Is the Apocalypse here?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The apocalypse is misunderstood to the point of being completely incorrect.

Basically things occur thus

Satan comes to deceive the people of the earth, claiming to be Jesus Christ, within 5 months (May to September) , the entire world is worshipping him as if he is Christ returned. Revelation through chapter 13.

The true Christ returns, at the 7th trumpet (Revelation 11:15 and 1st Corinthians 15: 50- 54) to find all of his people worshipping Satan, as if he were Christ. Imagine how hurt and angry he will be, that is why he will say to many who make excuses "get out of my sight, I never knew you"

Start at Revelation 14 and read through 16 you will observe the apocalypse starting around Rev 16:16. at the 7th vile probably also the 7th thunder, however the thunders are not given in the text. Satan and his army are about to be destroyed.

What are the three aspects of prophecy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each verse in the Bible has 3 applications:-

1. The doctrinal application (often prophetic)

2. The historical application, meaning the event actually happened in human history.

3. The devotional or spiritual application, which is the practical application of the passage to the life and conduct of the believer.

Many of these verses are prophetic. Bearing in mind that one third of the Bible is prophecy, and that most of the prophecies have not been completely fulfilled yet, the three aspects of prophecy are their fulfillment in the :-

1. PAST - partial fulfillment

2. PRESENT - partial fulfillment

3. FUTURE - complete fulfillment in Millennium

It can also be split into:-

1. Material

2. Spiritual

3. Messianic

For example, all 9 of the above could be regarding the nation Israel.

All prophecy is literal - do not spiritualize it away.

All prophecy relates to the 2nd coming of the Messiah [ie Messianic] with complete fulfillment in the Millennium.

Biblical meaning of judgment of man?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I Corinthians 4:3 “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.”

When translated word-for-word, the word “judgment” is the word “day.” From God's viewpoint, the age of Grace in which we live is very brief. Today, man passes judgment and sentences; he directs the policy. Man does sit in judgment, but only for a brief period.

How Many Times Will Jesus Come Back?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once. He was born in Bethlehem, lived out his life for 33 years or so, and died on a cross in Jerusalem. However, after his death, he was seen by literally hundreds of people as a new, glorious resurrected Jesus, who continued to appear to his followers - and others - until his ascension into heaven a few weeks later. He also appeared to St Paul later as a blinding flash of light. Jesus promised that he would one day return to judge the earth. Sects like the Mormons would have you believe that Jesus also appeared in the USA because 'the Book of Mormon says so..'. This is pure fiction and very heretical, as Jesus made it quite clear that he would leave the disciples to return to the Father, only returning again to judge the earth at the end of time.

Was prophecy in Israel a unique phenomenon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer 1
If you mean prophecy of a soon coming Messiah, then yes, it was unique to Israel.

Answer 2
This entirely depends on the religion in question, but most believe that prophecy was not unique to Israel.

Judaism: While most prophets came to Israel as a realization of God's special connection to the Jewish people, there were a few like Balaam who were non-Israelite and true prophets.

Mainstream Christianity:
Mainstream Christianity only accepts the Israelite prophets since they were the only ones who originally predicted a Messiah.

Islam: Islam recognizes that Israelite prophets messages were better recorded, but that there were numerous prophets sent to each nation on Earth to apprise them of Truth and give them the choice to accept Islam up to the point of Mohammed. Mohammed was also non-Israelite.

Mormonism:
Mormons believe that Jesus came to the New World as well. Also Joseph Smith, Jr., the prophet and founder of Mormonism, was not of Israelite descent.

When was Isaiah in Israel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In verse 1:1, Isaiah introduces himself as the son of Amoz and says that he is writing about events in Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Kings Uzziah (Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Of course, he does not say his witness includes the entire reign of Uzziah, but even the reigns of just Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah spanned 55 years and Isaiah was a prophet in Judah for at least 40 of those years, during the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE.

Isaiah, son of Amoz - also known as First Isaiah - should not be confused with an anonymous prophet now known as Second Isaiah, who lived during the latter part of the Babylonian Exile and was the author of Isaiah chapters 40 to 55, or with Third Isaiah, who lived in Judah some time after the Return from Exile.

What does 'You shall fear no evil as you walk in the valley of death' mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One thought:

Looking at the next line after this one, in Psalm 23:4, gives us a clue what is meant. It tells us that we need not be afraid, because God is with us, to comfort us (the "rod and staff" are actual items used in shepherding, to correct, direct and protect the sheep, so they well picture God's loving care for his 'sheep-like'(humble/teachable) people). It means that no matter what trial we face, even death, we do not need to be afraid, if we have a relationship with God. Psalm 27:1 tells us that God is the stronghold of our lives, our light and our salvation. If WE do our part to search for Him(Acts 17:26+27), and carefully try to do what He wants us to do(1 John 5:2+3), NOTHING can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38+39). This is why God tells us NOT to be afraid. He is with us to fortify us and help us, figuratively holding our hand to the end of the trial, or our lives (the 'valley of death').
