Who Was The Beast Of The Book Of Revelation?

Those words apply to any congregation. Congregation is the true meaning of the Greek word put as church in trinity translations. Jesus did not address the building, he addressed the congregation. Since death will be no more at the end of Rev-where is it if these things occurred back then?
Yes. They were seven congregations or assemblies. Did you think they were buildings? Nobody else thinks that.
 
for the record-----I have NEVER been a member of the Chassidic
community------however they are admirable people and, CERTAINLY,
not "racist"

What do You mean?

If Your house is Teymoni, You're a Chossid...
barely ever mentioned because it's so apparent.
 
All the patriarchs had foreign wives. How do you condemn Moses, Abraham, David and Solomon?


The foreign wives were concubines.
Of all mentioned, only Abraham Avinu A"H is a patriarch.
He sent away all his concubines and their children to the Far East.
Moshesh Rabbenu A"H also sent his Midyanite wife and children away.
Until the establishment of the tribes, marriage outside the house of was avoided.

Which is why after the establishment of the House of Israel,
King David A"H himself a grandson of Ruth the Moabite,
could legitimately convert daughters of other kings.

King Shlomah A"H, King David's son,
was permitted the same limits
according to law.

'Ezra HaSofer A"H,
reminded that the priesthood is
not allowed the same as the royal house.

Look...Trotsky's peyos were not up to bar,
and who can say he wasn't Teymoni?

Each to his Himyar...
 
Translated church or assembly or congregation. It's not something to stumble over.
Church, assembly or congregation makes no difference. Revelation was written to them in the first century.
 
Love ya JAG, but you misunderstand prophecy. It can be what will take place 2 days from now or 2,000 years from now. It is relevant to the time, not the people. That we humans just now have the ability to wipe out life on earth is totally irrelevant to the dead of the first century.
There have been a bunch of bad humans, but none so far fit the description of the beast laid out in end time prophecy. For one, he will be loved the world over. Nero wasn't even loved at home. Nero produced no peace treaty with Israel. Nor did he suffer a mortal head wound to the head or neck and survive. He had no weapons of mass destruction. Nor was he responsible for Christ returning to stop the destruction.
Wiping life off the earth is a prophesy that could only be fulfilled and relevant to us.
The Roman empire was pretty much their whole world. Nero's head wound was assisted suicide. Domitan carried on with the persecutions. Is God going to wipe people out or will it be weapons?
 
Did Nero survive his head wound and go on to sign a peace treaty with Israel? No? Then he isn't the antichrist of Revelation...
