Considering the Bible did not yet exist at the time Revelation was written, it seems obvious that verse is referring to Revelation itself, not the Bible as a whole.\n\nThe question you should be asking instead, is why did the author feel the need to put such a verse into Revelation?

Whats scary is I'm an agnostic and I know the answer to this.\n\nThe Bible, which as you know is not the word of God but a story, explains about the flood of Noah. The first 10 generations had these long life spans, Noah lived to be 600 he was the 10th. After the flood the creation scientists believe that life spans started getting shorter. This is also their explanation why the Earth can be 6000 years old and has fossills that appear to be millions of years old, because during the flood there was rapid decay.  They also believe no creature died before the sin of Adam.  It is because we learn the creation science and compare it to our own understanding of chemistry, anthropology, astronomy, physics, biology, and history, that we reject this creation science view, but put it in its proper context, that it is a mythology.\n\nSo to answer the question, your life span is shorter according to the judeo christian mythology because of the flood during the days of Noah.

If you think that the Bible is a literal description of the beginning of the world, then the "tree" which you refer to would have died long ago...after all, even in the counting of fundamentalist's ages, the world is AT LEAST 8000 years old.  However, I believe that this a figurative, not literal, tree or trees, which are an example to us of the gifts that God has given us.

True, and it is what I've been saying all along. When I was a Christian, I still didn't believe in the letters of Paul. Was it not the prophets of the ancient times that brought laws and the word of G-d through revelation (ie. a burning bush, the direct voice of G-d)? Then years later, the "new" testament is revealed through letters and secondary sources written by people who weren't even there.  Another great point, thanks for the question.

930 years old when he died.Noah was 600 at time of flood and I thought he worked on the ark for 100 years (?)

I'm in Matthew right now, just finished the old testament.  so zero times.  I'm a Biblical follower.  Any religion of Christianity that beleives they are right should be the same, but for some reason they divide themselves into infinite amounts of dissagreement and confusion.  They have ministers and interpereters, but there really only is the Bible to get the knowledge from.

Good questions! Here are my answers:\n\n1. God created... No. a 1,000 days  to man is LIKE  a day to Jah. Indifinite time is indicated, otherwise it is ridiculous\n\n2. It was the earth that stood still not the sun. The verse was written from the perspective of  the writer who was obviously here on earth.\n\n3. Yes in ancient Israel. No, to Christians. According to Col 2:14, and Romans 7:6 . Christians no longer under the letters of the law but spirit (intent) of the law.\n\n4.Cut your hands. No. obviously ridiculous. Restrain your self well is likely meaning\n\n5. Eat my body… No to cannibalism. It was meant to listen and live by his words. (John 6:68)\n\n6. 144 K. Yes, not ridiculous. They rule the earth subjects are humans on earth ( Rev 5:9, etc )\n\n7. New Jerusalem. No, symbolic of God’s kingdom. Ancient Davidic line of kingdoms had Jerusalem as their capital\n\n8. Beast w/ multiple head. Symbolic. Of human kingdoms according to Chap 17 & 18 of Revelations, also Daniel chap 8.

It could have been millions of years for all we know. The Bible is written in Hebrew. The word that translates into day refers to "a period of time". That was doubrful a twenty-hour hour period. Besides, if I day is measured by the earth's rotation around the sun, how would the creation of the earth and sun be measured? Days as we know them did not exist yet, because they sun and earth didn't exist yet. \nCouldn't have been timed on a stopwatch. \nSo yes, it was probably millions of years, years as we know them - so many revolutions around the sun.

Huge Problems!!! where!!  have you ever thought the rules of the past may not be applied to what is today!  Adam is believed to have been created as a perfect being, and we know now that the humans are not perfect! get the point!!  Once upon a time Africa was a huge forest, now it is a big desert! ever wondered why!  think about it.\nDuring the time of ADAM and EVE, some believe didn't even have a spoken language, and now, we have so many languages!! ever wondered why!\nEarth is a living, or dying plant.  what was in the past, we many never see, or see again.\nCan you explain any of my questions! if you can! then you will get the answer to your questions as well.  Good luck if you can.\n\nIf the Genesis confuse you, try the Quran, but first take two asprines before you start reading. \ntake my advice.  Sincerely llewrose MD :)

its only like 6,000 years old because it has been about 2000 years since Jesus came to earth and about 4,000 years before God created the world and the universe check with some bible experts

First consider some scientific estimates or guesses. Not all scientists are going to agree. The Universe or heavens 20 billion years old. The Earth 4.6 billion years old. The Moon 200 to 300 million years younger than the Earth. Dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago. The Ice Age 2.5 million years ago. Oldest evidence of flesh man 7000 to 14000 years old.\n\nThere are 3 earth ages (II Pet.3:5-7), same earth but different ages. We are now in the 2nd earth age. Between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2 is a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between these 2 verses is Satan’s rebellion (Rev.12:3-4) and “his tail” drew 1/3 of God’s children. Between these 2 verses also belongs all fossils and remains, such as Dinosaurs.\n\nIn Gen.1:2 we have the of the end of the 1st earth age and the beginning of the 2nd. For clarity Gen.1:2 needs to be divided (see below).\n\n(A) Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. \n\n(B) Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.\n\nIn (A) Gen.1:2 the first occurrence of the word “was” has been corrupted and is “became”. It reads “And the earth became without form, and void”. The end of the 1st earth age.\n\nIn (B) Gen.1:2 we have the beginning of 2nd earth age, the one we live in now. Man did not exist in flesh till this earth age.\n\nBetween (A & B) Gen.1:2 is also a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between (A & B) Gen.1:2  is; a global flood (not Noah’s which was a local flood), the destruction of Atlantis, the breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.\n\nTime means nothing to our Father. He is very patient and loves His children. Instead of destroying Satan and 1/3 of His children, He destroyed that first earth age. Now in this 2nd earth age we all are born innocent in the flesh. Father came in the flesh Himself, Jesus Christ, and paid the price for all. Father defeated Satin, that is death, legally. So now His children have a decision, to choose life or to choose death. It’s your decision. Choose life!!

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.

This is dervied from something called "Usher's Chronology." During the Middle Ages, a monk by name of Usher, thought that he could take the various geneologies in the Bible, add them all up, and come up with the age of the earth. Since almost all of the geneologies were passed down from father to son orally, and since the earth began long before human history began, his conclusion ( about 6,000 years ) was ludicrous. \n\nSome people still choose to believe this for reasons known only to them.
