I would like some perspectives on Revelation.

[Webers.Home]

.
● Rev 1:1-3 . . The revelation of 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, who testifies to everything he saw-- that is: the
word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads
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 imminent.

Nobody knows the exact day nor hour of Jesus' return to rule the world, but
the events depicted in the book of Revelation will serve as early warnings to
alert folks that the time has come-- sort of like the act-by-act synopses used
by folks interested in operas like La Bohème, Hamlet, Madam Butterfly,
Porgy and Bess, South Pacific, and Don Giovanni.

If folks stuck in the tribulation era use Revelation like that; they'll have a
pretty good idea when to expect Jesus' arrival; and begin preparing
themselves for it.

Beast out of the sea is the 10 nations around the Mediterranean sea

Beast out of the earth is the Kingdom of the antichrist

A prophet is not a kingdom.

The ten horned beast is a kingdom, in Daniel and Rev.

The leader of that kingdom is always the next person introduced. In Daniel it's the little horn, and in Rev it's the false prophet who has two little horns. They have that in common.

It's that simple.

 

[ewq1938]

any guess on what the mark of the beast could potentially be or was?

It's future but there would be types through history. In history there were examples, where it was something literally seen.

In Rev 13, it has to be something the enemy can see ort detect because it is they that would enforce the selling/buying so they would have to be able to determine who has the mark and who does not. It could be a shot, computer chip or tattoo.
