The apocalypse is the unveiling or uncovering.
It is only cataclysmic to the forces of Satan.
Think about that; we've been conditioned to FEAR the apocalypse; we have been conditioned to fear our awakening and eventual freedom.
That is Mystery Babylon.
That's a great comment.
My view: The end times means the culmination of God's providence and the destruction of Satan's kingdom.
It's when satan's sovereignty over the world is removed, and God's sovereignty restored.
Satan works through fear, God works through faith.

This shift in end time beliefs is happening to so many people. I used to believe in dispensationalism. Now I have this “we are taking it back” attitude. It’s a shift from defeatism to A conquering army of saints. I don’t even know how it got started but I hardly hear about Antichrist anymore. Or a rebuilding of that stupid temple in Israel.
∆ this.
God wins. It's the entire theme of the Bible.
There is no apocalypse. Revelation was about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
God's favorite Bible verse, because it's repeated more than any other verse, is speaking to Jesus when he says "sit at my right hand while I make all of your enemies your footstool"
God told Jesus "ask of me and I will give you all the nations as your inheritance." Do you think that Jesus forgot to ask?
It says in the last days it'll be like in the days of Noah. Now most of you know that the arc was symbolic of Jesus... One door those that were in it were saved from the judgment to come. Now ask yourself who's swept off the Earth in the days of Noah? Was it those that were in the ark /Jesus Or was it the wicked?
Pre-millennial dispensationalism only became popular approximately 200 years ago with the publication of the Schofield reference Bible which was the first Bible with eschatological notes. Notes explaining the end times. Unfortunately it took a position that was very unusual and not what Christians had traditionally believed for over a thousand years.
In my opinion dispensationalism is the greatest lie the devil is ever told. It's convinced Christians to hide in their churches for the most part and practically celebrate when they see things getting worse instead of going out there and taking dominion as their commanded to by God over every part of the culture.
No THIS ☝️is a much better synopsis of what I believe. I was dripping milk but this is the meat of the matter. Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you Data. I'm not directly familiar with 'dispensationalism' as a theology, but what you write here resonates very strongly.
I am of the firm opinion that the literalist attitude towards interpreting certain sections of the scripture has led many astray and makes Christian worship almost into a form of superstition.
Symbols such as fire, the moon, the sun, heaven (the upper atmosphere), earth, etc, are mostly better understood as language used 2000 years ago to describe what at the time was intellectually unknowable, but spiritually perceivable.
Resurrection is a powerful case in point. Examination of scripture indicates that resurrection as referenced in scripture is the restoration of life from a state of being dead, but there are different types of death talked about in scripture, and Jesus himself highlights this point when he said "leave the dead to bury the dead".
The latter 'dead' here clearly means the physically dead, when the body ceases functioning and the spirit passes on. However, the former 'dead' here clearly means those who have not yet received and united with Jesus. It means spiritual death, because those people were still breathing and functioning physically.
Likewise, when Adam and Eve fell, they 'died'. "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Yet Adam lived physically for close to 1000 years. So what death happened when Adam and Eve fell, on that day? Spiritual death.
What is spiritual death then? It is the state of being separated from God and God's sovereignty, where God's (spiritual) life-giving love and truth are accessible, and being under Satan's sovereignty, cut off from God's love and light.
From this perspective, resurrection means the process of moving from Satan's realm of spiritual death and disconnect with God, and being restored to God's sovereignty. It is a spiritual process. There was not recorded visibly different features between Jesus disciples and those who did not believe in Jesus. Also, there is no perceivable physical difference between a believer and a non-believer, or someone who receives Christ. Yet, in the moment of accepting Christ, a resurrection takes place and continues on.
Again, from this perspective, the first resurrection in the last days is not saints physical bodies being recomposed (what would happen if two believers from different time periods both used the same atoms in their physical bodies when they were alive?) and somehow supernaturally rising up into the air, but rather is when a completely new level of resurrection is unveiled and enacted at Christ's return.
In scripture, particularly the new testament, clouds, too, can be understood as symbolizing something. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses" Heb 12:1. He's talking about a multitude, not about evaporated water particles.
Water: Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. Rev 17:15 The angel even explains directly what the waters represent here.
What are clouds? They are water that has evaporated, where all impurities are left behind. Clouds are purified water.
When the believers and saints are resurrected, such that all impurities are washed away, they will form the "clouds" "on which" Christ returns. In other words, "Christ coming on the clouds" itself is symbolic language, describing a situation where Christ returns, believers are resurrected and purified, and become the saints surrounding Christ returned just as the disciples surrounded and worked with Christ when he came first.
And so on. In my view, a lot of scriptural symbology needs to be unlocked, so that we can correctly understand and prepare and have right practice, particularly in the end times. Only in this way will it be possible to reconcile the intellectual development God has given us with the spiritual faith that lifts up truth.
Amen
There is a reason the book is called Revelation.
Revelation = the “Revealing”
Mystery Babylon is the woman/ harlot who rides the Beast in Revelation 17 - the religious system it is not the Babylon itself the fall of which is accounted in Revelation 18 the commercial system.
Mystery Babylon is the Satanic control system which lulls humanity into a trance the trance of which is "beast consciousness" (anti-human/non-truthseeking consciousness/anti-christ consciousness).
An example of which happened in ancient Babylon.
I'll just stick with what the Bible actually says, thanks.
There is a LOT of symbolism used in the scripture, don't you think?
Show me where Biblical scripture specifies where exactly it is?
The woman is the catholic church.
Show me the Biblical scripture that specifies who she is?
I believe it is all of the above
So Kamala?
