Hey Michael1, thanks for posting; I need too read it again for my little grey cells and my spirit to wrap around a section of the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ that I have very little understanding of. Second time of reading. That's a lot of rightly dividing Michael, I always ponder when as a site we have numerous threads but people choose bring their own one, without first feeling what the Holy Spirit might be saying to this little group of joints , you establish a number a salient points but if there's one thing I've found in my walk with Jesus, is that I leave much of what I read fluid; Bro John wrote in the opening verses of the book of the Revelation that He was in the Spirit on the "Lord's day" while residing on the Isle of Patmos, which would be approx' the fifth 1000, so has it been the "Lord's day" from Jesus D,B and Ress' until HE comes in glory for His church? In being honest for 'me', I'm more interested in what Jesus and the H,Spirit might be doing in this nasty now and now, where I'm living, but that said, I enjoyed reading what you had scribed and for me you certainly added some new thought to stuff I had no thoughts on!!! I don't no why but it reminded me of what dear old Chris used to pen.

I can see that a lot of hard work and investigation went into putting all these facts together, well done Michael. If your conclusions are correct I can not tell. I notice that All no longer means all, which is nice for those let off the hook concerning buying and selling but if you are not right in your interpretation there is going to be a lot of completely unprepared Christians for what is coming on the earth. In the same vein you accept the rapture as a point in history which marks when situations will take place. As I see things the first church did not have a rapture teaching, which whisked all the good ones up into the sky to avoid the nasty things about to happen. If the wisdom of God is going to be manifest to all nations and powers what better way than when the devil is given his last throw of the dice and thinks he has at last taken complete control of this earth?

Michael, a bit of interpretation on a couple of your conclusions.
1 what are the parables Jesus does not identify? 2 what brings you to the conclusion that the 6 plus 1 recorded days of creation are 1000 year ones, I've always understood 1 to a 1000 as being a comparison not an absolute; it's the 'is as' not just 'is' that to me makes it inconclusive, your thoughts might enlighten me.
I came across this last night in looking at something else, the disciples ask Jesus about the parable of the sower, He says; unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand, many of his Kingdom teachings started, the kingdom heaven 'is like' which to me is not an absolute definitive of the kingdom, it's a 'is like.' From the disciples it seems they included themselves in the not seeing and not understanding. How they were to going to get on with the mysteries of the kingdom !!!! This parable was an enactment of what was totally visible to all and sundry, every year, so the disciples would know that there had to be a hidden reality. I shall quit as this has nothing to do with Rev13!!!!!!!

I kind of thought it was the same hat on the same head, could be wrong but do not think so.

The chapter 13 'revelation' comes up short against Pauls revelation found in Romans 5,6,7, and 8 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" these Chps are the Beauty of the revelation of Jesus.

Looks to me that Michael just joined to pop in drop his load and then depart, another butterfly christian I think.
