Answer 1

it speaks about the Roman empire and the 666 beast is the emperor Nero. It speaks about the past. It speaks about the author's time period. I know this because predicting the future is impossible and has NEVER been proven to be true. Prophecies are utterly ridiculous and extremely vague and only believed by those who are LOOKING for prophecies to believe in.

Answer 2

Future - Have you seen 2 men standing in Jerusalem spitting fire out of their mouth if anyone tries to harm them? Or laying dead in the street for 3 days while the world watches and then miraculously raised from the dead and go up in a cloud to heaven? Chapter 11

Future - Have you seen 100lb hail falling out of the sky on men? Have you seen Jerusalem divided into 3 parts by a great earthquake? Have you seen the mark of the beast on the forehead and hands of men? Chapter 16

Future - Have you heard the angel with a loud voice flying in the sky shouting "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand," Chapter 14

Scientists tell us that the ice is up in space so 100 lb. hail is possible.

The earthquake that is coming, the Bible tells us it is like nothing we have ever seen before. Every mountain will move with this earthquake.

My friend if you truly know the Bible you will know that whatever happens once will happen again. Israel is our example. We will go through the same things Israel went through if we react toward God as Israel did.

We Gentiles are warned that Israel is the original branch of the olive tree and we are just wild olive branches grafted in. So how much favor will be given the original branches? God is not finished with His chosen people Israel.

Chapter 13 - all that dwell on the earth shall worship him (the beast) I don't plan on worshiping a beast in the future.

Future - Jesus Christ is coming again SOON. Chapter 22, Chapter 19

Answer 3

The Book of Revelations was speaking of a point in Human development that was inevitable. At the time, it was the future. Now, it has been going on for some time now.

The good news is that there won't be any beasts with seven heads and ten horns literally tearing the place to pieces like King Kong. The bad news is that the forces that all of those monsters metaphorically represented are alive and kickin' and every bit as destructive.

Decipher the metaphor, learn the truth, grab a gat, and get up here.

Answer 4

I have done a geat deal of study on it, and as it says at the beginning it covers all three. Revelation 1:19 "Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things"
Mostly it speaks of things which will take place, although I would say up to the 3rd chapter has taken place between then and now. Chapter 4 and onward have yet to take place.
Proof that it is yet to come is simple. The things written have never happened onthe face of this earth at anytime throughout history. That means if they are going to happen it will be in the future.
When was a third of mankind killed at anytime in history? Just one example out of hundreds.

Answer 5

ST it quite is a e book written for the present, regrettably, the present grew to grow to be into to the author, being fulfilled by activities interior the 1st century. The authorship has been completely explored maximum appropriate right here some circumstances lol, yet i think of of optimal maximum appropriate right here would agree that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos talk with 3 separate persons. overlook approximately the spelling differences, Revelation now no longer basically like the Gospel grew to grow to be into now no longer written in mind-blowing Greek. Revelation is composed of grammatical blunders and stylistic abnormalities which factor out its author would probable now no longer have been as conscious of the Greek language by skill of skill of actuality the Gospel's author. in accordance to early custom, the writing of this e book have been given right here approximately on the factor of the very end of Domitian's reign, around ninety 5 or ninety six. Others contend for an previously date, sixty 8 or sixty 9, interior the reign of Nero or purely approximately right this moment thereafter. it would quite be between the oldests books interior the nice and cozy testomony lol. yet even the Pope does not take those products heavily, in the time of a communique approximately Revelation on 23 August 2006, Pope Benedict XVI remarked: "The seer of Patmos, stated with the apostle, is granted a set of visions meant to reassure the Christians of Asia amid the persecutions and trials of the top of the 1st century." And previously a militia of Prostestants bounce down my throat, and tell me Catholics are no longer from now on cristian rubbish - then evaluate that the daddy of your church - Martin Luther chanced on it an offensive piece of artwork" and "John Calvin had grave doubts approximately its fee."

Answer 7

The book of Revelations speaks of both past and future. John used his words (Past) to describe things that the Lord wanted him to see and write. (Future) Jesus Christ will return and those who believe and have faith will raise up with the dead and meet him in the clouds. He will come back and rule for ever and ever. Amen

Answer 8

Does the lord of the rings speak about the past or the future? It is similar to the bible in that both are works of fiction

Answer 9

MUCH of what was written by John in Revelation has already occurred. It was primarily about Roman authority and was written as a message to encourage Christians of His Day. Have a great day!

Answer 10

Bible prophecies have two fulfillments, one that happens soon after it was written (with soon I mean years only) and those with greater fulfillment that happens after thousands of years (foreshadowing).

Example woudl be found in the book of Daniel. The dream of Nebuchadnezzar refers to his own Kingdom Babylon and also to World powers. (I cannot elaborate here though).

As for the book of Revelation, partly has come true and others are yet to come.

This part as happened: Revelation 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Mi´cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”
------The world now reflects the attitudes of Satan, chaotic,deceitful, murderous....it is because of all his influence.

Yet to happen: Revelation 14:8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the anger of her fornication!”
---The empire of false religion would soon be destroyed.
