I agree that there are different symbols portraying the final judgment of God. All the ones you mentioned are correct and the battle symbolism is no different. It's all referring to the time when Christ returns to judge mankind for their sins and does away with sin and evil once and for all...
Why is there need for a physical battle when this verse below shows the most effective means?
2 Peter 3:10-12 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the...
Nah...
Everyone that has predicted a date for the end of the world has failed so far.
I don't anticipate 2012 to be any different. I've been hearing so many end of the world theories and date setting ever since I was a young kid.

For those who believe in a 7 year great tribulation period and that the final week of 70 weeks is the great tribulation period and "jacob's trouble". What authors\books have you been reading? Does this teaching come from your church?
It seems interesting that the "son of perdition" is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2 where it is talking about Satan arising in the temple of God and the "falling away" that occurs at that time.
Maybe it's a little far fetched though.
But this is the only other place in scripture that I'm...
WOW NICE CATCH... that is interesting... hmmm.... :chin
I'm wondering if Judas is also a symbol or type of betrayer that would occur in the future?
I'm wondering if the church is compared to like the twelve apostles or the twelve tribes and one of them goes into betrayal.
