Featured The mark of the beast will be literal...

Jesus' other prophecies came to pass literally. No valid reason to believe the rest of'em won't come to pass just-as-literally.

 

No, it'll be a LITERAL thing that 'll enable people to conduct business. remember that no one will be able to buy or sell (conduct business) without it. Nothing written in peoples' hearts can do that.

 

MMRRPP ! WRONG !

The antichrist/beast will be ONE MAN, assisted by a miracle-working false prophet. He will enter the temple the Jews will build in Jerusalem & declare himself God. That'll be the "abomination of desolatioon" Jesus said to watch for. It did NOT occur in the old temple.
Please pay heed to Daniel 9, 2 Thess. 2 & Rev. 13. Your pret stuff is pure imagination, with no truth to it.

 

Nothing to do with the TRUTH of Scripture.

 

I just referred to some Scriptures that point out the TRUTH about the coming antichrist his sidekick the miracle-working false prophet, & the mark of the beast. "You can lead a horse to water......"

 

Yes, it WILL appear. I referred you to Daniel 9, 2 Thess.2, & Rev. 13 as proof Scriptures the AC will be ONE MAN. And remember, when Jesus returns, that man & the false prophet will be CAST ALIVE into the lake of fire. No "symbolism" could be thus disposed of.

So far, Jesus' prophecies have come to pass LITERALLY. There's NO valid reason to believe the rest won't cometa pass JUST-AS-LITERALLY!

Your preterist symbolism is pure imagination, without a quark of TRUTH to it.

 

In Daniel 9, the prince of the people that would destroy Jerusalem. Since J already lay in ruins in Dan's time, that could only be the Romans.

In 2 Thess.2, Paul writes of the "man of sin, son of perdition" entering the temple & proclaiming himself God.

2 Thess.2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Now, how can anyone say this is anything but a MAN? prets try to make him a symbol, as THE TRUTH opposes their false doctrine, but the Scripture is pretty plain. Continuing on in 2Thess.2:

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

You may read Rev. 13 & rev. 17 for yourself, from your fave Bible version. They're both about the same beast, both the empire & its ruler.

 

No, you're WRONG.

Your pret stuff (symbolism) is what's false.

Proof?

the LITERAL occurrence so far of what Jesus prophesied-the days of vengeance, the temple's being completely destroyed, war & rumor of war, false christs, etc. There's absolutely NO valid reason to not believe the rest of His prophecies aren't JUST-AS-LITERAL, & the rest of the unfulfilled prophecies by others are in support of those of Jesus.
