  (I also don't think it's "poetic overstatement" to say "every creature is giving praise to God." Genesis makes clear that almost all creatures have the "nephesh hayyah" (breath of life). Our original diets and lifestyles are vegan, for that reason. Having said that, fish and insects do not seem to have been listed as containing the same "nephesh," so it's possible this does not occur, as they do not have the same level of consciousness to be included in that category. But point remains: there's definitely poetic license. But I think "overstatement" undervalues how important the rest of Creation is to God: and should be to us.)

  Great episode. A lot of agreement from me. However, I do think the implications of our faith on immigration extends beyond simply "Christian immigrants." If the Kingdom of God has no borders, physical borders disrupt the Kingdom of God.

  Can you give me the exact scripture in Revelation 21? What verse suggests that John is speaking ‘as if’ he is not one of the 12 apostles.

  Who is the King of Israel in John 1:48-49? &nbsp;Is this King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are the members His Body? &nbsp;Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? &nbsp;What did the Apostle Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8 and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT7YAX7Qn6w&amp;t=196">3:16</a>? &nbsp;Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-37 in blood at Calvary? &nbsp; &nbsp; If the New Covenant is &quot;everlasting&quot; in Hebrews 13:20 and the Old Covenant is &quot;obsolete&quot; in Hebrews 8:13, why would any Christian believe God is going back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?<br><br>Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: &nbsp;(book not in chronological order )<br> <br>Christ returns one time in the future. However, there are several different visions of His return shown from different perspectives in the Book of Revelation.<br> <br>Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. <br>Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. <br>Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? <br>The &quot;kings&quot;, &quot;captains&quot;, &quot;might men&quot;, &quot;free&quot;, and &quot;bond&quot; are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. <br> <br>The wicked city in Revelation 11:8 stands in opposition to the heavenly city in Revelation 3:12. <br>He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. &nbsp;You cannot have a judgment of the dead in this passage without a resurrection of the dead. &nbsp;The location of the temple of God in Rev. 11:19 is in heaven. <br> <br>The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. &nbsp;We know the Christians under persecution in Rev. 12:11-12 cannot be referring to 70 AD, because the early Christians left the city before the siege of 70 AD. <br> <br>The Second Coming is found in the &quot;harvest&quot; of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. <br> <br>He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. &nbsp;How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? &nbsp;What is happening to the planet? <br> <br>He comes on a horse in chapter 19, right after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. <br> <br>Chapter 20 <br>Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead near the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? &nbsp;What did Peter say about the fire in 2 Peter 3:10-13? <br>(The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) <br>There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. <br>Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time? Are there wicked angels in the pit in Rev. 9:11? If the beast &quot;ascends&quot; from the pit in Rev. chapter 11, where was the beast before that time? <br>Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness? <br>Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. <br>Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the &quot;first resurrection&quot; at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. <br> <br>The principle of &quot;Recapitulation&quot; means there are multiple visions of His return.
