I told you that you were preoccupied, and not following what was being said. This is not something new.
Oh give me a break... I follow exactly what you are saying... The only thing I am preoccupied with is trying to figure out what your trying to say...
You are basically saying that the entire bible talks in similitudes... And that none of what it says can be taken literally...
Then please explain why most christians these days would not agree with you? Why is it that experts on the bible such as Dr. Jack VanImpe or Billy Graham would not agree with you?

Revelation is looking at the day of the cross. So the mark has to be seen that day. And Mark the Perfect man only applies to one person, A Person who also is seen as the Lamb of God, and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Both seen as Beasts.
I dont understand how you can look at the book of Revelation and think that...
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near. -
Revelation 1:3Does it say the time has already come? No, it says the time is near, meaning "not happened yet"

The Tribulation is the day of the cross made as 7 days seen as 3 pictures which are also days, so He has tribulation 10 days.
The tribulation is 7 years long, and it happens here on earth...Revelation makes that clear..

If you don’t like fire, Don’t follow Jesus.
No, I like love, peace, and forgiveness... Thats why I follow Jesus...

Finding something very disturbing means nothing, How about finding something which goes against what Jesus had to fulfill to the Jot and tittle, So it is not opinions, but Scriptural truths.
I have not seen one thing that you have ever posted that I would consider scriptually true... I see what you think is truth... I see your interpretation of the bible... Maybe thats truth to you, and thats fine... But I don't agree, and I really find it hard to understand how you see the bible in the way you do...

Great verse, Matthew 24:24. NOW, I just need for you to Grasp something. Who did the Signs and wonders?
"false christs" "false prophets" hello?

If you think the Number 666 applies to the man of sin, GUESS who took the sin of the world?
I see the point your trying to make, but you see Revelation as somethien that has already happened... Well explain this to me then please..
so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. -
Revelation 13:17 QUOTE(Ken1Burton @ Feb 23 2005, 07:29 AM)
AntiChrist? Ever consider Jesus taking upon the sin of the World, and having rendered to mankind His righteousness? He became everything He was not.
So now you are saying that Jesus was infact the Antichrist?

A couple of Disciples wanted to DESTROY a town that would not receive Jesus, He rebuked them, Told them what I now tell many here “YOU KNOW not what manner of Spirit you are of, For the Son of Man did not come to DESTROY man’s lives, But to save them.”
I agree.. Jesus did come to save all of us... But God still gave man the choice if he wanted to be saved...
Why would God give us this great gift of free will just to snatch it away from us?
Ken,
You are over looking alot of what Revelations says... Suck as the Antichrist entering the temple and magnifying himself above all Gods... And the Rider on the white horse... What else? Oh how about the final Judgement... And New Jerusalem?
Hmmm...
