People quoting Revelations like this just prove they don't understand it
Hell you can't even get the name right sooooo......
But anyways Revelation (with no "s") was about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD by Rome within the same generation of Jesus being crucified EXACTLY like Jesus said would happen. "This generation shall not pass till all these things take place"
Where are we now? "Sit at my right hand while I make all your enemies your footstool" God the Father to Jesus (That verse appears more times in scripture than any other) "God wins" isn't just a Q slogan, it's the theme of the entire Bible.
Here's a playlist of sermons, discussions and debates on the subject that I suggest everyone checks out because Theology matters. Eschatology matters. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm4vxYfDpoYaWjqK76eZukIyKtyX5Xa-J
Sorry, this is false. The context of that passage makes it clear that it's referring to a future generation, not the current generation.
I agree with Datasinc. The plain reading of Revelation lends itself well to the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem with complete correspondence of every single detail. An excellent resource on this is Gary DeMar at American Vision, book Last Days Madness. Another good book, When the Man Comes Around by Douglas Wilson. We can read what is there, or we can add imagination to it. It is important to differentiate.
Perhaps parts of Revelation correspond directly to what happened in 70 AD but, that passage is not even from Revelation, it is in the Gospels just after a long list of events Jesus lists that will happen before "these things" take place. And, those events never happened in the first century.
