[John 6.66=Mark of the Beast?]

Does it not say that all nations shall come against Jerusalem this would include the U.S. would it not?

My feelings is that our next president will be the one to come against the city.

I know that no man knows the day or hour but I have alway been suspicious with Mayan calender ending in 2012.

Many would say that this does not leave time for the 7 years of tribulation and I say find the 7 years in the book of Revelation and then we will talk.

If referring to the Gog-Magog revolution, that occurs at the end of the Millenium. Rapture, Great Tribulation, and the 2nd Advent, not to mention the judgment seat of Christ, rule with a rod of iron, and sanctification of the bride in resurrection bodies are still required prior to the Millenium.

Check out Dwight Pentecost’s, “Things to Come”. I saw it on the web fully loaded once. Outstanding even handed seminary textbook on eschatology. It does a nice, even handed job of reporting pre-, mid, post, and a millenial perspectives. Some attack it because it does present the views evenly, because they want to promote a personal religion over study of Scripture through faith in Christ.

"Many would say that this does not leave time for the 7 years of tribulation and I say find the 7 years in the book of Revelation and then we will talk".

That's a good observation. It isn't a seven year tribulation. Christ told us about it in Matthew 24 and Mark 13:

Mark 13:20 And except that the LORD had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.

In Rev.9:5 and 9:10 He tells us the time it is shortened to.
