  • Here is a link to books recommended by John Alley on the topic of end times/eschatology:
    www.peace.org.au/books-recomm...
    Once again John Alley brings a message about "end times", beginning with an examination of the meaning of the "coming" of Christ and then giving an overview of the book of Revelation. Revelation, John explains, is the most Jewish of all the books of the New Testament, drawing greatly on Jewish symbols, history, concepts and nuances of language. The book was written to the seven churches of Asia, at a time when there was a larger percentage of Jewish Christians in the Asian region, and there was a huge emphasis on Emperor worship. John examines events from history which all point to the book of Revelation being written in about 64 or 65 AD. With this understanding, then, it is very easy to see that most of the prophecy of the book of Revelation has been fulfilled in the great tribulation and suffering inflicted on the Church by the Emperor Nero. Therefore, the Beast referred to in the book would seem to most likely have been Nero himself. John explains many fascinating facts including the source of the number 666 and then goes on to say that as for the future, we have hope, a great calling, a great many promises and a Messiah King ruling in Heaven. We should be encouraged, says John, that although difficult times will come for some people, the Gospel triumphs over them all and we need to pour ourselves out in service to God for the furtherance of the Kingdom.

    Thank you for posting this video. Not many people will like this video, because most people like the popular teaching, not the truth. I have spent years to understand the book of Revelation, tried to learn every line; even did a comprehensive study on the book if Daniel, book of Matthew and Luke to understand, This preacher is right on track! There are very few who gets the truth! Most preachers goes by what they have learned from their childhood, popular teachings (Clarence larkin's dispensation garbage -which I also believed one time, taught my husband too!!!!); no one question, why they believe in what they believe; all goes by their individual church made doctrines and teach other people! The dispensational teaching had paralyzed the church for decades! It mostly teaches and gives priority to -the physical Jews and the Israel, their physical land, teaches pre-tribulation secret rapture, all kinds of garbage! The Christ is the center of the old and new tastament. There are no distinction between the Jews, or the Gentiles. Those who are interested must read the NT explanation about who are the true Jews and who are the true Israel of God!

      Like all convincing lies, it mixes lots of truth with a little bit of strategically placed deception, in the case of dispensation: dual covenant theology, which opens a back door for the beast and his ‘prophet’ to renew the old covenant in defiance of the new covenant, which Jeremiah said would not be like the Sinai Covenant which they broke.

    The declaration of the early church was "Jesus is Lord" not "Jesus will be Lord." Paul says in Ephesians 1:15- 2:10 that Jesus Christ the Lord is seated at the right hand of God, the Father of glory, and that we, as believers, make up the body of Christ, and are raised up with him in the power of the resurrection and seated with him in heavenly places. THIS IS OUR STATUS IN SPIRITUAL PLACES. Some have misunderstood this to mean entitlement to wealth and power in this world, but Paul directs us to our obligation to God in terms of doing good works as fulfilment of God's plan for us as his true and chosen people; a royal priesthood. The primary purpose of God for now is to create for himself a people he can call his own by transforming them into the image and likeness of the Firstborn Son of God.

      Dispensationalism is John Nelson Darby's and the Scofield Reference Bible's (the Zionist Bible) interpretation of biblical eschatology and was a doctrine taken to America by the Plymouth Brethren. The doctrine promotes Zionism and America now has Christians who venerate modern day Jews, who are really Khazars from Poland and Germany. The Jews infiltrated the church in order to promote Zionism via the Scofield Reference Bible. Nobody had heard of dispensationalism and the rapture before 1830.
      Also, you never were supposed to take Hebraic apocalyptic language literally. That's not how the ancient Hebrews thought. Look at the spiritual language used in Matthew 26, 64. Jesus will not literally return, "on the clouds of heaven".

I believe this takes away fear of the future for us in our time. We can focus more on spreading the Kingdom of God instead of fear and the rapture doctrine, being removed, which didn't seem right.

    Identifying Nero as the antichrist is problematic. For instance claiming his name = 666 isn't so straightforward: First you have to add one of his titles to his name "Caesar," then you have to misspell his name to equal 666, and then for those who believe the text was originally in Greek, you also have to convert the name from Greek to Hebrew.
    Also Irenaeus (the famous disciple of Polycarp who was a famous disciple of Apostle John) indicated that the antichrist had still not been revealed in the second century. None of the church fathers taught Christ had returned and 2Th 2.8 says this antichrist or "lawless one" would be destroyed with the breath of Christ and the brightness of His coming -- yet Nero committed suicide with a dagger in 68 AD (2 years before 70 AD when some suppose Christ returned). Etc, etc. He also confirmed 666 was the original number not 616 as was used to fit Nero in a minority of manuscripts going around.
    In addition to that -- and this part surprises a lot of people because it's never mentioned by biblical expositors: there are no biblical uses or endorsements for numerical gematria. As a matter of fact, the origins of this practice traces back to Babylonian theology as used in the mystery schools or secret societies including in Kabbalism and gnosticism as found in Freemasonry and the Zohar. Babylonian mystery religion is the very system John is warning against and ironically it has been used for 1900 years to conceal the true meaning of 666, the exact opposite of a "revelation."
    If that weren't bad enough, even the alpha-numeric system of switching letters to numbers on which numerical gematria is built upon is not biblical and was picked up by more heathen practices of the Greeks (who probably learned it up from Babylon).
    I did a blog post with more info and what 666 actually refers to using OT practices. The blog link is at the top of my youtube page and the post is "The Revelation of 666 from Moses and Ezra"
    Peace in Christ.

      _In the Bible the only usage of the phrases “in the hand” and “in the foreheads” are all in the Law of Moses and refer to keeping the commandments, statutes, judgments and holy seasons or days given to Israelites in the time of Moses. The first reference is Exodus 13:9 where it states the Days of Unleavened Bread associated with the Passover were given “for a sign unto you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes [in the forehead].”_
      _The word “sign” in the above verse is translated “mark” in its second occurrence in the Bible and it refers to the “mark” given to Cain (Genesis 4:15). The biblical definition of the “mark” (or “sign”) in the hand and forehead is associated with holy days on the Mosaic calendar. The next usage refers to the commandments, statutes and judgments that the Israelites were to perform when they entered the land of Canaan._
      _“You shall bind them for a sign [or mark] upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes [in the forehead].” Deuteronomy 6:8_
      _The third reference is similar to this and is given in Deuteronomy 11:18. The weekly Sabbath is described as such a “sign” (or MARK) in Exodus 31:12-17._
      _If we let the Bible interpret the Bible then the MARK (or sign) in the hand and in the forehead of Revelation 13:16-17 refers to the keeping of the Mosaic legislation - its holy day system and regulations for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan. And this is what the Antichrist will subject the world to when he commences his reign in Jerusalem just before the true Second Advent. He will display to the world his supposed divinity, the world will accept it, he will sit himself with great ceremony in the temple at Jerusalem, and then proclaim himself the true divinity come from heaven to reside among men (2 Thessalonians 2:4)._
      From "The Antichrist Will Establish the Mosaic Law" by the late Ernest L. Martin.
      More info:
      _"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were BUYING AND SELLING in the temple"_ (Mat 21.12)
      In Revelation 13 we have the second beast/false prophet who comes imitating the signs of Elijah to do 3 important things the rabbis expect Elijah to do:
      1) Renew the Sinai covenant marriage which in the Torah came with sealing the congregation with the mark of the Name of God in the forehead and hand in dedication of thoughts and works through the Aaronic Benediction as symbolized by the tefillin (Mark of the beast);
      2) restore the sacrifices which only those in the covenant could participate in with the money-changers and merchants Yeshua threw out (buying and selling);
      3) regather and number the tribes in a census as in the books of Numbers and Ezra by heads of family names (number of names/number of men).
      These are expected by the rabbis for Elijah to perform before the arrival of their (false) messiah who will enforce the Sinai covenant marriage in defiance of the new covenant marriage announced by Jeremiah who said it would not be like the one at Sinai (Jeremiah 31). Hence, the law is for the lawless (1Tim 1.9) and we know the false messiah is also called the lawless one (2Thes 2.8).

    {Another example of his coming: The Lord comes in judgment of that unfaithful servant who began to eat and drink and beat his servants.)
    ....But, ...to propose that the writings of Rev, don't have an endtime fulfillment, - is careless, and unwise. Rev. 6.15-17; and Rev 11.15-18: do you casually dismiss them as NOT being, - PRIMARILY - an endtime prophecy? Do you casually dismiss them as NOT being, - an endtime prophecy AT ALL??!!
    Is the end time a major fulfillment of:
    - the 2 passages above?
    - a beast out of the sea? (I believe, a worldwide economic system)
    - a beast out of the land? (I believe technology)
    - The Lord coming in Rev 19, destroying all?
    - The Spirit warning us to come out of the Whore?
    - A mark, chip implant, and without taking it you can't buy anything?

      @@DavidKing-qd3sp ofcourse i do not disagree with that at all. I know we will get a resurrected body like christ did. However, when i read scripture and more specifically daniel where it mentions how at a certain time multitudes in the dust of the earth will awake some to everlasting life and others to contempt, and you count the weeks which leads up to Christ's life time and after and around the time of the fall of jerusalem, it seems to me that before Christ, men simply died and awaited in the the realm of the dead. After his ressurection and establishment if the new covenant, if you accepted christ, you got access to God's presence. I am not arrogant enough to say i know for sure, but it seems to me the ressurection occured in the 1st century. This was the ressurection of the already dead into gods presence. Now we are in the church age or new covenant age and man has direct access to God's presence instead of waiting in sheol after death. At death we receive a resurrected body and go to be with the lord as paul said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Paul also mentioned how in order for a tree to grow the seed MUST "die" first. As what is sown is corruptable and what is raised is incoruptable.so death is required for the ressurected glorified body just as it was with christ.

      Good to hear from you. We all have our own interpretation, so I have to say I disagree with you based on scripture...when Paul said absent from the body present with the Lord - he was talking about his desire not to die and have to await the resurrection which could be 1000's of years, as it has been...in that passage 2nd Cor. 5. 1-10 Paul is wishing to be translated and not see death, that is one interpretation among many scholars according to the expositors bible commentary. So the tent in that passage represents our mortality as it collapses, the building is immortality as it stands forever in comparison to a tent...but "nakedness" refers to our condition in the grave where we appear with no flesh on our bones and we are -naked. Read 2nd Peter 3.16---Peter says Paul wrote some things that are hard to understand and that those who are unwise and untaught wrestle to their own destruction...you have done that, sorry to say. So your personal views contradict scripture...we all wait in the grave till Christ comes, the text in Daniel 12 that you quote is a reference to the first resurrection but there are 2 resurrections , Rev. 20:4-6 and they are 1000 years a part....but in Daniel there is a special resurrection of those who crucified Christ alongwith the Jewish leaders, for Christ said that during His trial - that they would see Him coming in the clouds of glory - but again, that is a special resurrection and not the complete resurrection of the wicked as in Rev. 20....so there is a few things you misunderstand.

(See Deissmann"s Light, &c, pp. 372-8, 441-5). It is not therefore a N. T word, as some have supposed.

      the end = the sunteleia. Sunteleia = meeting together of all that marks the consummation of the age; not telos = the actual end, verses: Matthew 24:6, Matthew 24:13, Matthew 24:14.

      The Second Coming of Christ (a phrase not found in the Bible) is expressed by the apostles in the following special terms:
      (1) "Parousia" (parousia), a word fairly common in Greek, with the meaning "presence" (2 Corinthians 10:10; Philippians 2:12). More especially it may mean "presence after absence," "arrival" (but not "return," unless this is given by the context), as in 1 Corinthians 16:17; 2 Corinthians 7:6,7; Philippians 1:26. And still more particularly it is applied to the Coming of Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:1,8; James 5:7,8; 2 Peter 1:16; 3:4,12; 1 John 2:28--in all 13 times, besides 2 Thessalonians 2:9, where it denotes the coming of Anti-christ. This word for Christ's Second Coming passed into the early Patristic literature (Diognetus, vii.6, e.g.), but its use in this sense is not invariable. For instance the word in Ignatius, Philadelphians, ix.2, means the Incarnation. Or the Incarnation is called the first Parousia, as in Justin, Trypho, xiv. But in modern theology it means invariably the Second Coming. Recent archaeological discoveries have explained why the word received such general Christian use in the special sense. In Hellenistic Greek it was used for the arrival of a ruler at a place, as is evidenced by inscriptions in Egypt, Asia Minor, etc. Indeed, in an Epidaurus inscription of the 3rd century BC (Dittenberger, Sylloge
      (2), Number 803, 34), "Parousia" is applied to a manifestation of Aesculapius. Consequently, the adoption by the Greek-speaking Christians of a word that already contained full regal and even Divine concepts was perfectly natural. (The evidence is well summarized in Deissmann, Light from the Ancient East3, 372-78, German edition, 281-87.) (2) "Epiphany" epiphaneia), "manifestation," used of the Incarnation in 2 Timothy 1:10, but of the Second Coming in 2 Thessalonians 2:8; 1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 4:1,8; Titus 2:13. The word was used like Parousia in Hellenistic Greek to denote the ceremonial arrival of rulers; compare Deissmann, as above.
      (3) "Apocalypse" apokalupsis), "revelation," denotes the Second Coming in 1 Corinthians 1:7; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:7,13; 4:13.
      (4) "Day of the Lord, more or less modified, but referring to Christ in 1 Corinthians 1:8; 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:14; Philippians 1:6,10; 2:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:2. The phrase is used of the Father in the strict Old Testament sense in Acts 2:20; 2 Peter 3:12; Revelation 1:6-14, and probably in 2 Peter 3:10. Besides, as in the Old Testament and the intermediate literature, "day of wrath," "last day," or simply "day" are used very frequently.
      The most debated question is that of the time of the Parousia. Here Mark 13:30 parallel Luke 21:32 parallel Matthew 24:34 place it within Christ's generation, Mark 9:1 parallel Luke 9:27 parallel Matthew 16:28 within the lifetime of some of His hearers, Matthew 10:23 before all the cities of Judea are closed to Christ's apostles. (Only the first of these contains any reference to the fall of Jerusalem.) Then there is "ye shall see" of Mark 14:62; Luke 13:35 parallel Matthew 23:39. Agreeing with this are the exhortations to watchfulness (Mark 13:33-37; Luke 12:40 parallel Matthew 24:44, etc., with many parables, such as the Ten Virgins). Now Mark 13:32 parallel Matthew 24:36 do not quite contradict this, for knowledge of the generation is quite consistent with ignorance of the day and hour; "It will be within your generation, but nothing more can be told you, so watch!" The real difficulty lies in Mark 13:10 parallel Matthew 24:14, the necessity of all Gentiles hearing the gospel (Luke 21:24 is hardly relevant). To leave the question here, as most conservative scholars do, is unsatisfactory, for Mark 13:10 is of no deep value for apologetic service and this value is far outweighed by the real contradiction with the other passages. The key, probably, lies in Matthew 10:18, from which Mark 13:10 differs only in insisting on all Gentiles, perhaps with the apostles' thought that "world" and "Roman Empire" were practically coextensive. With this assumption the data yield a uniform result.
      1. Solution of Problem:
      It appears, then, that Christ predicted that shortly after His death an event would occur of so transcendental a nature that it could be expressed only in the terms of the fullest eschatological symbolism. John has a clear interpretation of this. In place of the long Parousia discourses in the Synoptists, we have, in the corresponding part of the Fourth Gospel, John 13-17, dealing not only with the future in general but concretely with Christ's coming and the Judgment. Christ indeed came to His own (John 14:18), and not He only but the Spirit also (14:16), and even the Father (14:23). When the disciples are so equipped, their presence in the world subjects the world to a continual sifting process of judgment (16:11). The fate of men by this process is to be eternally fixed (3:18), while the disciples newly made are assured that they have already entered into their eternal condition of blessedness (11:25,26; 5:24; 10:28; 17:2,3). Equally directly the presence of Christ is conceived in Revelation 3:20. So in Paul, the glorified Christ has returned to His own to dwell in them (Romans 8:9,10, etc.), uniting them into a body vitally connected with Him (Colossians 1:18), so supernatural that it is the teacher of `angels' (Ephesians 3:10), a body whose members are already in the Kingdom (Colossians 1:13), who even sit already in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). The same thought is found in such synoptic passages (Luke 7:28 parallel Matthew 11:11; Luke 17:21(?); see KINGDOM OF GOD) as represent the Kingdom as present. Already the eschatological promises were realized in a small group of men, even though they still lacked the transforming influence of the Spirit. Compare the continuous coming of Matthew 26:64 (Luke 22:69).
      Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
      Mark 13;30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done
      Luke 21;32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
      Matt 24;34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
      Mark 9;1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of those that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
      Luke 9;27 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of those that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
      Matt 16;28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
      Matthew 10;23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
      Mark 14;62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
      Luke 13;35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
      Luke 12;40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
      coming = presence. Greek. parousia. This is the first of twenty-four occurrences of this important word (Matthew 24:3, Matthew 24:27, Matthew 24:37, Matthew 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Corinthians 16:17. 2 Corinthians 7:6, 2 Corinthians 7:7; 2 Corinthians 10:10. Philippians 1:1, Philippians 1:26; Philippians 2:12. 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:9. James 5:7, James 5:8; 2 Peter 1:16; 2 Peter 3:4, 2 Peter 3:12; 1 John 2:28). The Papyri show that "from the Ptolemaic period down to the second century A.D. the word is traced in the East as a technical expression for the arrival or the visit of the king or the emperor", also of other persons in authority, or of troops. (See Deissmann"s Light, &c, pp. 372-8, 441-5). It is not therefore a N. T word, as some have supposed.

    Amen brother I'm enjoying your teachings the only thing I wanted to add though is that Domitian was the first Emperor to claim himself as God while yet alive, Nero did not do that, only after his death is when Roman Emperors declare themselves as a God ,also I believe that he is the rider on the white horse talking about Domitian because the rider had a bow but no arrow
    It coincides with his background and hobby as a professional marksman and he overtook or conquered the position of Emperor while his brother Titus was on his death bed So the Roman Army was forced to make him Emperor and the next day after his brother passed the Senate made him Emperor and he went forth conquering in civil wars
    Also you said Babylon the Harlot is Jerusalem" but wasn't Jerusalem already destroyed when Revelation was written?
    I do agree with you though about the old Testament scriptures about Jerusalem being the Harlot but I believe for as the time frame I believe the Harlot is referring to Ephesus because they had a Temple of prostitution they worshipped the Goddess Diana and other female Goddess.
    Acts 19:24-40
    The story about Paul coming against Demetrius one of the craftsman of the idolatrous worship of the Goddess Diana.

      The pastor said Revelation was written in the mid 60s AD, so the destruction of Jerusalem was “soon to come.”
      But, if you believe all of this teaching, that Revelation is history, I think you’d be sadly mistaken. So many confuse the harlot and the beast.
      We must remember, “How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
      ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭26‬, ‭29‬-‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      Nero did not ‘come up out of the earth’, nor did he make the whole world worship the first beast, that had suffered the deadly wound.
      I think Rome is the harlot. It is the city that ruled the earth. It will be burned and eaten by the ten kings Satan sets up.
      I think the first beast of Revelation 13 is the enemies of God.
      I think, the head that received the deadly was the RabbinicalJews at the Siege of Masada. Netanyahu is trying to heal that wound today.

      I have been consistently studying the book of Revelation asking God for more understanding of this apocalyptic book of the Bible and when I made my first comment that was a year ago and I have learned so much since that time and the Pastor John was right about Jerusalem being the harlot because the Pastor said that in Revelation 17 all the descriptions of the Harlot represents all Jewish symbols which she was symbolic of the Old Testament high priest robes and on her forehead says Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots the same as the Old Testament high priest he wore a golden crown on his head with an engravement on a ribbon saying Holiness To God and the beast that she is riding on represents the Roman Empire because Jerusalem was a province of Rome and the colors of scarlet bright red represents blood and the Roman Catholic Cardinals they are shown both in combination because Jerusalem was a province of Rome.
      You said that you think Rome is the Harlot but that is impossible go back and read the books of the major prophets and you will find out what the Bible means when it says " Harlot.
      Jerusalem was in a covenant relationship with God they were the first nation that the Holy Ghost came upon on the day of Pentecost they were the first nation that God established his commandments with all 613 statutes and ordinances
      Rome is a heathen nation Heathen nations before the day of Pentecost were separated from God because God was trying to establish a people unto himself and he chose Israel because Israel is his footstool .
      You said that Nero did not come from the earth nor did the whole world worship the first beast.
      The Bible says out of the sea was a beast that had seven heads and ten horns and one of the heads looked as if it was wounded as his deadly wound was healed.
      The beast from the sea as a whole represents the Roman Empire the 7 heads represents 7 Emperor's
      Rev.17:10-11
      10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
      11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
      These are the 7 Roman Emperors: 1.Julius Ceasar most Internet searches leaves out Julius Ceasar but you can not just wipe someone out of history because the Romans had him defied as a God
      2. Augustus
      3.Tiberius
      4.Caligula
      5.Claudius
      6.Nero
      The scripture says that 5 have fallen and that would be the first 5 that I listed and that would be from Julius Ceasar to Claudius
      And then it says one is which is Nero and the other has not yet come and when he comes he will continue for a short space and this is the Emperor Galba in which he reigned for a few months and then Otho after him he reigned for a few months and the last one Vetillius who reigned for a few months these 3 Emperors reigned for a short period of time because the beast whose deadly wound was healed Nero went into Perdition and in the spirit realm he caused all kinds of confusion within the Roman Empire because those 3 Emperors were slain by the sword and when the Bible says that all the world wondered after the beast that means that the Roman Senate was trying to track down Nero to bring him to trial because of the fire that burned down Rome and Nero knew that the Senate had totally turned against him and he left Rome but when they found his body Nero had committed suicide and the Senate burned the remains of Nero's corpse.
      And when the Bible says Earth in the book of Revelation it is not referring to the whole earth because the new testament was written in Greek and the Greek word for Earth is ( gen)
      meaning the inhabitants of a region or country and when you see the word World in the book of Revelation it is not referring to the whole world but the Greek word for World is ( Oikoumenēs) Means the inhabited land Which was Jerusalem and the word Nation means a heathen nation in the Greek the word Nation is ( Ethnos ) Means Non - Jewish a heathen nation or a Gentile nation such as the Roman Empire
      A lot of preachers teach the book of Revelation and apply it to the whole world but it was not to be applied to the whole world but for Jerusalem and the Roman Empire only because the 7 seals 7 trumpets and 7 vials are God's judgments against Jerusalem and the Roman Empire.
      And you said Satan sets up ten kings in the book of Revelation those ten kings were defeated by the Lamb and the Lamb overcame them and God ( Rev.17: 14 ) used the Ten kings according to his will and the Ten kings represents the ten wars that occurred in Jerusalem from 115ad through 1967ad These wars were the great tribulation that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 the war in 70Ad was the beginning of sorrows but God allowed Jerusalem to be taken over by heathen nations because of Jerusalem's Iniquities and sins Jerusalem was charged with the blood of the prophets and the Saints and all the innocent blood within the Earth The Pharisees told Pontius Pilate that we only have Ceasar as our king so Crucify him and let his blood be upon us and our children so the time of Jacob's troubles had to run its course all the way into the 20th century and there is no such thing as a 7year tribulation period because the tribulation period for Jerusalem the time of Jacob's troubles has already been fulfilled the Gentiles are not Jacob ; only Jerusalem is identified as Jacob but still preachers teach that a 7year tribulation period will come upon this whole world but this is false doctrine.
      And in Revelation chapter 13 the beast from the sea represents what is indicated in the book of Daniel the Lion is Babylon the bear is the Medes and Persians the Leopard is Greece Since Rome conquered Greece this makes the beast from the sea the Roman Empire it was more powerful than all the other nations before them and as I indicated earlier Nero " the head whose deadly wound was healed and the beast from the earth is the Roman Emperor Domitian he had two horns like a Lamb and spoke as a dragon and he exercised all the authority of the first beast whose deadly wound was healed (Nero) and Domitian had statues of himself set up all over the Roman Empire and he demanded for the Christian Jews and Gentiles to bow before his statues holding burning incense in their right hand praying Ceasar-God Divine-is Lord Savior And the Christians who compromised their faith to continue to buy and sell represents those that had the mark in the forehead and those Christians that would not bow before his statues they were martyred.
      And concerning the false prophet this switches back to Jerusalem and the temple where deception was very much alive and the Antichrist which were the Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes and Essenes and the Zealots these religious leaders were all Antichrist because they say we have only Ceasar as our king so Crucify him and they did not accept Jesus as their Messiah.
      It was more than one false prophet there were many false prophets there was one such false Messiah by the name of "Judas of Galilee he told the Jews that God would fight and protect them against the Roman siege but it was a false prophecy

      One obvious point is Revelation 17:18, “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” That was not Jerusalem, it was Rome. Nero committed suicide in 68 AD. How could he have been the one to burn the city when the siege of Jerusalem started in 70 AD? How can you cite ‘Roman Catholic Cardinals’ when the Catholic church wasn’t even in existence until a few hundred years after everything was supposedly finished?
      The word for 'earth' in Rev 13 is 'ge', not 'gen'.
      When did the Roman Empire do these miracles? Rev 13:12- 15 "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
      Revelation is written to, "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:" I am a servant of Jesus Christ and it is written to me.
      Lastly, Rev 13:11 "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Look up 'overcome them'. That is the way it is going to go until Jesus returns.
      In closing, I do not believe the beast rising up out of the water is a future event. Read Rev 12:17. That describes the last couple of thousand years. We still have the 42 months ahead of us where the beast from the earth will demand everyone worships the first beast. I hope we are ready.

    My question to partial preterism is if we understand what Rev 1:1, 3 & 22:20 means, why still say that most prophecies were fulfilled and not all?
    Could it be that we still have some residue bias on what we expect vs. the bible's interpretation?
    Could it be a possibility that maybe we are not seeing yet that all that is left is to enter Gods rest?
    Could it be that the enemy that Christ is placing under his feet is our death/grave?
    Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
    Could this be what we are left with? That when we see him again, it's to be with the Lord forever when we die?
    Granted ! thanks to the 1st century church that preached the gospel under great tribulation and persecution....today is still moving forward and the never ending Kingdom of Christ is in full position placing death under Christ as time goes on.

    Jeremiah 25 as well as Isaiah 51 Psalm 75 and a couple of places refer to the symbol of the cup. The judgment of Babylon is as well proclaimed in these and several other prophetic books of the OT. There isn't any scripture I could refer to where Babylon is Jerusalem. The fact that G-d calls Jerusalem a harlot does not prove she is the harlot in the book of revelation; likewise is a harlot and adultueress not one and the same. Jerusalem as well as Babylon are compared to Sodom and Gomorah in respect to judgement. Even the book of revelation calls Jerusalem spiritually Sodom and Egypt. Why not Babylon? Jerusalem has never been a great trading centre for the mentioned goods in revelation 18. The priestly garment had purple and scarlet elements as well as precious stones. But I doubt that this indicates that Jerusalem is the harlot in revelation. Interpreting the book of revelation historically where Nero is the antichrist would require Jesus to kill him and to have a false prophet at his side as well. There's a number of other serious difficulties that arise from such assumptions. Nero is certainly a foreshadow of the antichrist and indeed carries his name, among many others that should follow. Thanks for sharing anyway. G-d bless.

      +matitjah St. Peter writes, "She who is in Babylon send you greetings". Hmmmm? Where was Peter at when he wrote this? I'd say Jerusalem since he spent most of his life there, while Paul and Timothy spent their days all throughout Asia Minor and Rome. And you might want to read all of Matthew 23 for Jesus Himself clearly states that they (the false Jews) would suffer the complete wrath of God for their future murders of the Saints and the Prophets, just as their forefathers had done.
      Jerusalem was also referred to as Babylon because of their love for idolatry, most notably from the temple cultic worship and animal sacrificing. As St. Paul explained, "They have a love and zeal for God, but not in accordance with the truth. For they worship God with some sort of works..." Babylonians were very idolatrous as were the Apostate first century Jews. While they had the appearance of Godly worship, they carried on with Babylonian traditions of wearing fine clothing, eating hearty meals, loving the places and chairs of honor and greetings, and so forth. And like Babylon, she had become the place (desolate place) of demons and false teachers. And as such, they would be destined for the great fires and suffer the most devastating catastrophes the Jews ever faced; death by starvation, famine, c anabolism, disease, and fire.
      And you are slightly confused about the merchants (Revelation) and traveling by sea. This is figurative of first century Jews trying to convert Gentiles into Judaism, and thus generate more revenue via the temple cultic system. Just as Jesus states, "You travel abroad by land and sea to convert a single proselyte, and when you do, you make him twice as much the son of hell as yourselves...." The corrupted Judaism was a very profitable business; selling mints, fragrances, animals, perfumes, and other temple items, very much like the Greeks, Romans, and even the Babylonians; this is how the Herod's made their money by stealing from the temple treasury and robbing the people of tithes. This is why Jesus began whipping them and yelled, "It is written! My House shall be a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of thieves!" Oh, and let us not forget about the taxes that were required, as well as the Jewish controlled money printing (coinage), which all contributed to God's anger of his House.
      Not Babylonian? I understand the lack of writing to tell you straight forwardly. But I'd say St. John's allegorical attribution to Jerusalem/Babylon is right on.

      I suggest you need to do an in depth historical study on what Jerusalem traded in her day. She was the hub for massive trade in all such items mentioned in Revelation 18.
      She said she was NO WIDOW, only one City/people that applied to. She murdered the prophets.....no other nation is mentioned in scripture as killing the prophets. She also filled up the measure of her sin and was repaid in full by YHVH.
      Daniel chapter 12 is emphatic....'when the power of the Holy people was completely shattered'.....all that was spoken of would come to pass. What was the power of the Holy people?....none other than their covenant/Torah with YHVH. That was completely shattered in 70AD with the utter destruction of the Temple. Jerusalem is also a city that sits on seven hills.....and was historically known as the seven hilled city.

The wicked & the enemies of the Lord aren't just those who are unbelievers who don't go to church, MANY will be those who are part of churchianity.
    Extremely interesting that this preacher doesn't go into explaining WHY Jesus was AGAINST the church at Ephesus and WHY Jesus warns about their candlestick being taken from them. It's because they had LEFT (not "lost") their FIRST LOVE. This is what ought to have been preached. THIS IS the problem with ALL the church of this day AS WELL AS being LUKEWARM. Reason he didn't preach the present day condition of the church is probably because this Peace church resembles the church at Ephesus. That church would have looked like the perfect church because of their labour, patience, intolerance for false apostles etc. But Jesus was AGAINST them.
    Also, this man LIES, he says you cannot understand Revelation unless you know it's history. What a load of bulldung.

      Nero persecuted many believers in Rome during the years immediately after this letter. However it was in Asia (the province of Asia) that a period of persecution happened around this time. Not all of the Roman empire went through Christian persecution. It was to those Asian churches that Revelation is written to.

It was the Jews who (in this period only) stirred up the persecution against the church which they perceived was a heretical sect of Judaism. Judaism was exempt from worshipping Caesar, but because of this distinction the Jews pointed out, Rome then applied persecution against the church for not worshipping Caesar.

  • @JohnnyDoe1012
    @JohnnyDoe1012 Před 5 lety +2

    Revelation could not have possibly been written before 70 A.D., which would have placed John's vision around the time or shortly after Paul was still writing his epistles to the church. John was an old man in the 90's so he would not have been an old man in the 60's A.D., and Nero had no interest in exiling Christians but loved murdering them. Why would Peter and Paul die under Nero's reign while John didn't?
    And what other events in the 1st century A.D. are ever claimed as taking place 2 or 3 decades earlier (or later, for that matter)? With all of the accurate records kept during the Roman Empire era and surviving today, there is little room for such a vast difference being feasible. It's commonly believed that Jesus died around 30 or 33 A.D., Paul and Peter were martyred in the 60's, Nero lived from 37-68 A.D., etc. No one says Jesus died in 3 A.D. or 60 A.D., or that Peter and Paul were martyred in the 30's A.D. or 90's A.D., or that Nero actually reigned around the time of Jesus' ministry as recorded in the Gospels.
    The majority of scholarship places John's writing of Revelation in the mid-90's, but somehow preterists think it's ok to switch this around by 3 decades? The great fire of Rome took place for nearly a week during 64 A.D., but no one places it in 63 A.D. let alone 34 A.D.
    A powerful earthquake in 60 A.D. devastated Laodicea. And yet no one ever says that earthquake took place in 30 A.D. 30 years prior. With the vast majority of evidence to the contrary, preterism literally rests on this single pillar of the dating of the book of Revelation.
    2 Corinthians 3:7-11 and Hebrews 10:9-10 both clearly show that both the Old and New covenants could not have existed side-by-side. The Mosaic law had long since finished by the time of the 2nd temple's destruction. Even Hebrews @-13, which preterists love to quote, says the Mosaic law had already become obsolete so it's impossible for it to have still been 'growing obsolete' at the time of it's writing pre-70 A.D.
    Many Old Covenant saints came out of their graves for a short time after Jesus resurrected and appeared to a lot of people (Matthew @-53). One could reasonably infer that they testified about who Christ is while they walked the earth again for a short time. Christ is the end of the Mosaic law for all who believe in Him. There was nothing left to still be in effect after the cross. The laws of purification were superseded by the Jesus' blood. There is no longer a requirement to stone those who don't celebrate the Friday night to Saturday night Sabbath. Those who celebrate the Jewish feasts and holidays are on equal footing with those who don't (Romans 14).
    What was left to still be in effect for about 40 years from the cross until 70 A.D. with the fall of Jerusalem? Sacrifices? Jesus was the last sacrifice, and there was nothing forgiven under the animal sacrifices that took place after the cross. To say otherwise is blasphemous to what He accomplished for us.
    The animal sacrifices after the cross until 70 A.D. were not authorized to forgive sin and were an insult to the cross. Remember Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 when they brought unauthorized sacrifices? They died horribly, by fire. No such thing took place after the cross. Why is that? It's because the Mosaic law was finished, and the New Covenant of grace was in effect and showing mercy to give them time to repent in Jerusalem before it fell. Had the Old Covenant somehow still been in effect, there would have been mass casualties at the temple since Jesus was the only way to forgiveness going forward.
    No real evidence for a pre-70 A.D. dating of Revelation, a position in diametric opposition to nearly 2000 years of overwhelming scholarly consensus of a post-70 A.D. writing, and no way for the Mosaic Law to exist alongside the New Covenant... A very, very shaky foundation indeed.

      Because Revelation is not a history book but the emphasis is mostly on prophecy. You're inserting a presupposition into the text and reading it right back out of it.
      In Revelation 1:11 John was instructed to write only what he was shown, and that's exactly what he did.
      Revelation was in no way, shape, or form about the 2nd temple. Read every verse in its proper context and an honest evaluation will conclude this.
      How is it that Revelation 3:12, 7:15, 14:15, 14:17, 15:5, 16:1, 16:17 were NOT referring the 2nd temple but everything in Revelation 11 somehow was? The alternative involves hermeneutical gymnastics that would earn the gold medal in the Eisegesis Olympics.
      "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name." Rev 3:12
      Is this about the 2nd temple in earthly Jerusalem? Is God going to make those who overcome physical pillars in an ichabod structure that no longer contained forgiveness of sin, the act of which had been transferred to the New Covenant after the cross? Obviously not.
      "Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them."- Rev 7:15
      Is this saying that those who came out of the Great Tribulation (from all nations and languages, by the way, and not just from the Roman Empire), were actually serving God day and night in the 2nd physical temple? Not a chance.
      These are just a couple examples of why it makes absolutely no sense to try and make the claim that the 2nd temple was reference in Revelation and must have been standing at the time it was written. This interpretation is only made possible in a vacuum with no regard for the Scriptural context.

      It has happened. Christ returned in the 1st century generation and the Apostles were NOT wrong. The Apostles understood the NATURE of Christ's coming, unlike modern day Christians. Christ returned spiritually, "on the clouds of heaven" in 70 AD when apostate Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed, which also saw the birth of the NEW Covenant age of the church. To "come on the clouds" is Hebraic apocalyptic language meaning to come SPIRITUALLY in divine judgement and glory. It's consistent with what used to happen in the Old Testament when God used the Asyrians to pass judgement on Egypt, the enemies of the Hebrews. God was said to have come "on the clouds of heaven". In the New Testament, the Romans were used by the divine Son of Man to pass judgement on the "wicked and crooked generation", and the temple which was the "capital" centre of the Old Covenantal world.
      This was believed by the Apostles to be Christ's parousia (spiritual presence). Christ said He will come "in the manner of His Father" in that 1st century generation.
      The Apostles understood this "coming with clouds" terminology and the concept of a spiritual coming from the apocalyptic language that was used in the Old Testament. The eschatology (end-times) of the Bible was only concerned with the Old Covenant age of Israel and its Old Covenant laws (Torah).

    The second beast of Rev 13 comes up from the earth,,, a house built on sand. Jesus warned about this. it looks like a lamb,,, it appears to be a lamb, ie christian looking. but it speaks like a dragon,,, ie the father of lies. This beast is apostate christianity. the sheep in this beast BELONG to their master. He calls them his sheep. Jesus said to Peter, feed MY sheep. Evangelical churches teach submission as a primary part of belonging as "members" of "their" fold. If you want to be apart of their economy, you must be marked as submissive members, under the head pastors authority. You can never contribute - sell- anything without it. He is their master, and they "his" sheep. Some are so bold as to say they sit in Moses seat!!! The mark of this beast is the elevation and adoration of man. The masters of them body soul and spirit 666. MAN MAN MAN. remember the children of the exodus were marked in their forehead and their hand. they were marked by God much like these fools are marked by man and their love of man. read on Amazon "THE BOOK OF THE REVELATION, THE OVERCOMER AND THE APOSTASY" for more on this.

      let me attempt to help you see something. If you read Rev. 17.15 you find that the "sea" represents multitudes, nations and people. In contrast the earth represents the opposite as in few people, the USA grew up in obscurity . The 2nd beast of Rev 13 is apostate Protestantism, at first - Protestantism of the USA was for the constitution - free speech - liberty to all, but the day is coming when she will change the constitution and speak as a dragon. She will give honor to the first beast of Rev. 13 which is the Papacy, as in days of old---the Papacy dominated the world and persecuted true Christians , it also says the beast received a deadly wound---that wound was from Napoleon who took the the Power of the Papacy away- in 1798, --but it then says the wound was healed and the whole world wondered after the beast....in 1929 Mussolini reinstated power back to the Vatican and they are now an independent state that receives ambassadors from around the world, for she is a political system disguised as a spiritual system...Rev. 13 says the beast will be healed and the whole world will wonder after it and the Papacy now has a world following...but this is my point - in the past the Papacy used the civil power to persecute her enemies and one day soon she will use the Protestants of the USA........And the reason I am always right is because I had excellent teachers and I paid for my education....so I take no credit......you are close but still far off in your understanding...but I appreciate your interest in spiritual things. There was only one time in my life when I was wrong - that was when I was right but thought I was wrong...lol

    It makes more to sense to expand the timeframe between 70AD and 135AD, the full span of the Judeo-Roman wars that finalized with the Bar Kokhba Revolt. It was under Emperor Hadrian's reign, when Jerusalem was rebuilt as Aelia Capitolina, that Hadrian had a temple built to Jupiter and a statue of himself on the temple mount. This could be interpreted to be the abomination of desolation. This event provoked the Jewish revolt and escalated to the permanent expulsion of Jews from Jerusalem.

The caught up and coming in the clouds are terms used of judgement that those who received the letters understood because THEY knew the Old Testament and understood apocalyptic terminology. Are you familiar with the Old Testament? What about Isaiah 19:1. The Lord is riding on a swift cloud....was he really on a cloud?? No! We see in chapter 20 that Assyrians attacked Egypt.

      Jeremy Walsh in regards to 2nd Peter...again I see a letter written to a specific people. Look it is almost a mockery and borders on disrespect to the original recipients of this letter to try to dismiss their situation and comfort they may have received from these letters to try and form it to what it may mean to YOU. Do me a favor. Re-read the Bible and try to imagine that you are actually a member of the specific church it was written to. Take it for what it says and what it would mean to you as a first century believer. I think you will have a different outlook on scripture after that. You will then realize that the Bible was written FOR us not TO us. BIG difference. To say it was TO us is saying that it meant NOTHING to them in their struggles of persecution in their day longing for relief....they needed to be encouraged they needed to know that there was help on the way! We are PRIVILEGED enough to be able to have the Word and be able to see what they went through and can find encouragement in reading it and can take principles away from it but there are specific things that we must not try to apply to us today as it was intended for a REAL AUDIENCE needing encouragement through a time they were being persecuted for their beliefs! I mean REAL persecution. Like death!!

    I agree... Let scripture interpret scripture. The Book of Revelation defines Jerusalem NOT as Babylon, but as Sodom and Egypt (Rev 11:8) and specifically states that's where our Lord was crucified. Moreover, Jerusalem was under Roman domination since the siege of 63 BC by Pompey. It had no Jewish king, no government and the Romans appointed and deposed the Temple's High Priests and sounds NOTHING like Babylon, "that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth". The priest were so powerless they had to have Rome execute Jesus and had to have Pilate post a watch at the tomb.
