The world will love the beast and follow Him and the nations armies will die on the mountains of Israel when God fights for Israel at the end of the 7 year tribulation.

The Beast came and went. Daniel's 4th beast was Rome.

Jesus didn't literally kill the soldiers with a sword. The sword is the word of God. And the birds feasting on flesh weren't literal either.

Rev 19:21 and the rest were killed with the sword (the word of God) of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword (word of God) which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds (spirits) were filled with their flesh.

Parable of the Sower - Mat 13:4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

Interpretation of the Parable - Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

The bird(s) in the Parable was Satan. The good birds in Mat 13:31&32 would be the Holy Spirit. The birds in Rev 19:21 were spirits or Satan himself. Not literal birds. Thus, there was no bloodbath when Christ killed the beast's armies. :)

MORE UNMITIGATED HOGWASH.

How can anyone read Revelation and even stretch their

ALICE-IN-WONDERLAND-SCHOOL-OF-THEOLOGY-RUBBER-BIBLES

around even 1/50th the contrary Biblical facts in Revelation alone—not to mention Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, the shorter prophets etc.

Incredible.

I never realized that Biblical ignorance; Biblical denial; Biblical blindness was so pervasive—particularly amongst conservative “Christians.”
