In Greek the word destroy and Apollyon are the same word.</p><p>Second structure:</p><p>Jesus heals all that come to him, but in Revelation four horses are released to slay a third of men.</p><p>In Matthew Jesus doesn't quench a smoking flax, but in Revelation people are killed by fire and smoke.<br /></p><p>Matthew ends with the religious leaders saying Jesus is the prince of the devils.

books. Matthew and John probably did not work together to make the match
up. God worked subtly through them, because God lives inside Christians
and helps us. This is an example of how all of humanity, that remains
in The book of Life, will work together for all of eternity with God
working through us. It's amazing because we don't feel like God is
taking control of our thoughts or making our fingers type like robots,
we're working together.</p><p> </p><p>Nobody realized Jesus was God in a
flesh body. Even after Jesus resurrected from the dead some of the
people who saw him doubted. It is highly likely that people will not
realize when Satan is physically here on Earth. Humanity did not
recognize Jesus and humanity will not recognize the Antichrist. The
danger of this is that worshiping the Antichrist will result in people
getting thrown into the lake of fire for all of eternity. The Matthew
Revelation matchup could be a wake-up call. We haven't seen this matchup
for 2,000 years. And in a small way it could be warning us, you didn't
see Jesus coming, you didn't see this matchup, and you're not going to
recognize Satan. </p><p>Is it possible to prove that Matthew and Revelation match up? Is it possible to prove that they do not match up?<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p>Unknown Soldierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00796210982427639682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841502555441845488.post-22269706954609165032023-07-17T17:09:00.000-07:002023-07-17T17:09:02.657-07:00this is incredible<p> Words cannot express how amazing this matchup is. There are so many strange phrases in the Bible that seem pointless or strangely written. And this matchup explains why some of them exist. Matthew doesn't flow very well. It doesn't transition smoothly between subject matter. It really isn't obvious why the information is there presented the way it is. But when matched up to Revelation it makes much more sense. Not because it makes much more sense, but because it makes much more sense how it's presented. This was all done by God. It seems particularly strange that not one other person on this planet appears to get it. I'm nothing special. as any Christian can tell you we're all sinners that have fallen way short.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>Unknown Soldierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00796210982427639682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841502555441845488.post-57263397190257425462021-10-04T06:48:00.005-07:002021-10-04T06:48:51.564-07:00prophecy<p> </p><h3>Revelation 1</h3>[<b>1</b>] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave

This points out an important aspect of how God operates. God does things that we do not see coming. No one saw Jesus coming. No one would kill God, other than Satan. But the religious leaders became convinced that killing Jesus was the only choice. It is highly unlikely that Joseph and Mary who raised Jesus realize that Jesus was actually God. Jesus followers and apostles did not realize that Jesus was God. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem did not realize Jesus was God. Everyone was looking for a messiah, but Jesus was not what they were looking for. The old testament was very vague and filled with information in parable format. Frankly it was impossible to tell what kind of Messiah they were really looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that brings up another good point, today we don't know what we're looking for. Some people expect one thing many people expect nothing. And we don't know how to look for things in the Bible, or what we're actually looking for.</p><p>The fact that Matthew and Revelation match up has nothing to do with salvation or theology, it's simply demonstrates to us today that we don't know what we're looking for. We have to be careful and pray hard.<br /></p>Unknown Soldierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00796210982427639682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841502555441845488.post-61593854288433947532020-06-10T19:56:00.002-07:002020-06-10T19:56:54.079-07:00why this is important<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
matching up Matthew and Revelation demonstrates that God can weave subtle relationships and ideas into people's minds as they work towards a common goal. in this case the goal is to spread the gospel message of Jesus.<br />
<br />
the eternal kingdom of God will grow without end. God will work with us and through us to achieve this. we will have the seal of God in our foreheads for all of eternity.<br />

Matthew 1 through 25 matches up with Revelation 1 through 22. There's one small place in Matthew that does not match anything in Revelation, see if you can find it.<br />
<br />
In some places whole chapters match up nicely for instance Matthew 10 and Revelation 7, but this is the exception rather than the rule. It would be nice if chapter 1 matched chapter 1 and 2 matched 2 and so forth, but they don't.<br />

Matt.22</h3>
[<b>1</b>] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,<br />
[<b>2</b>] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,<br />
[<b>3</b>] And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.<br />
[<b>4</b>] Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.<br />
[<b>5</b>] But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:<br />
[<b>6</b>] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.<br />
[<b>7</b>] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.<br />
[<b>8</b>] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.<br />
[<b>9</b>] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.<br />
[<b>10] So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.</b><br />
[<b>11</b>] And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:<br />
[<b>12</b>] And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having<b> a wedding garment</b>? And he was speechless.<br />
[<b>13</b>] Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
Rev.22</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">[10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">[</span>11] He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.</h3>
</div>
<div>
[<b>12</b>] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as <b>his work</b> shall be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
-</div>
<div>
Here are some snappy comebacks. Being speechless seems only slightly better than bragging about your works, which apparently ends in the lake of fire. (Matt 7:22-23)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So try these:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
must you remind me? the traffic was unbearable getting here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I knew I forgot something, to stop at the dry cleaners. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was hung over from the last wedding party and forgot to get it dry cleaned. forgive me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a feeling we've been through this before, but give me one more chance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
those ropes are completely unnecessary. I'm sure we can work something out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
there was no mention of a wedding garment in the invitation. see I have it right here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
--</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
if you say nothing you're doomed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
maybe He'll only tie one hand behind your back and throw you into the twilight zone.</div>
