Whatever happened to just not knowing?

[Jase]

But I was wondering, which "scientific theory" did he use?



So Revelation should not be interpreted with the near cataclysmic events of the Y2K problem?

No Revelation was about the Roman Empire.

Of course not.

The Book of Revelation is not a peek into future history. The Bible is not a book of divination.

 

[Believe the Impossible]

Of course not.

The Book of Revelation is not a peek into future history. The Bible is not a book of divination.

I beg to differ:

Revelation 1
(NIV)

Prologue

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Greetings and Doxology

4 John,
To the seven churches in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”[c]
So shall it be! Amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

If Jesus Christ has come, as is stated to happen, by John through a vision of prophecy, then by all means let us know where and when.

 

[Greg1234]

Of course not.

The Book of Revelation is not a peek into future history. The Bible is not a book of divination.

say what now?

 

[TasManOfGod]

How precisely would it do that? It might invalidate certain ways of reading the Bible (the literalistic modernist way of reading invented by the liars of creationism) but it certainly doesn't overrule Christ.

I see you are a seeker -of truth no doubt -keep at it
