Gift-giving when two witnesses die- HINDU ritual!

[HisdaughterJen]

Rev 11:10The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

Hindu's have a festival in which gifts are exchanged and clay pots are lit to celebrate a victory of good over evil.

"Diwali gifts are exchanged among all near and dear ones"
"Diwali Meaning & Significance


Deepavali is a festival where people from all age groups participate. They give expression to their happiness by lighting earthen 'diyas' (lamps), decorating the houses, bursting firecrackers and inviting near and dear ones to their households for partaking in a sumptuous feast. The lighting of lamps is a way of paying obeisance to god for attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace, valor and fame.

It is one time in the whole year that children volunteer to leave their beds long before the day begins. In fact, the traditional oil bath at 3 a.m, is the only chore that stands between them and the pre-dawn adventures. They emerge, scrubbed clean to get into their festive attire, and light up little oil lamps, candles and scented sticks(agarbathis), the wherewithal for setting alight crackers and sparklers.

On Diwali night, little clay lamps are lit in Hindus homes, but now a days colored electric lamps are also used. What is the significance of lighting a lamp? There is a logical answer to this question. It is through the light that the beauty of this world is revealed or experienced. Most civilizations of the world recognize the importance of light as a gift of God. It has always been a symbol of whatever is positive in our world of experience.

To Hindus, darkness represents ignorance, and light is a metaphor for knowledge. Therefore, lighting a lamp symbolizes the destruction, through knowledge, of all negative forces- wickedness, violence, lust, anger, envy, greed, bigotry, fear, injustice, oppression and suffering, etc. "

So what does that imply concerning Reve 11:10? Those are Hindus?

 

[HisdaughterJen]

I believe it implies that the dominate religion will be Hinduism, the religion of the anti-christ will be Hinduism.

Hinduism is a way of believing and has many gods. They don't consider themselves a religion or proselytize. They just ARE. It is occultic in nature and full of symbols.

The NAZI (National Socialist Workers Party) symbol was a Hindu symbol.

Swastika - Hindu Symbols - ReligionFacts

"The Nazis adopted the swastika because it was understood as an Aryan symbol indicating racial purity and superiority. (The Nazis propogated a historical theory in which the early Aryans of India were white invaders.) There may also be a connection with the swastika's magical connections, for Hitler and other Nazi leaders were keenly interested in the occult. "

Ahhh. I see. Thanks for that clarification

Hmmm...I didn't know that...

Do they celebrate it for a few days? Remember, they are celebrating as the bodies lie in the streets for three days. I think the Hindu thing lasts for five days, if I recall correctly. Besides that, the gog thing will have taken care of Islam....

Jeshurun, yeah, I know...I like to think outside the box and some of the things I come up with seem...well, weird. So, take it or leave it.

Maybe, but when I read of the beheadings during the beasts reign, I think of islam.

Yeah...I also think of the Inquisitions. Beheading is a Medieval, backwards thing to do....but effective, I suppose.

Legend has it that sage Jamadhagni's wife fell in love with a Gandharva moving across the sky when she saw his reflection in the water while taking bath in a pond. When the sage learnt about this, he sent his son Parasuram to behead his wife.
Parasuram obeyed his father's orders and beheaded his mother...

The word Brahman means breath, at its root, and in Hinduism, the Brahman is an anti-YHWH trinity, The root of YHWH means Breath/Life.
Brahma, the Creator and First God of Hindu Trinity
The man of sin comes to believe he is an incarnation of the god of forces, the Hindu Brahman.
http://www.hinduwebsite.com/brahmanmain.asp

Because of the passages in Daniel, I have written on the web for many years that the man of sin is a Hindu and honors the anti-YHWH Hindu god and believes that he is an incarnation of that god of forces, or life, or creation.
The Gog invasion is not the reason for the fulfillment of Psalm 83, as Gog is not coming to Israel to destroy those enemies of Israel as Psalm 83 denotes. Psalm 83 must be fulfilled before the scene is set, in Israel, for the Gog invasion and for the reasons Ezekiel 38 states.

The Gog invasion is not the reason for the fulfillment of Psalm 83, as Gog is not coming to Israel to destroy those enemies of Israel as Psalm 83 denotes. Psalm 83 must be fulfilled before the scene is set, in Israel, for the Gog invasion and for the reasons Ezekiel 38 states.

Is this a typo? Are you saying that Psalm 83 suggests that gog comes to destroy the enemies of Israel?

Psalm 83 describes the enemies/neighbors of Israel plotting to destroy Israel and Israel calling out to God for help, to save Israel from those enemies for the sake of His Holy Name.

Psalm 83 does not describe God doing anything about those enemies. It is only Israel's cry for help and Israel's suggestion to God about what God should do to those enemies.

Ezek 28:24-26 and Ezek 38 & 39, Joel 2 & 3, Zech 14, Isaiah 17 shows God stepping in.

Psalm 83 is fulfilled in that Israel's neighbors have been plotting together for Israel's destruction for several decades since they have been regathered into their land. They have yet to devise the evil scheme that brings them all together in an invasion of Israel.

Why? Do you feel the need to mock and put down someone, sister? Here's a few...have at it!

You said it, not I. I said it must transpire before the scene is set for Gog to invade as Ezekiel 38 describes the scene in Israel.
Not until Psalm 83 is fulfilled will Israel prosper and be in peace, and dwell securely without walls.

Psalm 83 describes the enemies/neighbors of Israel plotting to destroy Israel and Israel calling out to God for help, to save Israel from those enemies for the sake of His Holy Name.
So you think God will not help!

Psalm 83 does not describe God doing anything about those enemies.
Oh yes He will!
It is only Israel's cry for help and Israel's suggestion to God about what God should do to those enemies.
It is a prophetic proclamation, inspired by the Holy Spirit, through the prophet Asaph, about what YHWH will do at that time of that confederacy against Israel!

Psalm 83 is totally prophetic about when God will do what is said in that passage. Few words in the passage are written, and tense is not in the Hebrew, and they can be -and are- meaning that God is going to do what He did to those named in the passage.



Psalm 83 is fulfilled in that Israel's neighbors have been plotting together for Israel's destruction for several decades since they have been regathered into their land. They have yet to devise the evil scheme that brings them all together in an invasion of Israel.
There has never been the confederacy against Israel as listed in Psalm 83, and history proves you in error.

Yeah, because we know that Hindus are evil devil-worshippers.

The NAZI (National Socialist Workers Party) symbol was a Hindu symbol.

Swastika - Hindu Symbols - ReligionFacts

Actually the symbol of the Third Reich was a crooked swastika, a perverted swastika. Also must Indo-European cultures use it and so do Native Americans. Infact some Christian Saints in Europe have swastikas on their tombs.

 

[HisdaughterJen]

Yeah, because we know that Hindus are evil devil-worshippers.

Well, they certainly aren't worshipping YHWH or Jesus, now are they? If they aren't worshipping YHWH or Jesus, then who, oh who, are they worshipping?

There has been an ideology of Islam against Israel since they were re-established in 1948. Their neighbors are sworn to their destruction which is a documented, historical fact and have been plotting Israel's destruction for decades. There WILL BE an "evil scheme" devised that brings their neighbors into Israel bent on destruction.

Psalm 83 shows no action taken by God. It is Israel's cry to God regarding their nasty neighbors. It is fulfilled/being fulfilled as we speak.

The action taken by God regarding Israel's nasty neighbors is described in the other scriptures I listed.

It is a custom in most societies to send gifts to one another on festival days. I believe it is a big part of Easter and Christmas, too. The world religion will not be hinduism. It will be made from the remnants of Christianity, as that is the religion of Europe, where the anti-christ will rise.
