Do you think we are in revelation right now?

God has revealed everything but do men heed? Don't worry about what the revelation has to say because it will really come to pass just as long as you hold on to your faith. This life is not really that important. There is something more precious than life on earth.

The Bible is very clear when the author is speaking in parables.  It will indicate that in the notes.  Other than that I do believe it is literal.  Many people tend to use the book of Revelation as proof that the Bible can't be taken "literally."  What we have to consider is that Revelation was written by a man in Biblical times who was seeing and trying to describe events of today.  He's never seen a plane or a helicopter or a gun or a laser.  There was no technology like we have today.  His vocabulary was limited to what he knew.  Can we take Revelation literally?  Absolutely.  But we have to dig a little deeper to try to understand what the author was referencing.  God will reveal these truths to us through prayer and seeking to know and understand.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

First we are not in the tribulation period and Matthew 24 doesnt have anything to do with us [as it is about the trib. period], but other then that here is a good prophecy link on some fullfillments and other future things to come:\n\nprophecy: http://www.livingwaters.com/Merchant2/graphics/tracts/prophecy/index.html \nthe gospel: http://www.needGod.com do you know what it is? think again. it might surprise you.

No, I don't.  I believe that the book of Revelations was written about politics and events that were current nearly 2,000 years ago and has no relevance today.  I know that various preachers have been predicting the "End Times" for several hundred years and they've all been wrong.\n\nI see reliance on the concept of a "Judgement Day" as a tool for manipulating the masses and a serious cop out (i.e. "The world's a mess but have no fear, Jesus is gonna' come sort the whole nasty business out for us, so just pay your tithe and smile!")\n\nI have yet to see anything positive come out of a belief in Armageddon, just a lot of apathy, war and avoidance of important issues.  So all in all, I think we're better off forgetting about it and working for a better tommorow.

Imagine such an ancient book such as Ezekiel would be able to see the political posturing that is going on today. It may well be. We have to wait and see.

No, I don't see evidence that the Spirit is being withdrawn.  God is still working, and will be giving everyone a chance until the time is up. The Scriptures say that everyone will have heard the word, and given a chance before the end is to come.  He is working everywhere and in every place now.  The darkness is here too, but we know who wins because we read the ending of the Book, Jesus prevails!\n   Going to church and being in the Scriptures is really important right now, as being in the world is overwhelming, the tv, magazines, everything is against what the Scriptures teach, so we need to be reminded about the Lord in the middle of the week, and on Sundays too.Hopes this helps alittle bit.....

Now, just why are you so concerned about what God might, or might not do in the future? Did not Jesus say to stop worrying and to seek first the kingdom and God's righteousness? "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." \n\nIs it necessary for you to know how John's prophecies will work out, or when? Why is the outcome for other people filling your mind when the big issue is, "Can I glorify God today?" If you spend each day considering how to honour and praise God, he will take care of your future. \n\nThe book of Revelation is all about The Big Picture - what's going on back-stage, behind the scenes of this troubled earth. When we're taking part in life we see and understand little, and with frightening speed, it's time for us to leave the stage of earthly life. Revelation comforts believers as they have their eyes lifted up and away, to see how God defeats the powers of darkness. That's his job. Make the most of each day and trust in God for the future. Now, why don't you turn to Matthew chapter 5 and get your feet back on terra firma?

Many of the bible prophecies have already come to pass including the return of the Jews to Israel. Everything needed for the mark of the beast is in place and we are seeing increased weather conditions and earthquakes all of which are also in the bible. I truly believe we are in the last days. To read it for yourself, turn to revelations and Daniel. God does not tell us the exact time but gives us many of the end time signs.

As far as I've heard, yes!  I'm sure it will give great insight into what was actually meant by Revelation.  He's a great biblical scholar who writes pretty understandably.

I think we were at "THE THOUSAND YEARS" but I don't know how long would this "thousand years" would last. Its at Revelation 20:1-6\n\nI think that all that's been said in the Revelation prior to the chapter 20 (that's upto chapter 19) were all pertained to the struggle of the Christianity. Everything that is written is symbolic, now that is the problem, I don't have much idea what those symbols means. But I know that the number 666 or the beast pertains to Emperor Nero. Since the "whole world" mention in Revelation is the world/nations itself known by the Christians at that time. All I know that He is coming very soon. So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!

Yes, we are living in the days of 2Timothy3, that describes the end times.  Sounds like a summary of today.\n\nBlessings,\nDavid

I certainly hope so. There seem to be a lot of signs these days. God says that the same way you see the green leaves appear on the trees and know spring is near will be true regarding the second coming. We will see the signs and know the time is near. Timothy tells us what God knows is coming...\n"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."\n2 Timothy 3:1\nSounds kind of familiar, eh? Our world IS this way now but may have to get a lot worse before we see Him coming.\nRemember that no one knows the time except the Father.

I think that this will be a reality...but not now. There's too much sin and hate in the world. But in heaven...it will be a reality. When there is a new heaven and a new earth...it will be a reality...because there will not be any more sin.\n\nPraise God for His Promise.
