Hey to you too! The Book of Revelation. Studied it for over 40 years. Was blessed to have a friend who was one of the top Bible scholars here in San Diego. He taught the Book of Revelation in people's home and they were always packed with people from various denominations. Even had cult members...

Understand. It is good that you keep seeking, indicates that the Holy Spirit is working on you. It will take me some time to prepare a response to include all the Scriptures that support the pre-wrath view. I started on it and hope to get it to you in a few days.

I agree with most of how you see it; however, still don't see an answer to my question regarding the 2 witnesses and when they are taken up into heaven if their ministry is 42 months. 42 months from mid-trib includes the entire 3-1/2 years after the antichrist appears.

Yes I did, sorry. Interesting, but what Scriptures are you using to support this view?

Sorry, but the Scriptures (Genesis 1:26) say that "man was created in God's image", not the angels. Angels were created some time before the creation of the earth to serve Him and carry out His work on earth and in heaven. There are many types of angels (seraphim, cherubim, archangels...

Hi Blain, thank you for your question. But my answer is from studying ALL the scriptures on this topic for over 20 years by some pretty amazing teachers, including one of the top Bible Scholars here in San Diego. You can pick and chose Scriptures to support your view; but you really need to...

Cool. As a retired sw engineer, I worked on Unix for many years back in the 80s before Linux was released. Now UNIX/LINUX are REAL computers. :)

Good question. I can see why you might think this. Which Scripture do you use to support your view that the "era of the trumpets lasts at least 3.5 years."? We know that Jesus does not appear in the clouds for this entire period because Rev 7:9, "After these things (after the rapture, the sixth...

Understand. Thanks for sharing. So if you are pre-trib, does this mean that you believe the entire 7-year tribulation period begins at the opening of the first seal?

Sorry Gary, but I respectfully disagree regarding when the wrath of God begins because Rev 6:17 clearly states that SURELY HIS WRATH HAS COME. Meaning, God's wrath started right after the resurrection at the opening of the 6th seal with a great earthquake which moved every mountain and island...

Yes, I know and agree with this as this is supported by the Scriptures. My question is regarding the two witnesses. Why are they taken up to heaven seemingly BEFORE their 42 months of ministry is complete? Do you know? Only way I can see this happening if the bowl/vial judgments are released all...

I agree that the 2 witnesses appear same day as antichrist because Scriptures say this. The antichrist then kills the 2 witnesses and 3 day later Jesus calls them up to heaven after they finish their witness, which is 42 months, or last day of the 7-year period. But, then the next major events...

Yes I know. How are you today? I have a question for you about the two witnesses in Rev that I'm a bit confused about. The seventh trumpet is sounded (Rev 11:15) AFTER the two witnesses are taken up into heaven (Rev 11:12), yet God's wrath is not finished yet with the 7 bowl judgments, which...

Welcome! You have a friend with me. What's you're favorite book in the Bible?

Hi, Retired writer/engineer. Just looking for other Believers to share God's Word. Saved in 1981 in the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in San Diego. Love the deep study of God's Word and sharing what I learn with others, especially regarding the Book of Revelation. The Lord gave me the...

My take is that the Earth was made special by God for the purpose of providing life to human beings to allow fellowship with Him. If there were other human life on other planets, Jesus would have had to die for their sins as well don't you think? And if this is true, surely the Lord would have...

I also hold the view that the rapture is God getting His people off the earth BEFORE He pours out His wrath on the unbelievers who are left behind. Jesus even said to His disciples in Matthew 24:22, as He was describing the events that would occur prior to His return. "And if those days had not...

Good question! The most common interpretation to these two passages is that John is overwhelmed at each of these visions and bows down even after he was told previously not to do this.

Acts 22:9 says they didn't understand it. He could not say that they didn't understand it unless they heard it. So each verse is consistent in that they heard it.
