10 horns represent 10 kingdoms(governments)Hello everybody
I believe in terms of end times prophecies, the EU going from 28 to 10 members will be the thing that will require the most time to develop. I just don't see how this can be accomplished anytime soon unless I am missing something. Please let me know your thoughts.
Yep. I didn't buy it, but I do now. It most definitely was talking about VERY SOON TO TAKE PLACE events. "The time is near" is a phrase to tell humans that THE TIME IS NEAR. And 2,000 years is not "near" in any stretch of the meaning of the phrase. and no, the "1,000 years is as a day" argument does not apply here. He didn't say, "near, in god years".I read something years ago that argued much of the book of revelations was about the immediate context and took place within the following few decades. That was a while ago though, and I just skimmed through it.

Now you need to edit your post.

‘God years’ haha is that theological terminology?
That what the Aposltes all believed and taught.
Being the SOLE authorities on the subject, I expect they were correct.

but yet it hasn't happened , in order to say it has , all the prophecies that go with it has to happen as well , safe to say it hasn't happened , Jesus says HE IS COMING SOON or another verse Jesus says "I COME QUICKLY" in reference to his return to His beloved , in the Revelation written 2000 years ago . looks to be His calendar is different than oursYep.

Well, one of the best things about this forum for me is that it keeps me going back to things I only have vague ideas about. Any reading recommendations on this one?
I agree. But you would not believe how often I've heard lay-people say, trying to defend that it is talking about the end times, "well, a thousand years is as a day to the Lord and a day as a thousand years".Matthew 24:33 Fully and completely debunks the claim that near = far.
Not one futurist alive, dispensational or otherwise, interprets "Near" in Matt 24:33 to be "in God Years" even thought it came straight from Jesus' (who is God) mouth.
Then you need to interpret in the spirit of my tag line.but yet it hasn't happened , in order to say it has , all the prophecies that go with it has to happen as well , safe to say it hasn't happened , Jesus says HE IS COMING SOON or another verse Jesus says "I COME QUICKLY" in reference to his return to His beloved , in the Revelation written 2000 years ago . looks to be His calendar is different than ours
Revelation 4 views is probably the best most unbiased commentary one the 4 main approaches.. 1st century fulfillment being one of them.

other than that www.preteristarchive.com is largely the main online depository for such information

Jesus says He will return SOON! have you seen Him or any news reports that Messiah has returned ?So when Jesus said this:
Matthew 24:33
33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
Which calendar do you say He was using? His or Ours?
