3021 | How then should we live? | Jude 1:21 | kalos | 5999 | ||
Quoting the verse below is my way of saying a hearty "AMEN!" to what you've written. Rev 19:10 (ASV 1901) And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Notice: THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS *IS* THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. |

3022 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | kalos | 1142 | ||
To answer your question, first I would like to point out: 1)The Bible is its own best interpreter. 2) The BEST COMMENTARY is a good translation. . . . Now to answer your question more specifically, my opinion (and you did ask a subjective question -- there could be no such thing as an objective answer to your question), my opinion is this: I don't know about the best verse by verse commentary on the book of Revelation. . . . However, the study Bible that provides the most extensive, thorough, Scripture-based, detailed commentary on every page of the Bible, including the Book of Revelation, is: The MacArthur Study Bible, by John MacArthur, author and general editor, published by Word Publishing, copyright 1997. . . . To me, this Study Bible is like a one-volume commentary that includes the text of the Bible on each page. Nothing wrong with that. It goes right along with the author's stated purpose in writing this work. . . . (MacArthur is in the process of writing single volume commentaries on books of the Bible. He may have already completed the one on Revelation.) . . . None of us would agree on every last explanatory note in any Study Bible or commentary. But bear in mind, this man, a pastor, has studied the Bible 30 hours a week for 30 years in the original languages. Check it out for yourself at your favorite Christian bookstore. If it's not for you, well, maybe another forum member will suggest one you will like. Thanks for your question. Hope you'll find my reply helpful. Hope you like this forum and will come back often. |

3023 | Are you kidding? | Revelation | kalos | 1150 | ||
If Elijah is indeed the Elijah of the OT come back to earth, then I guess he has earned the right to make such an absolute declaration as "No one has ever done it." ...However, being a mere mortal, I was constrained to include in my answer the phrase, "In my opinion." Bless us, Charis. Elijah hath come. I only hope I am ready for his advent. |

3024 | Entertaining? | Revelation | kalos | 1443 | ||
By entertaining I mean "providing entertainment." This is what Van Impe does -- he provides entertainment. His TV show is about selling and sensationalism. | ||||||
3025 | WHY DOSE IT HAVE TO BE MOSSES AND ELIJAH | Revelation | kalos | 1452 | ||
The two witnesses need not be people who lived in the past. Indeed it could be two whom God has raised up for the end time. But consider the following. . . . "While it is impossible to be dogmatic about the identity of these two witnesses, several observations suggest they MIGHT (emphasis is mine) be Moses and Elijah: . . . 1) like Moses, they strike the earth with plagues, and like Elijah, they have the power to keep it from raining; . . . 2) Jewish tradition expected both Moses (compare Deut 18:15-18) and Elijah (compare Mal 4:5,6) to return in the future (compare John 1:21); . . . 3) both Moses and Elijah were present at the Transfiguration, the preview of Christ's second coming; . . . 4) both Moses and Elijah used supernatural means to provoke repentance; . . . 5) Elijah was taken up alive into heaven, and God buried Moses' body where it would never be found; and . . . 6) the length of the drought the two witnesses bring (3 1/2 years; compare Rev 11:3) is the same as that brought by Elijah (James 5:17). (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) . . . I am not saying the two witnesses ARE Moses and Elijah. I'm saying that, based on the observations above, they MIGHT be Moses and Elijah. Beware of anyone who dogmatically asserts the identity of these two witnesses. |

3026 | STILL entertaining? | Revelation | kalos | 1485 | ||
Dear SSprin: Charis has answered the question re Van Impe better than I could. So in answer to your question, I will take the liberty of quoting him: . . . "Note: Dear SSprln, I couldn't help but jump in. I don't think that anyone is implying that the Doctor is not a man of God or inaccurate. But it is true that his books tilt toward sensationalism. He, like many modern ministers, uses emotions to get your attention. This is entertainment. One thing though, adding little titles after your name is not proof of godliness or truth. Paul probably had more 'credits' than that, and he 'counted all as loss.' Peter probably had none, but he knew Jesus. Frankly, I would count personal service to the saints in a local church as of more value in God's sight than a thousand doctorates or books or shows. Comments?" (quoted from Charis, 3-19-2001, 5:53PM) |

3029 | Mark of the Beast | Revelation | kalos | 1867 | ||
If I may I would like to respond to one part of your question. You asked, in part, "Could this be where the belief came from that there will be a time when God's heart is hardened?" . . . It would seem that the belief that there will be a time when God's heart is hardened came originally from Gen. 6:3, Genesis having been written some 1500 years before Revelation. . . . Gen 6:3 (ASV) "And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years." |

3030 | God's spirt | Revelation | kalos | 1924 | ||
I think you are 100 percent correct. I should have clarified my answer. What I meant, but didn't make clear, is that many people cite the reference in Genesis to prove that at some point in the life of an individual, God will stop dealing with that person for salvation. But, clearly, that is not the meaning of the verse in Genesis, when one reads the entire verse. I understand the verse in Gen. to mean exactly what you said it means. Thanks for rightly dividing the word of truth. | ||||||
3031 | GEt back up | Revelation | kalos | 2005 | ||
I cannot speak for inhzsvc, but I can and will speak for myself. FYI: . . . 1) Why do you put words in the mouth of inhzsvc? He does not use the phrase "once saved, always saved." . . . 2) The only people who ever say "once saved, always saved" are the people who don't believe in it, i.e. those who do believe in Eternal Insecurity. . . . 3) Hebrews 6:4-6 clearly teaches "once salvation is lost, it is always lost." "logically v. 4 implies that if salvation were to be lost, it would be impossible for that person to be born again, lose it, and then be born again again. This much is clear: whoever openly and consciously rejects Jesus Christ is unregenerate even if he seemed to have been saved ealier." Whether he had lost his salvation or never had it to begin with, "either way, the result is identical." (note at Heb. 6:4ff, NRSV Harper Study Bible) . . . 4) In the New Testament (KJV) the terms backslider and backsliding do not occur at all -- not even once. Therefore, I see no need to "account for backsliders." . . . 5) I do not base my faith and doctrine on songs. I base it on the Word of God only. Further, no song is infallible. Infallibility and inerrancy extend only to the Scriptures and only in the original manuscripts. . . . 6) Matt 24, verses 22, 24 and 31 all speak of "the elect." Therefore the elect actually do exist. The elect is not a myth manufactured by Mr. Calvin. . . . 7) Matt 24:24 implies that it is NOT possible to deceive the elect, a point to which inhzsvc refers in the first sentence of his answer. . . . Instead of witty comebacks, cliche phrases and quoting the lyrics of current songs, one might wish to try basing his replies on Scripture. |

3032 | What is 666? | Revelation | kalos | 10379 | ||
"When Antichrist is finally revealed, there will be some way to identify him with this basic number of a man, or his name may have the numerical equivalent of 666 . . . Because this text reveals very little about the meaning of 666, it is unwise to speculate beyond what is said" in the text. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 2011) --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

3033 | The Rapture in Revelation | Revelation | kalos | 13784 | ||
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." Revelation 4:1 NASB "Beginning with 4:1 the viewpoint of John is from heaven. As the word 'church' does not appear again in the Revelation until 22:16, the catching up of John from earth to heaven has been taken to be a symbolic representation of the translation of the Church as occurring before the events of the tribulation described in chs. 6-19" (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). |

3034 | who is babylon rev 18 | Revelation | kalos | 16943 | ||
Babylon the Great. Babylon refers to the entire worldwide political, economic, and religious kingdom of Antichrist. Spiritual Babylon's true identity is yet to be revealed. Thus, the precise details of how it will be manifested in the world are not yet known. Babylon the Great (Rev. 18:2). This Babylon is distinct from the historical, geographical city of Babylon (which still existed in John's day). The details of John's vision cannot be applied to any historical city.

3035 | ___-trib satisfactory? | Revelation | kalos | 20438 | ||
The Book of Revelation "Eschatology. If we take into account the [book of Revelation's] intricate literary structure, and extract from its apocalyptic antitypes the information they yield about John's assumed scheme of strict eschatology, we can, with guidance from more systematic New Testament statements of eschatology, tease a simple pattern of events from Revelation. After an increase in natural calamities, there will be a short period when the antichrist will hold sway and trouble God's people; the term "antichrist, " however, does not occur in Revelation. Signs of God's wrath (trumpets; bowls) will precede the return of Christ to dispose of God's enemies, followed by a general resurrection and judgment , and the eternal kingdom of God and Christ. Most of these elements are found in sequence in the futuristic passage (20:7-21:8). "Other points, such as the length of the tribulation period, the time at which Christ will return relative to that period, and the nature of the millennial reign of the martyrs, are still debated in some schools of thought."

3039 | When was the Book Of Life written? | Revelation | kalos | 36165 | ||
Question: "When was the Book Of Life written?" Answer: "from (before) the foundation of the world". Rev. 13:8 (ESV) and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written *before the foundation of the world* in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain. (Emphasis added.) Rev. 17:8 (ESV) The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life *from the foundation of the world" will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. (Emphasis added.) Question: I cannot find any passage in the bible saying when anybody's name is ADDED to the Book Of Life. Answer: That is because the names have been written in the book of life *from the foundation of the world*. Question: Revelation 3:5 . . . says that "anybody's name can be erased from the Book Of Life". Answer: What Revelation 3:5 ACTUALLY SAYS is: Rev. 3:5 (ESV) The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will *never* blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. (Emphasis added.) It SAYS: "I will *never* blot his name out of the book of life." (Emphasis added.) It DOES NOT SAY that "anybody's name can be erased from the Book Of Life". |
