Is America Missing in Prophecy?

[BlindSeeker]

That's not an interpretation;that's delusional, wishful, and eisogetical thinking. In other words, it is a fantasy with no basis in fact.

Ever hear of the Bereans?

You know the ones who took time to reason things through and consider them before mocking it?

Sorry you still haven't learn to play well with others. You're like the kid who can't build a sand castle so he just kicks the other kid's.

Go ahead, start your thread.

I promise I will read it.

WOULD YOU GUYS PLEASE DELETE OUT THE HUMONGOUS POST WHEN RE-QUOTING REPLIES!!!!!!

Thank-you

As far as the two horned beast and the buffalo theory goes. It contradicts other verses of prophecy and doesn't meet the bilical criteria for the beast.

Would you please explain to which verses you refer and such?

(Seriously - I'm not "hooked" on any theory. So I would be interesting in hearing what evidences you have to say here.)

Why don't you start a thread on your perspective then?

I doubt you even read this one.

What's your problem? I simply replied to "Is America missing in prophecy" like everyone else and this is what I get?

And how do you know what I've read or have not read?

What's your problem with my reply?

Have you read it? C'mon, tell the truth. Did you?

See, you didn't address anything in the OP, you simply made your own comments about what you think . . . with no scriptural back up.

Since this is my thread, I started it . . . I simply would like it (the OP - original posts) to be discussed . . . that's all.

Gee, I didn't know there was a yardstick on discussing the Word of God. I'll have to remember that.

Come on guys, you know when you are being condescending towards your brothers. If you have any doubts, see my first sentence in this reply I'm a hypocrite. Just blame me and move on Shake and make up!!

Actually BlindSeeker, I did read the entire thread, and methinks you presume too much (but I forgive you your snippy answer, perhaps you had a bad hair day )

About your fellow Worthies reading posts, and your comment that the USA are the mighty men. That's an opinion, not a statement of fact as you wrote it. It just happens to be an opinion that I disagree with, and I asked you to elucidate.

You did this, and I still think that this is a verrrry long stretch of the imagination with absolutely not one shred of biblical evidence. It appears that other posters (and yes I did read them), hold the same view.

Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Thanks for the correction Profit, and forgive me Blindseeker, for attributing the Mighty men thing to you. But I guess I am "old School" in believing that none of what has been discussed on this post really matters to us. (that is what I was beginning to allude to in my replies)

Love Jesus, follow His light, walk His walk, and leave the rest up to God, is what I ascribe to. Who can understand the workings of God, and why should we drive ourselves dilly trying to explain the unknown?

What do I know for certain? Jesus loves me, He will return, I will sit at His feet as an heir, and worship Him in awe and wonder for eternity.

And I guess that truth is good enough for me. I live in His favor and grace now, and I will live in His presence for eternity. So why worry?

You're welcome!

Ummm...would you please answer my question, though. Which Scriptures were you referring to?

[nebula]

Thanks for answering, kaoticprofit.

But please don't assume I am ignorant on how to study Scriptures, OK?

As for the beasts being individual men, I have to disagree because every other time in Scripture, a "beast" referred to a nation.

As for calling the beast "he" rather than "it" (like is seen in Daniel), recall that in Hebrew there is no "it" pronoun. Hebrew, like French and Spanish, refer to nouns in a gender-format rather than neutral. Thus the "it" in Daniel is an interpretive translation rather than the actual Hebrew meaning of the word.
