Also where in the video does Brother Bernard deal with these issues?

You mean the examples I mentioned? They are there, but man I would have to go thru the entire video to pick the minute he said it.

I am sure it was more than the hair.

That's like saying if the UPCI General Superintendent referenced John 1:1 he should take the time to address the Space Suit Logos belief.

At what point do you start addressing existing objections to your interpretation of a passage?

When I know my audience is troubled by conflicting interpretations or has expressed a need to address the particular varieties.

I just got to 7:00 to 7:14 and he associates working on your job, and attending a school with sinners the same as being involved in politics. Sometimes I forget that Brother Bernard is a lawyer. I'm not yoking together, or should I say throwing my lot in with sinful behavior on the job or at school. At school the students does their work, and accomplishes tasks. Just like the job. In politics I would be advocating things which I didn't believe in, or agree with. I'm going to keep watching the video, and when I'm done with the 48 minutes I'll comment some more.

Where does the Bible say a country gets "transformed into Mystery Babylon"?

The Bible mentions a country which seems to be the most powerful in the entire world in the end time. That country will no more be named "Mystery Babylon" than Israel is named "Sodom and Gommorha". It is a spiritual identification that those living at the time would know who she is.

So then wouldn't that mean Mystery Babylon is NOT a country but a spiritual system? So then Mystery Babylon is NOT "the USA" but something else, non physical, non tangible?

Rev 18 portrays end time Babylon as a physical and tangible entity. One that makes the merchants of the earth rich buy buying their merchandise.

So if some preacher shows up doing signs and wonders and tells you to move out west with him to his farm in Kansas, you'll be at the front of the bus?

If he comes with real signs and wonders along with what I would consider true foundation doctrine I will be at the front of the bus.

What would that look like? Will it be on Youtube? Or TBN? Or word of mouth?

Could be all three. Newspapers? TV?

So then you have no idea if we are any closer than the folks in AD 500 were?

Paul said long ago our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. We are closer but I cant say definitively we are at the very end time. If this is not the end time America may fall and vanish away and some other country may wind up fulfilling the role of MB. I have said that all along.

If those indicators I mentioned earlier happen simultaneously in my lifetime I will believe the coming of Jesus is imminent.
