Russia and Israel, now what?

I cannot agree with your interpretation. I believe in "sola scriptura", and the premise "scripture interprets scripture" is a organic function of that belief. Your interpretation is "subjective", it doesn't cite scripture to interpret the symbols used in Revelation 13. In fact, it ignores scripture.

The Holy Spirit illuminates how scripture applies to us, so we repent and believe it, obey it. He aids our diligent study of scripture, seeking the answers to our questions in Scripture itself.

But from the vast diversity in interpretation of Revelation 13 among true believers, all filled with God the Holy Spirit aiding their study of scripture, its obvious God does not provide "a perfect and complete interpretation of Revelation 13.

And that explains how, even angels debate the meaning of scripture among themselves:

To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven-- things which angels desire to look into (1 Pet. 1:12 NKJ)

The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, ...

Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath, said the Lord-Matthew 25:29.

Let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged." (Rom. 3:4 NKJ)
If I judged your claim to divine knowledge, by your interpretation's content, I would reject it because it does not follow the principle "scripture interprets scripture." Paul often spoke of the spiritual man, and he also said this:

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16-17 NKJ)

Your opinion is good for nothing. -> What matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, GOD Himself, Father of my Lord JESUS Christ, Self-executing, Self-executable, understand?

My Lord JESUS left very clear, saying: -> He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his GOD, and he shall be my son.
But the unbelieving, and all liars, and the abominable, and fearful, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death-> Revelation 21:7-8. -> fire and brimstone? -> The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it-Isaiah 30:33.

Be prepared or else get ready

Stringing scriptures together doesn't advance sincere dialogue about truth.

Your opinion is good for nothing, understand? Your thinking is from a human perspective-> (Genesis 3:22 and 2:17 and 3:1, and so on), a stumblingblock, not from GOD's perspective.

The Word of GOD is from everlasting to everlasting, the Word was and is, and will be GOD for ever, GOD Himself, the Father, Father of my Lord JESUS Christ, the Word made flesh, Self-executing, Self-executable, understand? The Word was made flesh, JESUS was born, the EXPRESS IMAGE of the Person of GOD the Father, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, understand?

My Lord left very very clear, saying: -> No man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son ->(the Word made flesh), and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. It's it. So by your own words, you confess you know not Him, because my Lord revealed not Him for you. It's it.

I cited scripture for my opinion, its good for everything!!!

 

[Oseas]

Curious is you tell your boss, wife, family, friends "you opinion is good for nothing" whenever your opinion doesn't agree?

Fact is, as I cited scripture for my opinion, its good for everything!!!

He that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from above is above all->John 1:18. You are of the earth, you are of this world, your thinking is from a human perspective, a stumbling block-> Genesis 3:22 combined with 2:17 and 3:1-> not from GOD's perspective.

As I cited scripture, the facts come from above all, a divine perspective.
