Are we in the tribulation

[BodhisattvaStyle]

I have to agree with ya on all of that. That articulation of it is the only thing I've heard that actually balances out that revelation equation. 

You got me thinkin' now...

I

I just added a paragraph, after you read it - because I'm a kid at heart and can't help myself - to further complicate revelations. it's this one:

To further complicate it, Revelations was written in symbols and symbolic "code", to hide it's revelations from prying eyes who, in the first century AD, were not privy to the Christian teachings of those days. A "New Jerusalem" may not be, and is probably not, and actual physical cubic city larger than the earth flying out of the sky like a comet to obliterate what is now, physically. A "temple" may not be, and probably is not, a large cubic building on the top of Mount Moriah. The "Great Whore of Babylon" may not be, and probably is not, an actual sex worker in the Iraqi desert wastes where a great city once stood. That sort of thing.

.I remember learning about that "code" Revelation was written in and why. 
That is exactly what changed my entire perception of that book. 

I kind of like how catholics put it. "It has already happened, and is happening now, and will still happen."


Something like that.
