You might have missed this post, regarding the bigger picture, on this thread topic. The last paragraph in particular. http://www.christianforums.com/t7429497-4/#post53858165

While the beholdthebeast website is geared more specifically for Christian consumption, and is considerably anti-Islam, because I am pro-Muslim - our could-become brethren. You might have noticed the first 2 lines on the home page read Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word...

At least now I can understand why you don't see why I would have posted that.

It was because you inquired of the author of The False Prophet: "Where is their actual time in the written word?" And so I backgrounded the author of the book for you. But your followup post demonstrates the sincerity of your prior question as well as your interest in exploring anything that...

I just did a search "Captain Ellis Skolfield" and found this interesting site regarding his father: "The Presbyterian Philippine Mission turned the island of Palawan over to the fledgling Association of Baptists. The most practical way to evangelize a group of islands was with a ship. The very...

They "seem to" because they are. How many of those preachers to which you refer, that continue to peddle futurism and preterism have, for the last 30 years, recognized and written about the central role of Islam as the end-time foe of God's people, in bible prophecy? How many of those men to...

redundant thread

What would be the point of a prophecy that wasn't to be unsealed until it didn't matter any more? Is that what the related verses say? Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be...

Then elders and those of the former age that may hold a different view then yours are of little to no value? So then because you perceived this "call", do you believe you were given a concrete understanding of Daniel and Revelation, that has eluded the church for the last 2,000 years? Why not...

No need to discuss Rev 1 11 further (unless you see a need) since there are more constructive verses that you listed, so let's move to the next verse you cited to support a future physical rebuilt temple. Revelaton 11:1-2 OK if we discuss this on the thread specifically related to the temple of...

"Simply reading" Revelation might prove a difficult way to understand it. Perhaps you could direct me to the view in the context of historicism that you familiarized yourself with.

Guys, I understand the context of your futurist view because I held it myself for a dozen or so years. Indoctrinated myself with Jack Van Impe tapes and later attended Calvary Chapel. The question is have you bothered to try to view the whole of Revelation within the continuous historic...

Through an ethnographic view, looking through John's eyes at his whole "world", they already have. Strong's world New Testament Greek Definition: 3625 oikoumene {oy-kou-men'-ay} feminine participle present passive of 3611 (as noun, by implication of 1093); TDNT - 5:157,674; n f AV - world 14...

Daniel detailed a lion, bear, and leopard kingdom "beasts". Many understand these to be the ancient successive kingdoms of Babylon, medo-Persia, and Greece. Today occupying the same geographical seats are Iraq, Iran and Syria/Lebanon. The dragon, Satan, gave John's composite leopard-bear-lion...

That record of the churches of chapter's 1-3 wasn't something that was to come to pass, but rather explored difficulties in the churches, that had already happened. Let me try to save us a little time. Have you ever seen Revelation presented in a continuous historic context? That is have you...
