  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Always good to keep your inards.
Indeed. As for anything that could resemble an attempt to take my soul, there was a dream I had relatively recently that basically had satanic zombies try to make me one if them. They even dragged me to this weird ritual site for it. However, I woke up before said ritual happened, so there's that.

DX why zombies, why are you in my nightmares all the time? Nibbling at my feet as I collect Mario coins while everyone around me gets taken out one by one. That dream even had bad jump mechanics, like a bad platforming video game.

Sorry about your bad dream problem.
Thankfully, it is over now. They make for great, surreal stories now and again. I am thinking of making Tower 30 into a short story (i record my most interesting dreams).

The forty and two months mentionned in Revelation 13:5 seem rather used to tell us that the Reign of the Beast will be literally spend during -forty and two months- made of a literal amount of 1260 days mornings and evenings based on the lunar calendar 1 month =30 days---> 42X30=1260 days

Apocalyptic timelines use 'day for year' as we see in Rev 11, Rev 12, Rev 13, Dan 7, Dan 8, Dan 9.

It is a fact of the literature.

That is how we get to the 490 year prediction in Dan 9 for the first coming of Christ and the start of His ministry.

In Rev 12 we see that those 1260 years are included in the span of time between the time Christ is resurrected and the end of the dark ages persecution of the saints.

Rev 13 refers back to the details just given in Rev 12 when it too speaks of those same 1260 years. Only Rev 13 indicates that the 1260 years end before the rise of the United States to world dominate power.

No. The tribulation is given in weeks, and years, and days, just to silence folks who may try and deny that.
Yes, in the case of Daniel, the days till Christmas were given, and the term week or group of seven ..we're used.

I tend to eat them straight up. I like sour food. Taking it too literal? Why, that is the joke, sir.
Well, for you we might make such a comparison more stark, using terms that more clearly indicate something undesirable versus desirable.

Desirable or undesirable have nothing to do with if something is true or not. Also, I actually hate writing with a passion, so writing my dreams down is not really making the best of a bad situation, as much as it is me feeling obligated to share the weird stories.

Since I find it hard to follow this whole train of thought I guess maybe somewhere in the pile, you have a point....

The Bible says aliens from outer space live here - the devil and his angels. Mankind will not be going anywhere until the return of Christ at the 2nd coming.

Then 1000 years of Rev 20 --- and the lake of fire event happens.

Rev 21 - the New earth is created here on this planet - and all tears wiped away.

Right. Remember though, that many fallen angels will fall from space to earth wen they get kicked out of there. There will be a lot of spainin to do as to what they are.

2 Thess 2:1-8 -- or they might just be chomping at the bit to put on a fireworks show and snooker the whole planet.

Rev 13:
13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

If they chomp or not down to earth they will come. Real fallen angels. At that time also, we likely will see them, because I notice that we see the angels of God then. (that is the folks alive here at that time)
