  • Michael Pfeiffer on Revelation 18 - 2 years ago
    Is this a prophecy for older times and so not much applicable to today? How do I discern from what is past and upcoming future events? God Bless your efforts, just trying to follow his word not believing every spirit that comes before me.
  • REAL TIME AND THE BOOK OF REVELATION__Streetpreacher - In Reply on Revelation 18 - 2 years ago
    The Book of Revelation concerns the LAST YEARS ON EARTH.

    We are given some SIGNS to be looking for, in Matthew chapter 24, and Luke 21.

    Another sign we are able to search is current news through the internet. The Palestinians in the Middle East (I mean specifically NON-Jews). They are looking for a man they call Mahdi. Some say Muhammad Mahdi). Most likely he will become The Antichrist. He may be in the United Nations. He will be Palestinian by blood line. So whoever he is, his father is also Palestinian.

    DONT be involved too much. But it's proof. Let GOD reveal the mystery.

    There are people right now who are making movies of THE END TIMES. For those who have not yet studied all the prophesies; who are media oriented: I think the easiest way to orientate someone on what is to soon come upon us in Reality; in daily life,

    Is to watch some End Time videos (year 2021 and forward). If you are into stock markets and like subjects; this will help you. Globalism is our Enemy. The Green Deal is a Religion. The Thought Leaders are in on it. Elon Musk is not a Christian, or a "savior". Just beware.

    Watch these videos on YouTube:

    1. BLESSON Tribulation (Genesis to heaven in 63 minutes

    2. REVELATION STATION. It used to be a gigantic video but it's several videos in one. After on ends a disclaimer box may appear, but the next video will start auto playing.

    Each segment is focused on:

    THE OPENING OF THE 7 SEALS

    THE 7 TRUMPETS

    THE RAPTURE

    The 7 BOWL JUDGMENTS

    ARMAGEDDON

    THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

    there's a separate video called: revelation station MAMMON (worship of money, deceit, sex, drugs/sorcery)

    This should awaken you to WHY things are happening. Like world wide drought. Water sources drying up. Food is becoming limited because of crop and meat animal deaths. No fertilizer. We may become like Africa which is experiencing mass deaths of people, meat animals, no fresh water. Christians are being killed for their faith.

    Basically; the final destruction of Babylon didn't occur. Revelation 17 seems to talk of the spiritual Babylon; something the Beast has to destroy to gain complete worship for Himself (i.e. Satan). Revelation 18 discusses the economic Babylon and a "great city" being destroyed. Some have guessed this is New York City; others suggest that it is in the same geographical locale as ancient Babylon. The ecumenical center of the 3 monotheistic faiths in Dubai along with a city 30 times larger than New York City which is planned to be ultramodern; with a drone based transportation system makes this seem more feasible.

    At any event; this will make way for the Mark of the Beast; and either worship of Satan or of God. There will be no more false religious system; or any comfort in materialism. We must remember that it is worshipping the image of the Beast with food being a sidenote that drives people to taking the mark. Death will be for all those not taking it; although a few will survive until the end and into the Millennium period in hiding.

    Thankfully; 2 Thess. 2 seems to indicate that the church will be out of here before that. Also we have the verse about the gates of hell not prevailing against the church today ( Matt. 16:18). However; the saints will be overcome according to Daniel in the time of Jacob's trouble ( Rev. 13:7; Daniel 7:21; Jeremiah 30:7).

    These prophecies must surely occur; although it is held back to some extent now. Once the lawless one is revealed; things will be exponentially worse than ever before and than it ever will be ( 2 Thess. 2:8; Matt.24:21).

    May you be richly blessed as you study His word; particularly Revelation as we are promised that reading that book ( Rev. 1:3).

    The Revelation, dear Michael is all about events to happen during the last seven years on earth, at the time that the antichrist will rule on earth till the very end with the coming of Jesus and His saints on earth. GBU
