    ISIS is reported to be marrying young girls who run from Europe to join them, but then divorcing them after a few weeks, and letting another guy play this same whoredom.
    Is that allowed by Koran?

    Do you also condemn the other six types of governments which were not theocracies but arrest and punish dissidents, rebels, and treasonous people like America did to the Rosenbergers?

    They were heretics and illegal entities for sure. A theocracy is a religious government which does what every government does.
    If they did not, they would stop reigning long before 1000 years had past.

    The same things are true in Islam, today.
    Westerners condemn the treatment of women under Islamic Law, but that IS the Law.

    That was a lot of stuff there.
    Let's explain the New Jerusalem first:

    [​IMG]

    Rev. 21:15 And he that talked with me (Zechariah 2:1-2; Ezekiel 10:5) had a golden (sacred) reed (written full with scripture) to measure the</font> (cube-shaped) "city" (of the new bible paradigm), and the gates (of doctrinal access) thereof, and the wall</font> (of interpretive containment) thereof.


    The sacred reed means this is figurative and represents the tabernacles or Booths which the Jews must live inside during Succoh.

    You don't know how women are treated under Islamic law...

    If American men beat and murder their wives do you consider that Christian or criminal? How about the 4,000 children in Atlanta under the ages of 16 years who are trafficked every day? Do you consider that Christian or criminal?

    That's really gobbledegook.. The New Jerusalem is spiritual NOT a cube.

    Why is it centered in France? And why does it include Denmark and part of Sweden when neither really become Christian until around the same time as the Great Schism?

    I just read some of the responses here. Sounds like a bunch of atheists trying to make sense of a religious book filled with symbolism, metaphors and allegories. No one can completely understand the book of Revelation. The last person I'd expect to understand it would be an atheist.

    Some of the responses I'm hearing are just outright hilarious. I haven't come across many insightful responses. That kinda makes me sad. :(
