    Do angel's have wings?

    In most of the descriptions given of angels in the Bible, there is no mention of wings. Two passages I know of where they are described as having wings are the first part of Ezekiel (in which Ezekiel has a vision of angels with six wings), and of course the ark of the covenant has cherabim with...

    Question about Apocalyptic Literature

    Yes, the historical view does, though in this day and age there are not many scholars at least that hold to this vew. The popular view nowadays appears to be dispensationalist/futurist.

    Question about Apocalyptic Literature

    Well it appears that very few do seem to understand what I am asking, though it's not a difficult question, at least not if you are familiar with apocalyptic literature. That's the key word here guys. Look it up on wikipedia.

    Question about Apocalyptic Literature

    Hmmm... You sound like a futurist to me. Funny how I can always tell, even from so little.

    What your saying appears to be completely unrelated to my question.

    Question about Apocalyptic Literature

    This doesn't answer my question. I'm not refering to the "apocalypse", ( are you refering to Revelation?), but to apocalyptic literature. As I said before, Daniel displays a long section of history using symbolism. My question was whether other apocalyptic literature does the same.

    Question about Apocalyptic Literature

    In my studies on apocalyptic literature, I've noted that the book of Daniel appears to predict a long progression of history using symbols to display the progression of empires. My question is: In any other apocalyptic writings, jewish or christian, cannocal or extra-cannocal, are long...

    Whats going to make all the Isreali's go back to Isreal?

    The above is incorrect. Quite simply: The term Hebrew describes blood-line, ancestory. The term Jew describes the belief, the religion. The majority of the Jews in the world today are actually of Russian/European ancestory. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi). In any case, there...

    Daniel--- Chap 11

    Although Daniel 11 and 12 are a fairly accurate description of the "Hellenistic Wars", for this very reason as well as other, the "pre-written" aspect is highly disputed. Not saying the skeptics are correct, but it's worth considering.

    Dave Hunt says RCC is Babylon

    No, but the city/empire of Rome at the time when John wrote the revelation does.

    Dave Hunt says RCC is Babylon

    Really? Well why don't we factor into this equation who was more of a threat, to the Christians as well as the Jews, but especially to the seven churches in Western Asia Minor (Turkey) to which the letter was foremost intended. Maybe then it'll all add up for you.

    Dave Hunt says RCC is Babylon

    And does Jerusalem sit on "seven hills"?. Because I know that Rome does, and that is who was persecuting the Christians when John wrote this. So if you put 2 and 2 together...
