Subject: 18 Book of Revelation |
Bible Note: Well fist of all where does the bible say that there will every be a third temple and even if they were what would it matter, the church is Gods temple 1 Cor 3:16. surely you don't believe that God will oneday go back and dwell in temples made with hands do you? Acts:7:48 Well as for the new city jerusalem, what does this mean? surely you don't think that it is a real city do you? Did you know that we are already in the new jerusalem? Yes we sre look at Hebrews 12:22.Now it says that we are in the Heavenly Jerusalem, Rev 21:2 note this city is a spiritual city and it is the church and we are in it. You see everything in revelation is in signs, look at chapter one verse one and it will tell you that the things written in the book are signified which is to say sign-ified in sign. Like the beast it is not a real beast, or the dragon is not a real dragon and the city of jerusalem is not a real city but it is in a sign of the church, just like the devil is a sign of a dragon and the beast well let us let the Book tells us what this means. look at Rev.17:11 and you will find that the beast is not a real beast but a man a king the eighth king, now if you think real hard you will find out who he is??? And if we are living in the age of the seven churchs like you believe look at the last church if you would and tell me is Christ going to do like he says in Rev 3:16 spue or vomit his church out of his mouth I think not. The seven churches are not church ages but they were seven churches in john day that was about to go thourgh these thing, look at Rev.1:11 Christ has one church not many churches and also look at verse 4 John to the seven churches which are notice they were there, not will be some church age, but they were there and John was writing to them and he tells them this Blessed is he that readeth and keepeth the saying of this book verse 3 but how could you keep something that was not going to happen untill 2 or 3 thousand years later, you could not. And lastly Rev.22:10 seal not the saying of this book and why not? FOR TIME IS AT HAND the time for the book to come to pass and I think you believe that the man of sin will sit in the temple of God over there in Jerusalem one day because you talked about the third temple well if I have the space let us look at 2 Thessalonians 2:1-13 and see if Paul is talking about the temple in Jerusalem to be build some time in the future. Well first of all who is Paul writting to?? verse 1 of chapter 1 tells us, unto the Church of Thessalonians, now Paul told these people in that church in his day that the man of sin would sit in the temple of God and shew himself that he was God, now first things first what good would it had done to tell them of a future temple and a future man of sin if they were going to be dead 2 thousand years before it happend and he tells them that they n knew who he was, look at verse 6 and also if you would look at verse 7 and notice that Paul say he who now letteth or better hols back, now how could something be holding him back now if he was not already there?? And Paul knew that God's temple was the church and not one in Jerusalem 1 Cor. 3:16 makes this very plain. So you see Paul was not talking about a future temple in Jerusalem one day but he was talking about the Church GODS TEMPLE that this man of sin would sit in and show that he was God. Now thing about this and I'm sure you will find the answer. God Bless You and happy reading and studying Humpy |
