Why would god speak to us, speak to 'us', speaking in our language so we can understand, and use definitions that don't pertain to our understanding? Why would god say 'seven days' when recounting his acts to men who define seven days as 7 days and be referring to his time frame? Of course he knows what we would easily understand and what would be a riddle. Why doesn't he just make it plain so we can understand it? I don't need a calculator to know how long a day is.

Revelation 20
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle.
But as it is, one needs a pastor or preacher or rabbi to tell them what the words mean.

If god is all knowing, wouldn't he know to just put his word down in plain english, sans the parables and crypticism? He should not have left room for man (who is imperfect) to translate and mistranslate his meanings. How could he trust mortal men to get it right? If he wanted his word heard, and not misunderstood or misrepresented, he should have been a little more clear. He should have known how future generations would perceive his words. But as it is, one needs a pastor or preacher or rabbi to tell them what the words mean. Men... It seems flawed to me.

I still don't buy it, because Ezekiel 39 indicates it happens before the Feast of the Great God (Armageddon) in Revelation 19. Maybe this is another instance of history repeating itself. Nothing new under the sun.

Man needs a teacher to give him the stepping stones to hearing Father on his own. After he has achieved this, no man is needed, but Father alone.
No man comes to the Father exexpt through Christ Jesus and no man has seen God execpt Christ.

Revelation is not chronological.

I see you are not in understanding of that in which I speak. My message stands.
Brother Enoch has seen Father, his face had to be frozen for him to endure.
Enoch was not apart of man, but above, just as Brother was part of above, and not of man. He was only man as you saw him because of him inhabiting a vessel while he was here.edit on 17-12-2012 by jhill76 because: (no reason given)

As I have stated above, Enoch is not apart of man. There are three different types of humans here.
Above, Man, & Below. Man is greater in his number, but, there are still others here, that are not apart of man.
As well, you are taking the words of another, and not firsthand from Father himself, or Brother.
You may be incontact with some spirit but I doubt that it is God.
Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4was caught up to paradise.
And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar.

No it isn't, but Ezekiel 37-39 is chained together so it helps give me a basis to work from. I'm working on figuring out where Isaiah 63 fits into this but i think that is Armageddon as the Ancient of Days shows up looking bloodied from battle from aprevious engagement which also seems to coincide with Revelation 19:11-15.edit on 17-12-2012 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)
Paul was taken into the 3rd heaven God is in the7the heaven so Paul did not see God.
People do not become angels Enoch was born of man and woman he was human he did not become a angel.
We know this because Ch. 38 says they live in safety. Today, they do not live in safety and the walls are present in the land.
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes
Isaiah 11:11
In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea.
Here is God's judgment predicted ahead for us to clearly read.
The Prophecy ... Ezekiel 4:4-6
"Then God said to Ezekiel,
'Now lie on your left side for 390 days
to show Israel will be punished for 390 years
by captivity and doom.
Each day you lie there represents
a year of punishment ahead for Israel.
Afterwards, turn over and lay on your right side
for 40 days, to signify the years of Judah's punishment.
Each day will represent one year . . .'"
(Ezekiel 4:4-6)
390 days Judgment against the 10 northern tribes 'Israel'
+ 40 days Judgment against the 2 southern tribes 'Judah'
= 430 years Judgment against the nation of Israel
Fulfillment
430 years of judgment determined against nation Israel
- 70 years fulfilled during the Babylonian captivity
= 360 years remaining in judgment against the nation of Israel
Where are the 360 years?
"And after all this, if you do not obey Me,
then I (God) will punish you seven times more for your sins."
(Leviticus 26:18)
"Then, if you walk contrary to Me,
and are not willing to obey Me,
I (God) will bring on you seven times more plagues,
according to your sins."
(Leviticus 26:21)
"And after all this,
if you do not obey Me,
but walk contrary to Me,
then I (God) also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I will chastise you seven times for your sins.:
(Leviticus 26:27-28)
"I (God) will scatter you among the nations
and draw a sword after you;
your Land shall be desolate
and your cities waste."
(Leviticus 26:33)
This is a factor of 7 (7X)
360 Remaining years of judgment
x 7 The prophetic '7X' factor
= 2,520 Years of judgment remained against nation Israel
360 day years for prophecies, then add the appropriate 'leap months' to the schedule. So, the easiest way to unravel this prophecy is to first convert this prophecy into days ...
2,520 years
x 360 days
= 907,200 days of judgment remained against nation Israel after the Babylonian captivity
907,200 days ÷ 365.25 days = 2,483.78 years of God's judgment remained
Now have another look.
606 B.C Israel taken into Babylonian captivity
- 70 Years for 70 years
= 536 B.C. End of first 70 years of judgment
+ 2483 Years Now add the 2,483 years remaining in this judgment
+ 1 Year Add 1 year because there is no "0" B.C. or A.D.
= 1948 AD! End of judgment against nation Israel
One problem with this though. How are the jews going to turn and acknowledge their offense per Hosea 5:15 to bring on the Zechariah 12:10 event? So during the millenial reign they are going to continue on thinking Christ is a fake? That makes no sense. He will not return until they say "blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord, Jesus of Nazareth".
