RE>>Brian, the Churches of Revelation existed when John wrote Revelation. Today, the Churches no longer exist. I don't understand how somw will apply those Churches to our present day Churches. << That is Utterly Correct and furthers my point concerning "Principle" rather than Specific interpretation. While the verse were very "specifically" direct at very "REAL" and present churches even in the order that one would visit them on a physical journey. Those "Churches" have helped me to deal with the reality of what I must live within. I do not like dealing with a Church that is less than Perfect! I would have hoped that Jesus would have declared in " Principle" that they were not even churches and need not be suffered but no Jesus ...being the Savior of sinful men ..leaned way over and called them Churches Don't you just hate that ? RE>>The Angel had John "measure" the diminsions of the literal Temple of Herod. << John admitted he was "in the spirit" so the fact that he "measured" the temple means nothing concerning the actual physical standing thereof. The real meaning is to be found in the "measurements" Was that not what God Himself pointed out? RE>>I believe that this was God's intent to use Josephus as the "witness" to tell what happened. << Yes , God did use Joe to be a witness...likely the only witness that will convince men these days of just how awful that judgement was. Today people think the Holocaust in Germany was the worst... that was child's play! Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. RE>>. Have you read the passages about the Apocalypse by Josephus?<< To be honest "NO" but I have some friends who did and they 'told' me about it. I have heard quotes from the account but have not spent the time myself. :-{ RE>>The Bible says that the Eagles (ROME) << I agree concerning the Roman Symbols...do you know what the wounded head means? RE>>Obviously, it did not happen then << With this I disagree... simply because even modern day Jews do not understand how "awful" it was in 70 AD does not make it not so. Nor does your statement "it did not happen then"..It did happen then even as Jesus judged Israel for rejecting Him and those He sent....It did happen then! Do not make the same mistake you accuse others of. God has come in Judgement against Israel more often than just 70AD but that was the worst the world will ever see. Do you not think it odd that the world has hidden, for the most part, how bad that was? You may be on to something when you speak of Josephus as being "special" Any how - nighty night time anyway...see you later James.
