[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

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:
Revelation 1:1 KJV

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.

Revelations 1:3 KJV

i wonder what one would see as the PLAIN MEANING of those texts, that is to say WITHOUT redefining the seven churches as seven different church types...and just where is the warrent for that type of redefinition in the text?

[William Terrell]

What, I wonder, is the term "shortly" and "time is at hand" means to God in terms of the material sequential passing one moment after another?

Can you point to all the events that Jesus told His disciples about coming to pass in the generation fo Jesus? Read the passages, then show me in history where those passages happened.

If they did not happen as He said, then He is either a liar, false prophet or speaking of a time in the future. Which is it?
