"We know that in the symbolism of the book of Revelation this “angel” coming down from heaven is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ because of the marks that are given. I do not mean by this that Jesus is literally an “angel,” only that the angel in his symbolism stands for our Lord. The Lord Jesus is always pictured in the New Testament as “coming down from heaven,” and certainly He is the One who has “great power” or “great authority,” and who “lightens the earth with His glory.” Of Him it is written, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” Rev. 5:12). And again, “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Mat. 24:30)."
"Without doubt this is the same “another angel” we met in Revelation 10:1-2. “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed in a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.” Some would make this the many-membered corporate Christ, but by the identifying characteristics it is clear that this is the glorious Head of the body, the indwelling spirit of Christ, the One who indeed fills the whole Christ body, yet remains uniquely the Head of all. He is clothed with a cloud and the rainbow is upon His head, just where it was when we saw Him before in this book. The only two places where we see it is here and in chapter four. Furthermore, He is clothed with a singular cloud, denoting the firstborn Son of God; for when Christ is seen coming in all His saints it is stated that “He cometh with clouds — plural — the many clouds of glory! Now, in the tenth chapter His face is like the sun, just as it was in the holy mount of Hermon, in His transfiguration. His feet are as pillars of fire, just as John saw them in chapter one in the midst of the seven churches. He has a scroll in His hand, opened. Who opened it? Why, He did, the Lamb did, over there in chapter five! And now in our text we find that this “another angel” likewise comes down from heaven with great authority and the earth is lightened with His glory — the glory of that same One whose face is as the sun! Who can deny that this is indeed THE LAMB, even Jesus."
"I would point out that in Greek grammar, when the word “another” is used with a noun before it, it is very significant. It signifies literally, “another who is the same,” and throughout the book of Revelation we find this word descriptive of our Lord. Remember, Jesus told His disciples that when He went away He would send them “another Comforter.” There we have the same grammatical structure in the Greek, indicating “another who is the same.” The Lord made it clear that this “another Comforter” was truly Himself in another form! “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you (as Jesus Christ in the flesh), and shall be in you (as Christ in the Spirit).” And then He adds with unmistakable clarity, “I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME UNTO YOU” (Jn. 14:16-18). Can we not see by this that the Comforter, or the Spirit of truth, was not another or different person, but another manifestation or form of the very same Christ who said “I am the Truth,” standing there before His disciples! He was “another Comforter,” oh yes, ANOTHER WHO IS THE SAME!"
Much more in the link:
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
See andy, your sectarian teaching looks like the lamb, but it is the voice of the dragon. The church has been subject to that oppressive teaching for too long.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
See, God's people are presently in Babylon, or under the spell of Babylonian teachings. Your physical interpretation of Revelation needs to be completely destroyed.
Andy I wandered Babylon for 40 years without this particular interpretation, that's why I'm sharing it. Revelation is 100% spiritual, and 0% physical, it is about Jesus Christ and Him being unveiled in our lives, it is a much better interpretation than that terror stuff you're pushing.

Looks like a lamb - imitates Jesus Christ
Spake as a dragon - change God's word into deception.
You're the one who belongs to a secton eby, I belong to Jesus Christ and what He spoke. I have no other allegiance.
I'm sharing a teaching.
God gave teachers to the body of Christ for a specific purpose:
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Oh yes you do, your allegiance is to a doctrine. You're allegiance is to a particular interpretation. That interpretation salts all your communication about Jesus Christ.
Oh yes you do, your allegiance is to a doctrine.
I guess if believing the Bible as it is written, without taking away or adding any words, is doctrine, then you would be correct.
Now tell us what Preston believes about that
From what I've gathered, and I really can't speak for another, he believes the whole Bible, he studied it his whole life, and he teaches it as the spirit of Jesus Christ opens it for him.
I've heard your doctrine on the Book, I've heard your interpretation for 40 years. For 40 years I've been a committed Christian man. Jesus Christ has convicted me about letting doctrine lord over me, I've been reprimanded, I've repented, I'll repent again if I find myself conveying a doctrine that doesn't comply with:
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
I see the same passion in Preston Eby that I have for bringing every thought captive to Christ and Christ alone.
Thank you for asking Andy
"One of the most startling facts about the “fall” of Babylon is that it is the result of her fall that she becomes the abode of demons, a confine of every unclean religious spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hated bird, or manifestations of unrighteousness and spiritual impurity. It must be made clear to our hearts that this description of Babylon — this uncleanness, these spirits, these hated birds lodging within her bespeak the doctrines of devils, the perversion of truth, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men, adopting the ways and methods of the world, intermingling pagan idolatry with the gospel of Jesus, impugning the nature and character of God and His Christ, and bringing the whole into confusion until every foul spirit hides under the skirt of religion. Because of this fallen condition the Lord’s people are admonished to “come out of her” in order that they might not “be partakers of her sins” and thus be candidates to “receive of her plagues.” If her fallen state signified her collapse or destruction, God’s people would no longer be in her because she would no longer exist as an institution nor would they be leaving her to escape her plagues, for the plagues would already have been poured out. But “fallen” Babylon has not yet been rewarded for her iniquities, nor has she been utterly burned with fire, nor has she received double for all her sins, nor has she been cast into the depths of the sea never to be found again! Armed with this knowledge we can now understand the great truth the Holy Spirit would make real to our hearts, that this cry, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen,” refers not to the judgment and destruction of the system, but rather to the spiritual condition of that system in the present."

This is before the fall, read carefully.
If you think the church interpretated what I believe or you should really go back and look at my comments and posts. Show me where I ever posted another man's words like you do. I only trust one man and that's Jesus Christ
You repeat another's doctrine every time you speak of the tribulation period, the rapture, the antichrist, post tribulation, pre tribulation, mid tribulation, and a multitude of other carnal physical interpretations of Revelation. You've bought into a given interpretation, unless maybe you came up with it all on your own?
You might need some teaching. You say you trust Jesus, but you're not spiritual? How can you know Jesus outside of a spiritual relationship?

Come on man, this is cheap, I expected more from you. I interpret the Bible the same way that one or two of the 800 billion people on Earth do so it's a doctrine? Talk about taking the easy way out.
How can you know Jesus outside of a spiritual relationship?
You can't and I never said you could, but I did say is that you have to account for the flesh that you're trapped inside of. It is in constant conflict with the spirit.
