Members 1Timothy115 Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Eric, thanks for making the text bigger. I doubt it's a giant eagle that does what you say it does, probably more likely to be a 747 (John wouldn't know what to call that afterall so it's likely that he'd call it an eagle). Where is that "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon, you could have used it here. You're in for it now. Edited February 23, 2012 by 1Tim115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric Stahl Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Eric, thanks for making the text bigger. I doubt it's a giant eagle that does what you say it does, probably more likely to be a 747 (John wouldn't know what to call that afterall so it's likely that he'd call it an eagle). The Bible says that they are taken to a "place prepared for them in the wilderness." I have a hard time thinking that's America. My best guess it that it's Selah Petra.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra The Sixth Seal is Armageddon. The description of it ties in directly with Matthew 24, the Seventh Trumpet events, Rev. 14, and 19. They're all the same. Rick the Jews that are carried away go to the other end of the earth from Israel Isaiah 5:24-30. The Jews that flee down the valley caused by the the Lord splitting the mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:1-5) will go to the river ford on the Arnon River which is on the Jordan side of the dead sea Isaiah 16:1-5. When the devil cause the antichrist to send a flood of soldiers after the flee Jews, God will cause the mount of Olives to swallow the the antichrist men like the Red Sea swallowed the Egyptians Revelations 12:15-17.

Members Brother Rick Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Oh wow. Eagles are airplanes. That's biblical. Imaginations seem to be running amok here, especially who those who say they take scripture literally. Until you can come up with a real argument go back to your sandbox. You guys are like those little moles; no matter how many times you get smacked down you keep popping up. We're getting tired of blowing up your systems. Eric, Interesting thoughts. If Is. 5:26 is a Second Advent passage, it could just as easily be Christ coming to them from the end of the Earth, not the ensign. The One who is lifting up the ensign is the one who is coming from the end of the earth, it's not the ensign coming from the end of the earth. Besides, the Jews are taken to a place prepared for them in the wilderness. The wilderness in the Bible would be where the patriarchs wandered, that certainly wasn't America! It would tie into Esau's stomping ground, Edom, which is where Selah Petra is located. Is. 5:26, "And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:" Edited February 23, 2012 by Rick Schworer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invicta Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Personally I think the reference to eagles was just what we would call a figure of speech. anime4christ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine dispensationalists interpreting our words a few hundred years (should the world last that long) in the future and stumbling over all our figures of speech and idioms.. it will keep them busy for sure. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Jeremiah 6:22 When the Russian alliance comes from the north God will raise up a great nation from the other side of the earth. God has plans for the American Eagle. Scripture does not say America is an Eagle in Scripture and America isn't actually on the other side of the world from Russia. In fact, part of Russia and America are very close to one another. You seem to be making huge stretches in an attempt to make Scripture say something about America.

Jeremiah 6:22 Many nations are said to be involved in that battle. If America is still around at that time it's likely to be involved, but America not even be a power at that time. Also, if God is going to raise up a nation, that could mean He will be raising up a nation that's not already a power. Also, why concentrate only upon the nations from the north when Scripture says they will be coming from the south as well? If, as most suggest, a large army out of Africa will be attacking from the south, why no attention to where this army will be coming from and who will be involved?

You are right about the army coming from Africa at the same time Daniel 11:43b-44. I have noticed that the prophecies about the day of the Lord are not all inclusive so to get a good understanding of the day of the Lord you must study all the prophecies. Then you can see the whole picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
