@shortstories I believe Rome was the Beast, Nero the Antichrist, buying and selling vs death was the choice, the Mark of the Beast may have not been a physical mark (maybe), the two witnesses may have been considered to be Paul and John or literally Elijah and Enoch, the whore was Jerusalem, Christ literally returned and the first resurrection happened, the millennial reign happened literally (maybe physically, maybe in "heaven"), Armageddon happened and reset the world, and history is a lie.
@shortstories My thing is this -- I operate based on what I believe is most true, but do two other vital things.
First, I try to plan for the most likely alternatives, in case I am wrong.
Second, I have to be willing to admit that I could be wrong and change my views and actions based on new evidence.
So yes, I am keeping a close eye on the potential shift with Israel and the Futurism view on prophecy.
