cbk said:OK, the following would be my scenerio without a physical rapture. Not much different than before.
1)I believe the seven seals have already been opened. Slowly since the last apostle perished and took his place upon one of the twelve thrones.
2) The seven trumpets are indicators to us that the "season" is near for the wrath of God and His final judgement. Period of trumpets, uncertain.
3) Revelation 12 has already been fulfilled. The dragon (Satan) is pursueing us.
4) The beast from the sea is the combined forces of the 4 beasts of Daniel, which, when added together, has seven heads and 10 horns.
5) The quartet that was born under Resolution 1405 (4/4/2002 -- the day after the passover ended on 4/3/2002) has made a unilateral covenant to the world to bring peace to the middle east and will attempt to do so whether or not Israelis agree.
But, this is just the opinion of a strange mind.
Pretty much the same as before. But, the U.S. will change due to a change of heart in the voters box.
Quite an interesting sequence of events and I have a few points to add
plus the change of American leadership at the polls would introduce a number of new inputs, especially in the Mideast area and the attitude of the future US govt to North Korea.
However, there is one point about Revelation 12 that has led to some theories.
I am talking specifically about Revelation 12:5
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
There are three different interpretations about Revelation 12:5
1- First view is Jesus's birth and I'm sure you agree with that and that is quite commonly believed.
2- A minority group who desire the 144000 to hold a very special place
assume the man child is the 144000 , which they find difficult to back up with scripture
3- The third view which is very very deep is the appearance of Christ
on Earth and his being taken to the Throne of God.
I would like your reaction to the third view. In fact, this 3rd interpretation of Rev 12:5 has Jesus on earth for an unspecified period of time during a period of hardship for God's people
without a single person knowing him. This is deep for he would have an identity, a career , I mean he would be living a regular life amidst regular folks with a name that no one knows but himself Revelation 19:12.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
---He could be your next door neighbour. He could have a family, a job
but God and Him would be the only ones to know who he is.
This is very intriguing and God's endtime events especially those involving Christ would require deep analysis. Read it a number of times and see how you take it in. Why would this not be possible or possible depending on your views?
Of course, Jesus after being snatched to the throne oversees the rest
of the events in Revelation till he does battle with the Beast etc.
