A prophet will walk among you and for those who believe in Jesus Christ he/she Will not reveal themselves for no human on Earth will believe. The words of the Bible make people believe Christ is an image of magic when they are an image of humankind. So never doubt you may have already met them. In Jesus name Amen
So I've watched Apocalypse #30 and #31 and I come with a question. From the past decade or so, the world has heard a trumpet like sound in the sky that can also be heard a hum. People in British Columbia all the way to Australia, the Philippines and Russia have heard this. Could it be the Second Coming of Jesus, resulting in the Battle of Armageddon?
For signs and indications that the End or the Second Coming of Jesus is near, see Apocalypse #1 -- ua-cam.com/video/9y9DftR1HOY/v-deo.html For Armageddon, see Apocalypse #37 -- ua-cam.com/video/j-c0ARg-s7E/v-deo.html
The city in which the 2 witnesses are killed is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt (Rev 11:7) , but we know that it is literally Jerusalem as that is the city where our Lord was crucified (Rev 11:8). After some study - I realize that both Sodom and Egypt are 2 places that received God's judgement. In Sodom - there was not one righteous person. Egypt enslaved God's people - received the plagues to include every first born child being killed if they were not covered by the blood. We do know from history that Jerusalem received judgement in AD70 when the Temple was destroyed by General Titus (As prophesied in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24). The reason why I am asking this is because I am wondering if John essentially looking back on the judgement of Israel to give us a picture on how God will judge when he is returns - or if there will literally be 2 witnesses that will be prophesying in the last days?
Nothing in Revelation should be taken "literally" other than the ultimate triumph of Jesus Christ in his Death and Resurrection which was a past event when Revelation was written, but the victory of which could not be overcome, even by persecutions by a power as big as the Roman Empire. [Even Jesus' "prediction" of the fall of Jerusalem was written by Matthew AFTER the fall of Jerusalem, and was more to call to mind the similarity between the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of Rome and the fall at the hands of Babylon five centuries earlier, and to emphasize that the fall was not the end of all things. This is the same for Luke's account. Mark would have written shortly before the fall, but right after Herod's renovations (which took sixty years) were completed.] Much of the visions in Revelation, and in particular this interval of the Seven Trumpets, call to mind much of the prophetic tradition of the Old Testament. So the images are not so much predictions of future events, but affirmation of past prophecy and how it is still relevant to the victory of Christ and His Church, as well as a call to continue to have faith in what the Old Testament promised and its fulfillment in Jesus. In a previous video (Apocalypse #4) I explain how the images used in Apocalyptic literature do not predict a specific event of the future. Rather they make use of images of a remembered past to give HOPE for an unknown future and MEANING to a specific present. In this case, "John" is also given the commission to prophesy and by extension the Church is called to be that prophetic witness present throughout the world, even in the midst of persecution (always the context of Revelation).
Good Reply Fr William. Your series is by far one of the best apocalyptic commentaries I have seen on the internet. Having said that, how are we able to date Revelation to the ad 90's during the reign of Emperor Domitian? The only time stamp I can find in Revelation is the mention of St. Antipas who is mentioned in Revelation 2:14 and aside from what is written in that verse - there is not much known about Antipas. The reason for that question is to determine whether the events of AD70 were prophesied in Revelation or if Revelation was looking back on the end of Jerusalem and using those events to give an illustration on the future tribulations of the Kingdom. I do agree that Revelation (as well as much Apocalyptic Literature such as Ezekiel, Daniel, some of Isaiah, and Zechariah) should not be taken literally. Regrettably - too many Christians try to use Revelation to make a timeline on future events. I will stick to what Jesus himself said - as St. Luke has written in Acts 1:7 "It is not for you to know the times or epochs which the father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." I will conclude by quoting Dr. Ben Witherington, one of my favorite Bible Scholars "The Left Behind Series needs to be.....wait for it...….LEFT BEHIND!"
Given that Revelation was written in the last decade of the first century and the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, any reference to the Temple's destruction in the Book of Revelation would be looking backward in time.
