Pay attention to the prophecy

"Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones + and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.” - Revelation 18:24   If Babylon the Great is the modern nation of Israel, why does the book of Revelation say that "in her was found the blood of all those who were slaughtered on the earth"? Obviously the objection is that if Israel exists only since 1948, it can not be responsible for all the blood spilled! To answer this question we must understand when the Revelation and the context of this writing are fulfilled. In the meantime, it is useful to reflect on the words of Our Lord when, addressing precisely to the scribes and the hypocritical Pharisees of that nation, he said: “Serpents, offspring of vipers, + how will you flee from the judgment of Ge·henʹna? For this reason, I am sending to you prophets + and wise men and public instructors. + Some of them you will kill + and execute on stakes, and some of them you will scour...

When we visited a city for the first time, perhaps with the intention of visiting a friend who had moved, we needed someone to give us directions and that these were accurate. Otherwise we would have risked going somewhere else, even losing ourselves. It will have happened to each of us, at least once in their life, to have asked for directions and to have found the "wrong" person, or the person who sent us from somewhere else or who increased our confusion. Generally, when giving directions, it is necessary to find common points of reference, ie places or monuments that are known by both (the one who gives the information and the one who receives it) or who are immediately recognizable. The points of reference are fundamental and should not be questionable. Although the majority of us could not be called a professional physicist, it is also evident that in our way of speaking we have always implicitly recognized that time and space were intimately connected and we have...

Dear brothers, pay attention to the prophecies, as we carefully observe world events and strive to talk to those who are favorably disposed, we continue to research and meditate on the Word of God. We continue to question ourselves, as it is right, with the aim not to demonstrate "who is right" but exclusively to understand more the prophetic word of God. Many of you will have noticed that modern Babylon will turn seventy this year, May 14, 2018, a significant year if we think that the Israelites returned home after 70 years of captivity and restored true worship. On May 14, 1948, the state of Israel was born This is an event that certainly deserves our attention even if we must recognize that we do not understand many things yet and that therefore we must show prudence before attributing particular meanings to this or any other event. Otherwise we would run the risk of becoming "numerologists of the Scriptures" (and there are already many) that is seeing e...

«From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it» - Matthew 11:12   The words of the Lord recorded in Matthew 11:12 suggest that the number of those who would have grasped "the kingdom of heaven" would have been a limited number and closed regardless of efforts or who would have been rewarded those who would have "pushed ahead" , ie strive to do so? Some might say that since the 144,000 number appears in the Bible this demonstrates beyond any doubt that all the elect fall into this number but before closing our mental faculties to any contrary argument we must examine Scripture carefully - Acts 17: 11 We know that the vision of Revelation is fulfilled "on the day of the Lord" (compare Revelation 1:10) and understanding the period of time of vision allows us to re-discuss some of the seemingly more solid beliefs, such as total number of the el...
