Yet -
The writer of Rev 22:15 shares the Essene prejudice that
sex is defiling and sees Deuteronomy 23:18 thru that
prism. Further, Asher Gentiles spoke Greek in the synagogue
and used the Septuagint.

Decoding Revelation Parts C and D
http://www.pesherofchrist.infinitesoulutions.com/index10.html
"The Book of Revelation divides itself naturally, by means of its sets
of 7, into four parts, A, B, C, and D. The dates that each part deals
with can be discovered from the dates of events that are described.
The parts do not appear in the book in order - Part B precedes Part A
because of its greater value at a certain stage. The different parts,
with the dates they cover, are:
Part B 1:1 - 8:5 44 AD to 51 AD
Part A 8:6 - 14:5 1 AD to 44 AD
Part C 14:6 - 19:21 54 AD to 74 AD
Part D 20:1 - 22:21 100 AD to 114 AD"

BT? In Papias: who is Aristion?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qumran_origin/message/4949
"On Dylan's question previously asked, whether John the Elder was the
same as
John Mark, Eusebius himself was confused on this question, because of
the
smooth way in which the monastic celibate order of John Mark, that of
Dan,
was taken over by the eremitical Gentiles of Asher under James Niceta
and
subsequently John Aquila. The book of Revelation, written by Asher
Gentiles,
abolishes Dan, leaving it out of the list of "tribes" (ascetic orders)
in
7:4-8. James Niceta is shown "eating the little book" - taking over
John's
gospel - in ch. 10. John Mark was called Elder (presbyteros) in the
introduction to his 2nd and 3rd epistles in the NT, but when John
Aquila
took up his position he became John the Elder. See Jesus of the
Apocalypse,
note 9 to ch. 8 for the fuller explanation."

"Yet", you completely dodged the importance of being shown BT
referencing the Torah in comparison with the Greek of Revelation and
that she completely ignored the fact that the Torah is written in
Hebrew.
BT's "work" is full or errors, Soggy. It's time you came to that
realization.
Yet, so far you are incapable of pointing out any
Thiering errors, Lazy. Your bad; want to try again?
Are you kidding? I just did point out Thiering errors. Did you miss
it? Or are you just lying about it all...?
She uses Deuteronomy as a reference for what's in Revelation, yet
doesn't take in consideration the Hebrew meaning of "dog" (which
doesn't translate the way she wants it to). She doesn't know the
difference between emetics and purgatives in her charge that aloe was
used for Jesus as an emetic after crucifixion.
It's apparent to everyone here but you: Thiering gets it wrong. A
lot.
Now, do you want to continue to live in denial that I pointed out
Thiering errors or do you want to finally admit that at least some of
BT's "pesher" is full of holes?
The Thousand Years are Ended
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qumran_origin/message/1531
"In Rev 20:4-6, the thousand years occurred again, this time for those
who had not worshipped the Beast (Magian zealot monasticism), and who
‘reigned with Christ at year 1000’. They are the Ephesus Christians,
who observed Pentecost as their primary feast, the religious beginning
of the year. In June, AD 100, they declared that the year 4000 (1000)
had now truly come.
The passage speaks of those who had suffered for their testimony to
Jesus and for the Word of God. The title Word of God was now held by
Jesus III, son of Jesus Justus. The detail indicates that he had been
born in AD 77. The grand vision of ch.21 took place in AD 110, when he
began his marriage process. "I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for
the first heaven and the first earth had passed away…and I saw the
holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband." Forty years after the fall of
Jerusalem, the Ephesus Christians had established a new building, a
New Jerusalem, based on the plan of the Temple Scroll, but adjusted
according to the Christian changes in the organisation. The Bride was
the betrothed of Jesus III, who would represent Gentile Christians in
the initiation ceremony that was understood as a symbolic marriage. It
was held at Pentecost, with the initiates wearing the white robe of a
bride, hence the name Whitsunday."

The full story (2). Sep AD 43 in Ephesus
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qumran_origin/message/1989
"The book of Revelation is a good example of what could be called the
pop art of the hellenistic period. Its surface form is directed at the
ordinary people, without learning, who believed in heavenly visions
and revelations. Political leaders and kings were packaged as
supernatural figures. Such claims were made by the Roman emperors, and
were particularly effective in their eastern provinces. But something
else was wrapped up in the package of Revelation and its related
books, a political history that was being offered to those of the
ordinary people who thought hard enough."

<Snip Soggy dance-and-paste>
Now...are you going to comment on the actual issue here, or just
continue to cut and paste things that have nothing to do with the fact
that BT referenced Deuteronomy in parallel with Revelation without
taking into account the Hebrew that Deuteronomy was written in?
Thiering is a hack making first-year undergraduate mistakes. It's no
wonder true Biblical scholars laugh in her general direction.
