Similaries between the two "end times"

At the end of the Millennial kingdom, I'd suspect that the approach of the loosing of Satan, when he's allowed to deceive the nations, and the actual events will look alot like what believers of pre-millennialism have imagined will happen leading up to and during the "Great Tribulation". It'll be like the joke about the jew and christian who ask Messiah if this is his first or second coming.

If we are in the Millennial Kingdom, the noticeable difference is that there will be no rapture until after Satan is defeated. We [or our descendants] will be here watching the whole debacle unfold. At that time the pre-millennialists may need some encouragement as they may be tempted to doubt their faith in Christ because of faulty eschatology.


I wonder if after the rapture finally does happen, they'd be reminded of these words...

Rev22:6 And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true "; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. 7 "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book. "

Will John be asking "how much more clearer could I have been than ' must soon take place '?"

Hello again DP and all,

I pose to you and others that the meaning of these ancient texts have been lost on those confused by the assertions of religious leaders and founders. Ancient wisdom has been purposely recast and obfuscated into religion and mysticism. Consequently, the interpretations presented about the sources and meaning of these texts and the philosophy and cosmology of ancient Hebrew sages is completely wrong. Before you scoff and write me off, you should understand that I speak from personal experience...

Understanding the Fatal Flaws in Judeo-Christian-Islamic Prophecy

Remember the saying that "the truth will set you (and others) free?" How does "opening one's eyes to the truth" relate to "making the blind see again" or "shining the light" or "illuminating a subject?" Notice the inherent symbolism associated with this supposed New Testament "miracle?"

As certain world leaders strive to instigate a fabricated "battle of Armageddon," it is vital to understand and spread the truth about these ancient texts to help bring about an end to such abominable evil. You can never expect philosophies based on lies and great error to lead to peace and harmony. How many more millennia of terrible proof is necessary before humanity finally gets a clue that most have been utterly deceived by the very concept of religion.

Without it, Bush, the Neo-Cons, and their cohorts could never have gained and retained political power by manipulating an already deluded and susceptible constituency. Likewise, their thinly veiled partners in crime, Bin Laden and his ilk, could never have succeeded in their roles in this centuries-old Vatican-led grand deception.

We are all trapped by a web of deception formed by money, religion, and politics. The great evils that bedevil us all will never cease until humanity finally awakens, shakes off these strong delusions, and forges a new path to the future.
