Scripture Fulfilled: Rev. 17 & 18 Predicted the NY Attacks!

Revelation 17, 18 | September 15, 2001 | Hebrews 11:6

[Exit148]

For a brand new newbie, you really have a way with words!

You came 'to post a question', yet the first two questions you have are rather questionable and your post, which is full of insults, has nothing to contribute.

I wonder how long you will last?

Sorry Heb.11:6, but this isn't even close. The falling of Babylon prophesied in Revelation 17 and 18 is a total destruction economically and politically that causes the nations to mourn the loss of commerce for their goods.

I didn't get to read this clowns reply(oh how will I live). We really should consider starting a school for disrupters at least it could improve the quality.

Let's start a list of all the events in the last few hundred years that have been "predicted" in Revelations as the start of the end of the world ...
1) The Hundred Years War
2) The American Revolution
3) The French Revolution
4) The War of 1812
5) The American Cival War
6) World War 1
7) The founding of the Soviet Union
8) World War 2
9) The founding of Communist China
10) The founding of Israel
11) The Korean War
12) The Vietnam War
13) The election of John F Kennedy
14) The assassination of JFK
15) The election of Richard Nixon
16) The fall of Richard Nixon
17) The election of Jimmy Carter
18) The election of Ronald Reagan
19) The attempted assassination of RR
20) The fall of the Soviet Union
21) The Iran-Iraq war
22) The Gulf War
23) The election of Bill Clinton
24, 25, 26, 27 .....

You get my point ... its an affront to God to use the Book of Revelation to predict the future.

[the808bass]

Did anyone predict before Tuesday that Revelations would turn out after Tuseday to have predicted the NY attacks?

No, of course not. The secret decoder rings only work on Revelation once events have occurred. (Don't flame me Xtians, I'm one of ya)

First thing to do: Learn the difference between exegesis and eisegesis.

[Illbay]

"Babylon" is not a particular place It is "the world," that is the "nation" of those who "worship" the things of the flesh.

"Babylon is fallen" simply signifies the overthrow of worldly, fleshly power in favor of the Kingdom of God.

Darn it ... once again while composing my own reply I miss a really good disruptor post before it gets pulled. My own fault for being so verbose.

I wonder how long you (carlspackler) will last?

I clicked on his name to try to send an email and it said "no current FreeRepublic member with that name" (or something like that)." Someone had a quick finger on the "delete idiot" button, so I guess you don't have to wonder anymore about how long he will last.

[Uri’el-2012]

Heed the warning. God sent His Son to save us. You cannot save yourself--instead, you must trust Him.
If you seek Him earnestly, He will find you.

This is statement is correct.

However we haven't gotten to Revelation 4:1 yet.

See this ! dailyChristian Thought Have you ever been confused by the book of Revelation?

Lookup !

1Co. 16:21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.
1Co. 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord - a curse be on him.
Come, O Lord! [In Aramaic the expression Come, O Lord is
Marana tha.]
1Co. 16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

While listening to airline passengers tell about having to land for an unexplained reason, it reminded me of the "Left Behind" movie and books. They were fun to read --- but they are fiction.

Is it Revelation? Prophecies of Christ were only realized after the events. This changes nothing but our perspective.

[Stingray]

True. Babylon is Babylon. Revelation is the fulfillment of Daniel's 70th week, also known in Jereniah as the "time of Jacob's Trouble."

Hence, it is about Jews and the Middle East, not about America and the Christian Church.

Wednesday Morning ... the most righteous and Christian person I've every known ... my Grand mother, passed away quitely. I have to admit ... it made me think of the Rapsody

[clamper1797]

And then I saw the Falwell was still with us and made me feel so much better

[Vinomori]

You can make that old Bible mean anything you want to. Where were you a week ago? All the religious references on both sides of this conflict are perversions.

[babylonian]

Idiots.

That's a turntable, right? I've heard of them. I work with a guy who's almost 50 and he tells me his Linn turntable is better than any CD player. But I've never heard a turntable. What are they like?

[Rockinfreakapotamus]

I still think John Lennon was most prophetic of this event when he said "Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday, man you've been a naughty boy you let your face grow long. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus - GOO GOO GA JOOB."

Note that "walrus" begins with a dubaya.

I like Nostradamus better than Revelation. I think it is easier to distort.
