    What most disturbed me in the recent discussion was the disingenuous application of words like dominan ....it was so deceitful for believers who have not studied this stuff...'Well don't you believe we have dominan over demons?' Using the same terminology KNOWING full well the meat behind it is very different....Kind of like when Muslims say, we all serve the same 'god'...

    "this world is getting better and better" is more like a religion. It revolves around the alleged ability of mankind to save themselves. From physical death, disease, the forces of nature, destructive forces within, to become free to do whatever they want. To eradicate war and disasters including nuclear ones. The funny thing about this is that now when people are increasingly doing and believing whatever they want, mental disease and deep depression are more prevalent than ever before. They medicate it to keep it out of sight but it's still there.

    You have brought to mind the classic sermon by Paris Reidhead, “Ten Shekels And A Shirt” that speaks of humanism where the chief end of man is his happiness.

    I earnestly believe in the rapture of the church, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

    I also believe that some of John's vision has already taken place, and that Islam has a huge part in it. To me, the videos I posted in this thread: https://livingfaithforum.com/showthr...eresting-stuff make sense. I believe that when the day of the Lord comes, we will see that the Holocaust/WW2 is also revealed in Revelation. I do not have a good enough understanding of world history to tie it all together, but this I know- Nothing has ever happened to Israel that God did not first reveal and warn about through His prophets.

    John the revelator is probably the most notable New Testament prophet recorded in the Word of God. There were also things which he was shown that he was told to "Seal up", and as knowledge increases I believe we will gain more and more understanding of his writings. There is so much depth in Revelation, and I think we are just starting to scratch the surface.

    I suppose that that is what Satan sought by exalting himself to where he made himself an alternative god. To liberate himself from everything except himself - including from God. He became an evil nothing in the process and managed to spread the disease to many of God's creatures. When Jesus was incarnated Satan saw an opportunity to overcome God himself but instead he was overcome and will later be judged.
