While I have you here, I am always thankful for you being here and I would like to apologize if I came off condescending, or haughty or arrogant elsewhere although that is what makes up 99 percent of what I am, if you burned me down to ashes, the ashes would spell out those words. The sad thing is is that i never realize it when I am saying it lol, sucks for me.
No apology necessary. Perhaps I should apologise for not engaging properly with you before now. It's never intended personally ..no it isn't...no! No I swear it isn't... shuddap!!...It isn't . We were probably never going to make any impression one on the other. It just might be useful to the peanut gallery.
"..... impression I get in Paul and the gospels. other than perhaps Luke where it seems to dawn on him that this stuff ought to have happened by now and he even suggests that it has, but nobody noticed. And it does look as though Revelation is intended to happen at least before Constantine. No, I'm not putting any trust in the writer of Revelation....."
You are not alone, I have a multitude of dead bodies that I killed with unrelenting ramblings and boredoms, and I am sure many more to come.
It's too bad we don't all live around the same region, I used to be a lot of fun puttings forum member parties together, we would reserve hotels with 600 people, that was something and that was every week, I miss meeting the people I speak with, I am sure you and me would be famous friends.
I'm willing to entertain the hypothesis that Revelation is symbolic retrospective history like Daniel. I would like to bet that matching it to history up to the end of the Jewish war would fit quite nicely.
Imagine if our school system taught through religious myth instead of the findings of science.
Ah, history. So boring that it has to lie to garner attention. Well, only boring to that vast majority that doesn't really care about the facts as much as their own perceived interests.

One of the most interesting aspects of history is how the old myths come under re -evaluation. Re-examination of Agincourt to debunk the previous "Real" reason why the French lost (The English didn't Win, the French Lost) is almost like a re -issue of a new airliner every few years. The latest explanation is that it was simply poor crowd -control.
The book of Revelation was written by a man named John who was an exiled prisoner. He had nothing to do but write down his visions. But there was a lot of anger mixed with love.
What would you think about a modern day prisoner who was doing the same thing? When people are in isolation they can have all kinds of wild and crazy thoughts. Anger. Love. Resentment. Forgiveness. Etc. But would you really trust this person who was a criminal? Regardless of whether the person was exiled for a true crime or whatever. The thoughts of extreme judgement that a person could have is kind of troubling.
Does anyone else understand my point of view?
Truth be told, you'd have been one of the people in the mob yelling to "Crucify him!" Or maybe one of the Israelites in the desert crying out for meat when they had manna given to them.
It's ok though, I would have, as well, without the Spirit of God calling me to him.

Wait, "It's okay" that someone else would have wanted to brutally murder someone, because you would have as well? And how is that because you have a heart for murder (I hope the people around you are safe), you assume other people do as well?

You assumed that Ozzy would have desired to see someone brutally murdered. You assumed that because you would have desired to see that person brutally murdered, that must mean Ozzy would as well, apparently. How did I miss your point?
You are not alone, I have a multitude of dead bodies that I killed with unrelenting ramblings and boredoms, and I am sure many more to come.
I have a multitude of dead bodies, too, except I used my M-16, artillery and air strikes to do it.
