5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for...

This is what I had hoped for ... I'm a happy guy.

Well, that's jumping ahead in this book and we're trying to take it a chapter at a time. That said, I think the answer to your question lay in chapter 12.

Ooops. I'm sorry. I inadvertently butted into someone else's conversation.

I have to admit that I don't understand your question. That is likely because we don't share a common reference point as it concerns our understanding of the Bible. You are a self professed Catholic and I am not so I'm not entirely familiar with the underlying beliefs that you have that gave...

Yes, when you follow the 7's you find no small amount of evil and/or suffering. Suffice to say that calling 7 the number of perfection is a little limited in it's perspective though it has been said in the Bible that we are perfected in our suffering, so, maybe there is something to that.

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; Though sevens are scattered all across the Bible it is in Revelation that we first hear of the seven...

... and, not to belabor the point but, 7 also harkens back to the week mentioned previously. I'm pretty sure God is trying to teach us something with numbers but, unfortunately, numbers are not my strong suit. Words I readily remember for a lifetime but, as a carpenter, I have to chant a...

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince...

I would suggest that all of God's holy days and ordinances are prophetic and imparting their teachings is their primary purpose. When we change the Passover to Easter, move the Sabbath to Sunday and trade God's holy days for our own (holidays) we rob ourselves of the ability to receive the...

Before leaving the subject of days and millennia it is worth noting that, at the time of Jesus's advent, approximately 4000 years (or 4 days if you're God) had passed and adding to that the 2 days spoken of in Hosea we then come to the 7th day or THE Sabbath God has prepared for man and I think...

Me too. ;)

1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw...

Some time ago I made mention of a previous effort by some of us here at TOL to walk through Revelation one chapter at a time. We did this at the behest of a 14 year old girl that was trying to come to grips with what many consider the most difficult book in the Bible to understand. I'm sure no...

A similar response to my unintentional faux pas of posting whatever constitutes an over long post would have been appreciated and acknowledged.

The swallows are returning to Capistrano.

As Paul said, we see now as through a glass darkly. That said, our experience here is no doubt for a purpose. I would suggest that to summarily discount the experience of others is to miss what they have to offer. Holding our thoughts and experiences up to the light of scripture is indeed wise...

Tucker recently had a very interesting interview with Alex Jones during which he professes to be a Christian. All in all I was positively impressed with the interview but at the end of it they exchanged a Masonic handshake and I have to wonder why they did that for the camera...
