    Revelation chapter 20 - Gog and Magog

    Who is God and Magog? If you find they represent those dead in Christ and have been resurrected, then they are destroyed by fire (20:7-9), and then Satan, who was also brought out of the abyss would be sent to the lake of fire and never heard of again. And it that is true (which I believe...

    Revelation - chapters 19 and 20

    Well, I am now nlooking into chapters 19 and 20...... and even without looking back to other relevant verses in both the old and the new testament, it is extremely difficult to understand the timing of His return, the 1000 years - symbolic or literal, whether it is on earth or in heaven, and how...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Okay, I am trying to focus on these very difficult verses that, from what I understand, no one has been able to interpret. But I am sure there is no shortage of opinions out there. But if you are willing to offer your interpretations - please explain why they are who you believe they are....

    Revelation 17 - the Harlot and the Beast

    Okay, just started to open up chapter 17. I am sure there are more than a few opinions for the identity of both the Harlot and the Beast. I don't believe at this time in my reading they represent new actors to Revelation, so let me know your thoughts...

    Revelation 16

    I am now focusing on Revelation 16 and would like to ask everyone if these 7 bowls are literal or symbolic. And I mean that of course God is going to destroy everything and make everything new, but at the time of the end of chapter 16, is everything destroyed or to be destroyed as He describes...

    Revelation 14:1 What is going on here?

    Okay, I am now starting chapter 14 and notice we have the 144000 standing with God on Mt. Zion, or is this in heaven (Mt. Zion is the symbol here). Have the 144000 been brought up to heaven... I don't remember seeing that in chapter 13. I see 3 angels shouting a few things and rhen in verse 14...

    Revelation 13:17-18 (666)

    Okay, I am now at verse 13:17-18 which introduces us to the number 666. I don’t expect this is going to be an easy interpretation… as many have been, but I don’t think I have seen or read any that made any sense … but I have never studied this before … So, anyone truly interpret these two verses?

    Revelation 13:10 - the earth beast

    Okay, I would like to hear your thoughts on who is the earth beast in Revelation 13. There appears to be a number of characteristics or identifies in verses 11-16 that should help us identiy him... not going to be easy. Thanks in advance for your contributions.

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

A reed to measure..... measure the Temple, the Altar and those who worship there....but leave out the court which is outside the Temple because it has been given to the Gentiles.....And they (Gentiles) will tread the holy city for 42 months.... And God...

    Revelation 10:4 - Do not write what you have heard...

    In Revelation 10:4, John hears a voice from God the Father saying, " Now when the seven thunders [a]uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” Questions: Why is John...

    Revelation 9:1 - 11 Who are these locusts representing?

    I am now attempting to understand the 5th trumpet in Revelation 9: 1- 12 - the first Woe. Now this is complicated! Any thoughts on these fellows and don't forget to comment on what the 5 months means - it is repeated twice within these few verses. Thanks

    Revelation 4:6-8 The four living creatures

    I just got to Chapter 4 in the Book of Revelation and I would like to hear your thoughts on who are these four living creatures. There does not seem to be a consensus on them, and unless I am mistaken, I do not see much conviction in what they put forth. What do these four do and what is their...

    Revelation 1:10 - the Lord’s Day

    In Revelation 1:10, John writes that he was in the spirit on the “Lord’s day.” Some contend this refers to Sunday, some say it is the Sabbath, and there maybe other interpretations less voiced. But, just as in the Book of Daniel, there are few consensus among the many scholars, academics and...

    Silence in heaven - Revelation

    Again, just started to look into Revelation and just wanted to throw a question out there.... When Jesus opens the 7th seal there is a silence in heaven. Does this mean that all believers have been raptured into the presence of God and now the judgement on all who rejected Him would begin on...

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    I have just started to begin a study on the Book of Revelation. I came across an interesting prophecy in 2:10 where it tells us that some will have tribulation 10 days. So, does anyone have any thoughts on what God is telling us about? These 10 days were or are found within the church of Smyrma...
