The trouble with end times believers is that so many of them seem to be trying to hurry it along.
How can a not-quite-2000-year-old book be both "historically cogent" and relevant to today?
Seems likely.Easily, Hans. Easily.
Seems likely.It's supposed to be some book of prophecy or something filled with all sorts of imaginative horrors, but I found it dull and stopped reading.
I guess it just depends on what you're looking for when reading it.
Like a laissez faire policy towards Netanyahu.That's interesting. When I read it for the first time, and the 11th time, I found it to be highly engaging and intriguing. I guess it just depends on what you're looking for when reading it.
I gave it another try. The opening was dull and I couldn't see the point of it and lost interest. As for what I was looking for, I wasn't looking for anything.That's interesting.

Halfway through chapter 2. I did not find John of Patmos's correspondence with those churches to be interesting.You gave it another try? I'm guessing you made it to chapter 4 and gave up?

Don't wait up.Well...............let me know when it becomes of interest to you.
I didn't say that you said that. I don't think you are a Dispensationalist, either, though you seem to give them more credit for moral and intellectual integrity than I would.I didn't say that, did I? Sort of like I didn't say that I'm a Dispensationalist, but somehow everyone assumes otherwise by default.

Number 9. Number 9. Number 9.
I'm not accusing you of anything. I don't remember that you have made any comment on the Israel/Hamas situation. However, it remains a fact that our accepting and supportive policy towards Israel's actions in Gaza is driven more by Christian Zionists and their lurid Dispensationalist end-times fantasies than by American Jewry.I'm not intending for my question here to sound resentful because it's not, but where have I spoken lately about the modern nation of Israel (or even about Netanyahu) and given them 'credit' for much of anything?
If you're referring to some other past, historical nuance about ancient Israel, then by all means feel free to clarify.
A music reference, by way of a true crime book. I don't think you want to know the rest.I must have missed that movie reference.

Instead of quoting the lyrics that fed the insanity, I'll quote some that references it after the fact:Lol.Fair enough. However, if the book of Revelation just happens to, in some significant way, be true, I would think most sane people would want to "know the rest."
