Brian, Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If you mean what are the names of the kings, my answer is I don't know and I'm not interested in knowing. Grace and peace, John |

7665 | Have you ever looked at Urantia Book? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 758 | ||
No, I have never looked at Urantia book. It is something that I was not aware of until you called it to my attention. Thank you for doing so. I looked it up under MSN Search and found 3,690 results containing 'Urantia'. Perhaps you could write a paragraph introducing the book to the members at this website. | ||||||

Just give us the who, what, where, when. Who wrote the book? Who endorses it? What is the book about in general? Where did the book have its origin? When did the book come into being? Also, if there are organized followers of the book, you may want to tell us something about them. I hope my answer is of some help to you. Again, thanks for sharing with us. | ||||||
7667 | Who are the 24 elders in this verse? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 800 | ||
Since the 24 elders are neither named nor identified, then we do not know their identity with any certainty. The 24 elders are "representative of either the whole company of believers in heaven or an exalted angelic order worshiping and serving God there . . . The number 24 is often understood to reflect the 12 Israelite tribes of the OT and the 12 apostles of the NT." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, p. 1854) | ||||||
7668 | Who are the 24 elders in this verse? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 814 | ||
Hi, Xapis. Yes, my answer is really from the Bible in the sense that I do not speculate on what the Bible does not say. It's enough of a challenge to understand what the Bible does say. (On the other hand, I do quote a note from a study Bible. So I guess you and I are both right.) You're also a blessing to me. Always look forward to reading your input. My sincere thanks to you! Yours is a good answer. | ||||||
7669 | Have you ever looked at Urantia Book? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 815 | ||
Charis, I agree with you completely on this subject. To the curious I would point out: The canon of the Bible is complete. It has been completed since before the end of the first century A.D. BEWARE of any alleged new revelation -- that which is not found in the complete and unchanging Word of God. There is not nor will there ever be a 67th book of the Bible. Neither the Book of Mormon, the writings of Russel or Rutherford (Jehovah's Witnesses), Mary Baker Eddy, nor the Brownsville revival constitute the 67th book of the Bible. . . . I too have "been there, done that." And I aint NEVER goin back. |

7670 | Who are the 24 elders in this verse? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 952 | ||
Yes, I understand what you mean by ppl who don't understand the difference between Bible text and footnotes. To such people I say: Remember, no explanatory footnotes in any study Bible are inspired; only the text of the Bible itself is inspired of God. . . . I'll bet you also know many who don't understand the difference between opinions and facts. For example, salvation by grace through faith plus nothing is not my personal opinion. It is a fact well documented in the Bible in plain English (Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3:28, etc.). |

7671 | Signs of Jesus coming back? | Rev 19:11 | kalos | 177717 | ||
The Sign Is The Son Of Man Himself 'In [Matthew 24] verse 30 Jesus answers the question the disciples asked Him previously, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age" (v. 3)? He gave them a list of general signs in verses 4 to 14…’ 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:3-14 English Standard Version NASB Matthew 24:30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. AMPLIFIED Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]. [Dan. 7:13; Rev. 1:7.] 'In [Matthew 24] verse 30 Jesus answers the question the disciples asked Him previously, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age" (v. 3)? He gave them a list of general signs in verses 4 to 14, but He still hadn't given them the sign. 'A. The Definition of the Sign '1. What it is not 'a) The sign of the cross 'Some early church fathers taught that the sign of which Christ spoke was a blazing cross that would fill the black heavens. This was the position of men such as Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Origen. 'b) The Shekinah alone 'Others have taught that the sign will be the Shekinah--the blazing light of God's glory. That's closer to the truth, but you can't have the Shekinah apart from the One it emanates from. '2. What it is' THE SIGN IS THE SON OF MAN HIMSELF 'Verse 30 defines what the sign will be: "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven." That is a subjective genitive in the Greek text, indicating that the sign is the Son of Man Himself. In the midst of the blackness will appear in blazing, unveiled glory the Son of Man.' ____________________ To read more go to: www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg2371.htm |

7673 | Why must the devil be released? | Rev 20:3 | kalos | 900 | ||
Revelation 20:7-10 (NIV) . . . "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." . . . Why will the devil be released? To "go out to deceive the nations", according to God's plan. . . .

7674 | Why must the devil be released? | Rev 20:3 | kalos | 79591 | ||
Why (for what purpose) must the devil be released? The Bible tells us why. Satan "will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth...to gather them for battle." Revelation 20:7-10 (NIV) "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Why will the devil be released? To "go out to deceive the nations", according to God's plan. What will be the devil's ultimate fate? See verse 10. |

7675 | Inhabitants of kingdom on earth | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 30105 | ||
The Inhabitants of the Millennial Kingdom Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Also I saw the souls of those who had been slain with axes [beheaded] for their witnessing to Jesus and [for preaching and testifying] for the Word of God, and who had refused to pay homage to the beast or his statue and had not accepted his mark or permitted it to be stamped on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years. [Dan. 7:9, 22, 27.] (Amplified Bible) 'We now come to a passage which deals with a portion of the inhabitants of this kingdom on earth. 'Looking at Scripture as a whole, the kingdom will be inhabited in the beginning by two categories of saints. First, there will be resurrected saints in glorified bodies like that of our Lord (Phil. 3:21). This will include Old Testament saints, church age saints (the bride of Christ), and Tribulation martyrs. Second, there will be those Tribulation saints who escaped death and were preserved through the Tribulation to go into the kingdom of our Lord (Matt. 24:13; 25:10, 30, 32-34; Rev. 14:1). These believers will have mortal bodies like ours today and during the course of the Millennium they will beget children. These children will also, regardless of the personal and glorious presence of Christ, need to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior by faith. This fact will provide the potential for a third category of people in the Millennium, unbelievers in mortal bodies, men and women susceptible to the deceptions of Satan. These will form the constituency for the last-time revolt under Satan’s final deception.' (www.bible.org/studies/nt/books/rev/jhk3/rev-30.htm ) |

But he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13 AMPLIFIED "The reference is not to the salvation of the soul of the believer who endures persecution, but to his deliverance by the Lord's return" (NSRB note at Matthew 24:13). In Matthew 24:4-31 the entire passage is Jesus' answer to the disciples' questions: "When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" (v.2). In subsequent verses Jesus is teaching about Daniel's seventieth week of years: the end time; the middle of Daniel's seventieth week: the abomination of desolation; the great tribulation (latter half of week); and the King's return to earth at the close of the tribulation. So in the context this interpretation of verse 13 is the more likely interpretation -- i.e., that the reference is to the believer's deliverance by the Lord's return. In addition, we are not saved by enduring to the end. We are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did on the cross -- not by anything that we do. No one is saved by holding on or holding out. When we are saved, it is because God Himself holds onto us. EdB: Thanks for your interest in this topic. Do you know of a clear verse of Scripture that teaches that there won't be anyone that didn't take the mark of the beast coming out of the Tribulation? I am open to additional information, if you have some. I'll be looking forward to your reply. Grace to you, kalos |

EdB: Greetings! Hope you are having a good weekend. No, I do not have the printed edition of the NET Bible. I am seriously thinking of getting one. I want it for the wealth of Translators' Notes it provides, notes which go beyond the Greek word and its barebones definition. Did you know the printed edition is 2300 pages long and packed with notes which, in turn, are packed with useful information? I, too, would like to hear from someone who actually has the printed edition to know what they think of it. You make a good point when you write regarding the article I quoted, "you have to remember it is written from a Dallas Theological perspective." Yes, and I do keep that in mind when I read their articles and studies. It may surprise you to know I do not agree with every last interpretation of endtimes teaching that Dallas Theological holds to. At least the people at the website have the integrity to let it be known that they agree with the theology of Dallas Theological Seminary. We always need to know what, if any, denominational or theological bias any given writer or teacher has. That's why I don't put too much stock in a website by some gung-ho preacher-teacher who doesn't list his affiliations. Your brother in the Lord, kalos |

7679 | Logic in timing in steps. | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 118216 | ||
If the question were "Does the church have to be raptured BEFORE the beast can be revealed", then the answer would be: No, it doesn't. Actually it is the other way around. That Day (the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him) will not come unless and until the man of sin is revealed first, the son of perdition (the beast, the antichrist). 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 :: New King James Version (NKJV) 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. |

7680 | view of millenium -vs- view of rapture? | Rev 20:4 | kalos | 171998 | ||
'Millennium 'Literally, this word means 1000 years. In the study of end time doctrines (eschatology) the millennium is the period of time of Christ's rulership. The debate has been over when the millennium will take place and what what form will it actually be. The terms that have arisen out of this debate are premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. Premillennialism teaches that the millennium is yet future and that upon Christ's return He will set up His earthly kingdom. Amillennialism teaches that the millennium is a figurative period and that Christ's rule began when He first became man. Postmillennialism teaches that through the preaching of the Word of God, the world will be converted and will then usher in Christ and the kingdom of God. There are good arguments for each position.' www.carm.org/dictionary/ dic_l-o.htm#_1_109 |
