Hi Dan do you like to read no not skipping over portions here and there.. by reading i mean reading with understanding. A book i read some 40 years ago isn't a large book as large books go its full of knowledge vast quantities of knowledge. Its been read by hundreds of thousands of history buffs i assume you like history.. and out of those hundreds of thousands not one person has found ay holes in his findings the mans name is Alexander Hislop the title of the book is The Two Babylons..
Get ready for a wild ride..

Should read:Before I get involved in another in a long line of "the Papacy is Babylon" claims, answer me one question:
How many prophets have the Papacy kill?
The seven churches(though at the time were actual churches) represent seven time periods. I believe we are in the laodicean time period now leading up to the time of Jacobs trouble. You can also look at them as 7 different types of Christians.....don't be a laodicean...these seem to be the only apostates(false converts)...Put your trust only on the the Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures(1 Cor. 15 3-4) and on nothing else, for nothing else can save you but the Lord Jesus Christ(see Eph 2: 8-9 and Rom 11: 6). Then you have a picture of the rapture in ch.4 leading up to the rise of the antichrist. Try to look at the sets of judgements as you would the 4 gospels. They are not in chronological order but rather all happening at roughly the same time. It gets confusing when it seems that Christs' second advent happens more then once when really it is once, just described in a few different ways.
Never read Scofield. I read and listen to Peter Ruckman, Greggory Miller, Michael Pearl, Brian Dilenger(husky394xp) on youtube.
I believe what I believe. I believe that Christ has not reigned on earth for 1000 years and that we are not living on a new earth in glorified bodies which the book of Rev teaches. I also think the Roman Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon and will be rising to power soon under the authority of the antichrist.
andare good videos describing why.

It should read how many Saints have the papists killed we Christians are all Saints in the eyes of the almighty..

I knew there was something about Preterism that sounded fishy then tonight i found this which explains it quite well..
Preterism holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the 1st century.[57]Preterism was first expounded by the "Jesuit" Luis de Alcasar during the Counter Reformation.[9][58] The preterist view served to bolster the Catholic Church's position against attacks by Protestants,[11][12] who identified the Pope with the Anti-Christ.
Expounded by a Jesuit..

Out numbered doesn't mean wrong. Perhaps partial-preterists are the remnant, while wide is the gate to futurism.
The book is unlike any other book on the subject without reading it a person can speculate until the cows come home and still not arrive at a conclusion.. its a comparison of the two systems telling us that they are identically the same but you won't know that until you read it..
