201 | Please Help | Revelation | Michael Draves | 149074 | ||
Try reading Revelation as if it were a Greek drama. I saw it performed this way at SBTS in 1985 and think James Blevins proposed it as such. | ||||||
202 | Numerology of the book of Revelation. | Rev 1:12 | Michael Draves | 167249 | ||
I really don't think numerology is a good subject for a new Christian since a lot of time can be wasted reading symbolic meanings into texts that were never intended. As long as apocalyptic literature gives you hope rather than fear you are doing well. The gospels and the epistles might be a better place to be learning how to be a disciple. If you insist on studying numerology now here are two reputable starting points: bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi?number(equal sign goes here)T516 www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number(equal sign goes here)T4649 Substitute a equal sign where it says "(equal sign goes here)". |

203 | Description of jesus written in the BIBL | Rev 1:14 | Michael Draves | 103103 | ||
The Gospels accepted into the canon do not describe Jesus before the crucifiction other than maybe having a beard. Revelation 1 13 and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. |

204 | Where does Satan come from? | Rev 12:9 | Michael Draves | 102917 | ||
Passages about the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14 and the King of Type in Ezekiel 28 have been interpretted as the fall of Satan. In Job, Satan can be interpretted to be a prosecuting attorney. See also Luke 10:18 and Revelation 12:7-9. Mark 9 quotes the last verse of Isaiah as a description of Hell. The Parable of Lazarus and the Parable of the Feast seem related to a rabbinic parable about Bar Mayaan which has similarities to a much older Egyptian story of Setne and Si-Osire. |

205 | is "earth " symbol for Israel ? | Rev 13:11 | Michael Draves | 200092 | ||
eratz can be translated "earth" or "land". Based on context you have to decide if it is a reference to the "promised land". Exodus 32:13 KJV Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. Joshua 7:9 NASB "For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and they will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?" Isaiah 49:8 KJV Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; Isaiah 49:8 NASB Thus says the LORD, "In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages; Jer 22:29 KJV O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. Ezekiel 8:12 KJV Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Ezekiel 9:9 KJV Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. |

207 | Building a Christian library | Rev 13:18 | Michael Draves | 149936 | ||
Browse ChristianBook.com and request the CBD catalog. You probably will want an Exhaustive Stong's Concordance for searching for words but it is indexed on the KJV so you will need a KJV even if you prefer a different translation. There are some short definitions of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew words with the concordance. There are newer versions of the Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew lexicon and Thayer's Greek lexicon that help find the words by the strong number if you want more definitions to read. Or you could just do the look up in the interlinear search at studylight.org and click on the word you want the definitions of. An Oxford Bible Atlas might help give geographical perspective. You might ask your pastor to recommend a commentary. | ||||||

210 | 12 apostles? why? | Rev 21:14 | Michael Draves | 149567 | ||
12 is the number of the tribes of Israel. See Revelations 21:12-14. There were at least 72 (Luke 10:17) who might have been called disciples but after the death of Judas only two were chosen between as a replacement(Acts 1:23) because of all they witnessed. | ||||||
