Actually it is an ancient way of looking at governments or world powers. Nothing modern about the idea. No more than a horn representing royalty did in the day.How would a first-century Christian know that when they read this book? Is it perhaps a modern lens we put on it?
I still see alot more that needs to come to pass than what has. Can you please tell all the things that have happened. Outside of Jsrael becoming a Nation I don't see anything.You don't seem to understand the term "partial preterist". Most of revelation has already been fulfilled over the last 1900+ years. We have some things still to unfold yet.
So the three kings have destroyed her and given their power to the Beast? The anti christ has been revealed and a cashless society exist? You have been forced to either take the mark or not? Sorry I find many gaps in your idea.Except it repeats/changes faces, and was written with that in mind, so that it might be seen, all throughout this time, etc...
God Bless!
Name five or more if you can please.The book of Revelation was written to Christians in the first century. It is a highly symbolic book, many of the prophecies have already passed.
What is symbolic about it?The book of Revelation was written to first century Christians to help encourage them. It is highly symbolic.
Israel plays a major role in the end times.The Temple Institute of Jerusalem - Learn About the Temple Institute
The Temple Institute is dedicated to the Holy Temple of Jerusalem - Read about the Holy Temple and how The Temple Insitite is playing a role.templeinstitute.org
That's because you are taking it too literally, etc...So the three kings have destroyed her and given their power to the Beast? The anti christ has been revealed and a cashless society exist? You have been forced to either take the mark or not? Sorry I find many gaps in your idea.
So God's Word is to be taken lightly? Surely, God did not say,,,,,,That's because you are taking it too literally, etc...
It happened in or around 70 AD, has happened many times since then, and will happen again, etc...
And if we truly want to understand the book of Revelation, then we need to understand how it does/did, and will again, etc...
God Bless!
He didn't mean these things will happen in any kind of progressive order? So, the book should be called the Book of RevalationS. Since they happen in no sequential order one after another.So God's Word is to be taken lightly? Surely, God did not say,,,,,,

Whoa to the nation that turns its' back on Israel. I support Israel how about you?How treacherous that Christians today are supporting the reestablishment of the worship and nation that their God judged nearly two-thousand years ago for crucifying their Lord. If it was the Lord's will to rebuilt the Temple, then there is no point in believing in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. How treacherous that Christian today are helping a people to willingly thrive in defiance of the scriptures. The symbol of David on their flag is a reflection of their denouncing of Jesus as the Messiah. If God wanted to restore the nation, Christians would have helped them rebuilt it after its destruction by the Romans after they legalized and established the faith in the Empire. Christians are betraying their Lord by helping the Jewish people live in defiance of the New Testament, and it is disgusting. God will not bless their work, nor will he help them return to the ways that he himself stopped. God has made their living in the land difficult, and possessing the land difficult, because God is opposed to them. This should be plain to all Christians everywhere.
It tells of the rise and fall of systems and societies, for the most part, etc...He didn't mean these things will happen in any kind of progressive order? So, the book should be called the Book of RevalationS. Since they happen in no sequential order one after another.
Do you say the pledge of alligence? How can an ideal be destroyed and then power given to the Beast? We are heading toward a cashless society . How often do you debit your purchases? Just as in the Days of Noah ring a bell? This acceptance of all kinds of sexual sin.The return of Christ all this is symbolic?Taking the book of Revelation symbolically is not taking it lightly, it is just simply another way of interpreting it, etc...
These things represent spirits, and systems, etc. The rise of the harlot could mean the rise of feminism, which always happened right before the fall of just about every society, etc, and the book does not talk about a cashless society, but just simply says that no one could buy or sell without taking or having the mark of the beast, or without having been marked by the beast at some point, etc, which could just be as simply as swearing an oath of fealty to a system rising that the beast represents, etc, an antichrist rising, just that systems very influential leader, etc, and many, many "other things", etc...
God Bless!
I don't know what qualifies as swearing an absolute oath of fealty to a system or not, etc, and there are a lot of things about the book that I don't fully understand in detail yet, but I do know what I do know about it, etc...Do you say the pledge of alligence? How can an ideal be destroyed and then power given to the Beast? We are heading toward a cashless society . How often do you debit your purchases? Just as in the Days of Noah ring a bell?

She's not literally a woman on a dragon.What is symbolic about it?
No she is riding a scarlet beast not a dragon. I will give that it uses symbols to reveal truths. However, Daniel's prophecies were also revealed in the same manner and each had a specific thing that it related to. All I am saying is that each of these beings such as the harlot; anti-christ; false prophet etc. have not yet been. They are future events not things that have past.She's not literally a woman on a dragon.
