hallelujah brothers and sisters this is where we gather in His name

so why haven't the others found the thousand years?

they are not looking for it

what are they looking for?

Jesus

so what is wrong with that?

they expect Him to reign

and what is wrong with that?

it doesn't say that

what does it say?

that they will reign with Him

so?

that is a big difference

hallelujah brothers and sisters this is where we gather in His name

so how do they reign with Him?

they just have to gather in His name

I love it when you quote the bible, can you cite the passage?

yes, it is Matthew 18:20 KJV

that is pretty good for a catholic

thank you, thank you very much

so whatever they do gathered in His name they do with Him?

that includes reigning

1 Cor 15[51]
Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,


[52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
[53] For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality.
We shall reign with him!

so how is it that you know so much about Revelation?

I ate the book

literally?

of course not

so what does that mean to you

when you eat something it becomes part of you

so are you going to prophesy again to many people

I am not a prophet

what are you?

an interpreter

with what authority?

just reason, logic, and history

how does that separate you from the others?

I use all three

so what book did John eat?

the Book of Revelation

based on what?

it has been suggested that Revelation has more than one author

based on what?

we can start with the fact that John uses his own name three times in the first chapter

that is odd

you will find the name Jesus in only seven of the 22 chapters

so?

John the Baptist called Jesus the Lamb of God

this is true

it has also been shown that Revelation was first written in Hebrew and later translated into Greek

John the Baptist would have written in Hebrew

at the time he did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God

nor did he know about the seven churches

nor did the person who wrote the earliest extant commentary on Revelation

really?

so the earliest extant commentary on Revelation does not have the seven churches?

Eusebius doesn't know about them either

but he does know about Revelation

right but not about Antipas

so?

he mentions many other martyrs

didn't Irenaeus say something about 'ancient copies' of Revelation?

Eusebius has him saying that

so what does all this mean?

the earliest copies of Revelation did not have the seven churches

really?

how else would you explain this?

so who wrote the earliest extant commentary on Revelation?

Victorinus of Pettau in the third century

and he doesn't mention seven churches?

he mentions seven churches that Paul wrote to

but not the churches of Revelation?

that's right

where can we find this?

here is his Commentary on the Apocalypse

so what does this prove?

his copy of Revelation did not have the right churches

so you think there was an ancient copy of Revelation that did not have the seven churches in it

Irenaeus of the second century mentioned ancient copies

doesn't Eusebius in the 4th century mention the cities that the churches are in?

some of them but he does not acknowledge them as the churches of Revelation

interesting

I think so

so who wrote Revelation?

we have three different Johns

who are they?

'His servant John' is John the Baptist

who is 'John to the seven churches'?

this may be the apostle John

so who is 'I John' of verse nine?

this is John Chrysostom

you can't be serious

I am not the first to suggest this

Good Morning chrysostom

Good morning Charity.
We had the most beautiful snow fall last night.
Because of the intense cold the flakes were large and fluffy like a blanket of sparkling eider down!
I shoveled until my fingertips were numb with cold then came inside and snuggled into a warm blanket.
The world is a most wondrous gift.

Good morning Charity.
Good Morning! to you all too.

Praise the Lord for this grand and glorious day!

Philippians 4:8
Meditate on these things...

Psalm 118:23-24
This was the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.


Psalm 95:1-2
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.


Psalm 100:2, 4
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.


Philippians 1:2-4
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.


Today may you be fed on the bread of grace and the table of mercy, may you know the finest of wheat from Jesus store house of riches and scripture.

It will be another day at the nursing, but not just another day, but a day the Lord has made.

Our nursing home days are Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and today Saturday.

How blessed and thankful we (Mrs Psalmist and Me) are to take Christian love, hope, comfort and help to those who are being cared for in the healthcare/nursing home setting.

See you this afternoon :e4e:

so do you have any scripture to suggest John the Baptist wrote Revelation?

we have bare witness

we can't have any nudity

I am using the King James Version

oh

we have John the Baptist bare witness in John's gospel and John in his Revelation

anything else

we have the reference to Lamb of God by John the Baptist and the fact that John did not know Him by name until He came to be baptized

so you think that explains why John does not use the name Jesus in so many chapters of Revelation?

I am not the only one
