Parenthetical Passages in Revelation 'When reading or studying [the book of] Revelation, people often assume that each section is chronological so that the next chapter or series of events naturally follows the preceding, but that is not the case. Rather, a number of sections in Revelation are parenthetical and the chronological order is halted in order to develop in more detail some aspect of this end-time period like a key person(s), or event(s), or condition(s). 'Some examples: '(1) Chapter 7 stops the chronological progress begun in chapter 6 and forms an interlude which gives us information about the 144,000 and about multitudes who will be saved during the Tribulation. The six seals are described in chapter 6, but the trumpet judgments don’t begin until chapter 8 which constitutes also the seventh seal. Six of these trumpet judgments occur chronologically and are described through chapter 9. The seventh trumpet is not sounded, however, until 11:15. '(2) So again the story of the progress of judgment on earth is halted and we have another parenthesis from 10:1-11:14. Here a vision is given concerning the little book, concerning the no delay once the seventh trumpet is sounded, and concerning the two witnesses. '(3) Revelation 11:15 picks up the chronological process again and the seventh trumpet is sounded. Other sections which are somewhat parenthetical regarding persons and systems are chapters 12, 13, and 17-18.' ____________________ www.bible.org/page |

Parenthetical Passages 'The parenthetical passages are: 'The Jewish remnant and the tribulation saints, 7:1-17. 'The angel, the little book, the two witnesses, 10:1-11:14. 'The Lamb, the Remnant, and the everlasting Gospel, 14:1-13. 'The gathering of the kings at Armageddon, 16:13-16. 'The four alleluias in heaven, 19:1-6. 'These passages do not advance the prophetic narrative. Looking backward and forward they sum up results accomplished, and speak of results yet to come as if they had already come. In Re14:1, for example, the Lamb and Remnant are seen prophetically on Mount Sion, though they are not actually there till Re20:4-6.' ____________________ Scofield, C.I.

'It can be difficult to develop a timeline of the Book of Revelation because Revelation is not entirely in chronological order. Revelation chapters 6, 8-9, 15-16, 19-20 are chronological, but chapters 7-14 seem to describe events dispersed in between the other chapters.' ____________________ www.allaboutpopularissues.org/revelation-timeline-faq.htm |

4084 | Why is Jesus named Seven Spirits, Lamps | Revelation | kalos | 168112 | ||
It MEANS what the words SAY. Instead of starting with an idea and looking for Scripture to prove it, read the Bible text for what it says. We know what the Bible MEANS by what it SAYS. And what Revelation says in these passages is: [] "He who HAS the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars." [] "THERE WERE" seven lamps of fire. [] 'He HAD seven horns and seven eyes.' Of course it REFERS to Jesus, but not "as the Seven Spirits of God, or Seven Lamp stands." Grace to you, Kalos |

Foy E. Wallace Jr., the Father of Modern Preterism? 'The Road Back to Preterism 'A Brief History of Eschatology and the Church 'By Kurt M. Simmons 'If there is a single individual that can be credited as the father of modern Preterism it is the Church of Christ preacher, evangelist, author and editor, Foy E. Wallace Jr. Wallace was a leading figure in the Churches of Christ coming out of the 1930s. A superb speaker, able debater, and writer, he quickly rose to national prominence in the Churches of Christ, holding numerous meetings across the U.S. each year. Wallace also served as editor of the Gospel Advocate (Nashville), a leading monthly publication within the Churches of Christ. In his role as editor, writer, and preacher, Wallace would help define the issues and establish the norms that would shape the church for the next fifty years. 'One of Wallace’s contributions toward the modern Preterist movement was his attack upon Dispensationalism (Premillennialism). Premillennialism threatened to enter the Churches of Christ in the early twentieth century through Robert H. Boll, a prominent preacher, who also served as editor of the Gospel Advocate. Boll became enamored with the Premillennialism of Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and began writing Premillennialist articles for the Gospel Advocate (circa 1910). Boll was forced to resign, but continued to teach and disseminate Premillennialist doctrine within the church, gaining a following. 'The Premillennial movement within the churches of Christ was destroyed primarily by Foy Wallace Jr. during his four year (1930-1934) tenure as editor of the Gospel Advocate and in two debates with Charles Neal. The first Wallace-Neal debate was held in Winchester, KY., Jan. 2-6, 1933, and was later published in book form. Neal affirmed "The Bible clearly teaches that after the second coming of Christ and before the final resurrection and judgment, there will be an age or dispensation of one thousand years during which Christ will reign on the earth." Wallace also started a publication entitled the Bible Banner to refute Premillennnial doctrine and would publish God’s Prophetic Word (1946, revised 1960), a volume of several hundred pages, which today remains one of the most thorough treatments exposing Premillennial errors. Central to Wallace's refutation of Premillennialism was proof of the restoration of the Davidic throne and kingdom in Christ beginning with his ascension. 'The other side of Wallace’s contribution to the modern Preterist movement was his commentary on Revelation, published in 1966. Wallace devoted forty-five pages to defending the early date for composition of Revelation, and demonstrated throughout that Revelation’s major theme was the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Although Wallace’s commentary was merely partial Preterist, seeing in Revelation twenty’s millennia imagery extending beyond the first century and into the indefinite future, it remains a favorite in Preterist circles today. 'Wallace’s efforts to establish the historical, first century context of Revelation and the fulfilled nature of the Davidic kingdom and throne in Christ’s church paved the way for later generations in the Church of Christ to arrive at the full Preterist position...'

4086 | Tell satan's job when he was in heave | Revelation | kalos | 188856 | ||
When did Satan fall from heaven? 'Answer: Satan’s fall from heaven is described in Isaiah 14:12-14 and Ezekiel 28:12-18. While these two passages are referring specifically to the king of Babylon and the King of Tyre, they also reference the spiritual power that was behind those kings - Satan. In regards to when Satan fell, these passages describe is why Satan fell, but they do not specifically say when the fall occurred. What we do know is this: the angels were created before the earth (Job 38:4-7). Satan fell before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden (Genesis 3:1-14). Satan’s fall, therefore, must have occurred somewhere after the time the angels were created and before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Whether Satan’s fall occurred a few minutes, hours, or days before he tempted Adam and Eve in the garden, Scripture does not specifically say. 'Why did Satan fall from Heaven? Satan fell because of pride. He desired to be God, not to be a servant of God. Notice the many "I will..." statements in Isaiah 14:12-15. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel. Satan was likely the highest of all angels, the most beautiful of all of God's creations. Satan was not content in his position. Instead, Satan desired to be God, to essentially "kick God off His throne" and take over the rule of the universe. Satan wanted to be God, and interestingly enough, that is what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-5). How did Satan fall from Heaven? Actually, a fall is not an accurate description. It would be far more accurate to say that God cast Satan out of Heaven (Isaiah 14:15; Ezekiel 28:16-17).' ---------------------------------------- Related Topics: Can Satan read our minds / know our thoughts? Why did Satan think he could defeat God? Was Satan in charge of music in Heaven? Who is Satan? Why doesn't God give Satan and the fallen angels a chance to repent? ____________________ www.gotquestions.org/Satan-fall.html |

Interpreting Revelation 'Revelation is one of the most mysterious books of the Bible. For centuries people have debated various aspects of the book--for example, the timing of the rapture of the church, the nature of the millennial reign of Christ, and the timing of Christ's return (before, in the middle of, or after the Great Tribulation). And debates have raged over the identity of the Beast, the number 666, and the Great Prostitute. Unfortunately, the debates have fueled such great controversy that Christians have been divided, and churches have even split over these issues. 'Every Christian who approaches this book must realize that if these questions have been debated over centuries, then God probably made them not clear on purpose. Churches and seminaries have made their interpretations of these debated issues part of their doctrinal statements. But they must understand that other Christians who disagree with their positions are doing only that--disagreeing. The positions regarding postmillennialism versus premillennialism do not make a difference as to whether one is a believer or not. The cardinal doctrine is whether a person believes that Christ, the Savior and King, will indeed one day return for his people and whether one has trusted in him as personal Savior. From there, the timing of Christ's return or when the church will be raptured are merely issues for discussion--not fundamental doctrines that affect a person's salvation.'

Heb 13:8 What it means (Repost of Note by DocTrinsograce (ID# 142141) Hi, M----... What K---- is complaining about is the out-of-context quote of Hebrew 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." In this passage it is talking about the faithfulness of God which assures us that our salvation is secure. History is the unfolding plan of God's redemptive plan of redemption. The imutability of God does not mean that He deals with man the same way as He always has. God no longer walks with man in the garden; He no longer manifests Himself through prophets; He no longer leads people with a pillar of fire by night; He no longer leads through judges; He no longer occupies the holy of holies; He no longer requires that women and gentiles stay at a distance from Him; He no longer stands in the temple, confounding the teachers of the law, as a 12 year old; He no longer teaches the multitudes on the mountains Palestine; He no longer speaks His truth through the mouths of apostles; etc. etc. etc. Yes, God reveals Himself to those that diligently seek Him (John 14:21, Heb 11:6). Yes, God instructs His own (1 Cor 2:13). etc. What many fail to realize is that God can and does limit Himself. He could, this very moment, speak audibly to me. He could take me into the third heaven and reveal mysteries to me. Instead, He has chosen to give us His complete, authoritative, all sufficent Word. Like my pastor once said, "To say that we need something more, is to denegrate the Word as insufficient or incomplete. To say that we need a magical visitation is to diminish the authority of the Word." K---- might state things more clearly than I have... and I may not have expressed his objections fully... but I believe I may have captured the gist of his complaint. I certainly agree with it -- with no rancor toward those who think differently -- only love for the Word and love for God's people. In Him, Doc |

4089 | The Red Writing | Rev 1:1 | kalos | 141871 | ||
Red letter editions since 1901 'Mr. William Emmett Shelton, author, of Mogadore, Ohio, and Mr. Laurence S. Heely, Jr., publisher of Christian Herald Magazine, say that the idea originated with Louis KIopsch, the first editor for the Christian Herald. The November 1901 issue of that monthly ran a large advertisement offering a red letter Bible to the readers.' 'The first printing of a red letter Bible numbered sixty thousand copies. They were printed on presses owned by Dr. KIopsch. The edition sold quickly. Presses were run day and night to supply the demand.' (http://www.angelfire.com/la/prophet1/redlettered.html) |

I can identify. I never saw a study Bible (or knew they existed) and was never inside a Bible bookstore until I was 13 years old (1958). I grew up in a town with a population of 100,000 and, as far as I know, there was only one Christian bookstore in the whole town back then. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hank: Isn't it amazing? On this Study BIBLE Forum, all one has to do is point out that "All Scripture is inspired by God", and the next thing you know, the forum is bombarded by posts rebuking, reproving and correcting the one who made this point. I give up! I really do! Moreover, here is another instance where the Scriptures in the original languages can allegedly be improved upon. According to the logic of some, the ancient texts are incomplete and flawed not only because they fail to capitalize pronouns, but also because they did not place the words of Christ in red. I have nothing against red letter Bibles. In fact, I personally prefer a red letter Bible. But does anyone ever consider this: that in the Hebrew and Greek texts we cannot always be certain where a quotation ends (since these texts do not contain quotation marks)? Therefore, the risk of error increases when one decides which words to print in red and which to print in black. Grace to you, Kalos |

The uninspired teachings of Paul? NASB 1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 7:12 To the rest I declare--I, not the Lord [for Jesus did not discuss this]--that if any brother has a wife who does not believe [in Christ] and she consents to live with him, he should not leave or divorce her. '(1 Cor. 7:12) In vv. 1-12 the contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching, as some have supposed. In vv. 10-11 Paul is repeating in substance something already taught by the Lord; but in v. 12 he is dealing with a situation not covered by our Lord's teaching. Instead of disclaiming inspiration for what he writes in v. 12, the apostle is actually claiming for his own words here the same authority as for the words of Christ Himself" (note at 1 Cor 7:12, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). * * * * * * * * * * * * "Now that was Paul’s estimate of the situation. God didn’t tell him that..." --Frederick Price ____________________ 'Another case in point is that God allowed affliction to come upon Paul, not answering his prayer for deliverance, so that Paul would not become too high minded as a result of the visions and revelations he had (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). [Frederick] Price’s response to this passage, which is typical of the [Word of Faith] movement, is: “Now that was Paul’s estimate of the situation. God didn’t tell him that He gave him that to keep him humble, but Paul was a man who was prone to brag and boast. Therefore he took it upon himself to believe all of this that was coming upon him was going to help him to stay humble.”[3] 'In this statement we find a disturbing lack of concern for the authority of the inspired authors of Scripture. There is nothing within the context of this passage to qualify this statement of Paul’s as being merely his own, possibly errant, opinion. Paul makes the statement with the full authority that, by virtue of inspiration, was rightfully his. If by our human rationalizing that Paul was one prone to boast (which finds no basis in Scripture), we have the freedom to dismiss his declaration in [2 Corinthians] verse 7 as being misguided, then we may also dismiss anything else he said that does not fit into our doctrinal scheme. Once this happens, our basis of trust in the Scripture becomes effectively undermined. However, we find that Paul derived this estimate of the situation from the Lord’s answer to his prayers: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness” (verse 9)' (http://www.equip.org/free/DH018.htm). |

"Nothing else comes close"? Four hundred and thirty (430) verses in the OT of the KJV contain the phrase: "Thus saith the Lord" But "nothing else comes close"? Believe it or not, that which was spoken by the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is every bit as inspired and powerful as what was spoken by Jesus. |

4094 | Idealist View of Revelation | Rev 1:1 | kalos | 147168 | ||
Idealist View of Revelation Does anyone hold to the idealist view? If he does, then he believes that Revelation is not a book of prophecy. If he does, then he believes that Revelation contains no literal events or prophecy. It is merely a collection of stories. 'The idealist approach interprets Revelation as a timeless depiction of the cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil. In this view, the book contains neither historical allusions nor predictive prophecy. This view also ignores Revelation's prophetic character and, if carried to its logical conclusion, severs the book from any connection with actual historical events. Revelation then becomes merely a collection of stories designed to teach spiritual truth.' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) Four Basic Views 'There are four basic approaches to interpreting Revelation: 'Preterist - Those who subscribe to this view believe that the events in Revelation took place in the first-century Roman empire. 'Idealist - This view holds that Revelation is full of a cosmic struggle between good and evil. It is a book that contains stories of spiritual truth, but no literal events or prophecy. There is no connection to historical events. 'Historicist - Events are seen generally from history rather than as specific events. There are no time limitations placed on the book. 'Futuristic - This view insists that Revelation chapter 6 to 22 refer to future events. Regarding this view, John MacArthur says, "Only this view does justice to Revelation's claim to be prophecy and interprets the entire book by the consistent grammatical-historical method used for the rest of Scripture."'

Norm: Far be it from me to deny that Christ through death destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. But where do you find the word KEYS in Hebrews 2:14? Where in Hebrews 2:14 does it say that Christ TOOK BACK any KEYS or that Satan had POSSESSION of keys? Shalom, kalos |

NASB Revelation 1:18 "and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." Even in Revelation 1:18 where the word keys ("the keys of death and of Hades") is used, it does not say that Christ WENT TO HELL or that he TOOK BACK KEYS or that he took back anything from SATAN or that Satan at any time HAD CUSTODY of any keys. My question remains: Where do you find the word KEYS in Hebrews 2:14? Where in Hebrews 2:14 does it SAY that Christ took back any keys or that Satan had possession of keys? |

No hyper-individualistic understanding You write: "The Holy Spirit has told me that Paul was referring to hell." Then you write: "we have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He tells us things..." I agree that "WE have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He tells US things..." But we do not have to listen to you or me or anyone else who says, "The Holy Spirit has told me..." To say that the Holy Spirit told me this or that does not prove anything. "As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him." (NASB) 1 John 2:27 '"You have no need for anyone to teach you." Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole; there is no ground here for a hyper-individualistic understanding of the Gospel wherein the views of other believers and the gathering of believers together are considered unimportant' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). Grace to you, Kalos |

4099 | The Structure of the Revelation | Rev 1:19 | kalos | 150655 | ||
The Structure of the Revelation 'Scholars are generally agreed that Revelation 1:19 offers a temporal outline of the book of Revelation. John indicates that he received instructions from the Lord to "Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall take place after these things." This framework offers the following structural depiction of the book. 'The first chapter of Revelation is "the things you have seen." Revelation two and three cover "the things which are"; and Revelation four through twenty-one are "the things which shall take place after these things." 'The disproportionate attention given to the "things which shall take place after these things (Revelation 4-21)," suggests that the temporal outline of the book is not the key to its structure. This is particularly true given that the seven churches receive promises that are both first century and futuristic in nature. In other words, there is an overlap of "the things which are" and "things which shall take place after these things." This undermines any attempt to force a strict interpretation of Revelation 1:19 as the dogmatic outline of the book of Revelation.' ____________________ www.revelationcommentary.org/structure.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * revelationcommentary.org www.solagroup.org In addition to commentary on the entire book of Revelation, this site includes a glossary of terms related to the biblical end times, plus answers to common questions about the false prophet and second coming. |
