AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 13:3 I saw one of his heads which seemed to have a fatal wound, but his fatal wound was healed; and the entire earth followed after the beast in amazement. |
Bible Question:
I was just pondering the possibility that the deadly wound referred to in Rev 13:3 may have occurred already, in a form that is a pre-cursor to our Lord's second coming. The San Francisco Chronicle in 1929 described the "Wound Healed of Many Years," as it talked about the return of papal power after 59 years of removal. I don't know how Arthur Murray came up? |
Bible Answer: Hi, MzVicki... John Trapp (1601-1669) thought it occurred in 1378 AD; John Gill (1690-1771) thought it occurred in 476 AD; Robert Jamieson (1802-1880) thought it occurred sometime subsequent to 1870 AD; then there are all our contemporary prophecy mongers (1970-) who think it is yet to occur. Affixing apocalyptic prophetic particulars to specific historic events, while appealing to man's speculative curiosity, seems fraught with difficulties. If there is no agreement from one end of the eschatological spectrum to the other, I am doubtful that anyone in our forum will be able to provide a better answer. Furthermore, since our forum is rooted in the authority of Scripture, we would not want to provide a basis from which the less prudent of our members might be tempted to render an answer more definitive answer than that provided by the Word (cf Deuteronomy 4:2 and Luke 17:1-4). In Him, Doc |
