    Who is the restrainer?

    You did the same thing as @Revelation1v8 . Paraphrasing will not prove your case. Here are some basic questions you need to have answers to before attempting to solve anything prophetic: What does 'establish the vision' mean in Daniel 11:14" Who is the Daughter of Women in Daniel 11:17? What...

    Who is the restrainer?

    I know precisely what the Abomination of Desolation was because I have done a proper, verse-by-verse study and interpretation of the Book of Daniel as well as other books in the Bible. There is only one conclusion that can be reached. No need to. I have the verses to teach me, not man's...

    Who is the restrainer?

    Just a friendly reminder that the Abomination of Desolation has nothing to do with Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The Abomination of Desolation was the Crucifixion. I am not trying to derail, but it seems you and OP both are wrong on what that event was. It is important not to use false doctrine and...

    Who Did Jesus Pay the Ransom to?

    You offer another important piece of the puzzle. Jesus sprinkled his blood in the Most Holy Place: Hebrews 9:12 - Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. And once again, we have a...

    Who Did Jesus Pay the Ransom to?

    Interesting. It makes sense that the purchase would have something to do with what happened in the Garden of Eden. Adam's consumption of the forbidden fruit resulted in his God-given dominion over the earth being surrendered or transferred to Satan. The fix would then be to consume the fruit of...

    Who Did Jesus Pay the Ransom to?

    Jesus purchased the Church of God with his blood: Acts 20:28 - Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Who did he buy it from?

    Who is the restrainer?

    Excellent. You are bringing up something that everyone seems to miss. I am wondering if you did as well. You are absolutely correct. However, did you not notice the pattern? Prince of Persia Prince of Greece What comes next? Prince of Rome Yes, there is a Prince of Rome that is described...

    A possible interpretation of Rev 12

    Aw man. I wish I had better news for you. I downloaded the book and found too many things I disagree with. I don't wish to derail OP's thread, so I will chill for now.

    A possible interpretation of Rev 12

    Scripture interprets Scripture: Exodus 19:4 - Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. That would be the wilderness the Israelites fled to after the Exodus. Who is the Dragon in this context? Ezekiel 29:3 - Speak...

    Who is the restrainer?

    I believe the Restrainer is Apollyon/Abaddon, the king of the bottomless pit. Once he is taken out of the way, the key to the bottomless pit will used to release the Man of Sin.

    A possible interpretation of Rev 12

    After 1260 years from the time Moses built the first Tabernacle, Jesus is born. Thirty years later, at 1290, Jesus begins his ministry. Forty-five years after that, at 1335, Jerusalem is destroyed. Thus, there was a total of 1335 years from the first Temple to the last Temple. It was always...

    A possible interpretation of Rev 12

    Hello @randyk . I prefer a more chronological approach when interpreting Revelation 12. Also, I like to interpret with more of a 'Meat of the Word' meaning: Revelation 12:1 -And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her...

    The seal of God

    What makes you so sure that the sealing of the 144,000 has not occurred already? Ezekiel 9:4 - And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    Let Scripture interpret Scripture: Genesis 4:23-24 - And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    There is a subtle contradiction that everyone needs to solve: On one hand, Cain *IS* 'protected' via the Mark, thus he cannot be killed. On the other hand, Cain *IS NOT* protected via the Mark, thus he can be killed. So, which is it? Can Cain be killed or not? If Cain can be killed, then God's...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    I believe that the 'servants of our God' are part of the redeemed: Revelation 7:3 - Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Since I take the words of Jesus to be literal, and referring to Cain in this...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    Many people in the Bible were named by the circumstances, events, emotions, etc. surrounding the time of their birth: Isaac - Meaning "he laughs," given to Abraham and Sarah’s son because of the joy and disbelief when God promised them a child in their old age. Ichabod - Meaning "the glory has...
