This is a "What If" scenario intended to generate discussion and alternative analysis.
First let's go through a few established known truths:
-
The apostle John wrote Revelations while exiled on Patmos
-
John was a beloved apostle and was an eyewitness to the teachings and miracles of Jesus
-
John was a faithful apostle and reliable
-
Revelations is particularly difficult to understand given the imagery and symbolism
-
Revelations basic message is that GOD is in control and his Victory is assured. All who believe and trust in Jesus Christ will be saved
-
Revelations closes human history in the same way Genesis opened it--- in Paradise
-
Genesis describes the introduction of evil to humans, Revelations describes the annihilation of evil for forever
-
We've been taught that Revelations describes the end of humanity
So what if Revelations is describing the end of the World as we know it... Not the end of Earth literally?
What if Revelations is a message to the cabal directly... telling them how their rule ends?
What if eradicating the luciferians is literally the eradication of evil forever?
What if when Q uses the word biblical -- it's a reference to the book of Revelations and the last epic battle between Good and evil?
What if the "panic" that Q describes is literally their hysteria and panic knowing that their world is coming to an end?
Call it intuition or a gut feeling.....but my entire life I've been taught that Revelations describes an end to humanity. One week ago it occurred to me that this could be just another misunderstood concept. When I dig in and apply the Q context to Revelations......it makes sense to me that we're witnessing it happen and it's not our destruction that John described. He described THEIR destruction.
Then again... I could be wrong.
The end of the space-time universe is a Greek concept, not a Hebrew concept. Therefore, you are correct that it is NOT about the end of humanity.
The climax of the book is the restoration of creation to its intended purpose and order: God in direct fellowship/relationship with people. Although this involves the destruction of evil, that is not the main focus.
The revelation was given to Christians either in the middle or about to enter intense persecution for their faith. The purpose was to reassure them that no matter how terrible or chaotic there temporary experiences were, God was still in control of everything. Before his throne the tossing chaotic sea was calmed to such an extent that it was like crystal and ultimately would disappear.
The book was never written to be difficult to understand. The primary intended audience would understand EXACTLY what John was saying (John was never thinking "I have no idea what this means, but I'll write it down anyway"). We find it difficult to understand because we are from a different time and culture.
