Since the vision in Revelation chapter 19 reveals only armies in heaven as participating in the warfare as supporters of Jesus Christ, The Word of God, it indicates that none of God's  Christian servants on earth will participate in the fighting. This is in harmony with the words of Jesus Christ at Matthew 26:52 that his disciples not resort to weapons of physical warfare. (Compare Ex 14:13, 14; 2Ch 20:15, 17, 22, 23; Ps 2:4-9.) The birds that fly in midheaven will dispose of the bodies of those slaughtered.—Re 19:11-21.\n\nHar–Magedon is thus seen to be a fight, not merely among men, but one in which God’s invisible armies take part. Its coming is certain and it will take place at the time set by Jehovah God.\n\nIf one angel of God could destroy 185,000 of the chief men and leaders of the Assyrian army in one night, how long would it take all the myriads of angels under Christ’s command to annihilate the armies of this world, even though they should number into tens of millions?—2 Ki. 19:35; 2 Chron. 32:21; Dan. 7:9, 10, 13, 14.\n\nJehovah’s people on earth will have no part in the fight and the destruction. It will be Jehovah’s invisible forces under his Field Marshal Jesus Christ who will come into violent conflict with his enemies and defeat them in a final, decisive war that will need no repeating. God will gain an everlasting victory, just as he did over the ancient “kings of Canaan” by the waters of Megiddo.\n\nSatan and his demon forces in the heavens will be put out of action, not at Armageddon, but immediately thereafter, when Jesus Christ hurls them into the abyss of deathlike inactivity.—Rev. 19:19 to 20:2.

That is a loaded question. One of the best ever. The Bible is so unclear on certain subjects like this. Look at how many cities were wiped out because of the sin of the ruler. How can we answer to God for the sins of our government officials? Hope that you find the right answer. I do not want to pay for war or any type of violance. Let our president and government officials who have issues, go in a room and duke it out. Leave our innocent ones alone.

First, I'm wondering how Jehovah's Witnesses resolve Revelation 14:4, which states that the 144,000 will be virgin (unmarried) males:\n\n"These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins."\n\nThis verse, taken with Revelation 7:4, tells us that the 144,000 will literally be:\n1. Jews\n2. Men\n3. Virgins (unmarried). \n\nA Jehovah's Witness once told me that these were "virgins" in the spiritual sense, since they did not defile themselves with the whore of Babylon. But John didn't say "woman" (singular) he said "women" (plural).\n\nSo if we shouldn't take what the book of Revelation says literally regarding the 144,000, why should the number itself be? It seems that the Watch Tower organization is applying a double standard here in its interpretation of the scriptures. \n\n------------------------\n\nSecondly, Wink Winkleman said: "The scriptures make it very clear that the Jews WERE, at one point, God's chosen people, but they were completely abandoned by God once they had his Son, Jesus, put to death."\n\nWink, I'm wondering how you resolve that statement (that the Jews have been completely abandoned by God) with what Paul wrote in Romans chapter 11. \n\nPaul, writing well after Jesus died and rose again, said this of the Jewish people:\n\nVerse 1:\n"I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not!"\n\nVerse 2:\n"God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew."\n\nVerses 25-27:\n"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:\n>  "The Deliverer will come out of Zion,\n>  And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;\n>  For this is My covenant with them,\n>  When I take away their sins.""\n\nVerses 28-31:\n"Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy."\n\nIf Paul is correct in saying that God will one day restore salvation to the nation of Israel, then why can't we take Revelation literally and simply believe what it says? The 144,000 will be Jewish, male virgins.

OK. I'm not really ready to do this but my time is limited this morning and I don't want to make this to long anyway. \nFirst: I AM an agnostic but I don't have a problem with God. My problem is with religion--almost any religion. \nAll the major religions in America are at war with each other. They won't admit it of course but the bible supports them. The bible is a book of war--Jericho is the first name that comes to mind--anyone who has read the bible and not just looked up a certain verse to back up their mood at the moment or whatever they have in mind right then should see that. Throughout history Jews have marched on Muslims, Christians have marched on Muslims, but then Muslims have marched on Jews and Christians. Each one splits into a hundred or a thousand factions and then kill each other. \nI will cut this short now. Read the bible, read whatever religious documents you prefer, then read some history books. With your reading, go back at least as far as the bible does then look around and realize that all the main religions will soon control nuclear weapons. That worries me--it should worry everyone.\nI do realize there are exceptions to all things but I wish we didn't need exceptions to make a better world.\nOh boy--that looks like a rant to me.

Because that "God" in Jeremiah 13:14 is the Lord, God of Israel. That "God" is not the same God who created humans or is it the same God who created the entire universe. They are all different. The Lord, God of Israel is actually Satan, the fallen angel. Satan is an alien from heaven and is obsessed with control and power over humans. In the case of the biblical story you brought up, Satan is concerned with collecting all the gold and treasures from all the people he ordered massacred. Reread the story again with this explanation in mind and it will make sense. Satan is still concerned with hoarding gold to this day. The followers of that "God" are actually Satanist working for a real alien (or angel). There is nothing spiritual about the mass killings of women, children, and babies; it is just, quite simply, a factual account of a greedy, gold hungry alien passing as a 'god' to humans who willing do his bidding in exchange for worldly policical powers. These Satanist are behind almost all the world events of modern times. But don't be scared, their time is almost up and they will soon be at our feet (Rev 2:9 and 3:9). And the creator God of human beings will be returning! (Rev 20-22) That is the Good News of the Bible.

Yes he is the messiah, there is a book called "A Case for Christ". That book can, if read with an open mind, persuade most people that He really is the Messiah. He fullfilled every single prophecy there was for the Messiah! Every single one that was written hundreds or maybe even thousands of years before he was even born! The chances of one person fullfilling every prophecy, which is in that book, is almost nonexistent.

That's a strange question.\n\nI think there are thousands, probably millions of people - of various confessions, and atheists - who know what could be done to bring more peace and prosperity to people on earth than any messiah did. It's all so obvious. Very simple things, just a little of common sense, a little love to thy neighbor, and a little understanding of human nature. Basically, no religion involved. \n\nUnfortunately, they see no way of achieving anything of that. Preachery is so unlikely to work in this world... Usually it takes many deaths and hundreds of years.\n\nAnd I think you didn't mean an omnipotent messiah.

Well she wouldn't get much done since not very many people would believe she was the new messiah.  It's pretty hard to overthrow the antichrist if you don't have a strong army of followers backing you.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... well, biblically speaking, God has destroyed two cities filled with people with his own hands, gave Samson the power to commit mass murder and suicide, and also gave David the power to commit murder on someone who opposed him. We cant get confused on biblical question if we dont know the history. I wouldnt say he is or isnt on our side, but to cry peace when thats no always the right option. War is a horrible thing, but it has helped us in vast ways. Getting rid of slavery, getting us out of the worst financial drout, and saving the jews to name a few.

Guy , you know our only god ( Allah ) told us about what is happening now ? and this is one of the Quraan's miracles  , Allah told us in the holy Quraan that during a period of time , he will give the Jewish people money and weapons and test them if they are going to use it in a good or a bad way , he also told us that they will use it to kill us , and that one day will come when we invade our homes that they previously took from us and kick them out of it , another miracle that Allah told us that the Jewish people fight from behind the walls....and here they are building the isolating huge wall around their territory !!!! so you should have a good faith that this will not last forever and that one day they will know what's right , God Bless Palestine.........

I see what you're saying. I wouldn't read too much into it, though. Perhaps Rev 18 broadly refers to the triumph of God over all who oppose Him. It certainly can't be applied UNIQUELY to the situation in Iraq.\n\nConsider the military base Nagasaki, that "the earth was lightened" (18:1) by the Little Boy atomic bomb.\n\nConsider also that there's no equivalent to 18:21, that a great stone will be cast into the sea. Also, that while violence cast down the site of Babylon, the Ishtar Gate, which once guarded the entrance to the city, now sits in Berlin at the Pergamon Museum.

This is not a prophecy for one, matts got that right.  And God never told Joseph he would live to be 85, He said, if thou.  In v16, this leads me to believe that the Lord is telling Joseph not to be concerned with such things, that he will see Christ regardless of when the second coming is.\n\nI am wondering if these are even your own thoughts, because this stuff looks like it came from www.exmormon.org.  Do you know anything about these people who write this stuff?  For all you know they are apostates that have been excommunicated for being an adulterer and become imbittered over it, or something else, and instead of repenting and working to be reinstated into the church, they live their life trying to justify their actions by claiming the church isn't true.  It is all biased.  It is worse than mainstream news.  How can you actually read this stuff and feel fulfilled?  What happened with you Brandon, that you feel you have to destroy the faith of others?  Isn't the faith you have good enough; you have to try to discredit others faith for what?  To strengthen yours?  That is not how to develop faith.  If you were content with your beliefs that would be enough for you.  What is this enfatuation with the LDS church?  It sounds like you might read this anti-mormon trash more than you study to develop your personal beliefs, I hope I am wrong, but is that what God wants?

You're just playing with us Jim; you don't want to nuke anybody anymore than you want them to nuke you. The real question is should we use cruise missiles to destroy Iran's nuclear reactor/s like Israel did with jets back in '81 to Iraq's reactor/s because they were making the bomb too?\n\nAnswer: No to the nukes, Yes to surgical strikes with cruise missiles, which I believe will eventually happen, unless Israel beats us to it!

Don't worry your little head over it, they said the same thing about 6/6/66. It ain't gonna happen, all date setting is useless. The Father Only, had this information, during the Incarnation of Jesus. He kept it in His Own Power & Devine Knowledge till Jesus returned to Heaven & once again took His Seat as God. The Bible says, "He willingly laid aside His Godhood, not thinking It to be something to hold on to. So He could taste Death for every man. Having done so He returned to Heaven, and we know Him no more after the flesh." He took up His Godhood, and now when He returns, He comes back as God Almighty. No man will be able to hurt Him as they did 2,000 years ago. He will slay 200,000,000 with the Sword of His Mouth (His Word) and split the Mount of Olives in two when He arrives at Jerusalem, after Armageddon is finished. Then the Jews will recognize Him as Messiah,  "When they look upon Him Whom they pierced." The nimber 666 is the numerical value of the name of a man who will become the anti-christ. There are 3 things that will be used in the anti-christ kingdom for people that wish to buy or sell. 1. His Mark (currently unknown) 2. His name (currently unknown) 3. The number of his name (666 currently all we know of the anti-christ) The Scriptures call him "the king of the North" "the Assyrian, the oppressor of God's People." This points to modern day Syria, it is due North of Jerusalem. Keep your eyes on Syria, I think the anti-christ will prove the Scriptures Right once again. By the way, God's Name adds up to 777 & Jesus adds up to 888. God's being Perfect Completeness & Jesus' being the number of New Beginnings. 6,000 yrs from Adam, 1,000 yrs for the Millinium equals 7,000 years. Eternity begins at the end of Jesus' 1,000 year Reign. God Bless, Pastor "B"

All things are in place for the 100% fullfillment of end time prophecy according to The Word of God, The Bible.  Before The Gog Magog War mentioned in Ezek 38 & 39, I believe that there will be a mid east war (Amos 1 & Isaiah 17) that will change the demagraphics of the middle east very quickly.  The likely soon confrontation with Iran; could very well be that spark which allows the roman anti-christ to rise up suddenly and confirm a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.  ... and there is one who has authored a 7 year peace treaty, and is about to confirm it by Jan. 1st at the latest!  He has come into power by Recommendation 666.  For more info, see my sources below.... those who do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior, accept Him into your life, right now, and don't delay!  He loves you!

You idiot! I personally know a bunch of Jews who were killed in the towers. One of them happens to be my aunts brother. And there were many more. What do you say about that?\n\nIt's true that there weren't as many Jews killed, and there is a perfectly logical explanation for that. First of all Jews are only 1% of the worlds population so of course the percentage of Jews killed in the WTC would be less. Secondly, the week before the High Holy Days the we add some special prayers in the morning called "Selichos", which takes a very long time to say. There are countless stories of men who would have otherwise been in the tower, but were late just because of these prayers.\n\nG-d loves us and watching out for his special children. The lucky Jews who spent a few hours that morning begging G-d for a good year, where indeed saved just because of that. \n\nAND YOU'RE JEALOUS!!!!!!!
