with the martyrs in heaven crying out (rev 6:9) the silence in heaven for 1/2 hr as the seventh seal is open (rev ch7) cuz all heaven (including rapture saints) in awe of whats about to culminate on earth, plus the church witnessing the opening of the seals (rev ch5) and the command to rejoice heaven and all who dwell in them those passages are clear indications we will witness whats going on here on earth. is that correct nathan, or anyone who knows?

That may be so, but will we care? Maybe we'll be so enthralled with being with the Lord that, as the song says, the things of earth will grow strangely dim.

Joe Ortiz! I once came across his blog by accident – well I certainly wouldn’t have done so on purpose. It was just like a car crash, that’s left the poor bloke ‘prophetically disabled’, not content to agree with any of the usual views; he has made up his own view made out of bits and pieces of other views and created a monster.

Anyone who disagrees with him he is manically aggressive toward while using the word’s ‘love and peace’as he gives them a verbal bashing. I think he is supposed to be famous; well at least he acts as if he is a VIP? A VERY strange man that I wouldn’t like to meet on a dark street. His minions like to emulate the style of their role model.

I agree with DrNofog - axe to the root quick sharp, he needs no advertising

Sorry, In my haste, I forgot to include the qualifying Scripture...

"And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Matthew 3:10

Pretrib Rapture Trivia

Who's the "Protector of the Principality of Pretribulatia"?
Edward Irving? John Darby? C. I. Scofield? Tim LaHaye? Someone else?
Media figure Joe Ortiz knows the answer. It's in his "End Times Passover" blog. The one dated Dec. 29, 2009.
If you're Calvinist, you're predestined to see his blog. If you're Arminian, you can choose to see it.
If you find out you already knew the answer before seeing Joe's blog, you have a chance to win the grand prize which includes:
Sixty pounds of plaster for each family member.
An umbrella stand made from a stuffed python.
And 3000 yards of used dental floss.
Whew. What you miss if you're not computer savvy!

Babylon is fallen, is fallen... Not only is "fallen" repeated twice, but the phrase is repeated twice, Revelation 14:8, and Revelation 18:2. -- Why?

God doesn't waste words [I think He's Conservative at heart...], and many Bible scholars believe that the repetition of "fallen" x2 means that it is the original Babylon that must be destroyed a 2nd, and final time that fulfills the utter desolation that is currently unfulfilled in the OT prophecies.

I have seen a number of financial articles over the past few yrs where there are mega-bucks and construction projects that are flowing into that area at a frenzied pace... Who knows?

I bought into the 2x theory back in the 70s... I almost got nudged outta my seat at 9-11, but it just doesn't seem to fit.

I'll stick with the original, new, improved, extra-strength Babylon.

Son of Thunder

It depends upon the interpretation of events. What is called a rebuild is already crumbling and 'wasting', the foundations were not touched, they cemented brand new bricks on top of the old broken walls. This is poor patching, just like an old wineskin will tear and leak if a new skin is patched onto it. The foundations are weakened just like the chassis of a car after a collision, its weak and dangerous.

There is God's curse on those who try to do this. e.g. Alex.the Great and Saddam Hussein and sons. Early and nasty deaths.

What they call the new city of Babylon is some distance from the original Tel. Sean Osbourne has a new article on his blog.

Like everything else, we shall see my bro. :)

thunder
i`m not certain if i agree with you or to what point. IF....and thats a big IF it`s to be rebuilt it would be just one of its capitols. AC clearly comes from rome(europe) if babylon is rebuilt it would be his commercial capitol rome his political capitol and jerusalem his military headquarters (during the 2nd 42 months)

Jeremiah 51:26: No stone shall be taken from you for a corner and no stone for a foundation, but you shall be a perpetual waste, says the Lord. - New Revised Standard Version.

As of right now, Babylon has been partially rebuilt from the original stones. So that means this prophecy is unfulfilled as of yet, which leaves it wide open for AC to come along and rebuild at some point. And, personally, I think it will be literally rebuilt. Babylon was the original home of the anti-Christ government and religion dating back to Nimrod, and I think it will move back there.

2010-02-09T13:53:03.740-06:00

I agree- the bible says that Babylon will never be rebuilt. I believe the book of Revelation deals strictly with a spiritual Babylon, which represents a form of false worship during the reign of the antichrist.

2010-02-09T13:23:02.966-06:00

Firstly 'Babylon' represents the fallen world’s political/financial power that A/c will take over. (Like Sean Osbourne I cannot accept the Bible teaches a rebuild of ancient Babylon).

Secondly there is 'Mystery Babylon' that represents the world’s false religious system that the False Prophet will control. imo

2010-02-09T11:26:58.570-06:00

whether it is babylon or rome i donno, there is sufficient evidence on both sides so i simply dont know but i dont think it`s america. the reference to 1peter is rome not babylon.
