Revelation 4 and Revelation 5 have no prophecy in it ....I think that Lamad got it right ,the timing about the description of the Throne room of God in Heaven of Revelation 4 is few moments before Jesus ascended to Heaven ...in Revelation 5 Jesus arrive in the throne room and is found worthy to open the seals..Remember the whole thing is a VISION ....John said immediately i was in the spirit Revelation 4:1-2...the same thing that he said in Revelation 1
The problem with your interpretation is that Daniel 9:23-27 have ben entirely fulfilled in the time of Jesus and the apostles..
Agreed.
True ....the things who concerned the first Christians in the time of John was Revelation 2 and Revelation 3 ...the address about a Judgment of God to happen soon upon the 7 Churches that were in existence in the time of John.
Knowledge in science does not help to understand Biblical prophecies...The knowledge must be taken by observation from historic record ...Example: we can safely say that the time of Jacob's Troubles for the Jews have happened in 70 AD ...We can safely say that Daniel 9:23-27 have been entirely fulfilled in the time of Jesus and the Apostles.
We can safely say that Daniel 7 prophecy about the LITTLE HORN correspond to Revelation 13 and is still yet to come in a still unknown time in the future.
riberra,
1. Revelation 4 and 5 are still prophetical for the church has not been raptured.
The things hereafter are after the church age.
Lamas is not right according to the context.
2. A few moments before Christ ascended?
That is nowhere implied and is mere conjecture and is being contrived into the context which results in one’s opinion.
You are just trying to uphold a historical context in your eschatological view.
3. History repeats itself is a fact that Solomon believed.
Revelation 2 and 3 is addressed to the 7 churches of Asia because of the conditions of the church that are repeated in any age. Even as the 7 church period is very interesting how it lines up with the same conditions in different periods of ages that is very convincing.
But the biggest reason is because the church age will be raptured. Why?
One is the rapture was a mystery of living and dead in Christ.
The Old Testament saints only knew the resurrection of the dead. I have already shown the scriptures for this.
Another reason is our time right now is to suffer and we shall reign in the millennial kingdom.
The tribulation is for Israel and it’s restoration especially the last 3.5 years which is called the time of Jacob’s trouble, though there will be gentile believers saved.
4. Exegete your position of the first five seals.
5. Judgement on some but not for the overcomers.
6. My usage of knowledge was not about science.
Knowledge can be gleaned from history. But I was speaking the closer we get to the tribulation etc. we will see much more from our own eyes especially because of the speed of technology.
7. Daniel 9:23-27 we’re not fulfilled in Jesus Day.
Verse 24 is talking to Israel and it’s restoration. It was to happen at the cross Jeremiah 31:31-34, but the nation rejected Christ Matthew 23:37-39 and Jesus pronounced Judgement on Israel which the temple would be destroyed and the nation would cease which turned out to be 70 A.D.
Acts 1:6-7 shows the KoH was finished and only God knew the time.
The False Spiritual Israel to the extreme doctrine and because the church was basically all Israel is the reason for this confusion about Daniel 9: 24-27 being past when it’s not.
Israel has to be purified in the time of Jacob’s trouble.
Jesus Day was Old Testament and the law and the KoH and the KoG message. The apostles was New Covenant, the New Covenant Church and the message of the death burial and resurrection of Christ. They were two different ages with two different messages and goals.
They must be kept separate to understand the real truth.
The restoration of the KoH reign was the goal in Jesus Day.
The church was about to evangelize the whole world, make the nation of Israel jealous for God, has a Heavenly calling but all is suffering now to reign in the future earthly reign 2 Timothy 2:12.
8. Daniel 7, the Little Horn and Revelation 13 about the Beast are the same as the Antichrist and is future.
