Did you say something....no, I did not think so....which deep water port does Jerusalem have? How have the merchants that trade by sea been made rich by Jerusalem? What ships do they sit on and refuse to help for fear of her torment when she gets nuked? What stock market doe she have that sets the financial pulse of the world? As a matter of fact when you can APPLY every characteristic found in Revelation to Jerusalem then and only then can you identify BABYLON, that MEGA CITY, where the Kings of the earth meet...until then you have nothing but fluff.....!
And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
You must think everyone is stupid....the above enlarged quote is found NO where in scripture and you are MIXING and CONFLATING two verses together to prove a point which is NOT provable....take your own advice in the underlined section....
Revelation 11:8 (NASB)
8 And their dead bodies
will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:8 (YLT)
8 and their dead bodies
are upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified,)
Yes it is part of the prophecy about the Two Witnesses.
But that Great City, has no SEAPORT, that will cause all the owners of Ships to Mourn. IT CANNOT BE THE SAME CITY.
Revelation 18:10-19 (NASB)
10 standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
11 "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her,
because no one buys their cargoes any more—
12
cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every
kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article
made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble,
13 and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and
cargoes of horses and
chariots and slaves and human lives.
14 "The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and
men will no longer find them.
15 "The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
17 for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!' And
every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance,
18 and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What
city is like the great city?'
19 "And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which
all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
No matter how hard you try, THE DESRIPTION, defies the interpretation that it is Jerusalem.
I also figured out that Chariots, can be miltary vehicles, such as Tanks, Strykers, APCs, Cougar 4x4 MRAP, and any vehicle that carry troops into battle, AND SLAVES, can be the TROOPS, during a MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE, such as the Selective Service DRAFT.
Cougar 4x4 MRAP
NOW WHEN THOSE VEHICLES ARE SOLD TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES, HOW DO YOU SUPPORT THEY ARE TRANSPORT TO THAT FOREIGN COUNTRY?
