Which is why we must answer the questions I have asked of you. None of us are perfect in all we believe, but we at least must try to deal with ALL the evidence and not cast aside some of it. My conclusion has taken into consideration things that it does not seem you are able to answer with any alternative explanation.
Good! But why do you not acknowledge the details about Zech 4 and Rev 11?
I could really care less who you pay your tithes to or if you agree with me or not. I am only trying to indicate in my feeble attempts that we have to deal with the overall prophecy and not stop short of it at parts we care not to look at.
I see strong precedent for seeing symbolism in the entire book where visions are concerned since Rev 1:1 says the information is signified. In fact, I provided some thoughts as to how Revelation MUST be considered symbolic in this thread: http://apostolicfriendsforum.com/showthread.php?t=29391
I would be interested in your thoughts of what I presented, whether you agree or not. |
Brother Blume, I read through your thread on revelation, and while I agree that there are parallels in the OT. You didn't provide any evidence that the events in Rev were already fulfilled or not in the future.
I read through
Zech 4 and I see the 2 olive trees and references to the temple, but I don't see any verse that would cause me to interpret rev 11 as being a past event. Just because there are OT references, doesn't mean Rev has already been fulfilled. I don't see the connection or evidence for that in the OT references.
