Like they also say "heaven and earth" means..."Temple and Jews"...they honestly believe this stuff...

All I can say is , PRAY for them. The book of riddles(Bible) needs further "enlightening"...Theres just soooo much more of the "deeper meanings" to explore...LOL

Yeah right. Read the two posts that show detailed patterns that are far beyond picking here and there, proving that there is an undeniable divinely inspired pattern between the Exodus and Revelation. Comment point by point if you dare. Or will it be more talk with no action?

I'm sure I can find many references to "trees" and show how it might make some spiritual sense for them being symbolic of people. It's eisegesis. Most Gentile Christians in the first century wouldn't have the book of Exodus. People think they had a Bible like ours. They didn't. Picture the early Gentile church walking around, each with a big bag on their backs filled with 66 scrolls. LOL

No, it shows the error of both! lol. I mean, you are taking the KORAN to determine what Revelation is saying. What better way to confirm false doctrine? You base your proof on what the Koran says! Rather than go to the bible itself, which I did, you do something totally different, and almost blasphemous, really.

Wow, that is almost blasphemy to me. lol Hooboy. But if you want to go tot he Koran instead of the bible itself to learn about Revelation, feel free.

But I suspect you never even read the comparison in total. If you did, you would know what I am saying is true. It is self-evident when a person sees those comparisons.

Bro. Blume... my point isn't that we should use the Quran or the Hadiths to interpret the Revelation. My point is that like it or not... there is a global religion out there that believes it is their mission to fulfill exactly what Futurism has seen in the Scriptures. And that even if every Christian became a Preterist today... this religion will push, and push, and push, and push until they see what they expect to see. Because in our religion... we're waiting to see the prophecies manifest. In their religion... they are called to fulfill them. So, we'll be watching them fulfill what Futurists have been expecting for generations.
