My church actually brought up revelation a bit a few Sundays ago, but it seemed from the sermon that the pastor mainly found it applying to the times it was written
Hell JC.
I sometimes glance over other boards and this thread caught my eye.
Have you and/or others seen this news bit?.........
I view the fulfillment a bit differently, applying it to the holocaust in the 1st century........
Prophecies of Ezekiel 37
In a stunning and remarkable moment, Netanyahu also declared to the people of Europe and the world that
the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 have been fulfilled.
The Holocaust, he said, represented the "dry bones" and "graves" of the Jewish people, and out of that horror the State of Israel was resurrected, just as the Lord said would happen through the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel. Rarely has any world leader given a major address on an international stage declaring End Times prophecies from the Bible have come true. But that is exactly what Netanyahu did. - Joel Rosenberg
There is a promise in the bible that rings out almost louder than all the others. And that is
God's Promise to, in the End of Time, return the Jews to the very Homeland that
they were driven out of in 70 AD by the Romans. All through Scripture it sounds out loud and clear:
NTEB: God's Prophetical Promise To Return The Jews To Israel
I though this was relevant for Christians to read as a part of fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy.
THE SYMBOLISM IN BOOK OF REVELATION
One man studied and found
348 allusions (not illusions, Light)
in Revelation from the Old Testament. You see the similarity in wording and the context mirrored in Revelation and the particular Old Testament story, and immediately can recognize the reference source!
That's IF you know the bible well enough to even notice that.
95 of the 348 plain references used in Revelation as taken from the Old Testament are repeated in Revelation.
That makes about 250 Old Testament passages are cited. How many chapters are in Revelation? 22. That makes about TEN OLD TESTAMENT REFERENCES FOR EVERY CHAPTER!

The following points seal the issue, in my opinion:
