You do not know where John stated 1/3 of the world population dies in Revelation? Revelation 9:8
This is not the destruction of Jerusalem. Two different things. Keep in mind, the entire universe with everything in it explodes on the last day.

Keep in mind Revelation covers the whole New Covenant era. So you can look back and see fulfillment. And know what to expect in the future.

Then how do 2/3 of the people survive the explosion of the "universe with everything in it" if that is the fulfillment of the death of 1/3 of the population in Rev 9:8?

See, this is EXACTLY why I hate when people make definitive statements of interpretation about Revelation and Daniel that are not even internally logical ... never mind explaining conundrums in the texts elsewhere.

Was God still reigning when thefall happened? When Satan rebeled,when Hitler nearly exterminate the Jews? Jesus is reigning in Heaven, but we long for when His will gets done here on earth exactly as now in heaven!

Sorry something came up now to answer your question with scripture... Looks to me like scripture says he been ruling all along... Kind of a no brainer, wouldn't you agree... Brother Glen:)

1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

The end of the world comes last. The Judgments precede it.
