Or do youbelieve God is an earthquake and heaven departs from the earth as a scroll being rolled together?


None of that has anything to do with a nuclear explosion. Why do you think God uses such a crude thing anyways?

You said you cant hide from a nuclear explosion in a bomb shelter ,but you believe they can hide from God?Really?

Just so you know.A nuclear explosion causes an earthquake and the cloud departs from the earth as a scroll rolled together.

There is nothing remotely there concerning any nuclear explosion.


Such instraments are deliverd via missiles which apear to john as stars falling .

Now jesus said jerusalem was responsible for all the riteous blood shed upon earth.

Can anyone find where Jesus or any prophet condemn Rome ?
But if Jerusalem was already a ruin and Revelation was written after 70AD, how could John predict the fall of the harlot of Babylon in the future?

That happened on 70AD and has been happening every since - ie: the Nazi holocaust for example.

But I don't believe that is what John spoke about.

Ok.You believe Babylon us responsible for the death of tge saints.
Can you tell me what year Christ came back to earth?

You are right. Ive learned the description of tye events before they run to the mountains and hide in the dens ,describe a nuclear explosion.
They didn't have nukes back in the 1st century ;)
I believe these passages are concerning 70ad Jerusalem [if they are still yet future, then I suppose the Jews will have to go thru another "70ad holocaust"]

Isa 31:9

He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear, And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the LORD,
Whose fire is in Zion, And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

This passage in Ezekiel 22 is interesting.
Here Yahweh says He is going to gather the Jews into the "furnace" of Jerusalem
EZEKIEL 22 "GATHER HOUSE OF ISRAEL INTO JERUSALEM TO MELT IN FURNACE/GEHENNA"

Ezekiel 22:
1 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying, 2 ‘And thou, son of adam! dost thou judge? dost thou judge the City of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its abominations,
17 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying, ‘Son of adam!
18 The House of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace — dross hath silver been,
19 Therefore, thus said Adonay Yahweh: Because of your all becoming dross, Therefore, behold!
I am gathering you unto the midst of Jerusalem,
20 A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, Unto the midst of a furnaceto blow on it fire, to melt it,
So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
21 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath<5678>,
And ye have been melted<5413> in its midst.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Yahweh, I have poured out My fury<2534> upon you.’

Revelation 15:1
And I sign another sign in the heaven, great and marvelous. Seven Messengers having seven stripes/blows, the last,
that in them is finished the fury<2372> of the GOD..............
=====================
I believe one way to gather the Jews into Jerusalem would be during the feast of the Passover, which just happened to be when Titus sieged Jerusalem in 70ad:

Matthew 24:20
“And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

Matthew 23:
33 "Serpents! produce of vipers!
how? ye may be fleeing from the judging of the geennhV <1067>
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!............

https://www.preteristarchive.com/JewishWars/timeline_military.html


The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover ; and it is deserving of the very particular attention of the reader, that this was the anniversary of that memorable period in which the Jews crucified their Messiah !
At this season multitudes came up from all the surrounding country, and from distant parts, to keep the festival. How suitable and how kind, then, was the prophetic admonition of our LORD, and how clearly he into futurity when he said "Let not them that are in the countries enter into Jerusalem." Luke xxi. 21.

Nevertheless, the city was at this time crowded with Jewish strangers, and foreigners from all parts, so that the whole nation may be considered as having been shut up in one prison, preparatory to the execution of the Divine vengeance ;
and, according to Josephus this event took place suddenly ;
thus, not only fulfilling the predictions of our LORD, that these calamities should come, like the swift-darting lightning" that cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the West," and " as a snare on all of them (the Jews) who dwelt upon the face of the whole earth " (Matt. xxiv. 27, and Luke xxi 35,) but justifying, also, his friendly direction, that those who fled from the place should use the utmost possible expedition

Is the "GEHENNA" of Matt 23:33 the "LAKE OF FIRE" in Revelation? Poll thread

Gehenna and Lake of Fire the same?

You said you cant hide from a nuclear explosion in a bomb shelter ,

I did not say that.

but you believe they can hide from God?Really?

I never said they can hide from God either. You need to go back and read what I said.


Just so you know.A nuclear explosion causes an earthquake and the cloud departs from the earth as a scroll rolled together.

So does a regular explosion. But " the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together" isn't the same as an explosive cloud rising up...this is heaven departing not a cloud.

Such instraments are deliverd via missiles which apear to john as stars falling .

Stars in scripture are angels so this is the heavenly host descending on the day of wrath which is the second coming and God doesn't use human made nuclear weapons as he has his own ways to deliver wrath.

Heaven departing as a scroll being rolled together is the same as a cloud asceding fromthe earth into the heavens.
Its described as a cloud as well.

Revelation 11:12 And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.

Yeah.

Plus Jerusalem is not already destroyed in Rev. He writes in Rev 11 that an earthquake destroys a tenth of the city which means before that the city was undestroyed and by the end of the trib only a tenth was destroyed and by earthquake not Roman army. In Rev 11 John even measures the temple so in Rev the temple and city are undamaged and at the end of the trib the city only has ten percent damage.

You are inserting a cloud from an explosion. The text has no such thing.
The sixth seal is speaking of what happens when Christ returns, the day of wrath and the earthquake mentioned is the same one from the 7th vial:

Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Same language is used:


Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

As you can see, they go to the mountains because they are hoping the earthquake will cause rocks to fall on them so they can die without suffering the wrath of God. Plus, islands and mountains are not destroyed by nuclear bombs. This is something far greater and more destructive than man's nuclear weapons.

Its actually called te abomination which causes desolation in scripture and the armed forces of the king of the north places it.

Jesus said the abomination that causes desolation would cause great tribulation such as never was nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.


What was you saying is worse than this?

That's not what the 6th seal is talking about. The 6th seal and the part you think is a nuclear explosion is the day of God's wrath and the AoD isn't going to be able to nuke anyone on that day. God will be in control and it is God wrath the people are afraid of not the wrath of the AoD. Context is critical.

Jesus said the abomination that causes desolation causes great tribulation,su h as never wasnor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:15 So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination of desolation,' described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

Matthew 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Matthew 24:17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

Matthew 24:18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

Matthew 24:19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

Matthew 24:20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

Matthew 24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

What exactly are you trying to say is worse than what Jesus said is the worst?

Jerusalem sits on seven hills.

There is also one nation and people that in all the other books of the Bible is personified as a harlot.

Hint: It's not Rome.

Now think REAL hard and see what you can come up with.

Of course the harlot is the USA.

Yeah I know but we weren't discussing that. We were discussing the events of the 6th seal where you claim there is a nuke used and I said no, it's God's wrath and that's stronger than a man made nuke...and nukes cannot moves islands and mountains. Then instead of addressing that you employed a red herring and changed the subject.

Stonings? Nerf balls?
Stoning............Hailstones.....repent!

Acts 7:
58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

Acts 14:19
Then Jews
from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes,
they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

2 Corinthians 11:25

Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

John 10:

31Therefore the Jews took up stones again, that they might stone Him.
33 the Judeans answered Him, saying, "about a good work not we are Stoning Thee, but about blasphemy, and that Thou being a man are making thyself a god ".

Romans 2:24

For 'the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you', as it is written.

Revelation 16:21

And great Hail as a talent-weight is descending out of the Heaven upon the men.
And the men blaspheme the God out of the blow of the Hail, that great is the blow of it/her, tremendous.

Isaiah 28:
17 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
18 And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place.

https://www.kennethgentry.com/catalog/apocalypse.htm
The prophecy of the talent weight hailstones has found a similar fulfillment in the siege of Jerusalem, according to the preterist. Josephus states of the catapults of the Roman tenth legion: "the stones that were cast, were of the weight of a talent, and were carried two furlongs and further.... As for the Jews, they at first watched the coming of the stone, for it was a white color" (Wars 5:6:3). These stones not only had the weight required by John, but were the same color as hail.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

As a consequence, the legions were able to build their redoubts almost without any trouble; soon, their catapults started to throw heavy stones into the city. Under cover of this artillery fire, the Roman soldiers could start to bash the northern wall with their battering-rams.

=======================
Go to 1 minute mark for catapults

According to scripture the ten horns hate the harlot and make her naked.It is also written they give thiet power and strength to the beast.
I can show you where the beast arrives in Jerusalem killing the people and raping the women.

Can you show me the same being done to Rome?

Yes, it did. Around 410 AD, I believe.
