why did they write it in ARAMAIC?
The Whore is the false church of ROME and its attempted perversion of Christianity, selling out, whoring out the principles for wealth and power. The antichrist is anyone that does not accept Jesus as the Messiah of prophecy. There are countless religions that promote an antichrist doctrine.I know.. Revelation is just a letter to 7 contemporary churches.
The beast is a reference to Nero and the Whore of Babylon is Israel.
How did we blow past and get 19BUT... in Revelation 16:14 is the battle of Armageddon while in the next verse 15 Jesus declares, "Behold I am coming as a thief." That means that Armageddon comes FIRST, THEN the thief-like coming of the Lord.
Not only that, this would mean that contrary to futurist theology, there were MANY signs before his coming as a thief. For example, his coming according to a futurist interpretation of these passages is still after what they say are the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, after the destruction of a huge majority of the earth's population, and after the destruction of 2/3 of the Jews.
The truth is THE war with the Jews in Jerusalem did take place in 70AD. Paul told THEM in THEIR day that Jesus coming in judgment wouldn't be like a thief for those who are believers:
1 Thessalonians 5: "2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And THEY shall not escape. 4 But YOU, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
3. FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ARGUMENTS COMES FROM DON PRESTON'S BOOK CALLED BLAST FROM THE PAST: THE TRUTH ABOUT ARMAGEDDON.
He notes that as evangelicals we all believe that Christians go to heaven when they die. But according to Revelation 11:19, John said, "Then the temple of God WAS OPENED in heaven, and the ark of His Covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake and great hail." Revelation 15:8 tells us, "The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and NO ONE WAS ABLE TO ENTER THE TEMPLE TILL the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed."

Nope.. That was a slur from Martin Luther after he fell out with Rome. Israel is frequently called whore and harlot in the OT because the prophets continually scolded Israel for whoring after false gods.

I REALLY did not need the wikki description of aramaic as a dialectLingua franca - Wikipedia
Lingua franca - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
A lingua franca , also known as a bridge language, common language, trade language, auxiliary language, vehicular language, or link language, is a language or dialect systematically used to make communication possible between groups of people who do not share a native language or dialect, particularly when it is a third language that is distinct from both of the speakers' native langua…
Any language regularly used for communication between people who do not share a native language is a lingua franca. Lingua franca is a functional term, independent of any linguistic history or language structure.
Forget it, she is not a Christian and her "bible" is allegorical/historical at best. She doe not believe in Christ as taught by the Church of today.
oh that one------ONE? where is THE CHURCH?Per Scripture the Church is the body of and bride of Christ, the believers.
I never saw the word Scofield on a church----I saw "baptist"What Protestant denomination do you follow? Many of today's churches follow the Scofield which was strictly political
the prophet with WHORE on his mind was AMOS---he wasNope.. That was a slur from Martin Luther after he fell out with Rome. Israel is frequently called whore and harlot in the OT because the prophets continually scolded Israel for whoring after false gods.

oh no storefront churches in my childhood town----real fancyThe Scofield Bible has been adopted by some Baptists, Methodists etc. It was written to promoted Christian Zionism and really caught fire after Hal Lindsey wrote Late Great Planet Earth in the 1970s.
The Scofield heresy is very popular with small store front non denominational protestant churches.
Dominionists and Dispensationists follow Scofield.
