  @NY44 and STADD

  Thanks for replying.

  Another nice, cool day in South Alabama.

  My little JW daughter is taking a break from JW activities.

  She gave me a $20 bill just because ...

  Nice to have her here.

  the archangel, an archangel

  by AmyWatson916 in

  i'm reading a book called "what to do when they knock" that goes over the jw book "what does the bible really teach?".

  it points out that the "bible really teach" book, on page 218, makes a bit of a point about there being only one archangel.

  it says michael is "the archangel" and emphasizes that "the" means only one.

  I don't agree with the WT's teaching that Jesus of Nazareth is Michael the archangel.

  Yes.

  In Luke, Gabriel told Mary that he stands in the very presence of God.

  In Revelation, 4 beings surround the Throne - man-like, lion-like, eagle-like, bull-like.

  The Book of Enoch shows they are Gabriel, Michael, Phanuel, and Raphael, respectively.

  The books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel also have their say about angelic creatures.

  If my calculations are correct, there are 101,000,000 of them - 70 are archangels.

  Originally, there were 151,500,000, but 1/3 defected - 50,500,000.

  Of that 50+ million, back in the days of Jared, 200 materialized into human males in order to copulate with human females.

  Those 200 are confined in an area known as Tartarus until their judgment day.

  All of the extra-Biblical works that I've read are in harmony with the Bible.

  I am truly enjoying what I'm uncovering.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Imitative - onomatopoeia - Yitzchaq (Isaac), meaning laughter.

  CoCo, you are stirring some memories!

  This might be a good week to start a conversation about Jeremiah 29:10

  by George One Time in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at this week clam meeting, jeremiah 29:10 is discussed:.

  jer 29:10—how does this verse demonstrate the accuracy of bible prophecy?

  the mistranslation of this verse is the basis of the idea that the jews spend 70 years in exile in babylon.

  No, not the 70 weeks.

  Daniel 9:1 shows that Daniel discerned the 70-year desolation period was coming to a close, and he offered up a candid, moving confessional prayer.

  Sorry, I should have been more specific

  Daniel believed them to be 70 literal years.

  Outlaw, stop!

  If I keep laughing so loudly, my neighbors are going to think I'm crazier than I am.
