Parallels between Acts 4:25-32 and the book of Revelations
Biblegateway ^ | 54 AD | Luke and John

Posted on 04/12/2021 12:22:07 AM PDT by Cronos

25 you said by the holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant:

‘Why did the Gentiles rage(A)
    and the peoples entertain folly?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand
    and the princes gathered together
        against the Lord and against his anointed.’

27 Indeed they gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, Herod[a] and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,(B) 28 to do what your hand and [your] will had long ago planned to take place. 29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness, 30 as you stretch forth [your] hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 [b]As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.(C)

together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

Revelations Chapter 13

1 Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name[s]

... 11 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon

11 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon

=====

Out of the sea = gentile nations

Out of the land = of the Jewish nation

you're right and wrong. The Title of the book is The Book of Revelation OR the Apocalypse of John OR Revelation to John OR Revelation from Jesus Christ.

It's not the revelation of Jesus Christ but from

You can always tell when someone has no idea about what they are talking about; they incorrectly say Revelations instead of Revelation.

I was so excited about correcting you, I fell in to the blinded trap of mis-using the language myself.

God hates pride

“It's not the revelation of Jesus Christ but from”

well, the proper translation of the first sentence in the book is clearly “The Revelation of Jesus Christ....”
