81 | How do I make sense of the context? | Acts 8:13 | David_24597 | 69887 | ||
Please include the texts you want me to consider in your next post. I'm having trouble going back to previous posts and looking things up here. Sorry | ||||||
82 | Who can Baptize you? Does it matter? | Rom 10:9 | David_24597 | 71801 | ||
Actually, to me, baptism is an outward showing to all that you have accepted your salvation. It doesn't matter to me what denomination someone is baptised in. I agree though that it should be by immersion, not a little sprinkle LOL. Also it is an adult decision, not something that a baby could consent to. | ||||||
83 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | David_24597 | 72721 | ||
Consider that the thief on the cross didn't have a chance to get baptised. Neither would babies and children. Yet if they die BEFORE they have the chance to, I would assume that they will be in heaven too. I guess baptism is for those that are able to, whenever possible. God is the judge not me. Just because someone who believes (if they are given the chance to believe) dies BEFORE they can be baptised does not mean they are not saved. |

84 | Must Christ have had a human nature? | Phil 2:7 | David_24597 | 72093 | ||
Of course Jesus was completely and totaly human. How else could His sacrifice have been of any benefit to the human race? Rom. 5:12 and 17 kinda hints at this. Jesus also didn't even have any knowledge of being our Creator when He was born. He had to "learn" Isa. 7:15-16 and Luke 2:40 and 52. (Don't get me wrong John chapter 1 shows that Jesus created all things. He is our Creator.) He also proved to all the universe that God's law CAN be kept. Satan had cast doubt on God's word and Jesus proved that God was right and Satan was wrong. Had Jesus ever commited even one sin His death could not have been for our sins but for His own sin and everyone would know that it was impossible to obey what God asks. Jesus did not just save humans. He saved all of God's creations from anarchy and satanic rule. Sorry, I can't think of any references for this right now. Just my humble opinion. But Heb. 1:2 and 11:3 mention the existence of other worlds besides our own. Surely they were affected by Satan's rebellion (though our own world is the only one that has fallen). | ||||||
85 | Before or after the return of Christ? | 1 Thess 4:16 | David_24597 | 72176 | ||
Prayon, where does the Bible teach a "seven year" tribulation? Rev. 18:8 coupled with Isa. 34:8 and 63:4 shows it only one year. Also what Bible references do you have for this "rapture"? You do know of course that I Thess. 4:16-18 shows that the saints are resurrected at the "last trump"? Wouldn't this be the "first resurrection" of Rev. 20 at the beginning of the 1,000 years? |

86 | Before or after the return of Christ? | 1 Thess 4:16 | David_24597 | 72180 | ||
Pemican, please show me some specific references for your post. Where does is say this "millenial reign" will take place on the earth? Don't the saved meet Jesus "in the air" when He comes? I Thess 4:16-18. The only reference I can find about Jesus actually touching the earth is in Zech. 14:4-13 where it also mentions the final destruction of the wicked. This would HAVE to happen at the "second" resurrection at the end of the 1,000 years Joel 3:9-16 with Rev. 20. Please supply references with your posts. Thx. | ||||||
87 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | David_24597 | 72510 | ||
The 144,000 are those that have accepted the seal of God and not the mark of the beast. The "great tribulation" (symbolzed here by the four winds) will not fall upon the earth until the 144,000 have been sealed (Rev. 7:1-4). Since Revelation is a book of symbols and a "Jew" is a symbol of a true christian (Rom. 2:28-29 and Gal. 3:7 and 28-29) then I would say that once the great tribulation starts that there will be only 144,000 "true christians" left alive on the earth. Read these other texts to help you understand Rev. chapter 7: Ps. 37:37-40; Ezek. chapter 9; Joel chapter 2; Isa. 8:16 (so Heb. 8:10-11); Eph. 1:13 and 4:30; II Tim. 2:19. Anyway, I hope this helps you some. |

88 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | David_24597 | 72541 | ||
What about a fourth: That there will only be 144,000 "true christians" alive during the tribulation? Aren't all numbers used literally, even if associated with a symbol? What about the FOUR beasts of Dan. 7? The TEN horns of Dan. 7; Rev. 12; 13; 17 and 18 ? What about the "70" weeks of Dan. 9 ? All these numbers are literal even though associated with a symbol. How do you know that there will be MORE than 144,000 of the saved left alive on the earth at this time? |

89 | who is this in Rev8:3-5what is he doing? | Rev 8:5 | David_24597 | 72371 | ||
The only being I know of that the Bible says is in the temple in heaven and that mediates between God and man is Jesus. Wouldn't this "Angel" of Rev. 8:3-5 be a symbol for Jesus? If so then verse 5 actually shows that He stops his work of mediation right before the seven trumpets sound. Does this mean that once the "great tribulation" starts (the seven last trumpets and the seven last plagues) that this is the time when God's Spirit is taken from the earth and God no longer offers a fallen mankind the chance for repentance? Rev. 22:11 and 12 shows this also, right before Jesus comes. Does anyone else have any ideas about Rev. 8:3-5? |

Thx disciplerami, but mainly I was concerned about verse 5 here what does it mean? | ||||||
91 | a list of the prophetic symbols | Rev 17:15 | David_24597 | 72533 | ||
This is a list of some of the symbols used in the prophecies of Dan. and Rev. that I have compiled. I've spent a long time (hours upon hours, days even years ("here a little and there a little")) going through the Bible to find the meanings of the symbols used in the prophecies. I'm not just talking about reading it once through either LOL. I've read the Bible (KJV) through several times (frontward, backward, upside down, inside out LOL) as well as following the "threads" of particualr subjects to find out these things. I would enjoy other peoples comments about this list: the sea – denotes peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues (the “then-known” world) – Rev. 17:15 the earth – a new world or land unknown in Bible times – Rev. 13:11 and 10:2 the four winds – Blowing winds represent destruction, plagues, wars, etc. – Isa. 40:7 and 24; Hosea 8:7; Matt. 7:27. Winds held back are great destructions held in check by divine intervention – Rev. 7:1-3 beasts – world dominating nations or kingdoms – Dan. 7:23 a beast rising out of the wind-blown sea – a nation or kingdom rising out of political strife and discord (wars between nations) to dominate the world – e.g. Dan. 7:2-3 and Rev. 13:1 a beast rising out of the earth – would be a new nation (previously unknown) rising out of a previously unknown land and dominating the world. – Rev. 13:11, 14 and 16 a king - symbol of the nation which he rules over - Dan. 2:37-39 and 7:17 and 23 horn – nation or kingdom – Dan. 7:24 and 8:3,8 and 20-22 wings - speed or swiftness – Deut. 28:29; Jer. 4:13 symbolic day – a year of real time – Num. 14:34; Ezek. 4:6. Also note the “seventy weeks” of Dan. 9:24 translates literally as “seventy weeks of years”. Given seven days per week one symbolic week would be seven years of real time – seven days per week (seventy weeks is 490 years: 7 x 70). see also Isa. 34:8, 61:2 and 63:4 symbolic month – 30 years of real time according to the Hebrew calendar of 30 days per month symbolic year – 360 years of real time according to the Hebrew calendar of 360 days per year time – one symbolic year – Dan. 7:25 and 12:7 time, times and the dividing of time or time, times and a half - would be three and a half symbolic years or 1260 symbolic days – 1260 years of real time, the half hour in Rev. 8:1 is approx. one week of real time (day for a year - ½ day (12 hours) equals ½ year (6 months) therefore 2 hours equals 1 month (4 weeks), 1 hour equals 2 weeks, ½ hour is therefore approx one week) the glorious holy mountain – in Dan. 11:45 is Jerusalem – Dan. 9:16 a Jew – spiritual Israel, a true Christian – Rom. 2:28; Gal. 3:7, 28 and 29 a pure woman – God’s people or church – Isa. 62:5; Matt. 25:1; John 3:29; II Cor. 11:2; Rev. 14:4 a wicked woman – a false church a woman riding upon a beast – Rev. 17:1-6 is therefore a false church using political powers to enforce its religious laws the host and stars of heaven - God’s people Dan. 8:10, 24 and 12:3 the Prince of the host – Jesus – Dan. 8:11 and 25, 10:21 and 12:1 grass – all living flesh – Isa. 40:6; James 1:10; I Peter 1:24 trees – mighty men of the earth – Judges 9:7-21; Ps. chapt. 1; Ezek. chapt. 17; Dan. 4:20-22; Matt. 3:10 and 12:33 the sword of the Spirit – the Word of God – Heb. 4:12; Eph. 6:17; II Thess. 2:8; Rev. 1:16, 2:16 and 19:15 the cup in God’s hand – symbol of His wrath – Isa. 51:21-23 and 54:8-9; Jer. 13:13, 25:15-38 and 51:6-11; Ezek. 23:31-35; Matt. 20:22-23 and 26:39 and 42; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 18:11; Rev. 14:10 the dregs thereof – would be the last of the cup poured out at the very end (and the most bitter) gold – faith – Job 23:10; Dan. 12:10; I Peter 1:7 gold tried in the fire – faith made perfect in the furnace of affliction – Isa. 48:10 white raiment – clothed in righteousness – Rev. 19:8 eyesalve (enabling one to see) – the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the discerning of good from evil Rev. 3:18 Anyway, Thx for your time.

I don't see how any of the instances in these verses you mentioned indicate what the sea is. Nor would these verses be changed in anyway by associating "people, nations, multitudes and tongues" to them. (Save for perhaps Rev. 4:6 the sea of glass - and Rev. 8:8-9; 14:7 and 16:3 which seem to be a literal sea, not symbolic) What else besides Rev. 17:15 describes what the "sea" represents? |

Rev. 16:3-5 I believe to be a literal account and not symbolic. The seas WILL, IN FACT, be turned to blood. As such the "seas" mentioned here are NOT symbolic. Show me any references to the "sea" where it IS used symbolically and explain to me why it CANNOT mean "peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues". Of course, consider if the meanings are changed if you DO think of the "seas" as "peoples...". Rev. 19:6 actually compares the voices of a multitude with the "great waters". How is it that you don't see the "peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues" here? As for: "When you study, forget all you have read what man has said ... and start afresh". That's exactly what I did. Didn't you read my first post? |

Again, save for John 4:10-15, this "water" they speak of is literal (NOT symbolic). John 4:10-15 is where Jesus talks about the "living water". It's not at all the same thing. Maybe I should be a little more specific. Show me where the "waters" and/or "seas" are used as symbols and do NOT mean "peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues". I've already shown you Rev. 17:15. Where else is this symbol of the seas and/or waters interpreted in the Bible? Again, I'm not talking about the "living" waters. These are the waters that the nations of the earth come up out of and the winds of strife blow upon. |

Again, how do you know that this is not literal. Rev. 21:18 shows the city of Jerusalem is like pure gold, like clear glass. John is desribing things he saw in heaven the best he could. Rev. 4:6 could in fact be pure, clear ice. How do you know it is not a literal account of what John saw in heaven? Boy, if it takes so many days, just to talk about the interpretaion of the first symbol in the list I made, how long will it take to talk about all of those symbols? I just don't have the time for all this. Sorry, guys, my time is not my own. I supplied some of the texts that interpret some of the symbols of Dan. and Rev. which took me quite a long time to complete. I just don't have the time to go over each one all over again and again and again. Ya'll read them and have fun. Either you agree with them or you don't. Either reject them or accept them. What other options do you have? |
