    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Hi there, So the book of Revelation, was the first book of the Bible that I ever read (in its entirety) and I have stayed avidly mindful of what I have read there, ever since. But something has dawned on me, over the years (decades now), there really is no accounting, for the mystery of the...

    What is your Christianity?

    What is Christianity? What is it really? Is it taking the sacraments, being sprinkled and confirmed, and dying in a state of grace? No. Is it joining a local church, being water baptized, and tithing every Sunday? No. Is it going to seminary and trying to be like Christ and then going...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.” HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: The angel now invites the saints to reason. He DOES NOT explain to us the meaning of the following verses. He merely LISTS...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” Point # 2: The PARTIAL beast (of Verses 8, 11-13, 16, 17) is THUS SAID to be “of the seven,” but NOT ONE of the seven.” (We should not look for a definition of this...
