The Witness interpretation of the book of Revelation is the most ridiculous I have ever seen in a major religion.
Sometimes I read Revelation again, looking for it to come clear to my eyes,and I was reading it last night. The dubs are LOST.
Example. (Im paraphrasing from their own Bible version)
Revelation 20.Start at verse 1 now, it says:
I SAW AN ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN WITH THE KEY OF THE ABYSS
AND HE SEIZED THE DEVIL AND BOUND HIM 1 THOUSAND YEARS....
okay,go into dub mode,when does that happen? After Armaggedon, right?
verse 3:
HURLED HIM INTO THE ABYSS...UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED.
Now verse 4:
I SAW THRONES,THERE WERE THOSE WHO SAT DOWN..AND POWER OF JUDGING WAS GIVEN THEM...
144000, right?
AND THEY CAME TO LIFE AND RULED AS KINGS WITH CHRIST 1000 YEARS..
People, thats After Armaggedon. The Ressurection of the 144000 is after Satan is bound. So much for the dubs on the 1918 ressurection.
verse 5:
THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME TO LIFE UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED.
So much for the dubs general resurrection during the 1000 years.
verses 7 and 8 raise an old connundrum that has bothered me for years:
AS SOON AS THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE ENDED,SATAN WILL BE LOOSED.
AND HE WILL MISLEAD THOSE NATIONS IN THE 4 CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
THE NUMBER OF THESE IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA.
AND THEY ADVANCED OVER THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH AND ENCIRCLED THE CAMP OF THE HOLY ONES.
Mr Dub.
Are you trying to tell me that everyones going to get resurrected,
spend 1000 years in perfection (dont forget the willfully wicked have died off DURING the 1000 years)and then so many, that they are "as the sands of the sea"are going to turn bad again??
You gotta be kidding!
Somethings WRONG people....
