[Faith Presses On]

The battles recorded in Revelation are ongoing and have been ongoing.

But that doesn’t prevent them from being historical and being prophetic of specific End Times events to come.

The same battles from Adam and Eve in the Garden, being tempted by the serpent, are ongoing. Yet at a certain time, near the beginning, those events actually happened.

Not only in Revelation, but in other places in the New Testament and in the Bible overall we have prophecies of these End Times and the news that this world will not continue forever.

666 - the Beast - does represent man. And the False Prophet represents man leaning on his own understanding, his reason. Never have we done that so much, collectively, as we do now do to our trust in “science and technology.”

“Advanced” modern societies worship them as gods, forgetting the point to life here is to go on to Heaven to live with God while incidentally not going to Hell and existing without Him and without hope.

The False Prophet of “reason, science, and technology” does wonders that make people turn away from God and lead them to worship the 666 Beast, Man. It’s always been this way to some extent, but in our times, we’ve taken this to unprecedented levels. So many people will say outright that they believe man should replace God as our highest authority.

And with that all said, the Beast and the False Prophet will also no doubt be actual persons. Call them the ultimate Beast and the ultimate False Prophet. Others have been like them throughout history, just not to the same extreme, and the predecessors helped pave the way for the final, supreme Beast and False Prophet.

Regardless, the plain English in Revelation 19:11-16,19-21 directly contradicts Angelino97's denial posted as His Third Coming in which the world will end, with the judgment for all [actually the second part of his second coming WITH his saints].

"Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints." Jude 14.
