    Survey: Where do you all think the action in Revelation 5 is set?

    This is not a trick question: I had someone suggest something truly unusual and I would love to hear your replies and opinions. Revelation 5 (NIV - UK) 5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a...

    The Genre of Revelation is in dozens of non-biblical books back then, and has certain rules in reading it!

    WHAT GENRE IS REVELATION? Revelation is not literal at all, but a genre called Apocalyptic Symbolism. There are literally dozens of these works from 200 BC to 200 AD - and theologians I read and respect have studied them and know the special syntaxes and grammar and imagery - they know the...

    What if there is a way for all humanity to avoid the calamities of the last days?

    If, on the last day, there were a way for many to avoid the preordained judgment and calamities and not be cast into the lake of fire, would Christians take interest in it and choose that path? These two passages in Revelation suggest different circumstances. What if these events are not...

    As Recorded in Scripture: The Day of the [Lord]

    Is there more Good or Evil in the World?

    I’m still holding out hope for humanity but am seeing more evil than good in this world. It could be where I live, residing in Racine, Wisconsin the epicenter of where the world’s evil dwells. Maybe my view is a bit skewed based on my residence. I understand people can be both good and bad and...

My parents are Christian (recently converted to Catholicism), but they do not believe that we are living in the End Times, and that Revelations is more metaphorical for something that happened 1900 years ago, which was...

    6th Bowl or Climate Change?

    Greetings! So I feel that this is clearly prophecy coming to pass right before our eyes. As one of my favorite youtubers puts it, prophecy unravels like a scroll, it isnt opened like a book. I dont see many people talking about this, which raises my internal alarms even more. So what do yall...

    What is "Your First Love?"

    SCRIPTURE: 'But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate love you had for me at the beginning. Think about how far you have fallen! Repent and do the works of love you did at first. I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place of influence if you do not repent. '...

    Revelation 11:1-3 ESV “Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, ‘Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the...

    The "7 Church Ages" Prophecy

    The "7 church ages" Prophecy. I have heard this prophecy started by "quacks" and agree that this can be true. Especially when such people make themselves the "angel" of the church age as if all knees should bow to them. My beliefs are that the churches came along as follows.... The purpose of...

    Is the Book of Revelation the only place in Scripture teaching eternal torment?

    Revelation 20:10 depicts hell in the following manner (NKJV, emphasis mine): The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Also, while it doesn't directly say the...
