The Beast of Revelation: IDENTIFIED (5 of 25) by Ken Gentry

[sungmee45]

There are so much in the OT, which he hasn't quoted...Revelation was written for our generation...Another misleading...Do not agree!..What about understanding of Daniel 9. and many more in in OT like. Dan. 2:44-45, 7:9-14, 12:1-3 NT: ; Matt. 13:41. 24:15-31, 26:64; Jude 14-15 vs.; Mark 13:14-27, 14:62; Luke 21:25-28 and much more. Which he is not quoting...I do disagree with his teaching...I don't dislike the man tho..but not correct..I am pre-tribulationist

[otnt66]

Wrong! This scripture speaks of the Roman Papal system. Don't you know your history? Google Martin Luther, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Huss, Sir Isaac Newton, etc. ALL these attest to just who this beast is. The Book of Revelation in concert with the Book of Daniel is a prophecy pertaining to church history. IN FACT, by it's very title, The Revelation , contradicts the statement that it is a sealed book. The seven churches relate to the different dispensations down throughout history. Ken doesn't get it.

[jcr4runner]

@otnt66 The problem for you is that the author, John, speaks of Revelation as an "unsealed" book -- one that has been revealed to the church at that time -- hence the title. If it were about the papal system, they could not have understood and it would have been "sealed."

[adbookeronline]

This is wrong, the Bible says the seven mountains are kings, the hills of rome have not fallen. Nebuchadnezzar is the first head, Cyrus, Darius, Alexander the Great, the generals of Aleaxander, Rome was the sixth, Arabia was the seventh

[ferdnerkel]

does tribulation of the early church really qualify as the great tribulation? Jesus in mat 24;21 said "... nor ever shall be" seems to me that many of the events of the 20th century have been far worse than the troubles of the early church. not to mention the black plague in Europe or the slaughterhouse that is called mans "Enlightenment". this doesnt look like very solid ground to me. ((just commenting))

[tanukioh]

@ferdnerkel

I don't really see modern times as being so much worse than they were in the time the book was written. True we have new weapons, but wars were just as bloody, disease just as deadly, and crime just as horrible back in those days. The only major jump we've made is media reaching more people to scare them into a panicked, easily manipulated state.

[TablesofWar]

I am curious if anyone may know the names of good theology text books. I am writing a novel revolving around the events of the rapture. I need to mostly study some of various arch demons and arch angels. Sorry if this sounds out of place, thanks for your reply before.

[EndTimeDelusion1]

But Nero was NOT the 6th Emperor, but the 5th Emperor. i just checked.  Augustus was not the second Roman Emperor, but the very first.

[jcr4runner]

According to Josephus Julius Caesar was the first Emperor, so the Jews did think of Augustus as the second.

But technically, you are right. Julius was only Emperor for a short time and never had control of the whole Empire. The Senate opposed him.

However, Augustus and all the succeeding Caesars agreed with Julius as "Caesar" (or "the Emperor") since they were his successors.

[EndTimeDelusion1]

Yes, that makes sense.

i'd like to hear what Dr. Gentry says about the 70 weeks of the book of Daniel too, concerning the abomination of desolation, because if the first 69 weeks (7 weeks, and 62 weeks) lead up to 33AD, then the final week would be from 33AD to 40AD, and it seems that in 40AD Gaius Caligula erected a statue of himself in the Jewish temple.

[jcr4runner]

Google:

Daniel in preterist perspective by Jay Rogers

[jcr4runner]

I do not see a problem with the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem beginning some 40 years after the seventy-week period is fulfilled. The sacrifices ceased to have any effect after 69-1/2 weeks.

[EndTimeDelusion1]

But "Messiah be cut off" after 69 weeks, so if Jesus was crucified in 33AD, the final 7 yrs would not stretch all the way to 70AD, or it would be 75 wks, not 70. But "unto the end of the war desolations are determined" could still apply to 70AD, without having to be included as part of the 70 wks.

It was JESUS who caused the centuries old practice of sacrifices and oblations to cease! That's why He said "It is finished" & the veil of the temple was rent. 3.5 yr ministry,1/2 of 7 yrs.

[otnt66]

@EndTimeDelusion1 The bible is it's own interpreter.You don't need Ken or any other. Study it yourself. Dan 9:24-27 tells it all. The decree by Artaxerxes Longimanus to rebuild Jerusalem found in Ezr 7:13 was actually the Autumn of 457BC. 69 weeks or 483 years later, Jesus started his ministry. Half a week, or three and a half years later, he was crucified, ending the Ceremonial Law. Half a week later Stephen was stoned, ending the Chosen Nation status of Israel, Paul went to the Gentiles. TRUTH

[TablesofWar]

Does anyone have an Idea of what the nations Magog and gog are suppose to be? Sorry if I spelt them wrong.

[jcr4runner]

In Ezekiel 38, Gog is the prince of the Gentile nations that attacked Israel with the Assyrian Empire.

In Rev 20, Gog and Magog symbolize all the people of the world who are opposed to Christ's kingdom on earth. They represent a state of final apostasy prior to the final judgment.

Postmils do teach a final apostasy that occurs at the end of history after a period of long peace and prosperity.

Thanks

[parousia555]

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Gee, I wonder, isn't a lamb a beast, could this verse be a reference to Jesus's resurrection from the dead?

Could the Image of the beast the same thing as the church, which was brought to life at pentecost?

Did the angel that talked to John in Rev say that he was going to show him things that were and will be?

Does anybody know how to read?

[cjeffe007]

to be released over Jesus, Yeshua...whatever y'all call him today. Secondly, the temple priests were appointed by ROME-not as they were to be, by HaShem! Herod appointed them folks-they were corrupt and whores of ROME and Jesus saw that and pointed it out. He didn't try to start a new religion-he already had one: JUDAISM! he was an orthodox reformer of the time! Similar to the prohpets of the book of Judges. Its sad to see how antisemitic the "church" still is. glad I left!

[Bradakonkonnie]

One thing is clear to me: YOU are not a JEW , but a KHAZARIAN OR EDOMITE.Since you are of JAPHETIC descent and Togarmah of heritage you could never claim people treating you badly being anti-SEMITIC.YAHWEH is the Name of Elohim and YAH'OSHUA is the Name of His Only Begotten Son.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

[HaveUconsidered]

Jesus did not come to "reform" Judaism but to fufill it.

"I did not come to abolish but to fulfill."

(Matthew 5:17)

[cjeffe007]

Lastly, were Mr. Gentry Jewish there would be much more that he would understand about Revalation-i.e that its not G-d's wrath upon ALL of Israel, but the corrupt, whores of the temple priests at that time. THEY killed your Messiah-not the Jews at the time. If you know about history youd know that it was impossible for the entire Jewish population to go to Pilate to demand for Bar-Abba's release. It was the temple priests and Bar-Abba's family and friends. Of course they asked for him...cont'd

[cjeffe007]

As the only Jew who has probably watched this (and I am a convert- I used to be a christian and thank HaShem, he guided to truth!-anyway!), I am appalled at the anti-semitism of Mr. Gentry. And to think I used to toot his horn or so to speak when I was an x-tian! Didnt know hes a "the church replaced the Jews b/c the Jews denied Christ" crap!

[EnigmasofToday]

Very well done video. I have them and would recommend that anyone interested in Revelation pick up his books as well! Gentry has some of the best books I have read on the subject.

[JAHFREE777]

none of this has happened yet mathew 24 yeshua tells us clearly the signs and now 2009 many are coming foward,, some yet to be fufilled.. never mind  private interpretation of Revelation, which we clearly shouldn't interput to others.. read for self and watch, Yeshua clearly says we will see him coming

[ChristianNewsWatch]

When Jesus enters in to us & makes us born again in their spirit, that could also be His 2nd coming... something I'm studying and praying over.

Often times we forget that Jesus says His words are Spirit... we can speculate every day with our human wisdom and never find the truth... for the real truth requires the Holy Spirit to enlighten us.

Remember, we are too seek the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be given to us... and Jesus states that the Kingdom is within us...

[voiceof1cryin]

Its about time people are starting to see the truth!

Thank you lord.

[GimmeLanguage]

He actually mentioned a key verse but skipped over its importance and that is that in Rev. it says the seven mountains. It does not use the word in greek for the seven hills of Rome and there is a specific word in Greek for those hills and a completely different word for mountains which prophetically often sybolizes nations, countries or kingdoms. Babylon is not the catholic church it is the United States of America. All of the description is in Jermiah 50 and 51 and Rev. 18

[totalphotography]

Ive heard it said that America is the beast with 2 horns like a lamb, that speak as the dragon. If you look at our Christian foundation we had, and what is done in Washington now, I think it is a fair comparison.

[theguyfromaustralia]

I am not a pretersist, but I decided to study it more in depth to get a greater perspective.

[zeekdaville24]

Prophesy refills itself until YAHSHUA comes back. If you believe that our L.O.R.D won't get any resistance when he comes back down here your out your mind preacher. Satan didn't fall from heaven yet, and the L.O.R.D plagues haven't came down yet.

[truthseeker1973]

Ya, there are huge and many problems with the preterist/amillennialist view, not to mention there is an old Catholic motive behind it.

For it having been done already, things seem to sure be unfolding just right for the premillennial view.

Zeek, I like what you said about prophecy refilling itself. Satan also likes to make prophecy look fulfilled as well.

[longtalltexan63]

Let's say that Revelation did already happen a preterist friend of mine said that Ezekiel 37,38 and Zechariah 14 are also about 70 AD. That can't be true. Zechariah and Ezekiel makes it clear that Israel is attacked and God goes and fights for Israel. No so in AD 70. Even if Revelation happened, there are things to happen in the future.

[ihsrc]

And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Lk 10:18 (beheld - past tense - already happened)And if the plagues happened 2000 years ago, how would you know they didn't happen?
