    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    You might want to study history along side of the totality of the Law and the prophets. The "fourth kingdom" will be the Republic of Rome, which will devour the earth, and was undone by Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon, and turned Rome into a dictatorship, and Caesar was then declared...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    The "great whore" the name given by the reformers, is their reference to the Roman church, which would refer to a "daughter of Babylon", not Babylon, which is a reference to the gods of Babel, the home of Nimrod, whose god was Bel, the sun god, in line with the sun god of the Roman church and...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    Agreed. Yes, but not always, God's people. Exodus 34:14-16 The religion of Babylon? What do you mean by that, and what scripture do you use for saying that? How so? I don't understand what you said. "Sitting on the Beast does not make the harlot the beast it is a continuation of Satanic...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    I do believe that some Catholics here such as @metis would not agree with your assessment. Or perhaps the Pope might not agree either. You think? I do believe that Babylon the Great is the world-wide compendium of religious beliefs that are conflicting with one another and otherwise.

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    Dig deeper, its Mystery Babylon not literal Babylon and this is the mother of Harlots (Revelation 17:5) and the great whore that sits on many waters (Revelation 17:1). A whore or harlot in bible prophecy is a symbol of God's people being unfaithful to God and His Word (e.g. Jeremiah 3:1-3; 6:11...

    If the Bible was first discovered in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea...

    Jerusalem called by the derogatory names of "Sodom and Egypt" (Revelation 11:8) Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the...

    The Kingdom Come

    HarMeggido.. a mountain is the opposite of a valley. When Titus attacked Jerusalem there were soldiers from many nations with the Roman garrison.

    The Kingdom Come

    Gomer was a "wife of harlotry", not an "adulteress", who was "loved by her husband" (Hosea 3:1). The children of Gomer (Hosea 1:3) represented Lo-ruhamah, "for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel" (Hosea 1:2-9), and Lo-ammi, "for you are not my people", and "the sons of...

    Does the old testament contain good advice on how to maintain a marriage/relationship?

    Well, I know god looks favorably upon marrying one's half sister, Gen. 20: 12 12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. So if you're not married and have a half sister you may want to consider it. And don't...

    Jesus tells us "Being Gay is Okay" IMHO

    Maybe. Maybe not. It depends upon what they want and what they believe. No. That's pretty accurate. Fornication means forbidden sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman. The Hebrew word is zanah, Genesis 38:24, Exodus 34:16, Hosea 1:2, Leviticus 19:29. It can mean harlotry...

    Are Jews still God's Chosen People?

    I believe the idea of the Jews being a chosen people at least for a time may be based off of Exodus 19:5,6. "Now if you will strictly obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will certainly become my special property (or "treasured possession") out of all peoples, for the whole earth belongs to...

    Why does the Church pass over Passover?

    The Israel of Jewish scripture shows an Israel that went astray. The Israel as Jesus shows an Israel that did not go astray.

    Why does the Church pass over Passover?

    In Genesis 35:10 God called Jacob Israel. In Hosea 1:2 God called Israel an adulterous wife. In Jeremiah 3:6 God says Israel is a harlot. Do you think context and proper application of symbolism and/or literalism is important when reading and interpreting the scriptures?

    How to interpret Revelation 14?

    The friendship in revelation is the with the whore of Babylon (religion). How can you have 100 loyality to Christ if you are anti Christ? Being a virgin is a pre-requisite, for you are not defiled by the women (false religion)

    How to interpret Revelation 14?

    as a others have pointed out, the 'women' often refer to other religions or nations in the bible. Even in the hebrew scriptures, God speaks of his nation Israel as his wife. And when that nation made allegiances with other nations, the rebuke from God was one of a wife who was committing...

    Same woman?

    Hosea 1:2 and Hosea 3:1. Most commentators say that the first woman represents Israel and there appears to be enough evidence to support that concept. However for the second woman I believe this represents the Gentiles who are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus. However I believe for...

    The Myths of Christianity

    realy? You do not see it? Sad that. But ok, I do concede that the word prophecy is more than just future predictions.

    The Myths of Christianity

    The obvious: Isaiah 6; Jeremiah 1 (esp. through vs. 10); Ezekiel 2:1-4; Daniel 2:20-23; Hosea 1:2; Joel 1:1,2:28. These, I believe, make it quite clear that the prophet is meant to be God's mouthpiece. Cheerfully provided, although you certainly haven't provided any compelling Biblical...

    The fall of man; Free will

    You get what I'm saying .... somehow I think not because you don't appear to even get what you have said.   You said that the God of the Bible turns His back on His children because they sin against Him. I pointed to the parable of the 'prodigal son' which refutes your assertion...

    The fall of man; Free will

    the prodigal son....this fantastical tale says father knows best...but do they really? i get what you are saying...but there is nothing new to the reality that a parent will always keep the door open the god in your bible doesn't... "In short, scripturally, women are more likely to be...
