The beast ... was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion 13:2

Trivia: In Revelation 13, how long was power given to the sea beast to blaspheme?

  1. Are the 144,000 men that are "not defiled by women" homosexuals? Are only gay men to be saved? 14:1-4

  2. "The abominable"
    John isn't talking about the snowman here. According to Robert Gagnon (The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics), it's homosexuals. "The reference to 'the abominable' (ebdelygmenois) matches up with 'dogs' in [Rev] 22:15."
  3. "Dogs [homosexuals?], sorcerers, whoremongers, idolaters" and along with anyone who ever told a lie will not enter the heavenly city.
    "[T]he term 'dogs' in Rev 22:15 primarily has in view emasculated male cult prostitutes, without excluding a wider reference to any who engage in homosexual practice." Robert Gagnon (The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics) 22:15
