Well, I guess this thread can close now or at least be moved to the Hoax section. I am also somewhat sure that the OP is just a created new account in order to PRAISE another member on this thread. Every other post is the OP PRAISING and down right worshiping this other member who will remain nameless.....but I'm sure you can pick him out. . .

I fully expected myself to think the OP was ridiculous, but upon reading it, I have to say...I like it.
Reminds me of some of Philip K Dick's beliefs about the Empire, VALIS, etc.
S+F, OP.
Thanks for having an open mind and for making a hardcore skeptic butthead like me think about such things for a minute.
Peace.

Pics or it didn't happen.... Just kidding. Well I thought that your thread was about an educated interpretation of the symbology in the bible. If that is possible I mean. The thing is in my opinion that the guys that wrote the bible were serious about what they were writing. The difficulty in interpreting it is in the imagining of what the symbology really meant to the authors. The book has been interpreted over and over again and a lot of the stuff has been translated to get the point across to people of different languages. I would like to ask those people around here that take the bible so literally one question.
How possible is it to take an idea from one language and express it in another language on paper and get it exactly right?
Think about this for a minute before you answer.
The bible has been translated in so many ways. The frame of mind that people lived in back then cannot be fully imagined by us today. You who take the bible literally instead of trying to imagine how the characters truly felt and saw the world are probably missing the point more than the OP.
OP, Your interpretation has come from much thought and consideration of the mindsets of the people who wrote Revelations. I can tell that you have spent a lot of time trying to get into the heads of the authors, and that you took into account the difference in perspective between them and us. I might not agree totally with your interpretation of the events yet to come, and how they will unfold, but I commend your effort. I believe that you are close to the truth.
Like the awesome structures of antiquity lost their greatness over time, as the more recent builders tried to emulate the marvels of their ancestors. So has the understanding of the great mystery been lost over time by us, in present day. It seems that we degenerate over time. What were great civilizations, have been lost along with their ideals. We think that we are the most advanced, civilized people that have ever graced the planet, but we are not. IN fact not even close. We don't even know what the real meaning of civilized is anymore.
Perhaps, this will be the last time we will have to learn these lessons, and from now into the future, we will live by those standards that so many civilizations have died in the process of learning before us.
Great post OP, it made me think for a second. SnF
if thats the way you judge me....again i can respect that

No, they have not. If you read Revelation 1 Jesus Himself declared that the "candlesticks" are the churches which represent the body of Christ. When Christ is handed the 7 sealed scroll the candlesticks are in heaven worshiping the Lamb.
your still in the old timeline...its happened already trust me! but i respect your beliefs!
im not here to force this on anyone!
if you feel its a lie then for you it is a lie
Are you a Jehovah's Witness?

Christ spoke more about hell than He did about heaven and the church wasn't "born" until Pentecost.

The church also put the bible together
Ya know, looking throughout this thread I have come to a conclusion, and that is that you're a bigot.

thanks....its sad that many people have been totally brain washed, and have had their minds stolen from them
all because of that book.
no one realizes that it is just a book. a book created by man for the sole purpose of the Judea Christian religion
its clear what the aganda is!
without that book religion dies...with that book most of the world dies
but you understand what im trying to say it seems

thank you brother
I am no wise man my friend.
If I were wise, I would shut my mouth and watch the world unfold.
I am a fool.
I do not know why I do or say the things I do.
With Love,
Your Brother
