1321 | Who were the Nicolaitans? | Rev 2:6 | prayon | 9054 | ||
Good Question! Little is known about this group aside from the biblical references. They were a sect present in the churches of Ephesus and Pergamum. From the context of Rev 2:15, it would appear that they were people who abused Paul's doctrine of Christian liberty. It is believed that Jude 4 refers to them also. They appear to have attended the heathen rites and shared in the abominations there practised. Some say that they were followers of Nicolas of Antioch, one of the seven original elders, but if so, they falsely claimed that he taught such things so it is probable that it was some other Nicolas. It is possible that they were one in the same with the followers of Balaam (v. 14) because they both had a similar etymology "to conquer the people". prayon | ||||||
1322 | Opinions on Rev 2:8-11 | Rev 2:8 | prayon | 129741 | ||
Greetings, Smyrna is known as the persecuted church. The city was loyal to Rome and participated in emperor worship. In the letter the church at Smyrna recieved an accomendation. Verse 9 says "I know your works". They were works of the spirit resulting from faith and not works purely in the flesh. They showed faithfulness int he midst of tribulation and poverty. This letter and the one to Philidelphia were the only ones that had no rebuke in them. This letter was more of an encouragement to stand strong in their faith amidst the persecution they were facing and were going to face. There were given the promise of the crown of life and to not be hurt by the second death for staying strong. prayon |

1324 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | prayon | 24964 | ||
Greetings Shell! In contrast to what Nolan said I believe in the pre-trib rapture. I believe that the tribulation will begin when the believers are raptured. In the above verse it tells us that He "will keep us from the hour of testing". If the tribulation is 'the hour of testing' then we, according to Rev 3:10 will be kept from it. prayon | ||||||
1325 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | prayon | 24965 | ||
Greetings Nolan! My question to you is if Rev 3:10 states that He "will keep you from the hour of testing" how can we be here during the hour of testing? How can He keep you from it but put you through it at the same time? prayon | ||||||
1326 | At whose door is Christ knocking? | Rev 3:20 | prayon | 5447 | ||

1328 | What are the names of each seal? | Rev 5:1 | prayon | 173256 | ||

1329 | who are the 24 elders | Rev 5:8 | prayon | 173545 | ||
Greetings tamisks and welcome to the forum! the 24 elders represent all God's saved. Twenty is, proverbially, an indefinite number. prayon | ||||||
1330 | who are the 24 elders | Rev 5:8 | prayon | 173546 | ||
Tamisk, see also Rev 4:4 - There are 24 thrones around the "main" throne where 24 elders were sitting. These are the 24 mentioned in 5:8. (elders represent the church). prayon | ||||||
1331 | WHO ARE THE 4 CREATURES | Rev 5:8 | prayon | 173547 | ||
Greetings tamisk, these 4 living creatures are the same living creatures referred to in Ez 1:5. They are angels, most likely the cherubs mentioned in Ez 10:1-22. The number 4 may represent the 4 corners of the earth implying that God's angels execute His commands everywhere. The different faces represent different aspects of Christ. The lion equals strength (lion of Judah), the ox diligent service (Christ as the servant), the human intelligence (perfect human) and the eagle divinity (Christ as the Son of God). hope this helps, prayon | ||||||
1332 | SECOND CHANCE | Rev 7:1 | prayon | 1375 | ||
Yes, the Lord is merciful and people will have a second chance to be saved during the tribulation. 1Thes 4:16-17 says that the dead in Christ will rise first and then we that remain shall be caught up together with them to meet Christ in the air. So here it says that all believers will be gone. Yet in Revelation 13:7 it says that the beast will be allowed to make war on the saints. This has to refer to the saints who are on earth. Verse 17 talks of those who do not receive the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or see. Those who do not receive the mark are the "tribulation saints" Rev 19:9 states "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast. Those who were raised in the rapture are the Bride of Christ so we can't be the guests - it must be the tribulation saints. There will be no second chance AFTER death which is what 2Thes 2:10-13 is referring to. There is always a chance to be saved before physical death. Those who wait until after the rapture, if death does not claim them first, will have a chance at salvation but will have to endure the terrors of the tribulation talked about throughout the book of Revelations. |

1333 | SECOND CHANCE | Rev 7:1 | prayon | 1394 | ||
You are very true. There are 3 different viewpoints on the rapture and tribulation. 1)Pre-millenialism: This is the oldest of interpretation that says Christ will literally and bodily return to earth before the tribulation begins. At the end of the 1000 years he will turn the kingdom over to His father at which time God's eternal kingdom will begin. 2) A-millenialism: teaches that there will be no earthly kingdom and no 1000 year reign of Christ. Christ will take all believer out , condemn all non-believers and eternity will begin at that time. 3) Post-millenialism: teaches that there will be 1000 year kingdom but that Christ will claim his kingdom after the 1000 years have expired. Whether you believe that people will have a second chance depends on which viewpoint you base your answer. We will not know the truth until the "Ahhh-Sooo Day", Ahh-Soo thats what He meant! **** some material obtained from Hal Lindsey. |

Dear JVH0212, Thank you for the added information I am always interested in learning more. Prayon | ||||||
1335 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 7:9 | prayon | 2173 | ||
Revelation 7:9 says that we will recognize all family and loved ones in Heaven. Revelation 21:4 says that there will be no more mourning, crying or pain in Heaven. We also know that those who do not follow Jesus Christ will find their place in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur(Rev. 21:8). I am sure many of us have at least one loved one who if died right now will not be going to heaven. Considering these 3 verses; If we recognize our loved ones in Heaven will we recognize the fact that one is missing and if so how can we have pure joy when we know that one of our loved ones has been cast into the lake of fire? | ||||||
1336 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 7:9 | prayon | 2176 | ||
Dear JVH0212: I apologise, I should of given a better reference. In your question of Feb 27th you asked the question about recognizing loved ones in heaven. It was the general concensus that according to 1Cor. 15:51-53 that we will recognize our loved ones in heaven. Considering this to be accurate I again pose the same question. Thanks |

1337 | Moslems? | Rev 7:9 | prayon | 83201 | ||

1338 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | prayon | 53285 | ||
Greetiongs stokeyhk, The 1260 days equals out to 3 1/2 years. These days have not come yet. This will happen in the middle of the 7 years of tribulation and believed to happen in the 1st half of the tribulation but could happen in the 2nd half. There are other events predicted for this time period, trouble (Dan 12:7), the holy city is trampled (11.2), the woman takes refuge in the wilderness (12:6), and the devil inspired beast controls the earth (13.5). The two witnesses are believed to be Elijah, because Malachi prophesied (4:5-6) that he would return before the last judgement, and Moses. Neither Moses nor Elijahs ministry on earth were finished. Both were at the transfiguration of Christ (Matt 17:3). They represent the law (Moses) and the prohets (Elijah). These prophets cause havoc on earth, like Moses they strike the earth with plagues, and like Elijah they have the power to keep it from raining on earth. Both men used supernatural means to provoke repentence. Jewish tradition expects both of these men to return in the future. Both of these men, at the end of the 3 1/2 years will be murdered and will lie in the street 3 1/2 days and then will be raised from the dead. prayon |

1339 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | prayon | 53508 | ||
Greetings Tommy, First, John the Baptist came to prepare Jesus' way before Him "in the SPIRIT and POWER of Elijah" This does not mean that John the Baptist was Elijah returned. John the Baptist took Elijah's prophetic role, and like Elijah was known for bold uncompromising stand on the Word of God. Malachi (v. 4-5) prophesied that a prophet like Elijah would come. The witnesses will prophesy 1260 days, or 42 months, or 3 1/2 years. In addition the woman mentioned in Rev 12:6 will also be hidden in the wilderness 1260 days or 3 1/2 years; one half of the tribulation. Therefore the tribulation will last 7 years. The beginning of the tribulation will be when the Antichrist signs a peace treaty that will last 3 1/2 years or the first half of the tribulation. The two men refered to in Zechariah 4:13-14 are the two men who occupied the supreme positions of the kingly and priestly offices at the time of Zechariah, they are not the 2 witnesses refered to in Revelation. The two witnesses are not symbolic. They have been selected by God and given special power and authority to preach the message of judgement and salvation during the second half of the tribulation. Hope this answers some of the questions for you. Please let me know if you have more questions. prayon |

Greetings, Tribulation: a time of trouble. It is regarded as a distinct period of unprecedented suffering, catastrophe, and persecution that will occur immediately preceding the eschatological deliverance of God and the final coming of Christ. (Eerdmans Bible Dictionary) I want to do some more research on your questions to make sure I answer you with scriptual references so I will answer them later. I am curious though, where are you trying to go with this thread? What was your motive for starting it? prayon |
