Compare history to the bible and you will find the Vatican led church is the one mentioned there.  If you look at the original Babylon you find a turning from God and it was made to be a god.  The Pope claims to be God on Earth, thus his title, Vicarius Filii Dei, vicar(replacement) of God.  If you take the title and translate it to numbers in the Roman numerals, comes out to 666, the number of a man!! Rev. 13:18. Look at history and even the Pope that just died recently made an apology for the terrible wrongs, (torture and killing) of those that did not go along with the Catholic church at that time so it is a persecuting power that has control even of the ruling powers.  It is not the people that are in the system that are bad but the system itself.  Get into a complete study of the prophecies around it and you will see the truth of what I am saying here.  I have some of my best friends that are Catholic and they are good people but truth is truth.  For a complete study go to:

Read the book of Revelation... it explains it all!

Not sure if its mentioned in the text but don't muslims think there was a split in heaven when Adam was created?  Something about Allah wanting all beings to worship Adam and Satan refused and led a revolt.  Some angels sided with Satan and some with Allah.  Those who could not decide were sent here as humans to make their decision.  Something like that, I'm probably butchering their theology.

That's complete crap.\n\nYou won't find any such information in the Bible.\n\nSeriously.  Ask your friend to show it to you.

The number of the beast referred to in Revelations.\n\nEDIT: Catcherintherye asked \n"Contrary to what others have said 666 is not in the Bible. I bet all my balls if you can find it. \nSource(s):\nMedieval Philosophy Class. "\n\n\nso here it goes:\n\nIn the New Jerusalem Bible, Revelation 13:18 reads\nThere is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is the number of a human being, the number 666. \n\nIn the New American Bible:\nWisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six. \n\nIn the King James Version:\nHere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six. \n\nI assume his medieval history professor was pointing out that some Greek Language scholars believe that the Codex Alexandrius is actually the oldest surviving document containing what is now referred to as Revelations.  In that document the passage reads "kai ho arithmos autou hexakosioi hexēkonta hex" which they say does not literally translate to 666. \n\nI'm not a greek etymologist and have no idea whether their right.  Most Christians accept on faith whatever they are told to believe by their respective church leaders.  Most non-christians don't care.\n\nI kinda care but realize noone living today really knows.\n\nHope that helped,\nArmus

I must say you have a pretty weird avatar.\nAs if I were seeing ........\n\nAbout the question...summing up the whole Bible.\n\nHow about this:\n\nJesus came in the flesh.\nHe died and rose again in the third day.\nThe same Spirit that ressurected Him\nwill revive all those who believed in Him\nunder the grace of God\nthrough His Holy Spirit\nThe saints to reign with Him forever more.\nWhen the heavens has passed away like a garment\nto the end of the world.\nJesus is the same -\nYesterday, today and forever more.\nUntil a new heaven and a new earth...\nTHE CONSUMING FIRE!!!!Refines!\nAnd Satan crushed and thrown to the lake of fire everlasting-\nHis saints will rejoice, whose forefather is Abraham...\nAnd God is to dwell in the midst of them and be their portion for all eternity.\n\nTo the Most High God be the honor, power, dominion and glory forever and ever. Amen.

The book of Revelation is a detail of what is refered to as the Seventieth Week of Daniel. A week being "Seven Years" in Bible terminology. It is divided into three sections.\n1. What is-or the church eras.\n2. What will be-or the seven years of tribulation\n3. What will come after-the healing of the nations\nThe word "Revelation" means to "reveal" that which is to come. The Revelation was imparted to the John the beloved while exhiled on the island of Patmos.\nIf you want to read understand the Book of Revelation, open up your Bible and read my study below. Follow along with it. The book will have many references back to the old testament, so get ready for some page turnin'

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

I think Revelation, along with other apocalyptic literature, is full of figurative language meant to say "God will defeat our enemies and we will come out on top!"  The figurative language is used so the enemies may not know that the book is about them.  Revelation, for example, is meant as a way for early Christians to tell each other "God will destroy Rome one day!"  If they wrote that down, Rome would wipe them out, but if they write about God destroying beasts, monsters, and devils, then there's less of a chance of that.

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"

The book of Revelation or The Apocalypse

It is believed by some that it will start around Babylon.  That is somewhere in Iraq.  Others believe it will be near Jerusalem.  I personally am not concerned.  Predicting the future is best left to those who wish to deceive or play guessing games.

I can't answer your question...However, I do feel sorry over the fact that you've had so many 'sarcastic' responses.\n\nI believe in time, the 'mystery' behind the Book of Revelations and the various symbolism,etc. will be revealed. God has not, however - given me insight into what this verse "EXACTLY" means...but like others, I have my suspicians.\n\nGood luck in finding a complete explanation on here.

You jackass. the verse (8:68) refers to distribution of spoils of war. Now, anymore FAKE KORANIC VERSES I NEED TO READ?\n\nWho's the one embarrased now?\n\nEDIT:I want to make it clear. This verse is not taken out of the context because IT WAS NEVER IN THE CONTEXT!! It's fictitious.

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.
