Hi

I think I can clear something up here When I said the Great tribulation Saints. It is what you seemed to be suggesting to me only those who had not worshipped the Beast that to me says during the great tribulation. If you are saying you do not see the Saints of the Great Tribulation as not receiving the Mark sorry for the misunderstanding.

In Greek there is no punctuation. What we have in rev 20 is not ONE group of people it is different groups.

We have

the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus. This includes the Apostles as cutting off the head was thought to be a way to deny them resurrection.

We Have

Those killed for the word of God,

Despite what most believe it is long been taught that Prophets that were killed prior to Jesus had their heads sawed off.

Hebrews 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword;


We have

who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand.

Do a study on Gods Sign that you wear on your hand and forehead

It is only the English translations that makes one think this is one group.

In the Greek it is much easier to see this as many different groups.

No the thief does not come then! That is the battle of Armageddon, which is 1000yr before Christ comes as the thief

What are you talking about that is your man made doctrine Scripture is clear,

12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15: Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16: And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17: And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air

How can you say the thief comes 1,000 years after Armageddon he clearly comes in-between the sixth and seventh trumpet/bowl .In fact at the seventh Trumpet/bowl Which is at Armageddon. wow talk about ignoring scripture for the Doctrine of men.

Scripture is very clear about this. You are just plain wrong

you remeber the other day i had a thread called the """parting of the sea""" and said it was not water as in liquid that was parted but people and armies, and the Lord allowed the troop of Moses and family go over the sea, dryshod, or made dry. and i said all this was just that the armies either side were hushed by God, since Moses and company did not pose a threat being as poor as they were and without ammo, nor in a fighting pose.

now look her at your verse 12 and see that the vial of the 6th angel dried up the Euphrates and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of kings of the east might be prepared.

note the waters dried up, ____AGAIN THIS IS A PEOPLE NOT A RIVERBED BUT PEOPLE WHO WERE MADE USELESS_____
the next verse 13 is also in symbolic form as it says in 14 the FROGS ARE PEOPLE NOT LITTLE BLUE POISON FROGS LIKE THE STORIES THEY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH AND THEY MAKE PICTURES TO KIDS AS IF FROGS JUMPIN IN THE CAMP OF EGYPTIANS WERE KILLING PEOPLE BY BITING THEM.
LIIKE THE CALL THE LOCUST PLAGUE, THE LOCUSTS WERE PEOPLE TOO, AND THE RED SEA WAS A BATTLE GROUND WHERE MUCH BLOOD WAS SHED ONLY LATER DO WE FIND A LAKE SO NAMED AND ALL YOUR STORIES GONE AMUCH B/C OF IT.

and 15 ' behold , i come as a thief, blessed is he that keep his garments SEE ANOTHER USE OF GARMENTS WHICH IS NOT CLOTHES PER SAY BUT KEEPS HIS SPIRIT IN LINE WITH GOD 'S WILL_________LEST HE WALK NAKEDED ______that' doesn't imply being in a nudist camp,____ but a sinner and adam and eve were found naked, shamed for their sin. ___do you think there sin was listening to talking snakes or doinfg the hanky panky out of lusty lust lovemaking so called for their own whimy whim whim.

get the picture,______________NO CONSENSUAL SEX AND IN MARRIAGE

HOW ABOUT FASTING FOR 24 HOURS EVEN A LITTLE PRAYER , THAT YOU COME NOT INTO THE BED B/C OF YOUR LUST, IE INCONINENCY.

HUH, WONDER WHY JESUS WAS CELIBATE??????????????

AND repeated better that one be enuch from birth, oh well so much for the word celibate,

and your churches love to promote happy good freewheeling sex life in marriage b/c the bed is not defiled in marriage _____________ah gees " not defiled" what did that mean? that meant you need to married to plant the seed not be lusty and take advantage of viagra and the liberalism the gove churches promote as sin sin and be happy. " jesus died for you to a liberal vote democrate and watch the sodomy laws change, oh boy.

16 and he gather them into a place called armageddon and they WENT CRAZY WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY'RE WHITE HOUSES WERE ACTUALLY MAY DARK BY THE CLITONS AND LEWISKEY DRINKERS, DRINKS CALLED """"HEORODIUS""" THE DANCING QUEEN ________AND SHE PLEASED HEROD, _____did she ever??????? LOLOLOLOL

and armageddon was filled with lighenings and there hail stones that came down from heaven in their midst __________YUP THE WORDS OF THE BEASTS AND THEIR CRONIES WHO ALSO WEAR, AND BARE THE NUMBER 666 IN THEIR FOREHEADS


THEY WENT WILD ESPECIALLY AFTER THE HEAVENS OPENED, THE DRAGONS WERE FREAKING OUT AND THERE WENT THE LAMB AND ALL THE GOOD children dressed in white wearing the "NEW SPIRIT" given to them at the throne party ____oh how SUPER that will be and just DUPER for those in beastly attire with their garments soiled in the names on the beasts ___but the DOMES roof will blow off with the the cheers and thunderings and lightenings coming from the heavens where the messiah is there shall God be sitting on His throne and there will be the song of Moses sung


ALL _________DAY ________ALL ________NIGHT ________LONG.




ARE YOU ALL GOING TO BE THERE??????????????????????



YUP 11:19_____________YAHOOOOOO_____ PARTY OF DREAMERS


(*_*)______________________(*_) (_*) ONE EYE JACKS JUST A LITTLE GAME

WITH A BUNCH OF POKER FACES, ________PERHAPS


THE 1000 YEAR REIGN HAS ALLREADY STARTED THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE 3RD DAY AS IN ONE DAY IS LIKENED TO 1000 YEARS SO NOW IS THE 3RD MIL AND HENCE THE THIRD DAY STARTED AT 11.19.99 TH LAST ODD DAY OF THE 2CD MIL AND THERE WILL BE APPROX 1000 YEARS BEFORE THE NEXT EVEN DAY ON THE CALENDAR.

SO WHAT IS 11.19 ________99 IT'S THE SAME NUMBERS THAT CORRESPOND TO

___________11:19 REVELATION, AND IT'S JUST A MYSTERY THAT GOD WOULD CONFIRM HIS SON IN THE CORDINATES AND NOT JUST IN WORD.

GOD IS TOO SMART AS I SAID THERE IS STILL ALL THE PTRTOPHETIC EXPRESSION TO CONFIRM.

i have you know there is way more that refers to the confirming of messiah this time around compared to 2000 years ago, this time the evidence is overwhelming, the last time the pharisees were not convinced b/c jesus was just a name like many jesus around toen and befor him too, and the pharisees were convinced that the times did not add up to his appearing.

AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL WAS JESUS'S TESTIMONY THAT HE HIMSELF SPENT MUCH TIME SPEAKING OF HIS OWN RETURN AND THE END TIMES.

SO hold on to your hats guys, like my daughter said " a roller coaster ride is coming to town" and what are you going to do about it.

ARE YOU IN FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

Ps: Have you read the scripture i gave you for Ezek. and Jermiah? Also it is in bits and pieces through out Isaiah. Run the cross references and you will pick up a lot that pertains to the last days.

Also about the kings of the east. I have restudied some of that and it is rediculous to say that at least in the beginning they were after what was left of Iseral. Till they seen the King coming riding a white horse. look where the battle takes place. Is it not in Israel? They destroy Babylon in Iraq first then head for Jerousalem. Which these two cities represent the two major religions on earth. The beast and ten kings think if they destroy them they have won, till they see the KING OF KINGS COMING. upooooooooooooo they make the final mistake, they come against Him.

I also think the DAY OF THE LORD may be 1000yr but we disagree on the order of events happening.
When Babylon is destroyed it is the DAY OF THE LORD VENGEANCE the vengeance for His Temple, that Neb. and the others destroyed. (Look at who He uses to take his vengeance out on Babylon)

Hi

I totally agree Armageddon is 1,000 years before Gog and Magog. One thing you have not made clear to me is your understanding of who is being spoken of in Rev 20:4 is it not these
(i think it is far more then just these but what do you think)


11: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.13: And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

The reality is you are reading something into rev 20 :4 that just is not there. It is Not Just those beheaded it is also those who died for the Word of God................and Those who testified of Jesus......and those who did not worship the Beast or receive his mark.

To understand this YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE MARK of the Beast and the Mark of God that is worn on the Forehead and hand.

Not everyone who dies for not worshipping the beast will be beheaded.

We can say this with 100% certainty.........because we know they will dies as those under the alter died and we know how they died and not all had their head cut off. You are just seeing what is said here because your own doctrine has you perceiving the verse as speaking of one group when in fact it speaks of different groups.

The Seventh trumpet and Bowl ARE THE EXACT SAME EVENT...........Here is the seventh trumpet

18: And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19: And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Above is the kingdom come

With Five points

Kingdom set up
lightning
Voices
Earthquake
Hail

now in rev 16 and the seventh viel

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.
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. .................21: And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

With Five points

Kingdom set up
lightning


Voices
Earthquake
Hail

Not only are these two sections IDENTICAL lets go back an event to the sixth

13: And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

In Both sections we have the Army of the East coming over the Euphrates.

It is obvious to anyone not locked in a doctrine of men that these are the same events.

Your contention that the thief does not come as the Armies are gathering for Armageddon is just ridiculous.

14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15: Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16: And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

You are contradicting yourself ..in one breath you say Gog is 1,000 years after Armageddon.

Then in another breath you say the Thief comes after Gog and Magog after the 1,000 years.

Scripture is clear the Thief comes at the Time of Armageddon.............IT IS IN THE SAME VERSES.

IT DOES NOT GET ANY CLEARER THAN THAT.....................Abandon your doctrine of men and accept the plain words of God.

i spent most of my time at the gallery correlating the coming of New Zion, and the reference is to the latter days as in now.

this new jerusalem coming down is also a major part to the here and now as is revealled at the 7th trump.

did you know that?

there 's a certain realizing of this by the women going off in ch 12 and being assisted by the earth.
This is all a part of the make up of the bride and the subsequent events.

HI MbiaJc

You are doing a fine job of dodging the question and the main point. Which is what is the mark of the beast.

The Mark of the Beast is the opposite of teh mark of God .

So please post what the sign of God is that you wear on your forehead and hand. Once you figure that out you will understand what the mark of the beast is.

You are also dodging the fact that the prophets DID have their heads cut off.

Greek is not read the same as English when you punctuate you can easily alter the meaning.

In Greek it is presented as different groups. the word "and" IS NOT IN THE GREEK. In addition in Greek when you are naming different pieces that apply to the same qualifier you do not repeat the qualifier part each time

So what you get is

I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:
I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus:

I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the word of God:

I saw the souls of them which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;

Which is the same as this group

and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great;

The kings of the East Are the Four Angles. When God divided the Countries he gave a Nation Each to the Sons of God. These are the Princes in Daniel 10: Each nation has an Angles at its Head.

It is not I who does not understand the reality of Ezekiel

Ezekiel 37 =First Resurrection

Ezekiel 38 = After the 1000 years when gog and Magog come Down.

The false teaching that Ezekiel 37 is modern Israel is the doctrine of men through and through.

Your explanation of the Thief coming in rev 16 is ................well it it is totally lame.

It is the same as Peter and Matt and your attempts to show it as not are just nonsense..................

Lets just move beyond that part for a minute or two here. You are just missing it because you seem to not understand other things involved in this.

So then in your understanding has this event happened.

13: And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

some times he's so right on and others is so way off,

like here, just look at the mark of God and you will know the mark of the beast.

and the prophets did have their heads cut off_______ lolololol

like chop chop, drip blood into bason for wiccan treatments. lol

the thief according to you and another post is at 11:19 but he be the thief there then who is at the throne with the 7 seals in ch 5

Romeo, or is that don juan, perhaps it's a live lion they find in a cage in judah somewhere and the lamb is some well, you tell me.

the thief is just a night stalker right, chasing men and stealing sheep,

cause the GREEK WORD FOR THIEF IS NIGHT MAN WITH MASK AND and mr strongs version is always right the thief is pierce bronsman with a new mustache.

Hi

So did the Jews cut off John the Baptists head. Why did the niece ask for his head Jews were typically stoned to death Except prophets who had their heads cut off.

What does Paul mean when he says they were cut in two.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah

The remaining years of Hezekiah's reign were peaceful (2 Chr. 32:23, 27-29). Isaiah probably lived to its close, and possibly into the reign of Manasseh, but the time and manner of his death are not specified in either the Bible or recorded history. There is a tradition that he suffered martyrdom in the pagan reaction in the time of Manasseh. Both jewish and Christian traditions state that he was killed by being sawed in half. Some interpreters believe that this is what is referred to by hebrews 11:37 (in the New Testament), which states that some prophets were "sawn in two". It is also mentioned in the book of The Martyrdom of Isaiah that he lived into the days of Manasseh, and was also sawn in half with a wooden saw.

http://www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/martisah.htm

"14 of Tyre and Sidon; for for me only hath God mingled the cup.' And when Isaiah was being sawn in sunder, he neither cried aloud nor wept, but his lips spake with the Holy Spirit until he was sawn in twain."

Thanks for demonstrating your ignorance on this subject in such a fine manor....................perhaps if you would read FIRST before you ridicule that which you obviously know nothing about you would find out that it is believed that all prophets killed were killed in this way....................that is stoned and beheaded or just beheaded.

We also knowthat the vast majority of the Apostles and Saints were beheaded if not all after being killed in some other manor.

Man two laughs in one day, at your worst than lame try at proving all prophets had their heads cut of, when you can't even prove Isaiah was beheaded. There is a big diference in being sawed in hald and being beheaded. I can't get over how you can take simple plain english and twist it the you you do. even so thanks for the laugh.

Hi

You are very good at avoiding the reality of what I have said...................I did not say all the prophets had their heads cut off I said all that were murdered did.

The Beheading of John the Baptist followed a long held Jewish tradition of killing who they believed were false prophets. The Torah lays out that such false prophets must be killed. Stoning was the traditional way to kill them. However through out Christian history and Jewish History cutting off the head of those seen not worthy of resurrection has always been the way. That is why the Jews cut off the heads of the Saints and Martyrs .......................James is just one example of this but it is recorded that almost every single Saint killed before the fall of Jerusalem had their heads cut off. This was not a new thing for the jews it was part and parcel of the Tradition of killing a false prophet. The Saints where this is not recorded does not mean it did not happen just that it was not recorded. This tradition carried over in to Christianity. Where suicide meant your head was cut off. those burned at the stake also after being taken down to be buried had their heads cut off. It also made its way into the Muslim faith in which infidels that are killed have their heads cut off. it all has grown out of the Jewish belief that cutting off the head of a false prophet is a way to insure that their body is not raised.

You need to do more research on this subject.

Now besides that I still do not see this text as ONLY speaking of those who have their heads cut off.. As I have stated the Greek does not imply that at all. The Greek implies different groups as I have stated the beheading only applies to the first group and perhaps the second group but does not have to apply to the third group.

You still have not addresses the main point in this verse what is the mark of the Beast. You keep avoiding this point and I understand why. The reality is what we find when we understand the mark is that it can apply to every single person throughout History.

So what is the mark of the Beast?
