Revelations is supposed to take place on Earth. What if we colonize the moon or Mars or inhabit a self-sustaining space station? Do we escape "judgement"?

OK I'll bit. If you are on Mars or the moon how are you going to get supplies. You certainly would not be self sufficent. No restocking of supplies. Oppps.

Hebrews 9:27
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
Peter 2:9
if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment, while continuing their punishment.
1 John 4:17
In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.

Maybe it only says Earth because people from the year 100 had never heard of the planet Mars? If it had said Mars, they wouldn't thought it meant the Roman God!

There is no judgment day - it's a projection of people's ego thought systems. It's like asking whether we can replace a virgin with someone else to appease the volcano god: the volcano god is a projection of our own ego thought systems and so are all the things we think about it. Note: this means that our ego-projected gods hide the real god from us (and this real god is the tao, the way, the void -- whatever -- it needs to be directly experienced as opposed to believed in -- the experience is called enlightenment).

Churches have been teaching for hundreds, possibly even thousands of years, that their generation would see the return of Christ and judgement day. Alas we are still here. And they are still preaching the same thing. But now it has an extra added twist to it, THE RAPTURE!!
Which wasnt invented until the 15-1600's i believe.

Well,the answer is no ,we don't escape judgment ,no matter where we go or
where we are we will see judgment. It may not happen the same if you were
on the moon or mars but see GOD created it all and no man knows the
hour or day it shall happen so GOD and god said that every knee goin bow
and every tongue confess that he is LORD, so he will make sure every man
being will be on earth when that day comes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revelations was written, oh a couple of thousand years ago, give or take a few centuries. I don't think planetary or satellite colonization was even a concept. I vote No.

Interesting thought. I suppose that will mean that there is a good chance that Judgment Day will occur before we have the opportunity to colonize another planet.

well I think that Judgment day is almost here and we are a long way off from colonizing other planets.
Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Your question would be a lot more interesting if in fact there ever was going to be anything like a Judgment Day. But there aint. When we die, it's over. Nothing more. People can't deal with that so they invent all these silly fairtytales.
