“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:” Revelation 1:1 (KJV 1900)
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.” Revelation 22:6 (KJV 1900)
Why is it most still look for the visions of Revelation to be fulfilled in the distant future? When Jesus said they would soon come to pass - nearly 2000 years ago?
Could it be we are like a person who misses his turn and still looks for it 2000 miles down the road? Someone too stubborn to take another look at the map?
"Why is it most still look for the visions of Revelation to be fulfilled in the distant future? When Jesus said they would soon come to pass - nearly 2000 years ago?"
That is Satan, Dave.
Others look at the same visions as already having been fulfilled.
Both are purely Satanic.
Satan says,"These major portions of God's Word mean nothing to you and are to be ignored".
It's that simple.
Revelation is the Most Practical a book in the Bible, as God Said, "Blessed are those who read"...
Every word pertains to us, now, and my be seen that way, easily, just like any other portion of The Bible.
With The Holy Spirit.
Revelation begins with the discussion of Spiritual Warfare Revealed as taking place on Earth and then that Warfare in The Spirit Realm.
Revelation covers the Time Period between the Ascention of Jesus, until The End of The World at His Return.
As we have talked about, each of The Seven VISIONS cover this exact same Time Period, generally speaking.
Each of The Seven VISIONS begin with Jesus First Advent and End with His Second Advent.
In Each Vision God Reinerates the same Period, in more depth and detail.
Sorry, for those that Satan wanted to blind to his Doom taking Place, soon, upon Jesus Return, soon, at The End of The World, soon, because he, sure as daylight, has.
There will be no more opportunity for anyone to be Saved and most all of the World of people that are Saved do not know to tell that Message to all the lost WHO DO NOT Know and most all 'Bible Teachers' tell one of Satan's versions AND NOT GOD'S.
They know they don't know the first thing about Revelation, because it never involves Prayer, or actual Interpretations that HARMONIZE PERFECTLY WITH THE REST OF THE BIBLE.
People always quote Satan with the, "there are 4 basics ways folks "interpret Revelation", and it is guaranteed that 3 are Satanic, Sold to them by Satan himself and, if it anything like 'Church Truth' they are oblivious to the 4th, and can't teach a nickels worth of Revelation, and really NONE, at all.
And the hard part is, they wouldn't bow to God and give their understanding of it Him, if the 'appointment they think they'll have to rule as Governor of their State' is a stake.
Wait a second.
Satan had to fool them by buying them off, somehow.
It can't just be that SATAN tells them, "you don't have to preach the gospel this way, or tell anyone they or someone they know will be lost and a goat Separated from the sheep when Jesus Comes, because there is 'second chance'.
So, they buy his lies to 'be Govener(?)
How proud.
And Satan-worship-ish.
THE DRAGON THEY DON' T KNOW TO FIGHT.
Look at The Country's and World Economic and Go-Political News.
Do you see The Word of God Put Out to War Against Satan?
It's because we have no teachers to tell anyone THE BIBLE.
WE HAVE 'EAR TICKLERS', With Disney World Carton silly Satanism.
