Why Did Revelation Not Mention About The Destruction Of The 2nd Temple by MindHacker9009(m): 5:45pm On Aug 09, 2023
The Book of Revelation was written around 96 AD but John did not mention about the destruction of the 2nd temple that happened in 70 AD. Was John not aware that the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed?

What is the essence of talking about Jerusalem destruction when what John received was A NEW REVELATION of what is coming upon earth?

Revelation about destruction of Jerusalem has been revealed years before Jesus came to earth.

So read your Bible to find it.

There is no where in the New Testament where is say the 2nd Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. So how do you know what has been fulfilled if it is not in The New Testament. What if Revelation has already been fulfilled like the 2nd Temple that was revealed like you said.

So does it necessarily need to be stated?

See question, you read it somewhere that something will happen and it happened. And you still want to know if it's fulfilled or not cheesy grin cheesy

What if Revelation has already been fulfilled like the 2nd Temple that was revealed like you said.

What "IF" Revelation...

Jerusalem destruction happened, so check if all what written in Revelation have happened or not.

Do you mean that John should have recorded the destruction of a temple that had happened 20yrs prior as a revelation from heaven?

The book of Revelation recorded future events. The destruction of the second temple was already a past event in AD 96.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Huh? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

More than half of the chapters in the book are written around and about that very incident which took place over 1900 years ago during the last days of God's very own Nation of Israel -- Judah included. Have you ever actually read any of the books for yourself. undecided

That is not the truth at all given that what was described by John, up until after the pouring out of the sixth bowl are events that took placd over 1900 years ago. undecided

2. Jesus Christ spoke of the destruction of Jerusalem seems His coming heralded the fulfillment of God's Judgement of Old against the Nation of Israel-- and Judah--- in Matthew 24, Luke 21 & Mark 13. undecided

Jesus only foretold the destruction of that temple and explained to his Jewish disciples (who were so proud of their temple) that the destruction will Mark the end of Jewish system of worship!

So by the time Roman Soldiers surrounded the city many Jews were trapped inside Jerusalem with no means of escape then there was an ongoing war between Rome and another nation so more soldiers were needed that's why those surrounding Jerusalem were withdrawn to go and join their armies at the battle front, this gave way for Jesus' disciples to escape because they remembered vividly what he told them about 37 years before then:

“However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains, let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, because these are days for meting out justice in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled" Luke 21:20-24

According to secular history Jerusalem was overthrown and the second temple destroyed just as Jesus of Nazareth foretold his disciples escaped leaving everything they can't carry away from that city behind while unbelieving Jews remained thinking it was a miracle from their God only for the Roman armies to return from the battle where most of their men has fallen but this time around they were bitter than ever, they no longer surrounded the city but entered forcefully to kill millions of Jews in Jerusalem.

Thanks to the fine shepherd Jesus of Nazareth who forewarned his disciples about the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the end of Jewish system of things! smiley

Wrong biblical interpretations
Re: Why Did Revelation Not Mention About The Destruction Of The 2nd Temple by Davoneskay(m): 3:36pm On Aug 10, 2023
The problem today is that most people read the Bible like novels. To interpret what is the bible, you need the Holy Spirit. First and foremost, in the book of Proverbs Chapter 1:1 - 6, the bible was not written for the canal mind.

Not to bore you to much, the temple may mean a building but prophetically, it means your body. Not everybody's body is a temple. The Bible made it clear that our body is the temple of God. But in the book of Daniel and other books of the prophets, there is something called, 'abomination of desolation.'

Not everyone knows the meaning but several people are passing through this bondage. I am not too good at memorizing bible verses. But I will try to mention some bible verses ... Daniel 11:28 - 30 spoke about Holy Covenant and abomination of desolation likewise Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Christ spoke about it.

Now the full explanation - when you are innocent, that is, you are not into sourcery/witchcraft or worship no other God except Jehovah, you are in conformity with the holy covenant. But once you become a witch/wizard/soucerer/idol worshipper, then the abomination of desolation is your new line and your master is Satan.
In the book of Daniel 11:31, the sanctuary (that is the body, i.e. temple) got defiled by Satan who made those who forsook the holy covenant to become witches and wizards when they least expected, hence, their worship to Jehovah God cannot be accepted anymore. Hence, the writing in Daniel 11:31, "... And forces shall be mustered by him (the beast) and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation."

In my next comment, I will interpret the signs of the end of time prophetically.

Please note, I am not a prophet or pastor. I am a Christian.

In this comment, I will interpret what 666, the mark of the beast, means. I will also talk about some deep end time signs according to the books of Matthew and Mark.

Matt 24:1 -51 and Mark 13:1 - 37 spoke about the signs of the end time. But most people do not understand some certain events that will take place. These events are:

1) "Lawlessness will abound." (Matt 24:12)
2) "Abomination of desolation " (Matt24:15 - 20, Mark 13:14 - 18)

Explanation on Point 1:

In 2Thess Chapter 2, the Bible addressed the issue of the lawlessness man whose working is like that of Satan. The Antichrist is the lawless man. Satanism, witchcraft, sourcery are all forms of Antichrist. In today's world, the percentage of adults who are witches and wizards are more than those who aren't. (I know many people will come for me for this but I will proceed). Lawlessness will abound because the population of witchcraft and it's activities will be so enormous than it has ever been in previous centuries. Hence, the love of many will grow cold.

Point 2 explanations:

As explained in my previous post where I cited the book of Daniel, the abomination of desolation is sponsored the Satan. It is witchcraft. One does not need to visit a witch doctor before becoming a witch in this case of the end time. One may be in his house and next thing, discover 'overtime' that he is constantly finding himself in strange places in his dream. And before he knows what's up, it is too late to turn back. I don't know how to explained this part but some people who are witches will understand that they where in their residence and they started seeing or hearing strange things and before they could say Jack Robinson, they have already been captured into the bondage.
Those chosen by God will be excused out of this trap because they will just leave that environment in a funny way (this is deep and crazy but those chosen by God will understand). And that is how they will excape. In fact, it may be raining heavy or snowy seriously or at night when they will leave that environment at that moment (Mk 13:14-15, and Matt 24:16-18). But those who refused to leave, Matt 24:19 and Mark 13:17, WOE betides them as they will become witches.
This is prophetic and very hard to understand to some.

Now to the MARK OF THE BEAST:
Like I have said severally, I am not too good in quoting scriptures but when quoted by someone else, God will help me to explain.
The Mark of the Beast is not going to be invented by scientists or religion workers. This sign is all over the world today. All witches, idolaters, sourcerers, satanists, etc have it. I will go further. A witch is added by demons to see into the spiritual world. This demon can place itself on the head of the witch and will keep rubbing some the witch's eyes so that the witch can see into the spirit realm. A witch just need to rub his/her forehead or part of his/her head to see anything the physical eyes or mind can see or comprehend. This demon (beast) is the source of inspiration, understanding, wisdom etc to witches and wizard. It is their source of empowerment. Without it, they are dummies. This beast (demon) is the 666.

I am opened to questions and corrections. Thanks.

I have just one question for you!

When God poured His Holy Spirit on disciples of Christ they all had the same line of thought regarding faith in Christ and the scriptures {John 17:17, 22} so that they were preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all their neighbourhood. Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8

Please present the organization of zealous preachers and industrious teachers that the Holy Spirit is working with today just as it was working with Jesus' disciples as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers!

This is wrong! If you look closely at Matthew 24 which you quoted from you will find that the verses you reference go instead towards answering two different questions that were asked Jesus by His disciples. His apostles asked Him two different questions which Jesus Christ then proceeded to answer in that same context.

1 Jesus left the Temple area and was walking away. But his followers came to him to show him the Temple’s buildings.
2 [size=12pt]He asked them, “Are you looking at these buildings? The fact is, they will be destroyed. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another.”
3 Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. The followers came to be alone with him. They said, “■ Tell us when these things will happen. ■ And what will happen to prepare us for your coming and the end of time?”
4 Jesus answered, “Be careful! Don’t let anyone fool you.
5 Many people will come and use my name. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah.’ And they will fool many people.
6 You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes.
7 Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places.
8 These things are only the beginning of troubles, like the first pains of a woman giving birth... - Matthew 24 vs 1 - 29[/b[/size]]
From [b]verse 3 through verse 29, Jesus Christ carefully responds to the first question asked of Him by His followers regarding the end of the days, the final days of the temple in Jerusalem — the end of God's judgment against the Nation of Israel which began over 500 years before that point in time. All this took place over 1900 years ago. undecided

Verses 30-35 contain His response to the second question asked of the coming and the end of time.

○ The man of lawlessness describes the Roman government during the time that sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem were stopped for a period of 3.5 years. Without the temple functioning to purge the sins of the people through offering of sacrifices. Lawlessness(sin) is said to have reigned over the land and people had no way to obtain forgiveness from their many sins. This is the same man of lawlessness mentioned in the last week of the seventy weeks of seven prophecy. undecided

○ The abomination that causes desolation is the Roman army that surrounded zion and Jerusalem including the temple.

All these happened over 1900 years ago. undecided
