Thank you. You really said a mouthful.

Peace on earth depends on reaching and changing persons of ILL will. Persons of Goodwill are NOT the problem.

They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.â€-Revelation 21:3,4

Seems legit.

I don't understand every detail of the book.

But even non religious sources report on the overall theme

"The imagery shows that good triumphs over evil, that faithfulness will be rewarded and justice will be done."-https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/texts/revelation.shtml

Good triumphs over evil
faithfulness has its rewards
Justice will be done

Why are some uncomfortable with those themes?

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Whoever reads the book risks being put in prison for ten days, AND THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO THEM

Will this literally happen to the reader of the book?

Why ten days?

Those ten days begin on Rosh Hashanah, and they end on Yom Kippur, everyone who practices the same religion as Christ, they know exactly what those ten days are, and why judgment has come.

What happens on Rosh Hashanah? What is Rosh Hashanah appointed to do? Why do you die on the tenth day? What prison can the devil put you in?

It's just mind blowing to me that the concept of the feasts taking place IN THE TEMPLE (and we are now His temple), which is what Revelation is about, should be such a stumbling block to so many. If the natural physical temple was used for such, why on earth would He NOT do the same with us as His temple??? Blessings....

It should be a given that we are the temple and that the comings and goings of the temple are for us to walk through 7 visitations, and because we know that we are the temple, those 7 appointed visitation days should interest us more than anything on earth, especially because it is all about us.
