This Is coming Soon [Spirituality & Religion]

The Prophesy Of Revelation 11

11 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. [a]And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the [b]God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also [c]our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations [d]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And [e]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. 13 In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The [f]kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was [g]and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

18 The nations were angry, and Your [h]wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of [i]His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Where's your evidence to support what you say is true?

Why ask me to show evidence when you, yourself refuse to show evidence for claims?
@GodSpeed63

Because i haven't made a claim in this thread, you [i]have[/i].

So where's your evidence to support what you say is true?

In the Word of God, where else?

@GodSpeed63 Hearsay not evidence!! 🤦‍♀️
@GodSpeed63

1) what evidence you do you have support THAT assertion? That it is in fact the word of god?
2) what biblical evidence do you have to support the assertion that those prophecies will come to pass soon? Also, define "soon".

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [c]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16 & 17

19 [i]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [j]interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but [k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:19-21

The Word of God

Only God knows how soon these things in Revelation will take place. For your own sake, be ready.

Oh i KNOW you didn't [i]actually[/i] think i was going to let you get away with that, guy.
You're smarter than that.

You're begging the question.
That's a logical fallacy, my dude.
The bible is only proof that the bible is the word of god if you first accept that the bible is the word of god.

You've just said that the bible is the word of god which we know is true because the bible says it is and we know that the bible is reliable because it's the word of god.

A failure of circular reasoning.

So let's try this again.

What evidence do you have to support the claim that the bible is the word of god?
By the way, you're perfectly within your rights to concede that you have no evidence but you do have faith.

[quote]Only God knows how soon these things in Revelation will take place.[/quote]

um....so then YOU actually DON'T know that "this is coming soon".
You just believe it's coming but don't know when.
You have no evidence to support that it's coming soon....

So when i said "where's your evidence" that this was coming soon, what you [i]meant[/i] to say was "i have none".

Well thanks for admitting it.

@Pikachu [quote]Oh i KNOW you didn't actually think i was going to let you get away with that, guy.[/quote]

Getting away with what? God is not a man that He's capable of lying. I'll take His Word over your word any day.
@GodSpeed63

Don't play stupid. It's unbecoming.

You may indeed take ON FAITH that the bible is the word of god.
That's fine. You can make a faith claim. Just don't expect it to be treated as anything beyond that.

Your [i]mistake[/i] was attempting to use the bible to validate the bible.
Do you understand?
You tried to say that the bible is the word of god by quoting the bible saying that it's the word of god and you can accept that it's correct because it's the word of god.

I KNOW you see the fallacy of that reasoning and that's why you attempted to sidestep it and retreat back into trusting god over me.

That's fine.
You've already conceded that you do NOT in fact have evidence that these predictions are "coming soon".
Now, by your deliberate avoidance of the challenge, you've acknowledged that you just attempted to use a logical fallacy as evidence.

Check mate.

@Pikachu [quote]Check mate.[/quote]

You wish. The game is already won by Jesus, I'm just praying He'll win it for you as well.
@GodSpeed63

lol i don't [i]wish[/i], guy. This is not an contest to prove that jesus and god are real.
This was a contest to see if you could actually make a case for anything you were saying.

You didn't.
You can't.
You failed.

Check.
Mate.


In other words, you have no support. Why am I not surprised 😁
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Pikachu [quote]You didn't. You can't. You failed. check.
Mate.[/quote]

I haven't yet. You're still alive and there's always hope for you as long as you're alive. Whatever you do, don't commit suicide just to make me wrong. It'd break His heart and mine.
@GodSpeed63

Sure, sure. Good ol jebus.

But you acknowledge that you've failed to demonstrate evidence in support of either the claim that the bible is the word of god OR that these predictions are "coming soon".

That's a fact.

And since your next post will not include any rebuttal to the arguments i have presented here, you concede that fact.

Therefore, if you wish to carry on the pretense that you have anything [i]approaching[/i] intellectual integrity, you will NOT repeat these claims until such time are you are able to refute my arguments.

Do you agree?
Yes or no?

They've already been refuted since you only know how to ridicule, mock, and act worse than a jackass.

Psalm 14 Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

Prov 14:7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

*sigh*

Nope.
Swing and a MISS, tiger.

Even if you feel that i am ridiculing and mocking you and even if i AM, that does [i]not[/i] refute my arguments.
That's yet [i]another[/i] fallacy, champ.
Ad hominem: attempting to invalidate my arguments by criticizing me.

You can clutch your pearls, you can pretend that if you are offended then your arguments are valid but I challenged you to demonstrate even a shred of intellectual integrity and you [i]failed[/i].
I challenged you to provide evidence for both your claims and you managed to produce evidence for [i]neither[/i].

So again, until you CAN refute my arguments, you will NOT repeat your assertions.
If you do, you will correctly be identified as dishonest.

Or you can keep doing it and i'll keep calling you on it and when you fail to offer a plausible rebuttal, you'll show all the people you're trying to reach the weakness of your position and the strength of mine.

Let's see what you choose...
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Pikachu [quote]Let's see what you choose...[/quote]

I choose to pray for you.
@GodSpeed63

Cool. Hope that won't end up counting against me lol.

But circling back around to what we're ACTUALLY talking about; I trust that you won't make those claims again until such time as you can supply legitimate arguments in their defense.

You understand that, right?
Whether you agree that i'm right or not, you DO understand that you failed to produce evidence for either claim, right?

Yes or no?
