Re: Let's look at some of these so called Prophecies!
I probably quoted this wrong, so to make sure I copied and pasted. Forgive my noobishness.
Buzz's quote:
1. Nobody can buy or sell without a mark or number on the hand or forehead.
2. chips with marks and numbers are already being implanted in animals, et al. It will likely be a matter of time before chips will be implanted on the forehead or hand so as to prevent security breaches and identity theft which is becoming a very serious problem.
3. The beast related to the number is the ten nation/region world power confederacy of rulers as per the same beast which is explained in Revelation 17. Thus it is a government mark or number such as the government issued social security number used presently.
4. Never in the history of the world has a number or mark been required for all all nations of the world to buy or sell. Don't forget that this is global.
I have a question. If indeed they start giving out these chips to be placed in my forehead or hand(I will tell them my ass to be a jerk), then how will I know FOR SURE that it is the mark of the beast or not?? I thought the rapture comes first, THEN the mark of the beast, so many years of peace, then the 7 years of trials and tribulations.. Finally the battle of armageddon.
Also, one point I would like to make-sort of in Buzz's defense (I think?), is the fact of terrorism. Since this is the word "coined" for use. To say the Bible predicts Los Angeles or New york City seems interesting to me. I can recall a discussion of the coast guard and how hard it is for them to keep track of all the waters on the coasts(protection). It seems more likely that a nuclear device would be detonated on the coast lines, rather than inland. Now, maybe there is detection systems in place that I am unaware of, but this seems more likely.
I would also like to note that this is NOT my area of education and I am giving a "best" guess here. If this is grossly incorrect, please "learn" me. Thanks.

Re: A more scholarly interpretation
Help me out here.
You mention Christ came back in 70AD. Could you be more specific about the apostles seeing him? If He died and was raised, then came back in 70AD, wouldn't that be the second coming? Obviously not. Help me understand this, if you would be so kind.
