What does the "Book Of Revelations" say?

[Kuhnada29]

It says something about apocalypse and stuff right? Anyone believe that our governments running the world are actually the anti-christ? It makes a lot of sense. But can anyone basically tell me what the book of revelations says? It's kind of hard to understand what the original is saying, it's almost like its in a different language. go to 2:55 of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6771OzzjP-Y To anyone who doesn't believe in this sort of stuff, please don't waste your time in this thread. This isn't a debate/arugment..only understanding.

If Christ is God, then our "governments" being anti-christ is a good thing. I see it as a compliment, really. As in, you're against the most evil entity in existence kind of way.

Just read it on an online bible if you don't have it in book. For example here: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...r=1&version=31 Better you read it yourself other than some random one saying bla bla bla.

I'll reply to this in detail after my show's over. My favorite part is Rev. 21:3, 4 which states what faithful mankind have to look forward to. As a btw, there is no single "antichrist" the Bible uses the word in a plural tense. Anyone/anything against Christ and God are the antichrist. And no government now in place is "God's". The Bible states that the Devil is the ruler of this system of things. God's chosen nation WAS Israel, but when they denied Christ, God denied them (as a nation, not individually). No nation can say they have God's blessing because they don't live up to God's requirements. More to come later.....

In the Book of Revelations, do you notice what it says about the mark of the beast? RFID chip? hint hint? This stuff is coming true. 2 nice ladies came knocking at my door the other day and we were talking and what not for a little bit. They gave me this little book about God, and told me to look at some of it. I think maybe that was a sign. I really don't want to read any of it, because i basically know what it's going to say. Love happiness, being nice to each other, helping each other out, etc. I believe God is everything and everyone fused into one conscious being. I just think things like the Bible and such is for people who don't really understand how all of this is possible or haven't had any type of experienced where they can really say that metaphysics or esoteric stuff is real, or that there is really an afterlife, or how quantum physics is close to proving all of this. The bible is for people that need to have faith in something. Lately I've been making the effort to be nice to other people, helping people out, because I know that's what it's all about....so I don't really NEED the bible.

The Bible is so much more than that.. and then some. What it basically comes down to is the Kingdom of God is a government stationed in heaven. The Bible says that wickedness will become rampant but that Christ will become King of the Kingdom while this happens and his Father will place his enemies as a stool for his feet. We are living in those "last days" God is not omnipresent or omnipersonal. He chooses to live in the spirit realm of Heaven. He's looked forward and seen the future on some occassions but he doesn't do it all the time (what would be the joy or surprise in that). When Jesus told the Pharasee that God was within them, it should instead read, "in their midst" referring to Christ as God's Son and representative. The Pharasees had thoroughly polluted the Word of God. God would not choose to reside within such people. What do all governments require of it's citizens? Knowledge, understanding, submission and loyalty to that kingdom. In order to do those things, you must study the laws, know what the King likes and dislikes etc. Love is a requirement for true Christians, but only one of several. What are you doing now that would grant you citizinship into God's Kingdom? What am I doing? The Bible shows us all of that. Some of the Bible is literal, other parts are hyperbole, all of it serves as an example. Sometimes a teacher is required to help someone along. Even the disciples were taught so there's no shame in that. "Our Father, who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done **on earth, as it is in heaven**" Part of the Lord's Prayer. People pray it all the time and don't realize the full extent of the words. The book of Revelation point to the time when the wicked will be destroyed and the earth will be turned into a paradise once again. And then 'death will be no more. Neither will mourning nor outcry nor sorrow be anymore. The former things have passed away.' (paraphrased from Rev. 21:4) Definitely keep searching. So long as you put forth real effort to find the answers, you WILL find them.

In the Book of Revelations, do you notice what it says about the mark of the beast? RFID chip? hint hint? This stuff is coming true. Yeah, I'm familiar with the RFID chip. They're already in the new passports (mine has one) and some people already had them implanted inside their hand. They say it's for 'medical purposes' and 'convenience'.

[Kuhnada29]

Some even have them embedded into their debit cards. One guy even implanted the chip HIMSELF! This is all on youtube. It's really sad, that most have no idea what is going on. I'm not really fond of God's heaven to be honest...not to insult anyone's religion, but I don't really want to pet animals, and grow garden's, and enjoy sunsets when I die....as you can tell from my avatar and signature. If that's what you believe then that's what you will experience. Quantum Physics suggests that we shape our own afterlife. And that's what I want...to shape my own afterlife. I have no problem with showing love, and helping other conscious beings out though. I might even enjoy god's heaven when I am finished fulfilling all of my earthly desires. But if God "told" me to pray to him, then I would.

And in which religious text is that said to happen? Quantum Physics suggests that we shape our own afterlife. No it doesn't. In the Book of Revelations, do you notice what it says about the mark of the beast? RFID chip? hint hint? This stuff is coming true. :l I think you'd find it hard to get any population which isn't completely dense to accept microchips. According to the internets they've only been used in voluntary trials, and there's no reports of people being forced to have them.
