if you really want my take on this subject....I believe God is in charge and thats why God allowed it. From the looks of it, God allowed Islam to dominate the middle east and God allowed Christianity to be driven out of the middle east. Either way, I really don't see what the dome of the rock has to do with the op. Get to the point please.
@WarminIndy...
Again, please remind us how the golden dome got there and why.
Please give us a history of the Islamic invasions, or were they simply invited into Jerusalem.
Can you even address in your own mind how it got there?

The bible identifies Jerusalem as the whore of revelation. Of all the places mentioned in the bible, only Jerusalem is accused of the same crime that whore ''Babylon'' is charged with.....the killing of prophets and holy men. Jerusalem is the ''whore'' Babylon. Why else do you think the city Jerusalem isn't mentioned by name in revelation.

Isreal/Jerusalem doesnt have much power/clout by its own, only by proxy. So how come you crown them as such an important figure, besides allies compelled by heartstrings and consciences and maybe business, what can they actually achieve?
I made an entire thread showing how the bible identifies Jerusalem as the whore. The pieces all fit together. Go to my profile and select threads started...and look for a thread on the subject ''Bible identifies Jerusalem as the whore''. Plenty of proof from the bible itself.
@ ImaFungi.... Where does the bible identify Jerusalem as the whore?

You seem to have gone a completely different way then what I asked for you in my questions. Do you have your heart and mind made up on these matters? Why do I think it isnt named in revelation, I dont know, why didnt they name it? Where does the bible identify Jerusalem as the whore?
So what do you think will happen? Between the beast, Jesus, 10 kings, and Jerusalem?

If the great city is the Vatican the destruction can be metaphorical, in the sense of destructing the religion/religious rule.
Other then that, im sure there are other great cities that can fit that rule over others, like where ever the UN is or something, or New York city.
Also is the lamb you mention in your post Jesus?
Huh?
Note, in the original Greek, 'gospel' does not actually mean 'good news'. It means 'preaching, with the connotation of a reward' . . . .
"for my name's sake" is what the King James Version says.
The Son said that his followers would be hated by the whole world, and killed because of his name! (Matthew 24:9 paraphrased.)
This is just pure silliness.
It is because of the Roman Catholic Church that the world believes in Jesus Christ.
Once you throw away the Bible, then it is all downhill from there.
. . . the real Son of God, Yeshua.

Who is your prophet that hands out this sort of nonsense?
What cult do you belong to?
I would suggest that you do your own research rather than drinking the purple Kool-Aid.
The Greek word for gospel literally means good news."for my name's sake" is what the King James Version says.
The Son said that his followers would be hated by the whole world, and killed because of his name! (Matthew 24:9 paraphrased.)
That is not the same thing.
The NIV says "because of me".
You have been sidetracked on a wild goose chase.
And another thing, the name of Jesus is Jesus.
It just isn't spelled like that in the ancient script.
Today we use what is called the Latin alphabet.
Jesus was a diaspora Jew who lived in Greek speaking regions, Egypt and Galilee, and did not live in Judea.This is just pure silliness.
It is because of the Roman Catholic Church that the world believes in Jesus Christ.
"Jesus Christ" is in the Bible.
I don't think your hate speech against Christianity is very productive.
Do you really believe that only members of your little cult will be saved?Once you throw away the Bible, then it is all downhill from there.
. . . the real Son of God, Yeshua.
You are following another path, one of deception.edit on 14-4-2014 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)
Since your cultish views are so far off in left field, and out of touch with biblical teaching (or just historical realities), you have no response to any criticism of them.
Since these are all your published opinions, let them stand, as a monument to you!
Like so-called biblical Satanism, where they just use the Bible in order to turn it up side down, and teach the exact opposite of what it says.
So Jesus Christ knew he was the false christ thats why he said he would be hated and followers killed? That seems like a stretch of interpretation on your part, like very much so.
Apparently, according to the Maigret religion, we will recognize the "real" Jesus because he will be speaking Aramaic and we won't understand a word he says because he will not defile himself by using any 'pagan' language.
Ok so you think the real son of Gods name is Yeshua, and can you tell me anything about him, what he will be like, say, talk about, care about? What does Yeshua mean, by the way?

God’s whole intention all along has been to create a nation of priests (Exodus 19:5 & 6) and this is what the sacrifice of His Son was about (Revelation 5:9 & 10). Read those verses and tell me if you get something different.
What's in a name? First off, the Catholic Church doesn't use the true name of the son, but a mistranslation of the Greek version. (You can check that out for yourself!) So the true name of the Son of God is NOT Jesus. But you say 'what's in a name?', so just as an exercise, try saying 'Satan' every time you mean 'Jesus', and maybe you'll get some idea of where I'm coming from.
By using a different name, the church is crediting a whole different mythical person with all the sayings, actions and teachings of the true Messiah. Can 'Joe Blogs' or 'Jenny Doe' (or by any other name you care to think of, or make up) truly save your soul?
Besides the Bible in John 3:18 says in effect, 'you're condemned already if you don't believe in the name of the Son of God' and elsewhere it says that there is 'no other name given' by which we must be saved. Obviously his name is important to God too! So it's not just on my say-so, which counts diddely-squat anyway.
Matthew 24:9 'Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.' (So I'm NOT making this up! It's there - it's in the Bible -these are the words of the true Son of God!)
What Yeshua meant was there was going to be a false Christ, 'Jesus', who was going to convince the world that he was the real one, but Yeshua's followers will know that 'Jesus' is the false one, so they won't worship this 'Jesus' and the 'Jesus' followers will hate their guts for not honouring their god, and will kill them! (Yeshua's followers are Israelites and Jesus followers are Christians.) This is all part of God's plan... not mine!
Anyway, you should get the idea now and be able to work the rest out for yourself...
There is a "new song".
God’s whole intention all along has been to create a nation of priests (Exodus 19:5 & 6) and this is what the sacrifice of His Son was about (Revelation 5:9 & 10). Read those verses and tell me if you get something different.
How is it a "mistranslation"?
What's in a name? First off, the Catholic Church doesn't use the true name of the son, but a mistranslation of the Greek version. (You can check that out for yourself!)
According to the New Testament, it is.
So the true name of the Son of God is NOT Jesus.
Maybe that is what your cult leader said but the verse doesn't say that. It just says to believe in him, without any mention of a name.
Besides the Bible in John 3:18 says in effect, 'you're condemned already if you don't believe in the name of the Son of God' . . .
How do you image that supports your case, when it is talking about Jesus?
and elsewhere it says that there is 'no other name given' by which we must be saved.
Except that it doesn't say that but you are just adding your own ideas to it. It is a figure of speech, "for my name's sake", meaning because of me, or their talking about him, for his sake. For what Jesus stands for, and his real position, specifically the Messiah.
But you're misunderstanding, that the true Messiah said his followers would be hated and killed - on account of his name'. Matthew 24:9
That is just a weird fantasy.
What Yeshua meant was there was going to be a false Christ, 'Jesus', who was going to convince the world that he was the real one, but Yeshua's followers will know that 'Jesus' is the false one, so they won't worship this 'Jesus' and the 'Jesus' followers will hate their guts for not honouring their god, and will kill them! (Yeshua's followers are Israelites and Jesus followers are Christians.) This is all part of God's plan... not mine!
Now I don't have to.
I kept the passover tonight, yes, I am a lady who hosted a seder meal and jmDewey will reply how cultish that is, and yet, this.
He didn't say those two things at the same time.
And Jesus broke the bread "I am the bread of life which comes down from heaven" and then "This is my body which was broken for many".
In your delusional fantasy world. Not in the Bible. You are quoting modern Jewish practice.
Then Jesus lifted the wine and blessed it, saying "Baruch attah Adonai eloheinu meleck ha-olam borei peri hagafen", . . .
Jesus never said to remember him by having a seder.
Yes, us "cult" members remember the Lord's death until He comes.

You don't need to be in a cult, you know.
Just convert to Judaism and have a good time.
