Three scriptural reasons Barack Obama is the Beast

All thru scripture the bible says a generation is 40 years. It was 40 years after the crucifixion that the 'temple was destroyed.

Do you think Jesus was writing to people 2000 years in the future or to his followers in the first century? The7 churches were real.. or you could call them assembles r cngregation

I believe a generation is 70 years. I am 77 and my generation still exists.

Start with the prologue. Then John writes "your brother in tribulation".

Revelation 1 - NIV Bible - The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave...

I believe the word here is: duh! He was exiled to the Island of Patmos which was not a vacation spot at the time.

Matt 24:24- Amen I say to you, this generation shall NOT pass away until these things have been done.

Generation is understood to be 40 years in Jewish tradition. Jesus was in 3rd year of his ministry putting this at about 30AD- 40 years will put this at 70AD when Nero was persecuting Christians and the Romans destroy the temple in Jerusalem.

I have never heard anyone mention Schofield or his commentary but the Pastor does mention that he doesn't care for the translation. I believe it is adequate for most things.

Christians flee tribulatons all the time. My ancestors fled England going to Holland because of institutional church persecution. They fled Holland to the New World because they couldn't stand the liberal beliefs in Holland. Then they faced tribulation from the elements.
After that they were troubled by the Quakers (nonconformists) in their midst.

My ancestors fled England to Holland pretty early too.. War of the Roses.. Later they worked for the Dutch West Indies Company and settled in New Amsterdam before 1625 by way of Brazil. We may be distant cousins. They hated the English so that when it became New York they left for Bergen County and Virginia..

But that's not like the terrible 42 month tribulation ending in 70 AD.
