Thank you for sharing this good visual aid. I want to just make a comment though on what you said about that you think that the image of the beast will be a statue. I personally disagree with it -- I believe the image is a human being. My reasoning is as follows. As we read in Revelation 17...

That's good, thanks for making this clear to me.

I see what you mean. Didn't see this at first. But then, does the Bible mention how long will the abomination remain where it is set up? If not, then perhaps the hypothesis isn't fully refuted by the fact that the Easter Sunday varies in what date it falls on.

Well, I think I would agree. Christ needs to give it to you first. For example, I was trying to piece all the symbols together by drawing line connections on an e-tablet. But what served as the breaking point was when I fell down on my knees and cried out with all my being, asking that He lets...

Yes, I'm aware of that opinion. But I believe Bible is fractal-like. Mathematical fractals are a function, where if you keep zooming into one point on the visualization of it, you see the same picture as you saw earlier -- and on and on like that, into infinity. And in the Old Testament we see...

But what about these verses: "For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on...

I just read the news and it occurred to me that the following might be the case in light of the prophecy of Daniel about the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place and what follows it. It's written that there will be about 3.5 years after the sacrifices are abolished that the...

I agree. But the power of the rituals is real, if the priest has power of God in truth. And if you ask me, I personally believe that there is God's power even in the Catholic church, though I do not agree with its teaching about works or the filioque. I believe Catholic church is one of the...

You may be right. Thank you for letting me be aware of these details. I have not noticed these things. But the main point was that those that die in the Lord do not come to the Judgement, but only those, who have died without the Spirit. And actually according to Young's Literal Translation the...

I agree. And I agree with the common idea that the Bible has all the keys to unlock itself. The symbols of Revelation all can be unlocked using the words of Christ and those of the Apostles, and parts of the Old Testament. One just need to "run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased".

It's fine, no offence taken. But I would personally disagree. I mean it is written about Christ that "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them". I do understand though that you bear a more literal approach to interpreting the...

To be honest I think that the Enlightment actually came when the world was relieved after the dark ages have subsided, which was filled with inquisitions and other horrible things being committed by the western church against those it viewed as apostates or enemies, including a failed excursion...

When I said "Orthodox stronghold in the east" I didn't mean eastern Europe. By "east" I meant Russia, which lies on Great European Plain only in its western part. Historically Russia had become the successor of the Eastern, Byzantine Christianity, which is the other biggest Christianity that...

I believe the hands represent our works, because it is written in OT "the works of their hands". But Jesus said we cannot do anything without Him, so it is by His Spirit we work the good deeds of the Gospel. And it is with the spirit of this world that we work everything that God rejects. For...

Ok, I think I haven't been very thorough in my explanation, which is why you may have felt that. And if not, please help me to understand better what it means to work out an interpretation. So, for example, when I stated that I believe that the six only symbolizes a seal of the spirit of faith...
