Subject: REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed |
Bible Note: RC, I'm not much for debating this subject because the truth is I have not studied it that much. Reading along with this thread I have a question that comes to mind reading your post however so to help me understand your point of view could you please explain? Am I correct your response is in regards to what John pointed out in Revelation 1:11 when you said "Well as long as you know that all 7 Churches didnt exsist in 90 AD then thats just fine, in 63 AD three of them were destroyed by yes an earth quake. And believe it or not Laodocia wasnt rebuilt till 121 AD..."? The reason I ask is I want to make sure this is what you are addressing. If so then I need to ask you to explain if you would your understanding of what the physical churches that were destroyed have to do with Revelation 1:11? It appears to me your view is founded on 3 churches being destroyed by an earth quake. I fail to see what the physical church has to do with it. You don't mean the people of the church were destroyed in the earth quake do you? Am I understanding you correctly? If so, could it be your understanding is based on assumption the church was no more because the physical structure was destroyed in the earth quake and the fact is the writing was not intended for the physical structure but for the church (i.e. the people)?
