I can punch 2 big holes in that respectfully....

1st: There is no "Revelations" in the Bible. It's "Revelation" (a book where over 50% of it is almost direct quotes from the Old Testament.) So none of those Q posts are talking about scripture in the cases you linked with the added "s"

2nd. "Revelation" was primarily about the upcoming destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD by Rome. All that symbolic language would have been clear to a Jew in that time (i.e. 7 headed, 10 horned beast = Rome that had 7 hills with 10 governors) and no one was thinking thousands of years in the future for something that Jesus said would happen in THAT generation.

Basically about 200 years ago a lie took root in Christianity with the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible, the FIRST bible to have footnotes explaining passages and concepts like Eschatology (fancy word for "end times") This Bible was widely adopted by preachers and seminaries but it taught a view of the "end times" that is wildly different than what Christians had traditionally believed. The lie is pre-millennial dispensationalism, aka "Rapture".

This lie has crippled the modern church. No one is planning and building and thinking of their great great grandchildren or building things that will last 500+ years.** No one polishes brass on a sinking ship.**

I know this is new for many of you but I would encourage you to look into this. The traditional viewpoint of end times summed up is "God Wins" and we take dominion over the Earth as Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father making all of His enemies His foot stool.

Here's a collection of sermons, discussions, lectures, and debates on this subject I would encourage you to check out or bookmark for later. These are very prominent and respected theologians, historians, writers, and pastors and not some rando youtube kooks trying to sell you a magic prayer cloth.

Learn what the founding fathers believed, it wasn't that they were going to be raptured.
