Brent, You say a lot always, but you always cage your remarks with something like, "if you will study the Scriptures, the truths will be revealed to you also." Can you SIMPLY and CLEARLY tell us what you believe Revelation says -- in a nutshell? Can you at least BEST GUESS a time frame and list the EVENTS you expect to see from NOW and up to the point of Christ's PHYSICAL return to earth? I do not understand why you cannot do this. Others have given these events as they see them. Surely, they are as the current Protestant "last days" TV preachers espouse them (at least some), and we do understand you think they are TOTALLY misled and in error concerning the antichrist, the mark, Babylon, the Tribulation, the country alignment, the false prophet, a rapture or not, etc. If you CANNOT do a CLEAR and PRECISE timeline for us, can you tell us a book that does this equal to your views? Remember, we want clear events in a proposed timeline based on the calendar we go by. We understand trying to put times to these things are guesses, but humor us please. We like to make educated guesses. It stimulates thinking and re-thinking and is in NO way a sign of disbelief, and God would not take offense for us attempting to study further. Most of us are curious as to whether Christ will return in our lifetimes. We understand "living as we should" and "not worrying about these things" and "if you are doing what you should, everything will work out." BUT, we are promised as special blessing for studying Revelation, so that is what we are attempting. We are just asking for your help, not an argument or a simple pointed finger in the right direction as you believe. Please do as I ask. It is a sincere request. Don't just parrot a verse about not guessing at scripture, or not looking for dates, or finding the answers alone in a closet, or anything like this. Can I make this any simpler? Do you really want to help others UNDERSTAND your views, or do you simply want to create conflict and get off on having others puzzled at your remarks so you feel superior? I am NOT trying to antagonize you or make light of your words. I just don't know how else to ask for this simple request and get a simple straight answer without just having more scripture thrown back at me in question form. Thank you. I remain, SOROS
