is written there or everything the writer believes. I do not even understand the
book of Revelation that well. Someone else brought up this subject earlier but
never finished it. I was writing on another thread that I seemed inspired to
quote a passage from 2 Thessalonians 2, which brought this subject back to my
mind. This is the article I came up with when I googled it. I have made no
comment to endorse it completely or the author. That is why I asked for comments.
But I was not referring to the author, but to the subject matter. I am not at all
interested in what anyone thinks of the author.

Originally posted by RJHindsSo you don't understand Revelation that well?

So you are not qualified to teach out of the book of Revelation?

2 Timothy 3:17
Good News Translation (GNT)
17 so that the person who serves God may be ""fully qualified"" and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
I once had a Catholic priest tell me when I had knocked on his door, to close up my Bible as I was reading a scripture to him out of Revelation, to not even go to that book in the Bible as he and no one else could ever understand it.
What? I almost laughed as he closed the door on me. Was he serious? He the supposed leader and minister in his church with who knows how many life's he was influancing with spiritual matters could not and would not discuss the book of Revelation with a 16 year old kid when I was there? How terribly sad that was that he would not even discuss or even take on a kid when speaking of the Bible and the book of Revelation.
Unbelieveable.......

I was not going after Russell. I believe he meant well. But he just was not

Hum? Sounds like your still judging doesn't it?

You might find the interpretation section found at:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01594b.htm
to be of interest.
BTW, "The Encyclopedia bears the imprimatur of the Most Reverend Archbishop under whose jurisdiction it is published."
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/
Which is only to say, the encyclopedia bears the same degree of control by Satan as the rest of the RCC. 😉
