2421 | weeping | Revelation | stjohn | 215289 | ||
Awesome! My thanks to Barnes, and to you, Jeff, for providing us with that answer. I had to read it twice, but that just made it twice as nice when I finally grasped it's depth; and I think you may be right, I have my doubts that a better answer could be had! When we earnestly contemplate the awesomeness of the events that were unfolding before John, it truly boggles the imagination! It is but a little book, but behind it's seals are truths that will effect all of God's creation from the beginning of time and into all eternity; and yet, there is no one in heaven or on earth who can open it. John was probably in his nineties, and had spent all of his adult life following the Lord and doing His will. And John being the last of the twelve, so privileged to have spent three plus years beholding the face of the Lord Himself in the flesh; and being taught by Him personally. One might indeed say that perhaps John had a greater faith then any other man that ever lived, save perhaps our Lord, the man Jesus Christ Himself. I believe John had been waiting for the Lords return, and you could say by reading his and other of the Apostles writings that, he fully expected the Lord to return at any time. John must have contemplated many times, his whole life long, what it would be like and what should happen when our Lord finally returned. And here it was before him, and yet, no one, but no one, could open the seals that revealed this truth. John |

Amen! How indeed... can words alone, describe the indescribable? Thanks again Jeff. I have all my short life long had trouble forming words around even the most mundane of thoughts. It has only been a few even shorter years sense I've been saved, and only with the help of the Holy Spirit that, I've been even mildly successful. :-) All Praise and glory to God! John |

2424 | devil stil active, destroyed by death | Revelation | stjohn | 230352 | ||
Hi mancub, and welcome, I'm not sure, but I think that the Bible does not record the devil or Satan's death anywhere that I can remember. Can you please show me or tell me where to find in scripture that Jesus kills satan? Like I said I'm not sure, but I don't recall reading that, though if you find it, I'd appreciate it, thanks.-John | ||||||

Hi Tamara, I'm not lookin, lol I think your confusion may be that you saw someone here say that they couldn't paste a url address, but that is because some of them have characters that this site will not allow, not that it's against the rules. That other site sounds like a real cacophony by the way! NO thanks, lol I think I'll stay right here! Shalom John |

Dear Sister, Tamara: Now I know full well, that I fall short and fail, more then most, if not all: but there are many here, (myself included) that strive and work very hard indeed, to keep this place, SBF, a place were we can come to study The Word of God, with the honor, dignity, and respect, that it deserves. And to extend that same said, Honor, dignity, and respect, to all those who come here to study His Holy Word. Tamara, I am not judging dear Sister, but by your, obvious repetition, of a word that your Sister, in, Christ Our Lord, may have found offensive, you have demonstrated that perhaps, that was an off handed apology. I am saddened by this, Tamara, and if I were you I would offer our dear Sister, Val, a little better then a tongue in cheek apology. Shalom and God bless John p.s. it was not that the word was slang, that was offensive, it was that the slang word that you used, was offensive. It had nothing at all to do with the definition of the word itself. sheesh.. |

2433 | Does Jesus say he is God Almighty here.. | Rev 1:8 | stjohn | 199828 | ||
Hi seedling, Yes, I think you are absolutely correct. As Jesus the carpenter may have said, You hit the nail right on the head! He is indeed very God of very God, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First, and the Last, He is indeed, God, The Almighty God! John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. God bless John |

2434 | no red letters in Revelation, why? | Rev 1:8 | stjohn | 215464 | ||
Hi tex, As you can see in the verse above, it does show Jesus' words in red. Perhaps the addition you are using doesn't? I would suppose it's up to the publisher which additions do and which don't. John |

2435 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | stjohn | 204538 | ||
R.C. In the verse above, and again below, John is told, explicitly by The Lord to: write in in a book what he sees: and nowhere in, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, is he given instructions to do otherwise! By not mentioning the events of 70 A.D. he is simply being obedient to the Lord. Shouldn't we do the same and not read into it, what is NOT there? Indeed there is a grave warning about this very thing contained in (Rev 22:18) that many expositors fail to head! Rev 1:11 saying, "Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea." It is very clear what John's instructions are! And remember: NONE of it is John's idea! Shalom John |

Dear Tam: In 167 B.C. Antiochus IV Epiphanes, attacked Jerusalem and put down the Maccabean Revolt. Consequently, He then took over the temple, and Josephus historian says, "that he (Antiochus) forbad the daily sacrifices to be offered, which were used to be offered to God, according to the law: and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate; either a garrison of Heathen soldiers in the temple, which drove the priests and people from it, and made it desolate; or rather an idol in it, it being usual in Scripture to call idols abominations, as they are to God and all good men; the image of Jupiter Olympius, as is thought, which was placed upon the altar of God by Antiochus, on the fifteenth day of the month Cisieu, in the hundred and forty fifth year of the Seleucidae, and is called the abomination of desolations, in the Apocrypha:" This appears to be an historical event, and there is little doubt that it actually accred, but there are those that espouse that though this has happened in history that it will happen again at the end of the time of trial, mid tribulation: Inferring that it is a double prophesy. Just some added info, don't know if you are aware of this or not, but thought you would find it interesting. God bless John |

R.C....Your post is very presumptuous. You have NO idea what my views on the timeframe Revelation are! Yet you accuse me of many things! What I do know though, from reading it, is that John is being given a vision, so he does NOT measure a literal temple: too, he was on the isle of Patmos, nowhere near Jerusalem, which coincides with the fact, that it was a vision. I know I know there is much more to it. Your theory may have some merit, but it leaks! That is just one example of your many erroneous assumptions, I also think you may have a convoluted view of history. If you were not so grounded in your presuppositions perhaps you would check further, and you might find that there were dispensational views being taught many centuries before the 19th century. I am not a dispensationalist, by the way. And I don't have a denomination, but if I had to chose, I'd have to say, I'm a Baptist. And you have a good day too, R.C.! By the way R.C. If you need the last word you may have it, but I have much better things to do then argue about eschatology. Gal 6:14 Just my two cents. Shalom and God bless John |

Tamara: The Lord has indeed blessed you with a very inquisitive mind! That a good thing, but do please be careful my dear friend. I don't like to see my Brethren slip! :-) Try this, think about that some believe that the prophesy in Daniel is not refering to revelation ay all but the fall of jerusalem in 70 A.D. as is much of what we read in Jesus' answer to his disciples Matthew is about. "As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Matt 24:3 Some say that this is a two part question, so all of what He revails to them is not about the same event, nor is it about the same timefraime. They ask "when will thease things happen" Well what things was he just talking about? He had just told them about the distruction of the temple, which happens in 70 A.D.. And then they ask: "and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And he tells them the answer to both questions, but its hard to ditermin where the break is. But I think it's there, I haven't studied that extensivley though. Shalom and God bless John |

Hear is an answer: you say it is bad writing to speak laterally and then and something spiritual, well my friend that is exactly what you are doing by saying that the destruction of israel and His second coming has both happened, because you say that the destruction was literal but His Coming was spiritual: That my friend is pious nonsense! | ||||||
