1 | Revelation not a book of future prophecy | Revelation | koscheiman | 172874 | ||
If Revelation is "a book of future prophecy," then we are in a regime of prophecy still, and living in an age of prophecy. But the Lord declared in Luke 16:16 that "The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it." The phrase "until John" here does not mean until John appeared, but until John's order ended. At the house of Cornelius, in Acts 10:37, Peter used the phrase "after the baptism which John preached." Jesus said "until" John, and Peter said "after" John. Obviously after John meant until the cross; and until John meant until the cross. Jesus did not say the law was until the cross--He said the law and. And what? The law and the prophets were until the cross--which meant prophecy ended exactly when and where the law ended. The word "until" expresses the point of termination. So both law and prophecy were terminated by the cross of Christ and "since that time the kingdom of God is preached." Revelation was not a book of future prophecy but one in which the reader was already taking part. Revelation is about the destruction of Jerusalem and the victory of Christ and His people over the persecution of the Jews, Rome, and the heathen. partially taken from The Book of Revelation" by Foy E Wallace, Jr |

Hello kosheiman, So, are you advocating and holding to a Preterist View? I do not buy the assertion that "until" expresses the point of termination of the law and prophecy! It sounds more like an opinion than anything with a solid basis. Might I inquire how so? Additionally, how the fall of Jerusalem can be thought to fit the description of Revelation 19 is a wonder! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
