Forgive me I'm on my phone.
Trying to be brief, I wanna know where you all think we are in relation to the End Times specifically in relation to Revelation events of chapters 5-11.
People get fired up over this stuff but lets have some humility and not get caught up in the weeds over specifics. None of us saw God's people waging war with memes on their 'reading into the text'. Lol
My preception has become we are probably somewhere within Rev 5-11, and the Big Klotter has the big showdown on what seems to be a timer the book keeps these events constrained within in relation to another.
My opinion is a rough quick and dirty understanding of Revelation is meant to be easy to understand and that the seals are just human history in advanced given to us, unsealed thank be to Jesus Christ. Regardless of it's God provoked events, man or even evil provoked events. But then vials and trumpets are specifying its from God specifically events but happen to be contained within the seals timeframe so overlap naturally occurs.
I think the Rev 11 chapter ends with finality from God, then we see the same thing from the second witness He likes to require oftens prespective much like the Gospels He allotted 4 perspectives. The second perspective of these events just double the chapter of 6 and its 12, double chapter 7 and its 14. They coincide that way in my opinion, and the finality of 11 is the finality of 22 from a second witnesses perspective.
Thats my more nuanced take on it. Regardless, I say that to say, since I think we are within the 5-11 frame that also means I think we are within an overlapping 12-22 frame.
Q and the awakening however has me thrown for a loop, because this nosedive the world is in that fits Revelation and the timeframe constraint is there. The empowerment of the people though and resistance to the system, is something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime muchless at the moments that seem to be the end of days from every normie viewing angle, and has me question if we are really in this timeframe, a prelude to it for the mark of the beast? A whole generation away due to the massive blow the Q circles have brought to light? Anyone feel pretty oriented here?
Well...we are either going to have a Great Awakening or the Second Coming of Christ...I don't mind saying that I lean more heavily toward the Second Coming of Christ...I put more value into God and scripture than Q...and it is hard to ignore Revelation...my hope would be that there is a Great Awakening...but reality does sometimes collide with what I hope could be our future...after all I have children and grandchildren that I hope could have a happy life...
I have often wondered what a judgement on a country or people looks like...we have plenty of examples in the OT...so the question legitimately can be asked...are we in the judgements of Revelation or just heading to the precipice to usher in the Great Awakening...I respect people that believe differently...but whatever tomorrow brings it is important to fight for truth and justice...there is a lot of work to be done no matter what tomorrow brings...especially sharing the Gospel message...that is ultimately our only hope and salvation....
So...if people want to downvote fine...Q taught us to question and think for ourselves...and if nothing else we have been exposed to many evils that have existed throughout time...expertly honed by the passage of time...evil has always existed and the addition of technology has made the world a very hazardous place to live in...so my prayer is Maranatha...but hey...that's just me...
Here's a little something on judgment and Revelation...............wrote it a few days ago:
