8222 | U.S.A. in Bible Prophesy? | Revelation | EdB | 18795 | ||
As I said there are many imaginary references. However even a casual reading of the above references will reveal more holes in the authors logic than is needed to sink their ships. I really enjoyed the last one where it is talking about sparsely populated areas and said US fit the picture. Remember the reference was written in 1955. Sparse by whose terms? A person in India? Yes! A person on Greenland? No! Surely we are not going to take a term like sparsely populated and say that defines the USA. |

Yes, the United States of America is not mentioned in the Bible. While God mentions many lands it is obvious that Jerusalem is His main interest. Therefore He writes about what directly effects Israel and apparently the US doesn’t. Many ask why? Two reasons I can think of is, one the US has been rendered unimportant, for anyone of a number of reasons, such as; natural disaster, man made disaster, economic collapse, war, internal war, or a return to isolationism. Two the US is included as one of the countries in the Antichrist’s confederation and has surrendered all power to the Antichrist and therefore has just become another pawn. To try to connect a biblical description to the US does a terrible injustice to the Bible since there is nothing that remotely points that direction. The first rule of exposition is context and all three of the websites you mentioned tear their proof text out of context and hence make it pretext. EdB |

First of all your talking replacement theology. If you don't think God still has his hand on Israel and Jerusalem what do you think is going on over there now? Can't you see how God has moved to preserve and protect that country? Can't you see how the Arab nations acts against Israel just as the Bible said they would. Can't you see the countries slowly withdrawing from Israel so that one day she will stand alone and be forced to cry out to God? I'm not sure how one gets convinced of re[placement theology but to me what is taking place before my eyes convinces me it isn't so. As far as the US being included in the unholy confederation, I said it could be one explanation of why we see no mention of her in the end time prophecy. As I said before there is no mention of the United States in the Bible either to support your theory nor mine. You on the other hand stated that it was mentioned. But fail to prove an sound proof other than some text taken out of context. |

8225 | Isn't the computer bad? | Revelation | EdB | 23282 | ||
Brianna Your right about the computer wrong about Jack Van Impe. this man sat on TV for over 6 months claiming the end of the world with Y2K. Nothing happened, yet he repeatedly said God had shown him. I also know for a fact many experts and and theologians went to Him and asked that he stop scaring people as a way to sell his material he refused. He was wrong and to me that makes me question everyhing he says. In fact in the Old Testament days I think they would have called him a false prophet. Now he claims the world will never end and that God revealed this to him 2 years ago. Yet 2 Pet 3:10 and 1 John 2:17 clearly say this world is passing away. Listen to him if you want but please don't say he knows what he is saying. |

Bianna Would you please give the bible verse that shows the mark of the beast is a computer chip. If you say jack Van Impe said it remember Jack Van Impe prophetized the end of the world at Y2K and is now saying God has shown him this world is eternal. You know them by their fruit and his fruit stinks. Also look up what God says about men that say "God said" and it doesn't come to pass, I think you find something about stones. |

Debbie Look what they are talking about a national ID card and an Iris scan. Using a Iris scan you don't have to implant anything (which costs money) and you can track people where ever they go. The computer can contain all the data. I expect to see this replace money and credit cards if they go with it. There will be no need for either to buy or sell. All you will do is enter the amount look into a scanner and your account will credited or debited the exact amount and no one can steal or use your card. However is this the mark of the beast? Absolutely not. The Bible says the mark will show those that worship the beast. I suspect it will be something simple like a tatoo and will probably start as a cultish fade thing to do to show honor to a great leader, but soon that leader will demand everyone to have the mark and worship him. Those without the mark won't be able to buy or sell because without the mark everyone will be afraid (at penalty of death) to deal with you and since all transactions will be done by computer with iris scans the government would know instantly. I don't believe the mark of the beast will have anything to do with commerce or computers or id. The mark will be an act of worship. EdB |

Casiv Your a treat! The numbering system is hexadecimal or base 16 not "hex". Casiv I don't know where you got my fear factor from but I assure you the only thing I fear is not representing God as I should. And that fear is not that God will get mad at me but rather that I might tarnished the name of Christianity (as so many have today). Rest easy my friend I live and breath and have my being in Christ Jesus and I in Him comes a peace that passes all understanding. Now about labeling you. Casiv I never intended nor attempted to label you. I merely said that you evaded direct questions and by that action I felt you lost some credibility with the forum and with me. As to the mark of the beast you said you had the answer, I respectfully requested you to tell me that answer, You provided “a” answer but when I mentioned what I saw to be a conflict between your answer and Bible and asked for you to resolve that conflict you got hostile. My question still stands if the mark of the beast is Ideology as you stated then how will it be taken and how will anyone know where you stand? I think the Bible clearly indicates it will be some form of physical mark. If you don’t see this fine help me understand what you see. There is no reason to get hostile. As for the number eleven that my friend was a spoof (an attempt at humor). I thought it to be very funny evidently you mistakenly took it as real. I’m sorry it was lost on you. :-) EdB |

Casiv I agree with the one world government, I agree that it will control what we buy and sell, I agree to be part of the system you will have to make an intentional decision to do so. However I disagree that Satan will not use something that everyone can see. Look around you gothic kids, and such put marks and wear symbols that proudly proclaim their allegiance to the dark side. Look at the witches and warlocks they too proudly display signs of Satan. Satan is no afraid of a little advertising in fact I think it plays right into his ego. No I think the mark of the beast is a visible physical mark that will be worn proudly by those deceived to believe the antichrist is the Christ. I think the mark will start out a s a fad, a thing the “in” crowd does but eventually the Antichrist will be so taken with the adoration he will demand everyone to exhibit his mark and pay homage to him. I believe the bible clearly shows the mark to be a visible mark, and I think once we come under the one world government you will not be able to buy or sell unless you carry the mark. I believe many of the things the things you do as far as how the one world government will come into being and what will motivate it. I don’t believe it in itself is an explanation of the mark. Now as far as you and being thick and etc. I don’t think your thick but I think your hiding something. You have been repeatedly asked by others on the forum, as to what group you belong, or what church do you attend. You have refused to answer. I happen to be Assemblies of God, others are Methodist, Brethren, Baptist, etc. What are you? I also see a relationship with Praisemaster that doesn’t seem correct, something is wrong there and I can’t put my hand on it. I do imagine others close to you have expressed the same concern. Maybe it is time to listen to them. EdB |

Dude4christ You absolutely right I was wrong but so are you. xxxx is called a half byte not a byte or a bit. xxxx xxxx is a byte. A half byte is made of up 4 binary positions (called bits)which cover the numbers from 0-15 a byte is 8 binary positions and covers 0 - 255. 0000 1111 is 0F or decimal 15 and 0001 0000 is 10 or decimal 16. 1111 1111 is FF or decimal 255 not hex 255. The point I was making is all computers use binary and they did before and after Y2K. While I use to work almost exclusively in machine language and hex, I haven’t done it for 10 years and I stand red faced that I made this basic of a mistake. EdB |

8231 | Good study guide for Revelation? | Revelation | EdB | 23862 | ||
comayagua Hi and welcome. I started to respond three times and quit, but I just couldn't walk away. While Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins have written profusely on the end times like their “Left Behind” series. One would be safer reading Dr. Stanley Horton, Dr David Jeremiah, John MacArthur than these two. I have read the book you mentioned and found it lacking in many ways. They make assumptions or state their opinion as fact instead of telling the reader the alternate readings or understandings of a particular passage. While they pass the work off as a “text” book it is merely one man’s (in this case two men :-)) opinion stated dogmatically. EdB |

Great site already have it in my favorite's list. If you strip the '/NTlang2.htm' you see the rest of what he has out there. I especially like his study on crucifixion. This must be the same Jewish friend you talked to way back when, when we were tied up in that discussion. EdB |

8233 | is rev speaking of america/pres.b sr,jr | Revelation | EdB | 35991 | ||
Zero First start thinking earth and stop thinking the America. We have a tendency to think the world revolves around the US but it doesn't. To the best of my knowledge America or the US is not mentioned in the Bible. George Bush Sr and Jr are not the antichrist neither are that smooth in public relations. The Anticrhist will seem like God's gift to man, but in fact he will be Satan's henchman in destruction. As Searcher56 has said this subject has been discussed and you may want to read what has been said before going on. Do some quick searches on Rev 13, Antichrist, beast, end times and you should find some very interesting threads you may want to add to. EdB |

Tonize Please reread what I said. I said the USA isn't mentioned in the Bible. To me that means the USA plays no significant part in the end times. I then offered two possible reasons; first it may have collapsed, possibly to due to economic disaster or internal or external war. The second reason is it may have been absorbed into confederation formed by the antichrist and isn't spoken about singularly. I never meant to imply my answer was finite or that I knew why USA wasn’t mentioned, I was merely speculating on possible reasons. However on fact does stand out the USA is not mentioned in the Bible and that is hard to imagine considering the important part we now play in world politics. That fact alone suggests something has to change. EdB |

Tonize Yes, you are right we are Israel's allies now, but we see that support wane as two things happen. First the Palestinian propaganda and their portrayal of being abused by Israel. Nowhere in history has a war been fought and land gained as was done in Israel, only to be called “occupied territory” for over 35 years. I guess we should calling Texas and etc occupied territory. Secondly our desire for oil. As Arabs tighten the hold on oil our resolve in Israel slips. Britain at one time was a strong supporter of Israel and a strong influence in the world, at that time it was said the sun never sets on the British empire. However in 1948 Britain betrayed Israel and since that time the empire has crumbled. I firmly believe if USA turns its back on Israel it will be the greatest mistake America can make, but I won’t be surprised should it happen. I also think that is why we are not mentioned in the Bible. EdB |

8238 | Is the milenium literal or figurative? | Revelation | EdB | 72163 | ||
Italian_Honey Hi and welcome to the forum. the questions you ask are good but require lengthy answers. These subjects have been discussed at great lengths on the fourm before. If you will do a search for Millenennium in the quick search box to the right I think you will find all the info you seek. If you have additional questions or comments you can post them in the thread addressing that subject. EdB |

8239 | what is the wound of the beast | Revelation | EdB | 86792 | ||
Interesting question!! Rev. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. Rev. 13:12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Rev. 13:14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. Verse 3and 14 simply say fatal wound. In verse 14 it says "wounded by the sword". Interesting since the Word of God is often referred to as a sword. The use of the word "the" almost infers it is the 'sword of the Word' rather than a literal sword. Almost like the 'Word' was used to prove him false but he overcame that. Interesting. EdB |

8240 | A New Reformation? | Revelation | EdB | 95796 | ||
Justme Well said! I expected that after 911 we would see a big influx into the church, but I was wrong. We as a nation, as a people have become so jaded that even 911 did not awaken us to danger on the horizon. At one point I viewed our churches as the Laodicean church neither hot nor cold, but I how fear we are so stone cold dead that many will not awaked even in the great tribulation but will become easy prey for the Anti-christ.
