    According to you. As you too are partial to his views.

    You see what you want to see. That is up to you . C'est la vie. I disagree based on the things I already posted. REV. is prophecy not a RECAP of what was and already happened, or what was going on with the church in John's time. "To let His servants know what must soon come to past" HELLO is anybody home?

    That is ONE OBVIOUS thing pointed out. But you will still choose your partiality over that FACT which I pointed out. And as with all things concerning time , it is relative. And " soon" , is clearly from God's perspective, " we can be sure it is not meaning WHAT IS HAPPENING in real time when John wrote down what was shown to him ,but what is SOOOOON to happen . GET THE PICTURE?

    "These are few days among the days of eternity" . So as I said soon is relative . And clearly, if it is Prophecy - THE BOOK OF REVELATION of what is to soon come to pass, then your man is WRONG using prophecy of what must soon come to past, to explain what was happening to the church IN REAL time, during John's time. GET The picture?

    FIRST LIE FROM YOUR man. POINT made and CHECK MATE. You know FACT CHECKING- Testing, reading using discernment.

    Sorry brother the point of my posts is simply to ask why you disagree with the scriptures provided in the OP. So far you have not shown why you disagree but simply say you disagree with the scriptures provided without showing why you disagree. All I see here are your words denying God's Word.

    Do you have any scripture to share to show why you disagree with the scriptures provided in the OP? If you do not why do you not believe Gods Word? Sorry I am still trying to understand your position. It seems you are trying to argue simply for the sake of making an argument without showing why you are in disagreement or prove your claims that the OP is in error as you have not provided any scripture support for your position to show why you are in disagreement with the OP.

    Posted in all love brober, just saying something is not true does not make it so because you say so. Only God's Word is true and we should believe and follow it *ROMANS 3:4; ACTS 5:29

    PS. We either have God's Word to support our views or we do not and it is the Word of God we should believe and follow.

    Well so far I am not sure of the points your making as you have not been able to make your case through the scriptures. If you can, I will look forward to hearing what you have to say.

    With scripture I already proved him to be lying, you just are not hearing what you want to hear.

    No you didn't you simply called the brother of the OP names, calling him a liar when he was only posting scripture without showing that anything he has provided was not biblical. Your best off in my view addressing the post and showing why you disagree with it rather than calling people names. If you show why you do not believe the scriptures provided than your better off believing the scriptures that support the OP. If what the brother is sharing is not true it will come to nothing and is something you do not need to worry about. If we deny God's Word in place of our own we may find ourselves fighting against God who owns the very Words we deny. You do not want to find yourself in that position Just a thought.

    God bless sister.

    This was already addressed here, in some detail, though more can always be stated from scripture:

    For instance, God states in Ecclesiastes 1:9, 3:15 and elsewhere (Matthew 24:37-38; Luke 17:26-30), that history repeats. History, in scripture is used to demonstrate, by type, or by repetition, that which is coming (future), notice:

    Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

    1. The thing that hath been (past)
    2. it is that which shall be (future)
    3. and that which is done (present)
    4. is that which shall be done (future)
    5. and there is no new thing under the sun. (cycle)​

    Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

    1. That which hath been (past)
    2. is now (present)
    3. and that which is to be (future)
    4. hath already been (past)
    5. God requireth that which is past. (cycle)
    Past (history), being the type for later repetition.

    As the days of Noe were .. so also ... be ...
    also as it was in the days of Lot ... even thus shall it be ...​

    Revelation, as shown, is given in the same way.

    As Babylon of old in the natural, so then the Babylon of the new in the spiritual, see 1 Corinthians 15:44-46, first the natural, followed by the spiritual. Just as in Genesis, first the physical lamb in type, later the spiritual Lamb (Jesus, Behold the Lamb of God ...) in reality.

    In fact, the entire history of Jesus is the reality of those things of the past, such as a child under death decree (as Moses), going into Egypt, coming out of Egypt, going through the waters of Baptism (like waters of the Rea Sea, 1 Cor. 10), Holy Ghost, teaching about God's Law expanded in Matthew 5 (as Moses likewise did).

    Revelation is a revealing of Jesus Christ, and all things concerning Him, Revelation 1:1. This would include the past, being about His birth, even life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension, Rev. 12:2,5. There are a lot of things that were future from John's day in Revelation, but not all. Thus my previous demonstration by the texts (past, present, future), hast seen, which are, and things which shall be hereafter, also was, is and is to come, etc. In fact, Revelation 1:1-20, though 'present' to John at the time, are now as the past unto us, and yet since history repeats, see how that which was past in certain areas, can also detail the future.

    That prophecy is sometimes in regards the future, that does not mean that the past or even present (at the time) is not also present. In Daniel, Babylon is mentioned in the prophecies, and it was then present with Daniel (Thou art this head of Gold (present tense)), but also included future events yet to come upon it.

    In Isaiah 46:9-10, we see God saying:

    Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

    Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

    Notice, the entire connection of history, from Alpha to Omega, Beginning unto Ending, from First to the Last, from Author to Finisher, from the 7th day of Creation unto the (2nd) Advent.

    Using Daniel 11 as a template, it can be demonstrated that History has repeated at least 3 times, using the same verses - Link

    Jesus, in a special prophecy, even used the past events (history) of Jonah to speak about the future, but those events were linked to the historical account that already took place (Matthew 12:40).

    You may let it be brother, for it is written:

    Mat_10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

    The LORD is my shield, my defense, my advocate, but I also appreciate your input.

    Could you specifically define 'over lengthy' for the entire board and population of the world (as you did say 'no one').

    Also, every post in this thread, is within the length of the board's standard and limit, and not one post has violated such limits. If you think that the board standard and limit is too much, perhaps you should let the Administration know about your private concern, and you might recommend to them the CAF (Catholic Answer Forums) policy of about 3,000 letters, and removal of colour, etc, so that this forum may be in more harmony with its doctrines and political leanings.

    Just a suggestion.

    How does the Bible define hypocrisy?

    Public school teacher promoting homosexuality, the end of police and our judicial system

    Public school teacher promoting homosexuality, the end of police and our judicial system

    Trump Mocked For Claim He Broke Elton John's Attendance Record. Fire Marshal: Trump Was Right.

    A clear tie between making mass shooting threat and a video game

    Thank you President Trump.....Obama

    PS, are those threads even about the Bible, at all? Helping men to salvation, exegeting texts of scripture, talking about Jesus Christ the Way, bringing enlightenment to those in darkness or is it rather similar to the work of the zealots in Christ's day, more concerned with political maneuvering under the guise of religion? Let me know what you think, but keep it short, just a word or two, since you stated that no one, not even yourself, likes overly lengthy posts, and no pictures please by your own reasoning in that they are not helpful or in any way furthering the conversation and are just a waste of bandwidth.

    The word of God says, "... Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, ..."

    John Gill (Baptist) disagrees with you.

    "... 2. Another prophecy in Dan. XII. 1-3. respects the sound and personal coming of Christ; for his is meant by Michael, who is as God, as his name signifies, equal to him; the great prince, the prince of the kings of the earth, and the head of all principalities and powers ..."

    "... [A Body Of Doctrinal Divinity; Book III. Chapter 2. Of The Creation Of Angels] for as for Michael, the Archangel, he seems to be no other than Christ, the Prince of angels, and Head of all principality and power; who is as God, like unto him, as his name signifies; yea, equal with him. … and the "Watchers", in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, thought to be angels by many, more probably are the divine Persons in the Godhead, the same with the Holy Ones, and the most High (Dan. 4:17,24). ... The more common name given to these celestial spirits, is that of angels; the word for which in the Hebrew language, and which is used of them in the Old Testament, signifies "messengers"; and so the uncreated Angel, Christ, is called the Angel, or Messenger of the covenant (Mal 3:1), and it comes from a root, preserved in the Ethiopic dialect, which signifies to "send," [2] because these spirits have been often sent with messages and dispatches to the children of men: the word "angels" we use, comes from a Greek word, [3] which signifies the same; and are so called, from their being sent on, and bringing messages, which they declare, publish, and proclaim. …

    In fact, many learned and godly men and women, from all over history, who have deeply and prayerfully studied their Bible, and even translated Bibles, wrote lexicons, dictionaries, studied many languages, disagree with you. The ones who agree with you is the Roman Catholic Church, hence the point of my previous comment on the subject of this forum.
