In addition to my previous question, I have yet another. There are a number of souls I have come across on the internet (few in number, but no doubt representing a very large number of kindred souls) who say that the events in Revelation have already happened centuries ago,
Since there is very little potential "profit" (financially and socially) in this view, I can only assume they are extremely serious.
So, if they see Revelation as having already occurred, how do they account for ANY (but a few) of the incredible events in John's (JESUS's) Revelation that have obviously not happened yet? And I am not talking strong theological points. I am talking about the obvious literal prophecies.
If you think Revelation is a bunch of bunk, I will disagree with you, pray for you, and honestly understand where you are coming from. I get it. I really do.
But to accept Revelation as fact and a scripture inspired by God, how on earth can you think those events already happened?
BTW, I am not looking for an echo chamber here (although a few "You aren't crazy Jonathan, at least not more than usual would be welcome). I really want to know their train of thought and how they have come to their conclusion.
