No problem, I understand, just trying to catch two opposing views and question their own equals in stuff.

There is a reason for that, we are told it is in a specific geographic region. Please pay close attention to what Daniel says and what he refers to as "the Beasts from the Sea."

Dan 7 (Truncated for effect):

[SUP]3 [/SUP]And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. [SUP]4 [/SUP]The first was like a lion... [SUP]5 [/SUP]“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear...

[SUP]6 [/SUP]“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard...

Where does John say the Beast of the Sea comes from (Rev 13:2)

And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea... [SUP]2 [/SUP]Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.

Surely you can see a perfect match?? What region is this?
Pay attention....4th and final beast made up of all previous 3 beasts (lion, bear, leopard)= world wide beast. (Rev 13)

Daniel 7:23[SUP]23 [/SUP]Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."

Like I said, it's global. Peace

I believe Plainword said,

"It is not global at the start. It starting right where John says it would!!"

Rev 18:12-13 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Why would
wine= oil

When
wine and oil can be shown separately?

I dont get it
Her wine is not crude oil. LOL It's the wine of her fornication=ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. :)

Revelation 17:2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Hey... "Im asking the questions here"!

Im starting to learn the importance of naming whose name, now scurry along, I need PlainWords answer for oil= wine when obviously the scriptures can name both.

I didnt think you could get drunk on heating fuel anyway, but I have to ask lol

The focus from the start has always been around Israel and Jerusalem and the surrounding nations. But he is implying this.....

Plainword said "Once you understand that the "SEA" is the Northern Islamic Group and that the "Earth" is the Southern Islamic Groups then you can understand that we are talking about a regional conflict which does spill over in the form of terrorism, but most of Revelation is regional. The Earth is NOT the whole world. Daniel discusses the King of the North and South which John calls "Sea" and "Earth" in Rev 13. The North (SEA) wishes to impose its radical form of Islam on the moderates to the South (Earth).

[ end quote]

The sea in scripture is usually symbolic of "all nations, peoples and tongues"= many waters= global... not just the middle east area. :)

Naw His son had a Remote truck and put the gas in an empty beer bottled and his dad turned it up not knowing it was gasoline.
Youve gotta be kidding me as soon as that touches your lips you would vomit, but a whole pint?

My sister would tell me her and her best freind got drunk on the fumes of gas (when we were young and stupid) by sniffing gasoline in the dirtbikes they would ride.

Maybe scripts mean drunk on the fumes of the oil of the wine of my wrath, or somethin; like that? lol

He guzzled his beer and turned up the bottle of gasoline and guzzled it. I'm not kidding or making a joke. We tried to get him to the hosdpital but he refused. But after two days He was okay. You know if you eat Margin its its the same as drinking gasoline. It comes from the same stuff crude oil.

I think context dictates they are different.....and it is listed in the merchandise which means exactly that..it is a commodity....what product more than anything on the planet keeps the industrial, mechanical revolution and world moving.....just a thought to ponder.......

The MERCHANTS of the earth that trade by sea are made rich by HER.......What country purchases more than most of the world and most things have to be shipped there by the sea in massive cargo container ships.....just a thought to ponder

What City on the planet sets the pace for the rest of the world when it comes to monetary value, trade, markets etc....just a thought to ponder....

You know I was In Australia for 51 days over the last 4-5 months......their money as well as the rest of the currencies of the world fluctuated every day based upon which currency and market? Just a thought to ponder.......

and on and on and on

I agree with you on stressing the merchants. The thing is that the scriptures can put a difference between oil and wine in respects to merchandise, so why not rather say, drunk or intoxicated with the oil of her fornication or something like that?

Know what I mean jelly bean?
