Featured How Many Resurrections In Revelation?

Let me translate this: "My eschatology cannot actually digest all of Scripture so I ignore the parts that conflict with my Catholic eschatology."

Instead of slinking around threads spouting accusations...address the points raised.

Here is a simple question: why isn't the resurrection and rapture of the Two Witnesses...a resurrection?

I guess you lied to me when you said you would answer if I explained John 5. Now is your chance to redeem your integrity.


God bless.

 

Another example if your dishonesty is your view requiring sinners and death in the new heavens and earth. You deny implying that. See post 63.

God bless.

 

Here's something else you erroneously teach: that Christ is the First Resurrection of Revelation 20.

What about the believers actually said to be resurrected, BR?


God bless.

 

Okay, since BR refuses to answer any questions, anyone else who sees only one resurrection want to explain why the other two are not resurrections?

And on a tablet so would someone mind posting Revelation 11:1-12?

God bless.

 

Its not true. We can place each of the three resurrections of Revelation at a specific point in the events which show there is a need for a sequential chrology, not a generalized and spiritualized symbology the Catholic Church teaches:

The resurrection of the Two Witnesses is reasonably placed at the mid-point of the Tribulation because the Abomination of Desolation is not likely erected during their forty two month ministry.

The First Resurrection ("first" referring to the resurrection unto life, contrasted with the resurrection unto damnation, not first in sequence because we see at least two resurrections before this one, Christ and the two witnesses, all three glorified), which takes place at the end of the Tribulation, just after Christ's return.

What is reasonably thought to be a general resurrection takes place, as is clearly written in Revelation 20, one thousand years after Christ's return.

You know it, I know it, and everyone who reads Revelation without the Catholic view knows it.

Your doctrine misleads and keeps people in reliance of an interpreter, a mediator, which at its heart has the same organization which popularized the notion that God has not meant for the average plowboy to handle, read, and understand His Word.

That's why He gave His Word. So we can know that which He has revealed.

I recommend to all that they read the original preface of the KJV, where this mentality was opposed.

Folks the statement that one cannot track the sequence of Revelation is the worst teaching one will ever embrace.

Those who follow the sequence of the Prophecy are not bound by man's doctrine and are not afraid to answer, not just the simple questions, but the harder questions.

So don't let popish people deceive you. Find out for yourself, folks. If after study of Revelation itself, you don't see the Prophecy begin to become understandable, and like all Prophecy emerge in Biblical harmony, well...you will.


God bless.

 

The last statement of BR in regards to God giving the world to Antichrist for seven years being ridiculous, well, how long did God allow Eqypt? Babylon?

So the reasoning departs from a long history of God using pagan nations to judge.

However, we can see that the argument itself is laced with error. The Tribulation is never a matter of Antichrist having control any more than the self proclaimed gods of prior nations such as Pharoah and Caesar.

While the god of this world goes on an open campaign, and demands worship, his god and he is no more the Sovereign than he was when he tested the Son of God in the wilderness.

The wrath that unfolds only works within the will of Sovereign God. If Satan and Antichrist were in control...explain those of Israel preserved in the Wilderness for...

...three and a half years.

Disinformation is a tool of Satan, not of God. He reveals precisely what He decides His people need to know.

Always has...always will.

Praise God for that.

So while false doctrine is usually mixed with truth, truth never cowers from direct questions. Truth does not come in the riddles of men who seek power over others because they make a commodity out of truth and seek to enslave men with their truth.

The truth is given out freely to all men and God is the Source.

They direct men to themselves, God directs them to His Word.


God bless.

 

I don't need to...that is foretold elsewhere. Zechariah 14 and Acts 1 for example. And how many teachings of Christ teach His return and continuance with His people?

Do we cut former prophecy from a balanced view of Scripture? Or do we include that Prophecy as Christ did? Placing them in an eschatological context as Christ did?

Who's example will we follow? Our Lord's? Or popularized liberal theologians?

Now a simple question: does the absence of Christ setting foot on the ground in Revelation negate His own teaching? The Prophecy of the Old Testament which has not been fulfilled?

Revelation does not give an account of the Sheep and Goat Judgement...do we conclude that is no longer valid teaching?

And I'll remind you that according to Christ...there is no resurrection in that Judgement. Unbelievers go into eternal punishment, believers remain alive.

The only Resurrection we can place at that time is the First Resurrection which, when we balance all relevant Scripture, cannot possibly be the resurrection of the Church described by Paul.

If we make this that resurrection, then only glorified saints would remain. And that is not what Christ or Old Testament Prophecy teaches.


God bless.

 

So...you're unable to escape a mentality that demands of Scripture?

Apparently you feel God is frivolous in what He reveals.

I asked a simple question. What restrains you, my friend?

Your Catholic Doctrine.

Answer the question.


God bless.

 

I would point out the popish tradition of those who seek to keep people from thinking for themselves within the framework of the instruction of the Holy Spirit.

They hate it when we test those spirits.

And we see what happens when we do...we are declared accursed.

There is nothing new under the sun.


God bless.

 

Why do you believe there's a Kentucky? Ever been there? I see nothing in the writings of the Church Fathers, which many popish men have submitted themselves to, that speaks of a Kentucky, therefore...

...it cannot possibly exist.




God bless.

 

Can you address the resurrections found in Revelation? I have described three. Will you show why that view is in error?

God bless.
