a question for christains?

Question

someone told me that revelation is coming true and i said name something that is true in there and he kept saying read it its true and i said give me an example and he couldnt can one of you give me one example on how revelation is true

Answer 1

Revelation for the most part is the Holy Mass (liturgy) that is celebrated in every Catholic Church describing what is occurring in the spiritual realm during the mass. If you understand the Sacred Scripture of Revelation and attend a Catholic Mass You will be able to correlate the two. It is truly Heaven on earth. do not despair many Catholic do not even realize this fact.

Answer 2

Revelations speak more about the time of tribulation after those in Christ have gone. The plagues, the earthquakes, the changes in weather, even down to the continuous fighting in the Holy lands are all part of what is leading up to prophecies of revelation. Know one (not even the angels ) know the hour in which our Savior will return for His own. You just have to make sure you are prepared. Whether you live until His return or whether He decides to take you this minute, you have to be ready for Him. Praise Him, love Him, accept Him into your heart and know He is your Savior. Then you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

Jesus said "when you see the leaves starting to bud on a tree, then you know that Springtime is new, so you should be able to read the signs of the end of time. There will be wars and rumors of war and pestilence and Earthquakes but, the end will not come until you see the abomination standing in the place it should not be -- THEN--" We better run because then the end will be upon us. If we are close to Jesus though we do not have to run we stand tall and wait for him. I firmly think the abomination the Lord talks about is a woman as a priest.

Answer 4

The Revelation of Jesus Christ was given to the church to show what Jesus is doing for His people during the time that He is in heaven. As promised, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in great power to enable the early church to spread the gospel. Because most of what happens in Revelation is up in heaven, it is difficult to say exactly what has happened and what has not. It is not the purpose of Revelation to forecast the future. What is important is the work of Jesus, our High Priest in the heavenly santuary. Revelation 1-3 depicts Jesus walking among the newly formed churches of Asia Minor. This shows the close regard and watchcare Jesus has for His people. Remember, He said, "I am with you always even until the end of the earth".

From there the scene is transferred to the heavenly sanctuary where Jesus, the lamb of God is inaugurated as High Priest. Jesus warns us of bad times to come, frequently through prophetic symbols. There are many different interpretations as to what these may mean, but at any rate, one thing is certain. Jesus is in control and warns that bad times must come to pass. There are at least two reasons that bad times must come. One is to purify the church. Trials make pure gold. The second is to showcase the heinousness of sin to the surrounding universe. In the midst of this, the antichrist power will arise and all those who are loyal to God will suffer persecution. The whole world will be drawn into one camp or the other. Just when it seems that Satan will triumph by destroying the people of God, Jesus will return to take his people home. All the wicked will be slain, and the millenium will commence with the righteous in heaven, the wicked dead, and Satan left to walk this desolate planet for 1000 years with no one to tempt.

Sorry about the long overview, now to your question. Although, there are many interpretations of the symbols in Revelation, the one that is certain is the identity of the antiChrist power. God would not warn us against taking the mark of the beast on pain of eternal death, and then neglect to tell us who the beast was and what his mark is.
Compare Daniel 2,7, 8, and Revelation 13:1-10. The Iron of the image in Daniel 2 is Rome. This iron extends all the way to the end of time although it is mixed with clay in the feet and toes. Thus, Rome will be in power from the time of Jesus until the end of the world. How you say? First Rome ruled the world through the Pagan Caesars, then power was transferred to the Papacy and the Roman Catholic church was formed. Rome, first in its pagan phase and now in its papal phase is the iron of the image in Daniel 2. The fourth beast in Daniel 7 is Rome as well, with the pagan phase, and latter the papal phase as the little horn power. In Daniel 8 again we see the little horn representing Rome with the pagan phase as the horizontal encroachment and the papal phase as the vertical encroachment, reaching all the way to heaven assaulting the work of Christ out High Priest. In Revelation 13 we see this same power with the little horn receiving a deadly wound that is latter healed. The Roman Catholic church reigned for 1260 years during the middle ages. In 1798, Bethier, one of Napoleon's generals took the pope captive. The pope died in captivity. This was the deadly wound predicted in Revelation 13. Later in 1929 the deadly wound was healed when the Vatican received its power back from Mussolini. The Roman Catholic church has been growing into power ever since, and soon, it will unite with the second beast of Revelation 13, the false prophet, the strongest military nation at end times to enforce the mark of the beast. All the world will take this mark except for those whose names are written in the book of life. These have the seal of God. Witness the healing of the wound as the world wonders after the beast during the funeral of Pope John Paul ll. This is a prophecy that is coming true right before our eyes.

Answer 5

simply by living another day iot is ocming true, but as far as what the bible tells us will happen in the end times, people have associated all the natural events to that. i am a christian and i do not believe it is, and i dont think its gonn ahappen in my lifetime, but then again im not god, i dont know, i just know i have to be ready for when it does happen

The Qur'an, on the different hand, is a e book made out of the words of one guy who pretended to be God talking by way of his unworthy lips. Now, The Bible says "Love thy neighbor" refer Mark, 12:31. The Qur'an, on the different hand, says "combat your neighbor, the Disbeliever" Qur'an, Surat at Tauba, 9:123. How come you missed that one? The Bible says Honor your mum and dad ..., Exodus, 20:12.

Please spare us a lot of those tall memories. we are actually not procuring. Even your person Muslims are actually not fooled by potential of that nonsense. .

Answer 7

Use Israel becoming a state in 1948.That was prophecy that was fulfilled.Look at all the Jews migrating back to Israel as we speak.That is prophecy that is being fulfilled.

Answer 8

Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom" (Matt. 24:7)

War has marred life on the earth for thousands of years. International wars and wars within nations have been fought. But beginning in 1914 the first world war was fought. This was not merely a conflict between two armies on the battlefield. For the first time, all the major powers were at war. Entire nations-including civilian populations-were mobilized to support the war effort. It is estimated that by the end of the war 93 percent of the population of the world was involved.

As foretold at Revelation 6:4, 'peace was taken away from the earth.' Thus the world has continued to be in a state of upheaval ever since 1914. World War II was fought from 1939 to 1945. According to retired Admiral Gene La Rocque, as of 1982 there had been another 270 wars since 1945. Upwards of 100 million persons have been slaughtered in warfare during this century. Also, according to the 1982 edition of World Military and Social Expenditures, there were in that year 100 million people engaged directly or indirectly in military activities.

Is more required in order to fulfill this aspect of the prophecy? There are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons deployed for immediate use. Leading scientists have said that if the nations were to use even a fraction of their nuclear arsenals, civilization and possibly the entire human species would be destroyed. But that is not the outcome to which Bible prophecy points.

"There will be food shortages . . . in one place after another" (Matt. 24:7)

There have been many famines in human history. To what extent has the 20th century been afflicted by them? World war led to widespread starvation in Europe and Asia. Africa has been stricken by drought, resulting in extensive food shortages. Late in 1980 the Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that 450 million people were hungry to the point of starvation, and up to a billion did not have enough to eat. Of these, some 40 million a year actually die-in some years as many as 50 million-because of the shortage of food.

Is anything different about these food shortages? Revelation 6:6 indicated that a small quantity of such staples as wheat or barley would be selling for a day's wage (a denarius; see Matthew 20:2) but that supplies of such items as olive oil and wine used by people who are well-to-do would not be harmed. So apparently many would suffer shortage while others could still get what they wanted. This situation is no longer local, but global. In 1981 The New York Times reported: "The improvement in living standards and the growing demand for food around the world have put pressure on food prices, making it harder for the poorest countries to import their food needs." In many lands the production of food, even with the aid of modern science, has not been able to keep pace with the increase in total population. Modern food experts see no real solution to the problem.

"There will be great earthquakes" (Luke 21:11)

It is true that there were major quakes in centuries past; furthermore, with their sensitive equipment scientists now detect more than a million quakes a year. But no special instruments are needed for people to know when there is a great earthquake.

Has there actually been a significant number of major earthquakes since 1914? With data obtained from the National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, supplemented by a number of standard reference works, a tabulation was made in 1984 that included only earthquakes that measured 7.5 or more on the Richter scale, or that resulted in destruction of five million dollars (U.S.) or more in property, or that caused 100 or more deaths. It was calculated that there had been 856 of such earthquakes during the 2,000 years before 1914. The same tabulation showed that in just 69 years following 1914 there were 605 of such quakes. That means that, in comparison with the previous 2,000 years, the average per year has been 20 times as great since 1914.

"In one place after another pestilences" (Luke 21:11)

At the close of the first world war the Spanish flu swept around the globe, claiming upwards of 20 million lives and at a rate unparalleled in the history of disease. Despite advances in medical science, a heavy toll is exacted every year by cancer, heart disease, numerous sexually transmitted diseases, multiple sclerosis, malaria, river blindness, and Chagas' disease.

'Increased lawlessness accompanied by a cooling off of love on the part of the greater number' (Matt. 24:11, 12)

A leading criminologist says: "The one thing that hits you in the eye when you look at crime on the world scale is a pervasive and persistent increase everywhere. Such exceptions as there are stand out in splendid isolation, and may soon be swamped in the rising tide." (The Growth of Crime, New York, 1977, Sir Leon Radzinowicz and Joan King, pp. 4, 5) The increase is real; it is not merely a matter of better reporting. It is true, past generations had criminals too, but never before has crime been as pervasive as it is now. Persons who are up in years know that from personal experience.

The lawlessness referred to in the prophecy includes contempt for the known laws of God, a placing of self instead of God at the center of one's life. As a result of this attitude, divorce rates are skyrocketing, sex outside of marriage and homosexuality are widely accepted, and tens of millions of abortions are performed every year. Such lawlessness is associated (in Matthew 24:11, 12) with the influence of false prophets, those who set aside God's Word in favor of their own teachings. Heeding their philosophies instead of holding to the Bible contributes toward a loveless world. (1 John 4:8) Read the description of it at 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

"Men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth" (Luke 21:25, 26)

"The fact is that today the biggest single emotion which dominates our lives is fear," said U.S. News & World Report. (October 11, 1965, p. 144) "Never before has mankind been as fearful as at present," reported the German magazine Hörzu.-No. 25, June 20, 1980, p. 22.

Many factors contribute to this global atmosphere of fear: violent crime, unemployment, economic instability because so many nations are hopelessly in debt, worldwide pollution of the environment, lack of strong and loving family ties, and the overwhelming feeling that mankind is in imminent danger of nuclear annihilation. Luke 21:25 mentions 'signs in sun, moon, and stars, and roaring of the seas' in connection with the anguish felt by the nations. The rising of the sun often causes, not happy anticipation, but fear of what the day may bring; when the moon and stars shine, fear of crime makes people stay behind locked doors. In the 20th century, but not before, planes and missiles have been used to send destruction streaking down from the heavens. Submarines carrying deadly loads of missiles prowl the seas, just one such submarine being equipped to annihilate 160 cities. No wonder the nations are in anguish!

'Christ's true followers to be objects of hatred by all nations on account of his name' (Matt. 24:9)

This persecution is not because of political meddling but 'on account of the name of Jesus Christ,' because his followers adhere to him as Jehovah's Messianic King, because of their obeying Christ ahead of any earthly ruler, because of their loyally adhering to his Kingdom and not becoming involved in the affairs of human governments. As modern-day history testifies, that has been the experience of Jehovah's Witnesses in all parts of the earth.

'This good news of the kingdom preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness' (Matt. 24:14)

The message that would be preached is that God's Kingdom in the hands of Jesus Christ has begun to rule in the heavens, that soon it will put an end to the entire wicked system of things, that under its rule mankind will be brought to perfection and earth will become a paradise. That good news is being preached today in over 200 lands and island groups, to the most distant parts of the earth. Jehovah's Witnesses devote hundreds of millions of hours to this activity each year, making repeated house-to-house visits so that everyone possible is given the opportunity to hear.

To what do all these events of "the last days" point?

Luke 21:31, 32: "When you see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near [that is, the time when it will destroy the present wicked world and itself take full charge of earth's affairs]. Truly I say to you, This generation will by no means pass away until all things occur." (The "generation" that was alive at the beginning of fulfillment of the sign in 1914 is now well along in years. The time remaining must be very short. World conditions give every indication that this is the case.)
