OK by me, no pressure.

Why wait until chapter 13 to be involved in the study when there is lots to reveal in each chapter. Open invitation to you.

Carry it on back to the last judgement on Egypt - death of the firstborn. It was the firstborn that were in danger of the judgment of death. None of the firstborn could be saved except by the blood of the lamb on the doorpost. Revelation 1 (5) and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the...

I did, but I can live with however you want to run your thread. Each chapter of Revelation can have a LOT of commentary and I would just as soon do a thorough study of each one rather than rush through them or jump around because everything in previous chapters will help in understanding the...

More about the firstborn and the connected dots to inheritance and firstfruits. The firstborn is set apart from others. Exodus 13 (2) “Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.” Tribe of Levi (the...

Ahh, I see.

Something that can be discussed is whether John is having a dream or was actually in the heavenly realm. I lean towards the view that he was actually there because there are times that he says he hears a voice and when he turns to see who said it he sees others things as well. Revelation 1 (12)...

I'm not sure how you see the 7 churches John is writing to as "complete".

The point I was making for chapter 1 is that while John writes reminders to only 7 specific churches the context of those reminders should be a notice for all churches to keep in mind. In other words, I was only making a point about the number 7.

Agreed. Some like to refer to the biblical number 7 with "perfect", but I don't think that can be accurate since the beast has 7 heads and we wouldn't consider those 7 heads to be "perfect". I think it is more in reference to a "united" front. The 7 for the churches would be for all in the...

It could very well be that the end will come at the 6000 year mark from creation since scripture does make a distinct point concerning the 6 days of toil followed by the 7th day of rest. Or not. I just don't know. But whether that is the exact measure of time or not I can say that scripture...

I know you do and I'm glad about that. It's refreshing.

Chapter 1 Rev 1:1 alludes to Daniel 2:28-29, 49 Revelation 1 (1) The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, Daniel 2 (28) but there is a God in heaven who...

Chapter 1 Biblical scholar, Dr. Sean McDonough, wrote an interesting commentary on this portion of Rev 1:4 [who is and who was and who is to come]in his published dissertation titled YHWH at Patmos: Revelation 1:4 in its Hellenistic and Early Jewish Setting. Here's the verse: Revelation 1 (4)...

Wonderful! I look forward to all the viewpoints that can be shared in each chapter.

Yeppers. The only context in which I mentioned contradiction was in the context of what the disciples and Paul had previously thought was the actual meaning of scripture until Christ opened their understanding. It's right there in my post for all to read.

Right, Jesus said to search the scriptures. And so did Paul. Paul was very educated on what the scriptures said. But just like Jesus' disciples had been guilty of, Paul's expectation of the fulfilment (the actual meaning) of those scriptures were skewed until Christ opened their eyes; which...

Unconditional to me means it is not conditioned upon your status, ie. ethnicity, rank, gender, etc. (neither Jew or gentile, slave or free, male or female, etc.). For the Lord also loves those that are not believers (the lost) and seeks to bring them unto Himself. Luke 15 (4) "What man of you...

One of my favorite parts was the spoof of Dylan Mulvaney at 1:40. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that! I feel like Mel Brooks has been resurrected. It feels so good to be able to laugh so hard at all the absurd stupidity of wokeness.

The Daily Wire's new comedy show about gender trans men entering women's sports. This is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 minute trailer to show Lady Ballers
