So let me see campion if I have you right...

You believe God in His Holy Word allegorized the military action Titus took against Jerusalem with the word "EARTHQUAKE used in Revelation 11:13

...Rev 11:13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Is that right? And the "seven thousand people" mentioned in Rev 11:13 really means 1.5 Million? Is that what you are saying?

No, I give up. You win: the historical context in which John lived when he wrote Revelation is meaningless, just a bizarre convoluted irrelevancy. The last vestige of the independance of the Jews was wiped out, one and 1/2 million of the Jewish people were massacred, the survivors were so desperate for food that they cooked and ate their own children, the Temple of the Most High God was burnt to the ground and then desecrated with idolatrous worship, and much of the Holy City of the Jewish people was flattened ... and 50 years later, all of it would be flattened and Jews prohibited from even looking at it, much less living in it.

However, all of this meant nothing to John: he was fixated on a vision of 21st century talking statues, "Roman One-World Churches," Zionist socialist states founded by UN decrees, and the "Rapture". Can we work implanted microchips into this somehow?

I now see the deep reverence toward God's Holy Word implied by the stunning clarity of your insights.
