Book of Revelation
If ANYONE worships the beast and its image and receives a mark…
Dr. Jimmy DeYoung join Brannon for their weekly Middle East Update. Topic: Jimmy DeYoung & John MacArthur both agree that a person can receive the Mark of the Beast and repent and be saved. Hear the audio of Dr. MacArthur explaining why. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/radio/audio/brannon-howse-aired-september-27-2013 I am going to have a lot to say about the irresponsible—and […]
The Beginning of Birth Pangs Parallel the First Three Seals in the Book of Revelation
Darrin objects that the “Beginning of Birth Pangs” are parallel to the first three seals in the book of Revelation. He writes, “Many antichrists over a long period of time does not equal the one final antichrist [the rider of the first seal]. Wars, rumors of wars, and empires changing rising and falling is […]
Are the Seven Seals of Revelation’s Scroll the Wrath of God Because Jesus Opens Them Up?
Pretribulationists claim that the seals are part of the day of the Lord’s wrath because it is Jesus who opens them up. In fact, just recently, a prewrather called into Brannon Howse’s Worldview Weekend Radio program with Jimmy DeYoung as his guest. The prewrath caller explained the biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s great tribulation and […]
Why The Present Church Age is Not the Millennium: The Devil is on the Loose, Not Fettered
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). We need to be aware that the devil is a force to be reckoned with—otherwise, why would James give us this warning to resist the devil? This command to resist the devil requires that the devil is loose. It makes no sense to resist […]
Four Reasons Why the “Armies of Heaven” Refers to God’s People at the Battle of Armageddon
(11) Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. (12) His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows […]
Ezekiel 16 and Revelation 17: Understanding The Great Prostitute
http://www.signetringministries.org/2013/04/28/1186/ An excerpt: Thus there is the need to break up the love relationship between Jerusalem and her “lovers”, the “nations,” the “kings of the earth.” God changes the love of the “kings of the earth” for Jerusalem to hate (Revelation 17:16). They turn on Jerusalem. It is God’s purpose that they do so (Revelation […]
The Major Problem With the Idealist Interpretation to the Book of Revelation
There are four interpretive models to the book of Revelation: preterist, historicist, futurist, and idealist. This latter model, the idealist interpretation, is probably the most common interpretation found in Christendom. Greg Herrick defines it as such: In this understanding, the contents of the book are not seen to relate to any historical events at all, […]
The Recent Meteor Shower Will Pale in Comparison with the Sixth Seal…But it Should Remind Us of Yahweh’s Coming Judgment
I am sure all of you are aware by now of the meteor shower that took place Friday morning in central Russia. Its effect caused a lot of damage and injuries to buildings and people. What caught my attention are the headlines that are mentioning the reactions of “panic” and “havoc.” This immediately made me […]
Why the Bowls Do Not Happen Within the 42 Months, but Happen After the Completion of the Seven-Year Period During 30 Days
Darrin writes: On the bowls, my view is that they occur within the 42 months of the reign of the beast, see Revelation 13:5. The beast is only given 42 months [second-half]. The bowls depict the beast still having a throne, a kingdom, followers, the ability to wage war, etc. Therefore the bowls are within […]
A Sound Method to Studying the Doctrine of Christ’s Second Coming
One of the problems of the blog format is that good blog posts can get buried quickly in the archive. There are blog posts that I have worked hours on only to be posted for one day being buried by other blog posts that took sixty seconds to create by linking to something else. So […]
