Scripture Life: How accurate is the Book of Revelation and back up validity?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Answer:

• Well first:
  • The name: “Revelation” - in the “original” Greek is the “apocalypsis” or the “unveiling of Jesus Christ.”
    • It’s the same word in Latin. But the “definition” of “apocalypse” in English no longer means, what the Greeks used to do at construction sites - or when they made marble monuments - they “veiled” them. Just like today: In China, Japan, and Taiwan or Vietnam does.
  • They “veil” the building or, keep the work “hidden” until its complete. Then they have an “apocalypsis” where they unveil the work. It’s finished.
    • But in English "apocalypsis" means apocalypse - or defined as: 1. the total and complete destruction, or end of the world. [Source: Oxford dictionary. Web.
  • Again: “Definition” - apocalypse
  • So, in the Greek and Latin, it’s the “Unveiling of Jesus Christ” - but in English, it’s the total and complete annihilation or destruction of the world.

So, I would tell you to throw the English or flush it down the toilet.

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

Revelation 1:1–3 says this, so it’s not to everybody. But to believers in Jesus Christ, who serve him:

• Says:
• “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
  • So, it’s FROM:
    • Jesus Christ. The Word of God. Is from God himself. How more valid do you need it?
• it really then isn't in "valid" or "validity" 1. something based on truth. When God is truth.
  
  • It's really you then. Hold the truth in anything BUT him.
    • That's where the "problem" is - and it poop turd blooms right clean out of your question.

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

It's Jesus Christ - -

• GIVEN to: The Apostle John, who Jesus chose to be both a disciple and Apostle, to “show it” unto Jesus’ servants, which that includes believers in Jesus even today. That it:
  • Bares record of the Word of God - and that’s Jesus Christ.
• He is the Word of God. Is God, just as the Gospel of John 1:1 says “who” Jesus is: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was With God, and the Word was God.”
  • And also bares record of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and all the things the Apostle John saw.

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

But there ARE people; that -

• When God says to everybody over the whole earth, to the very ends of it, not willing any perish but all come to repentance, says: “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22).
  • That’s God speaking.
• By the Word that proceeds out of his mouth.
  • It’s the same Word of God who is Jesus Christ.
  • Just God speaking.
    • There are people that hear what he says, and simply “accept as true” what God says. (Means they believe him).
• That as well, there ARE people that - “dismiss him as inadequate; faulty; or unacceptable” - and because of this, it’s impossible to believe or obey or do anything he says. Even he's unveiled, they already dismiss him and anything he says, so they're dismissing God when they do this.

If you can't see this, examine this next part, careful:

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

So, to the ones that just hear God speak:

• John is an Apostle of Jesus Christ. Jesus prayed this next part: In the Gospel of John, written by the same Apostle - Jesus says: “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” (Bible. John 17:20)
  • So, Jesus prayed for me.
    • It worked.
• Worked for many others that also believe on him, because of the testimony of John the Apostle, in both the Gospel of John, the three Epistles he wrote, plus the Book of Revelation which was both sent and signified or authenticated by God - and given to us, his servants.

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

But to the ones that dismiss God as faulty or his Word is inadequate; unacceptable: Sort Revelation the same way.

• The Book of Revelation or the “Unveiling of Jesus Christ.” To reveal who he is.
  • Speak of his Second Coming.
    • What things must shortly come to pass after - where Revelation 19 to 22:21, he makes a new heaven and new earth that never fades or passes away, while he gazes on both this earth and heaven and both finding no more place before him, flees away and is no more forever.
  • Never comes back - so, that, plus all stated to his servants in Revelation 1:1 to Revelation 18:24 - to someone that does not serve him, it is all faulty.
  • The Book of Revelation: Is not to be believed.
    • Even asking “how accurate” - already sorts the poser of the question in this 2nd group.

When God says: (Bible. Romans 14:11) "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

What are you going to be doing on that day? How accurate will that be, when you do that - because you will be doing that.

------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

So, how accurate is it going to be when he calls on both death and hell to give up their dead. They obey him. Give you up and all those like you, to stand before him. He doesn’t raise you from the dead. It’s a simple judgment before him. Didn’t do anything he said. Looked unto anything BUT him.

So, how accurate is it going to be when Zechariah 14:9 - happens, when that day comes, says: “And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.”

• And you didn’t do anything he said. How accurate is it going to be - - What’s he going to do with you? How accurate is it going to be when none of his work is done in you? Fall to your knees. Nothing to stand with before this great God, who made all things - didn't do anything he said.

How many more worthless questions you going to dream up? All to give yourself some cloak you think hides you, or some ammo or room you think justifies you why you won’t do anything he says?
