  • 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.

    When will the OT Saints be Resurrected?

    According to the book of Revelation chapter 20 there are to be two resurrections in the future. The first is the resurrection of the saints and will occur at the return of Christ. The second is for ‘the rest of the dead’ and will take place at the end of the Millennium. The Saints...

    How to interpret Revelation 17

    I have no idea what the DTS doctrine is. I have very little knowledge of Roman history. I can only re-iterate that my study is completely independent. If others have come to similar conclusions then I must be on the right track.

    How to interpret Revelation 17

    Then you don't read very well. Daniel does all he can to tell you it's Rome. I should have written, Rome is not named in any prophecy in the Bible. So your theory is still guesswork. Babylon is named, Assyria is named, so is Egypt, Edom and a host of others. Why don't you use what's there...

    How to interpret Revelation 17

    Futurism is a 20th century view of eschatology that is totally errant and is loaded with unrealistic expectations and speculations. My study over 40 years was also completely independent and relied only on the Bible. I was unable to find Rome in any prophecy whatsoever in the Bible so any...

    How to interpret Revelation 17

    The ten kings will rule over the ten areas described in Psalm 83. They were the ten generals of the dragon who have had their status elevated by the king of the north (Dan 11:39) when he assumes leadership of the beast. He is the king of Babylon. Note that the horns of the dragon do not have...

    How to interpret Revelation 17

    Let’s see if the Bible can help us. There are two different women in Rev 17. How do we know this? The un-named great harlot is sitting on many waters and the other woman named Babylon is riding a beast in the wilderness. There are not many waters in the wilderness so the two women are in two...

    Heaven and Earth in Prophecy

    That's a new idea for me. I consider that the first 6 trumpets are the time of Jacob's trouble or the tribulation upon Israel beginning with the drought caused by the witnesses. Surely the sun, moon & stars are Israel as in joseph's dream.

    Heaven and Earth in Prophecy

    You seem to have missed the fact that the Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is in fact the king of Babylon. See verse 4.

    Elijah during the Tribulation

    The return of Elijah to Israel is the first event to fulfil end time prophecy. The majority of Jews will NOT accept his ministry which is why the tribulation will begin in Israel to punish the unbelievers.

    The order of resurrection is that the first shall be last and the last shall be first.

    Heaven and Earth in Prophecy

    In the Old Testament the word “heaven” often means “the sky”, but in prophecy the words “heaven” and “earth” take on entirely new meanings. Consider the following: Luk 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. When is this going to happen? 2Pe 3:10 But...

    The woman sits.....

    I think that there are two women in Rev 17. The great harlot who sits on many waters is Jerusalem in future captivity in Arab countries. The woman who rides the beast is a literal Babylon which will be rebuilt on its previous site. Why do I think that? The Medes have never destroyed Babylon as is...
