I live in the era when the "demon spirits" are gathering the kings of the whole world to capture Jerusalem, at a place called Har-Magedon, which is located between Jerusalem and Damascus (Revelation 16:13-19) & (Joel 3:2 & 12) & (Zechariah 14:1-3), a time when all the cities of the nations will "fall". Are you ready?
Revelation 1, NOW let me tell you what must SOON come to pass and be OVER, beware, it MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS.
You quote Revelation as if it is speaking of a future as if Revelation contradicts itself in the first sentence, AND in the last thing said. Revelation isn't a future the world is waiting on, it is waiting on you to live by the prophesies of the book.
Daniel is not about some 7 year tribulation waiting for Jews, it is the covenant you are now in and don't know it.
Jesus told you that when you see the abomination standing in the holy place in a wing of the temple, that YOU SHOULD LISTEN.
Let the reader understand that he IS THE TEMPLE, EVERYTHING prophesied of the temple, and of Jerusalem is about YOU.
You don't believe you are the temple though, you might say it in passing or in some grand general way, but people never consider the words coming out of they mouth when they are claiming to be the temple.
What is it that you are supposed to do before the day of the coming of the Lord?
Lest you get your head cut off, how you gonna get a new head?
Getting beheaded for Christ is not a maybe, it is not that a couple people got beheaded, it is that EVERYONE, every overcomer MUST get beheaded because all are born with a fallen Adam and everyone who seeks Christ is seeking a new Head, a new Adam, BUT HOW CAN YOU DIE TO THE OLD FALLEN SPIRIT IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE TEMPLE?
Or is it that a human being is two kingdoms with two minds? Is the wicked son of perdition within us all?
Was it it sown into you?
The "good seed" was the "word of the kingdom" (Matthew 13:19). The "tare" seed, sown by the "enemy", is the word of lawlessness (Matthew 13:41). Two messages, and two different types of followers. You have the tares, the "wicked" (Matthew 7:49), and the wheat, the righteous, the product of the "good seed". The tares are "harvested" "first" and "bundled" and "burned" (Matthew 13:30).
When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the wing of the temple, what are you to do?
It is very specific instructions, and every one of those first Gentile converts were waiting for the day of the coming of the Lord in their lifetimes.
Those instructions were directed to "those who are in Judea" (Matthew 24:16). Probably not too many "Gentile converts" in Judea as Paul was chased out of Jerusalem. As per Joel 2:31-32, it is those "on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, there will be those who escape"/"survive.

Revelation 1 was supposedly written around 100 A.D. What was "shortly come to pass" which hadn't taken place with the mostly dead disciples of Yeshua?
I think we are managing just fine, Hannie...don't let it get you down...
The church is NOT managing - at all.
Contentment with the situation isn't God's answer. God's answer is repentance.
When the gospel is corrupted and when such corruption is applauded it is no longer a message of truth. It becomes a diluted series of words that have no meaning no intent and no hope.
For centuries the church has taught that it has replaced the the true vine - Israel/Jews. It has justified crimes against humanity and doctrines of demons because it has refused the Biblical teaching that gentiles need to be joined together with Israel in the eyes and spirit of God.
In doing so the church has lost all authority both spiritual and temporal as well as the respect of mankind.
And so we arrive at this present day when apostasy is the rule rather than the exception, when church corruption appears on the front pages of our newspapers. Instead of respectability it has earned contempt and disregard. Its religious games no longer have meaning to anyone.
No. The church is not managing. It has even abandoned the pretense of managing. It has become a financial franchise on the order of MacDonald's and Walmart peddling religion rather than things of use and sustenance.
The church is ICHABOD. (*)
It is time to repent.
"It is time for judgment to begin in the house of the Lord." - 1 Peter 4:17
May God bring it swiftly. May God bring repentance with it.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
(*) Ichabod means "the glory has departed". 1 Samuel 4:21
In modern parlance, it means the Holy Spirit is NOT present for services and celebrations.

The "awesome day of the LORD" is a time when "repentance" may be a little late. One must seek the LORD while he may be found. What "YHWH's valley of judgment" against the nations/Gentiles (Joel 2:2 & 12) will bring is Ephraim and Judah will "acknowledge their guilt" (Hosea 5:15). Jacob/Israel will be caught up in the "awesome day of the LORD" but a remnant will survive. (Zechariah 13:9). The nations are right now witnessing rain, floods, and winds (Matthew 7:25), but they remain unrepentant, and want the "beast"/government (Revelation 13:4) to heal their wounds. In the meantime, the house built on sand, is teetering on a "fall" (Matthew 7:27).
The "good seed" was the "word of the kingdom" (Matthew 13:19). The "tare" seed, sown by the "enemy", is the word of lawlessness (Matthew 13:41). Two messages, and two different types of followers. You have the tares, the "wicked" (Matthew 7:49), and the wheat, the righteous, the product of the "good seed". The tares are "harvested" "first" and "bundled" and "burned" (Matthew 13:30).
You are the wheat and the tare dude, the wicked and the righteous, but alot of people can't grasp this because they are convinced they are wholly, Holy.
Who will save you from this body of death where you do what you don't want to do?
The problem with Christianity is that they want it to be black and white, they want to be the righteous living amongst the wicked as if they are so much better than most of the world because there are the righteous and the wicked, and they MUST be the righteous.
Wicked, wicked wicked, everyone is wicked except us, and we don't even need a Messiah, we are righteous.
