouse doctrines like annihilationism, mortalism, soul sleep, temporal punishment, and the like. We could talk about how in every case they trivialize the Atonement. However, what is more specific to your question, the method of Scriptural interpretation of these false teachings is fundamentally flawed; i.e., an approach referred to as eisegesis. Biblical Christian orthodoxy, however, has always recognized that hell -- the place of eternal punishment of the damned -- is a doctrine clearly taught in Scripture. In fact, our Lord Jesus Himself spoke of hell more frequently than He spoke of heaven. Furthermore the Apostles confirmed the teaching. The rejection of this teaching should not surpise us. The human heart would prefer to imagine that divine judgment might be avoided. Jonathan Edwards asserted "Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it; he depends upon himself for his own security; he flatters himself in what he has done, in what he is now doing, or what he intends to do." Our Lord Jesus Christ stated, "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" John 10:26-27. In Him, Doc |
