It is interesting to note that Luther did not believe that James and Revelation were the inspired Words of God. Calvin also did not believe that Revelation was the inspired Words of God and wrote a Commentary on every book in the Protestant Bible except Revelation??? Since all the Protestant Bibles now include the Book of Revelation most Calvinistic theologians like Dr. Kenneth Gentry will never admit that Revelation is not part of God's Word but believe that the Olivet sermon of Jesus in Matthew 24 & 25, Mark 13 and Luke 21 has already happened historically or before AD 70 and that the New Jerusalem is a symbolic fairy tale.



JESUS WILL WRITE ON US THE NAME OF THE CITY OF GOD THE *NEW JERUSALEM*!!



Revelation 2:18; 3:12,21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it...And I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of the City of My God, the NEW JERUSALEM, which is coming down out of heaven from My God....And I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."



According to Revelation 22:3 the only 2 thrones in the New Jerusalem will be the thrones of the Father and of the Lamb Jesus Christ.

Rev 22:

6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.



So, SHORTLY BE DONE. It's not really shortly? I shall come to your house shortly but don't actually expect for for several more centuries. :laugh:



7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.



I COME QUICKLY -- Well, you know I don't mean quickly. I mean that I am going to wait thousands of years.



10. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.



Why not seal it up if it going to happens for hundreds upon hundreds of years? The TIME IS AT HAND --- doesn't really mean that it's at hand--- that must be symbolic, right?



12.And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.



I COME QUICKLY -- Psyche - Just kidding. You know I like to mess with you, right?



The entire book of Revelation is book ended by Chapter 1 and Chapter 22 declaring repeatedly when these things will be.

"Yes about 5% of Revelation is symbolic but Dr. Gentry claims it is 100% symbolic and it all took place in AD 70 which is completely ridiculous "



Which 5% would that be? And how would anyone know? Are you the arbiter of what is and what isn't symbolic?



Where is your published exegesis of the entire book of Revelation? I would like to compare it with other scholars.

Jesus said to John in AD 96 when Revelation was written: Revelation 1:19: Jesus said, "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is NOW {In Rev chapters 2 & 3 IN AD 96} and what will take place *** LATER!!" {In Rev Chapters 4 thru 22}!!"



2 Peter 3:3,8-13: In the Last Days scoffers will come, scoffing. They will say "Where is this 'Coming' He promised...But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness..

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with **HIS PROMISE** **WE** {Excluding the Preterists and the RC church} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.

Well, you make the mistake of assuming that my beliefs are simple brainwashing that apparently has an expiration date. The only one we've touched on here in a major way is "Free will", but my denomination is obviously not the only one that believes that. I'll start making posts about specific Adventists beliefs and you'll have a chance to point out the error.

Mrs White has said that there will annihilation of the lost instead of weeping and gnashing of teeth and torment day and night for ever and ever.However Jesus says that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in hell 7 times in Matt 8:12;13:42;13:50;22:13;24:51;25:30 and Luke 13:28.



Rev 19:20: But the Beast {666} was captued and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous sign in his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the Beastan worshipped his image. The 2 of them were thrown ALIVE into the fiery lake of burning sulur. Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them, into the lake of burning sulfur

where the Beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented Day and night *FOR EVER and EVER !{666 is called the Beast 36 or {6X6} times in Revelation}



Revelation 14:9-11: The angel said "If anyone worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on his hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury..He will be tormented with burning sulfur ..and the smoke of their torment rises *FOR EVER AND EVER!!" There is no rest day or night for those who worship the Beast."

I'll get to the hell belief in a different post, but just a couple points. I do believe there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, but I fail to see where Jesus says it lasts for eternity in those references. Also, the Greek and Hebrew meaning of "forever and ever" typically means that something happens continually with no hope of unnatural cessation. "The smoke of their torment rises forever and ever", but I do not see anywhere in the bible that sinners receive the same reward of eternal life as the righteous, just in a different location. Also, in your defense of revelation, take a look at where sinners are punished. It's in the lake of fire, into which are cast death and hell and the grave to be destroyed. It's on the earth. God is going to recreate the earth, where do all the sinners go? Or even where Peter says that the elements of the earth are reserved to the last day to be melted with fervent heat for the judgment of the ungodly? Is the surface of the earth going to be continually burning after God makes it new? Do you also believe that the devil and his angels are going to be running around in some big cavern as the administrators of hell, with pitchforks and tails and everything? Anyway, I'll make another post and address where I think the bible says that the dead are right now, and where/when hell will be, and how long it will last.

If a person is annihilated how can he weep and gnash his teeth and how can he be tormented day and night for ever and ever in burning sulfur?? God certainly has the power to put eternal hell anywhere he desires.
