The Seventh Day Adventist church is in 209 of the world's 236 nations (more than any other Christian church) they have the second largest system of Christian schools 85 universities, 953 secondary schools, 148 hospitals, 354 clinics, they make use of 713 languages.  Revelation teaches that the remnant church keeps all of God's commandments including the 4th and they teach the Gospel to all the nations.  There are almost 4000 people joining the Adventist church second only to Catholocism I believe.  The Mormon church teach a lot that the Bible doesn't they say the Book of Mormon is superior to the Bible,  people are in heaven right now, baptism services for the dead, polygamy, no divorce, if you're not Mormon you will be servants of them in heaven, eternal hell, etc... I still haven't found a scripture that supports most of their beliefs.  Not trying to force you to do anything just giving facts, if you have any questions about anything you can contact me anytime. peace out brother

I am a christian and i dont belive that Joseph smith is a true prophet of God. Nor do i believe that the lds church is christian. Since they belive in earning them selfes in heaven. Just ask them, this is what they belive. There is no eternal marriage Jesus said there is no reason for it that is why we have a marriage till death do you part. Speaking as a true christian and not as other.

My faith, I do not claim religion, is in Jesus Christ and His teachings in God's Holy Word... the Bible.\n\nGnostic Gospels: \nA one-sentence description of Gnosticism: a religion that differentiates the evil god of this world (who is identified with the god of the Old Testament) from a higher more abstract God revealed by Jesus Christ, a religion that regards this world as the creation of a series of evil archons/powers who wish to keep the human soul trapped in an evil physical body, a religion that preaches a hidden wisdom or knowledge only to a select group as necessary for salvation or escape from this world. \n\nThe term "gnostic" derives from "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. The Gnostics believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name. (Huxley coined "agnosticism" on the basis that all knowledge must be based on reason. We cannot rationally claim to have access to knowledge that is beyond the powers of the intellect.)

The virgins represent the individual brides (people)who will be ready for the bridegroom ( Jesus) when he is ready to rapture his church.

I knew I was ready to marry my wife when I knew that we could work through anything that came our way. Love is more than just a feeling. Sometimes the feeling isn't there, but the commitment to stay faithful until death still is. I would recommend a book that was actually intended to help people understand the Bible better. It's called "The Four Loves" and is written by C.S. Lewis. It explores the four Greek words that are translated "love" in the Bible. If you can honestly say that you have all four of those loves for one person, then you know that you have found true love.

Well,\n\nIt is a mystical revelation.\n\nReligion is not the word used...as religions are viewed as man-made.  Rastafari is the Life.  Living naturally as we are meant.  Accepting the ways of nature.\n\nIn Jamaica, in the 1930s three preachers separately came to the same conclusion after studying Christian prophecy and watching world events...they found the Coronation of Emperor Haile Sellassie I of Ethiopia as the fulfillment of Revelations.  In short, that Christ shall return upon the Throne of David and shall be called King of Kings-Lord of Lords- Conquering Lion of The Tribe of Judah.  And that nations shall come and bow in recognition (there were delegates from 52 nations at the Coronation).\n\nThen war will be waged agianst him...(Moussolini invaded 1936) leading to world war Armageddon.  (World war 2-Cold wars-Globilization-Still an ongoing struggle)\n\nI can go on and on...but basically that's how it took form in this time.\n\nMany grow there locks as a vow similar to the Nazarite in Numbers ch. 6.  Physical and financial separation from Babylon (rule of man) is valued.\n\nHerbs (all herbs) are medicinal and spiritual offerings and used in many forms.  (but not all smoke..not all grow locks)\n\nDifferent 'houses' have come about...mainly Nyabhinghi, Bobo Ashanti, and Twelve Tribes of Isreal...but many do not ascribe to any denomination.   \n\nRastafari is for anyone who accepts.  Africa is seen as the physical and spiritual home of all man-kind and Ethiopia is the rallying point for world unity (beginning with African unity).  Thus fighting against colonialism in all its forms is essential.\n\nThis answer is pretty generic...there is much more to it...let me refer to other sources...\n\nHere is probably the best link:\n\nhttp://web.syr.edu/~affellem/\n\nRas Adam's page has a lot of good links, information, pictures and music too\n\nFeel free to add any more questions...\n\nPeace & Blessings!

After reading all the answers before mine, I am amazed at the people who answer this question without any knowledge of the Bible at all.  How can you answer without ever reading, let alone studying, the Bible?  It's downright dangerous and reveals ones ignorance.  This text is clearly Nostradamus.  It is not in the Bible, and the book of Revelation (the last book in the Bible) is a symbolic book of eschatology (end times). It was written by the Apostle John while exiled on the the Island of Patamos, NOT John the Baptist!\n\nAccording to Nostradamus the Eagle represents the United States and the Bear is Russia.  The quatrains have proved unreliable since most all of the interpretations and predicted dates have gone by as false and unfulfilled.

Um...  not sure if this is helpful, but there are repeated references to God, however there are still references to fate and wyrd, remnants of the old anglo-saxon relgion.  This is important because it indicates that the culture is in a shift between the two religions and/or that the story dates from the pre-christian era, and has simply been retold for christian audiences.

Christianity is a religion.

Revelation 12:11. (A Google search or a concordance would have helped you, too.)

No.\nTypically, the OT book of Daniel is associated with the NT book of Revelation.

There's a lot of it in Revelation (1:4, 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22).\n\nThis sort of thing is easy to find on any of the good Bible search sites like biblegateway and others.

Possibly, yes.  Many historical events which took place in the Bible foreshadow future events.  (See Romans 15:4)\n\nPerhaps the wedding of Issac and Rebekah can be likened to the upcoming marraige of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and his wife, the 144,000 humans who will reside in heaven as rulers over the new earth, as is foretold in Revelation 19:6-8.

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'

Jehovah's Witnesses look to the bible itself as the source of their teachings. This passage from Revelation seems to proceed directly from a description of Armageddon to a description of Christ's Millennial Rule.\n\n(Revelation 19:11-20:6) And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. 12 His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, 13 and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God. 14 Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. 17 I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: “Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, 18 that YOU may eat the fleshy parts of kings and the fleshy parts of military commanders and the fleshy parts of strong men and the fleshy parts of horses and of those seated upon them, and the fleshy parts of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.” 19 And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them. 20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while. 4 And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/article_04.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/lmn/article_10.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/dg/article_10.htm\n\n\nFollowup to additional question:\n\nChrist is and becomes a King in more than one sense.\n\nChrist became a king immediately upon his death, but only of the Kingdom of the son of his love (the Christian congregation).\n(Colossians 1:13-14) He [Christ Jesus] delivered us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 by means of whom we have our release by ransom,
