I disagree with that being the message of Revelation. Rather, Revelation concerns itself with the end of the old covenant, the consequences for Israel for not fulfilling the terms of the covenant, and God's plan of moving forward with a new and everlasting covenant. But your understanding of the book does reveal why you believe as you do.
Exactly. And this "kicking Israel to the curb cuz they broke the old covenant" business (that God foresaw in eternity past DUH!) is where you dived off into the weeds of heretical doctrine.
You try and show me one verse that declares that God has cast Israel off forever, and I will show you HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS that says He will redeem them, THE SONS OF JACOB, TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL yet future, using the Great Tribulation and terror of the AC to do it.
Wrong again buddy.
SHORTLY (en tachos) is meant to convey "in quickness".
But what you think it means is that which all of the Biblical illiterates think so you are in good company.
Rev 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly G5034 come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John
Rev 22:6
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly G5034 be done.
Yawns we have been in the great tribulation since the death of Jesus, the great tribulation of the battle of souls

In the language they used are you meaning when Isaiah said in 13:6 that the day of the Lord was NEAR between 740-700bce? https://biblehub.com/interlinear/isaiah/13.htm
It was relatively near. It referred directly to the captivity in Babylon. Prophetically, it referred to the time of Christ, as does much of Isaiah.
The mystery is God's plan to undo all of the damage done to creation by Satan and his angels. And to redeem mankind from the wages of sin. And bring in the everlasting Kingdom of God to rule over the earth.
like in 593-571 bce when Ezekiel 30:3 when he said it was NEAR? https://biblehub.com/interlinear/ezekiel/30.htm
I don't disagree with all this. But I'm sure we differ as to how. How is God doing these things?
Well in Joel 3:14(520-500 bce so after the captivity) was that the day of the Lord when it was NEAR and all the nations were judged? https://biblehub.com/interlinear/joel/3.htm
Do you know that the nations weren't judged? Isaiah also speaks of the nations being judged? Were they?
Are you suggesting that all these passages are speaking to the end of time? Only to the end of time? That no judgment has come upon nations throughout history?
It is too complex to give a comprehensive answer. But as far as completion, according Revelation 10:7, the timing will be in the days when the seventh angel (of the 7 trumpet angels of Revelation 8) sounds.
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The first action will be to cast Satan and his angels down to earth. As God then begins dismantling Satan's kingdom to exist no more. And then cast Satan himself into the bottomless pit prison.
At the outset of the millennium, Jesus will then restore the earth from the damage incurred during the great tribulation. And reward the saints to reign and rule with Him.
Are you meaning after the 1000 years when the Devil is loosed and he deceives the nations? Do you believe it is past?
I'm asking why you believe what is written concerning judgment in the OT didn't occur shortly after it was spoken?
I do believe it could have future fulfillment as well, but I see no reason to assume it didn't also occur in a near time frame as well. This is what I was asking about.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Satan got hit with a haymaker to the left jaw and he fell to the canvas, when the seventy disciples began casting out demons. Back at the time Jesus sent them to preach the kingdom of God was at hand.
Differently, in Revelation 12:7-9, Michael and his angels will make war with Satan and his angels in the second heaven. And Satan and his angels cast down to earth, in the end times. Michael's actions corresponds to Daniel 12:1.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
