While I do have to scoff at the prevalence of people screaming that the end is perpetually “right around the corner”, I agree with you that Revelation is meaningless without being viewed through the lens of the other scriptures.


I strongly agree with you.

Also, I believe that the prophesy in the bible (it’s mostly prophesy) is not there to “predict the future”. Rather, the prophesy is there as warnings as well as proof of the accuracy of the bible. It’s a little like the parent’s prophesy to their teenaged daughter, “if you sleep around you are gonna get pregnant.”

I would say that’s an incredibly accurate comparison.

But it IS!

And is more likely going to be delivered to ME by a drunken Chevy driver or a defensive act by a tree I'm attempting to saw down.
