CRONJECJ IS NOT Zone. I've spoken to both and they have completely different stories and styles of writing.
anyways as for revelation I believe that it was future at the time it was written but some happened already. not all but some of it.
it was written to first century readers and the words stated "3 Blessed
is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time
is near."
what i never understood was why people think tribulation is a future event.
I believe tribulation is a past and continual event that will happen until Jesus second coming to destroy this world and replace it with a New Earth and New Heaven.
When did Jesus ever promise worldly peace? His kingdom is not of this world. the peace He offers is a right relationship with GOD. not a friendship or peace with the world.
why is Tribulation linked with Satan?
How can John be a brother and companion in tribulation if tribulation has not yet occurred?
"9 I, John, both[
e] your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ"
why do people not think we are now in the little season where Satan is gathering people to war against God?
Does the first resurrection happen in one day or can it be continous?
as in as people die they are judged righteous and allowed to be resurrected and able to enter into Heaven into the new Jereusalum in Heaven and those who are not are bound until final Judgment day?
what is the date of the great Schism in the church?
July 6, 1054
mmm seems awful close to a thousand years to me.
