Maybe all that stuff in relevations is moot. Maybe God has changed his mind again.

But wait, if God doesn't change his mind, aren't you obligated to kill non-Christian neighbors like it says in the OT?

i change my mind and so its ok that you don't just believe xyz, but now only those who believe a, b, c and those who believe xyz get into heaven?

There is no point for another covenent because everything in the old testament was leading up to this promise that Jesus gave us. Everything in the old testament was a shadow of what was to come through Jesus by the will of the Father.
For example when Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son Isaac, his only son(As Genesis 22 reads), it was a shodow of when God would give up His only son as a sacrifice for His children. Also God instrcuted Abraham to go sacrifice Isaac on a hill that he would direct him to, when it was time for Jesus to be crucified, he would be crucified on the same exact hill on which Isaac was almost sacrificed. Lastly when God told Abraham to stop he provided Abraham with a sacrifice, a male sheep stuck in a bush by its horns. This shows how God would provide a sacrifice himself which was the lamb, Jesus Christ.
Then also there are plenty of others such as King David who was the king and high preist, just like Jesus is the King and High Priest.
The book is Revelations is like the landing strip for all the rest of the prophecies that are left, which aren't much at all. There is nothing in the bible that speaks of another pact or covenent to come. This was the final purpose of it all, the spilt blood of the Lamb of God that sealed the new covenent forever, Amen.

God never changed His mind the first time - there never was a "new" covenant- only a RENEWED covenant- the same covenant the same God, the same instructions for living a sanctified life- Jesus just showed us the way to live it without all of the doctrines of man and yeast of the pharisees- unfortunately we have allowed all of that to creep in again- we are ever changing the rules but God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow- His standards and ways never change

Because this covenant is the covenant of his blood (MT 26:28; MK 14:24; LK 22:20) -- nothing can ever surpass it. It was his very life. It is also why the Catholic church closed the Canon of the bible....there is no more revelation....nothing more to come.

And Maybe it was a lie to begin with and the man named Jesus is dead as a logical and reasonable person would think.
Since Christians named the imaginary god what is his last name?

Revelation was written by John and has NOTHING to do with the Judgment. The judgment will be short and sweet. Jesus will come, open the Books, judge us from them, and we will be in eternal heaven or HeLL. I hope that you are prepared for HIS COMING. Begin reading, studying, and obeying HIS WORD, the BIBLE! Have a great evening.

Because prophesy is fullfilled in the bible. It tells how everthiny will end. Nothing more will be added. It also says in the bible that God doesn't change his mind. Jesus is God

I know by what He says in Hebrews 6:13-20.
How can you be sure you won't die tonight and sink like a stone into Hell forever?
