"Here we are informed that this beast upon which the woman rides, is full of names of blasphemy. It is not one name but many names, for the beast is filled with them. This word "blasphemy" requires special translation, or decoding. It was a familiar word in the New Testament era. It is not used so much today, but it does have its modern counterpart. Why did the Jews of Jesus' day call Him a blasphemer? That was always their charge against Him! It was because He dared to call God His Father and to call Himself the Son of God. Therefore, they called Him a blasphemer because He was not teaching and operating according to the rules and regulations which they had set down -- His doctrine was not that of the scribes and Pharisees, but He said that He spoke only what He heard personally from His Father. His entire message and ministry was outside of the "box" constructed by the religious leaders of the Jews. Today if a lawyer is not operating according to the rules laid down by the Bar Association he is called non-ethical or a malpractitioner. Just so, if a physician is not following the rules of treatment laid down by the Medical Association, he is labeled a malpractitioner. This gives you our modern counterpart of the ancient term blasphemy."
"Thus we can see that this beast upon which the woman rides symbolizes malpractice, that is, he appropriates to himself what belongs to God; he dishonors Him, vilifies Him, shamelessly offends all that is true and godly -- blasphemes Him. That is what both the world and religion do -- they usurp the place of God in men's lives, putting their authority above God's truth, dominating men's lives through malpractice! They are not doing things God's way! It is not the Father Himself speaking and acting through them. Rather, it is the elevation of Self to either impress, influence, coerce, or control men. You see this plainly in nearly all the rulers of the world's systems, and if you refuse their domination you will be persecuted, discriminated against, fined, imprisoned, exiled, or excommunicated! Oh, yes!"
Larger study in the link:
This being the kingdom of God. Now refer to the Old Testament, specifically the book of Genesis, and tell me what the land covenant that God made with the Jewish people, specifically the land of Palestine that the Jews will inherit forever more. Was God lying to them?
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Jesus Christ started a new age Andy, people who try to make the Old Testament of any power, are not submitting to the New Testament. The scriptures are for our learning, but beware how they are are taught. Trust the Spirit, Christ in you to teach you all things, the wrong teachings of scripture are prevalent, we all have to prove all things. You know why we have so many denominations? People pledge aleageance to there errant scripture interpretations rather than the living king, Jesus Christ.
Well at least we know there's two kingdoms now.
So what about the covenant promises that God made to Israel, to the seed of Abram, of people that have not repented and accepted Christ. Was God lying to them or has he just cast them away?
For now. The kingdoms of earth swallowed up by the kingdom of heaven.
What's in it for you Andy? What do you care? The whole creation is going to be delivered from the bondage of corruption, national interests will mean absolutely nothing. Does this offend your doctrinal understanding? It's OK Andy, you don't have to have a doctrine about everything, somethings it's best to not take a doctrinal stand on. Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end.
What's in it for you Andy? What do you care?
As a prophet of God, I cannot let false teaching stand. What you are teaching is fables, created in your own mind. You are the king of private interpretations.
