Greetings again Dschaertel! I see that you have no problem in asking us questions! However, I will ask you a question in return.. Rev 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will strike him with the plagues that are written in this book. Rev 22:19 If anyone takes away any words from the book of this prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book. [ISV] Is Revelation 22:18-19 only speaking of the book of Revelation? Or the New Testament? Or the Old Testament? And you most likely know that the book of Revelation was written around A.D. 90 or even later, which would most assuredly qualify it as being the last book that was written by the apostles. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, "Is Revelation 22:18-19 only speaking of the book of Revelation? Or the New Testament? Or the Old Testament?" I believe that this only speaks of the book of Revelation. If you do a study on this you can see, however, that Revelation is loaded with quotations of Old Testament scripture. Because it is so rich in this way I understand it to be highly symbolic. I also am not convinced that Revelation was written around 90 or 96 AD as some say. I believe it was written prior to 70 AD, most likely 68 or so during the reign of Nero. This is most evident from Rev. 17:10 which seems to identify the time. Nero was the sixth Roman emperor. His name in Hebrew also adds up to 666. And there are many more nice fits. The aparent urgency of the prophecy also makes a good fit. Jesus said these things were about to happen very shortly. 70AD is pretty shortly after 68AD. If this was written in 96, then Jesus was apparently misleading us with this urgency stuff, because there are no events that can be identified that fulfill this prophecy at the very end of the first century. |
