Yeah because eschatologically most modern churches are in the darbyism camp of premillennial dispensationalism which is NOT what Christians believed for about 1800 years before the publication of the Schofield reference Bible about 200 years ago.
Unfortunately that was the first Bible with footnotes and it was widely adopted by pastors and seminaries spreading this fringe view of the end times that is currently predominant today.
If modern Christians understood that all the destruction language in the book of Revelation was about the upcoming destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father making all of his enemies his foots stool, we would be in a lot better place.
God wins down here. Only the wicked will be swept away just like in the days of Noah. Those that are in Christ, which is symbolic of the ark, will escape judgment.... Here on Earth.
True. That was the Puritans Bible of choice but it leaned the opposite direction towards Post millennialism. But it didn't dive into it as much and the Schofield reference Bible had significantly more footnotes and was rapidly widely adopted spreading this premillennial dispensationalism throughout evangelicalism.
Excellent points! Jesus prophesied the destruction of the Temple in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13. That came to pass in 70 AD! That was a great tribulation for apostate Israel. An excellent verse by verse commentary on the book of Revelation was written by David Chilton - "The Days of Vengeance". BTW do you know who bankrolled the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible?

May guess you’ve been listening to John Rich
Nope. Couldn't even tell you who that is.
Actually, the first bible with footnotes was The Geneva Bible. 🤷🏻

I do not like dispensationalism.
Big bad.

You can actually make the argument from the Old testament alone.
