I agree with you, in that it applies to this age. Christ died for our sins in this age. Perhaps works were required in the first age as they will be in the 3rd age:

Perhaps you need to stop reading into Revelation. Just seeing how some people's minds go uncontrollably wild over it, I can understand the wisdom of the Church fathers in doubting it was inspired, and the Greek church keeping in on the list of "questionable" books for 900 years, and why it is never read in the Orthodox Church (thank God!).

At one point the Church decided that it was inspired but that it is beyond most people's ability to understand. But, more importantly, I think it was kept at a low level precisely because of the psychedelic effect it has on many self-interpreters of the scripture, to prevent more heresies from emerging.

Please do not post to me ANYTHING that comes from Revelation.

I will try not to but you do know what the word itself means:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - that is, the unveiling, the revealing, and Presentation to earth and heaven of the Lord Jesus Christ (Messiah) as "King of Kings and Lord of Lords".
