I don't recall, we'd have to get the book The Demonologist, and I'm not promoting the book. That story was read from the book by Dr. Gene Scott on his old satellite network. Folks would send him books, and if he thought it important he would read some of it online during the week, and then buy a hundred copies and send one to those who called in to donate money.

“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
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”
Luke 21:20-24 KJV
“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all ( that’s written in the ot ) be fulfilled.”
Luke 21:32
Some people are looking for what happened in ad 70 which Jesus was red then aboit and John gave the their fonal wernkng just before it happened. Instead of looking for the New Testament promises of Jesus coming back from heaven each testament has its own prophecy the old was fulfilled ots why Jerusalem was destroyed like what was written before Jesus came that it would be destroyed and left desolate and the people would be slaughtered and led into the nations ect
it’s odd here to me . If we would read what the old testement said would happen we would see it happen in the nt and then inow to find out what the nt says will happen later and we’d have stronger faith knowing it’s sure seeing the old being fulfilled as evidence

My point is that when a dual prophecy is given, it will be initially fulfilled in OT times, and the reality of what is being prefigured in OT history is fulfilled in the coming of Messiah. In other words, Jesus is the final fulfillment of all prophecy.
How do you understand the prophecy of Isaiah 61 being fulfilled?

“Jesus is the final fulfillment of all prophecy.”
right in the ot imagine there’s no nt for a moment and we’re living just before Jesus comes preaching all the scripture is the prophets the law and the psalms . Now no one’s heard from God for about 250 years the last they had heard in thier testement was a promise of a messiah who was going to give them a new and eternal covenant when he came that would restore them to God
The last we have is this prophecy
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:
and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Malachi 3:1 KJV
and then this
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
Malachi 4:5-6
so then 250 -300 years later the fulfillment of thier testements prophecy begins to happen
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Which shall prepare thy way before thee. ( Malachi 3)
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ( my messenger will prepare the way before me )
And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. ( thier prepared now for the new covenant and it’s giver the messiah the lord whom they seek )
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;”
Mark 1:1-2, 4-6
the Old Testament prophecy is about Jesus being born and coming to Jerusalem , being rejected by the people and crucified willingly for the peoples sins to take thier sins upon himself so they can have remission of sins.
Then about him ascending to the right hand of God and ruling from the throne of heaven , where he would later return in the future ect
the Old Testament was made exclusively with Israel’s tribes and thier descendants known as the children of Israel they were promised a messiah , a kingdom , an inheritance through Abraham ect on this earth . They broke thier covenant with God and faced the punishment
when jesus came it was fulfilling the promise of a new and eternal covenant that would be given to them first and then given to the rest of the nations by them who received it in tbat generation of Jesus
its why you see this in tbe ot prophecy
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 KJV
jesus fuflilled that
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
Psalm 110:1 KJV
Jesus also fuflilled this when he ascended to heavens throne at the right hand of God after they rejected and had him crucified he left earths kingdom and entered heavens u til the day comes for him to come in victory over his enemies which the new testement prophecy tells us will happen at the end of our covenant which also Jesus will return a second time to fulfill the second covenant based on the gospel and not Moses law , not Israel’s land on this earth but according to the New Testament doctrine when Jesus returns it’s not going to be to set up a kingdom in Israel he already did that no one recognized it
“And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;”
Luke 22:29 KJV
He already came to the temple when he was born and lived he already stood on the Mount of olives and taught ect already was born and lived and died and rose and ascended up to heaven at Gods right hand ect
theres old testement promises of a messiah who would be born , live and be rejected by the people , die for the peoples sin , be raised up again and taken up into heaven to rule from gods throne with a rod of iron ect
these things have already been fulfilled in accordance with those things things like Jerusalems destruction because they rejected trier savior the son also has already happened the wrath of e breaking of thier covenent already happened in 70 ad the temples destruction Jesus told them was gonna happen soon already happened it was destroyed and burned by rome in 70 ad after the people were forbidden from worshipping correctly after the idol was set up to Zeus on the temple long before ect ect these things happened in those days some before some shortly after
there’s been no temple in Jerusalem for almost two thousand years now they don’t control the temple mound now Islams temple is there stating “God has no son “ ect
Your right Jesus fuflilled prophecy each testament promises his coming to fulfill it he’s already come once and that prophetic order is over now we’re looking for what the New Testament says for the church not what the ot said to israel anymore but what Jesus and his apostles and prophets said after he was taken up to his throne in heaven where someday he’ll come again not as a baby to die for sin but as the king of kings and lord ot lords to save all
Who believe and to destroy this earth completely and restore a new one with the kk from in heaven the real Jerusalem where Jesus rules now and that will appear after this world ends
Im just saying brother what seems obvious there are two testaments in the Bible one was made with israel the other is made with all of mankind every creature and each one has its own prophetic order of events to be looked for for each time and people it was given

The NT was written to what audience? It was, first and foremost, written to and for a 1st century audience. So what is written must first be understood by their understanding. Assuming something written to them refers to future events without relevance to the original audience and specific to their time is what I believe leads to so much confusion.
This is why I asked concerning Isaiah 61. What is your understanding of the dual fulfillment of it?
Also, what necessitated the advent of Christ in the 1st century? What event was required for His second coming?

“How do you understand the prophecy of Isaiah 61 being fulfilled?”
It’s a reference to the gospel Jesus would preach when he came. But it’s just what he said when he read Isaiah 61 out loud ….
“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, ( Isaiah 61)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”
Luke 4:17-21, 43 KJV
I understand it that it began being fulfilled just like he said there and led to what it said here everyone still sees what happened then even today in the scripture it’s still a witness of Christ
“For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”
Isaiah 61:8-9, 11 KJV
how many have been converted because of thier witness and glory because God was with them ?
Isaiah 61 is about the gospel being preached by Jesus to Israel , and the remnant which believed sent out to all the world to witness the gospel in that same generation ….notice scripture ends with the death of the apostles but everyone always held it as sacred and preserved thier words
that generation was special see there in isaiah 61 you mention this part of the prophecy ?
“But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.”
Isaiah 61:6 KJV
Notice revelation here
“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: and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 1:1, 5-6, 9
and here
“And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, ( Gods throne is in heaven ) and serve him day and night in his temple: ( priests do that ) and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Revelation 7:14-17 KJV
John was giving them hope from God to keep to the faith in the terrible times they faced and would face ahead his message was stay in the lord even if they kill you for it
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Revelation 14:12-13 KJV
They would soon be faced with Nero’s slaughter who’s name by the way adds up to the number 666 in some numerical form they used in those times of John
who was behind the burning of rome and then following g blaming of Jews and Christian’s for it ordering the state sponsored persecutions of Christian’s
theres things in the Bible that haven’t happened but we find them in the new testement prophecy given to all people and not the ot prophecy given to israel only
now im not saying the ot doesn’t mention the end of the new I’m saying each testament has its own prophetic design and it correlates to the coming of the messiah promised in that covenant
this coming to israel
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, ( at gods right hand in heaven see act as chapter 2:29-36) and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.”
Isaiah 9:6
thats already happened he already came another thing that happened because of it was this
“But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
Matthew 21:37-38, 40-41, 43 KJV
“But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.”
Matthew 22:7
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: ( Jesus crucified for the people )
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; ( rome 70 ad what Jesus is warnkng them of who are listening to him )
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”
Daniel 9:26 KJV
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
Luke 21:20-22
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”
Matthew 24:15-16, 21-22 KJV
theres a lot about Jesus second coming too that’s what we’re looking for the ot is about the first coming of Jesus to earth the nt is about his return from heaven two testaments two prophetic lines within each testament based on two appearances of Jesus one as a lamb to be sacrificed the second as a lion in victory and power
It’s a reference to the gospel Jesus would preach when he came. But it’s just what he said when he read Isaiah 61 out loud ….

theres a lot about Jesus second coming too that’s what we’re looking for the ot is about the first coming of Jesus to earth the nt is about his return from heaven two testaments two prophetic lines within each testament based on two appearances of Jesus one as a lamb to be sacrificed the second as a lion in victory and power
His second coming will end the world … that’s new testement prophecy
“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
( it was going to be a long wait )
but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
( that’s why he hasn’t returned yet giving us chance to repent and live )
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ( that’s what happened when he returns from heaven )
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:3-4, 7-13 KJV
We’re waiting for Jesus to return brother that’s my point when he does it’s the end and then beginning of the new
“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

“How do you understand the prophecy of Isaiah 61 being fulfilled?”
It’s a reference to the gospel Jesus would preach when he came. But it’s just what he said when he read Isaiah 61 out loud ….
“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, ( Isaiah 61)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”
Luke 4:17-21, 43 KJV
I understand it that it began being fulfilled just like he said there and led to what it said here everyone still sees what happened then even today in the scripture it’s still a witness of Christ
“For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”
Isaiah 61:8-9, 11 KJV
how many have been converted because of thier witness and glory because God was with them ?
Isaiah 61 is about the gospel being preached by Jesus to Israel , and the remnant which believed sent out to all the world to witness the gospel in that same generation ….notice scripture ends with the death of the apostles but everyone always held it as sacred and preserved thier words
that generation was special see there in isaiah 61 you mention this part of the prophecy ?
“But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.”
Isaiah 61:6 KJV

“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: and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 1:1, 5-6, 9
and here
“And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, ( Gods throne is in heaven ) and serve him day and night in his temple: ( priests do that ) and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Revelation 7:14-17 KJV
John was giving them hope from God to keep to the faith in the terrible times they faced and would face ahead his message was stay in the lord even if they kill you for it
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Revelation 14:12-13 KJV
They would soon be faced with Nero’s slaughter who’s name by the way adds up to the number 666 in some numerical form they used in those times of John
who was behind the burning of rome and then following g blaming of Jews and Christian’s for it ordering the state sponsored persecutions of Christian’s
theres things in the Bible that haven’t happened but we find them in the new testement prophecy given to all people and not the ot prophecy given to israel only
now im not saying the ot doesn’t mention the end of the new I’m saying each testament has its own prophetic design and it correlates to the coming of the messiah promised in that covenant
this coming to israel
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, ( at gods right hand in heaven see act as chapter 2:29-36) and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.”
Isaiah 9:6
thats already happened he already came another thing that happened because of it was this
“But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
Matthew 21:37-38, 40-41, 43 KJV
“But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.”
Matthew 22:7
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: ( Jesus crucified for the people )
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; ( rome 70 ad what Jesus is warnkng them of who are listening to him )
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”
Daniel 9:26 KJV
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
Luke 21:20-22
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”
Matthew 24:15-16, 21-22 KJV

And who executed judgment upon Israel in 70AD?
Did you know sharing a simple story of what the enemy has done to you does not give God glory but does give the enemy glory and its something we should never share. Some things you ask/talk about no one knows. Satan comes to kill and to steal. No where is it written he can not kill.. it happens day in day out. Demons.. no one knows. Some say the could be those that died in the flood since they were part angel and part man and were never meant to be. That flood we don't know how many people were on the earth at that time a million or 10 billion we don't know. Where there people here before Adam and Eve? To keep running with this there are parts in the bible that talk about cities before Adam and Eve. To just give one
" looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the air had fled. I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger. "
What powers demons have.. I can't say. Fallen angels have everything that God gave them before the fall. We do tend to really puff our selfs up when in reality we are nothing with out Christ. There is a reason we can not freely see into the spirit world. Seen some things one was we were staying at my moms house and I got up to go to the bathroom and as I was going through the living room to my right I see this black yet see through figure walk through the wall pass in front of me looks at me and goes out the wall to my left. Now I have heard those "stories" of people what saw heaven and said you just knew what they were thinking? I take those with a grain of salt yet when it passed infront of me looked at me It was thinking "you are nothing". I could have said in the name of JESUS and it would not have moved. See its like Peter and John said at that gate after the man was healed and the people thought they did it. They said" why look at us as if we did this by our own power. That NAME faith in that NAME healed this man.
You must have faith and me duh a man of FAITH yet the next week I made sure to keep the lights on in the hallway.. yeah that would keep it out huh haha. Live and learn. Told my mom about it and lol she said "Oh thats just death hes been hanging around here lately. Well my dad did of bone cancer found Christ though. The man she was married to had cancer and died not long after that moment. My mom had cancer for 18y.. and that name above every name heals sets free saves.. Isa 53 1st Peter 2 24.. faith in that name heals. Just letting some know.. I have seen more things like this when it comes to sickness yet I am not moved by what I see or hear or feel. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. The song playing "Every day I live (great great GOD) just singing shouting every day I will praise your name.. every day I live

“The NT was written to what audience? It was, first and foremost, written to and for a 1st century audience.”
Well yes that’s my point . its a record of what happened and was also written by those enduring it until about 65-90 ad whichever dates one wants to date revelation which no one really has anyway to do to an exact year or even decade. We can only look at the content of what’s in the Bible and then in the vision of apacolypse John sees and tells them is about to begin to happen to them.
Those same people in acts who began to be persecuted for thier faith and by that suffering and persecution the gospel began to be spread into the regions by that generation who wrote the scriptures we now believe and have faith in they were of course writing to other believers in that generation that’s my entire point about revelation it was written to people of that day to warn them of what was about to happen and so when it began they would keep faith and endure .
So this
“The NT was written to what audience? It was, first and foremost, written to and for a 1st century audience.”
I agree with this
“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: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is,( presently ) and which was, ( past ) and which is to come; ( future )
and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 1:1, 4-6 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. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 1:3, 9 KJV
Note later on in the vision
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”
Revelation 6:9-11
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 12:17 KJV
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:7 KJV
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Revelation 14:9-12 KJV
John is preparing them for what’s about to happen when Nero began slaughtering the church in about 67-70 ad a ding in the seige of jersualem and scattering of the Jews both Christian and non Christian into the nations of the world.
In revelation you see the Old Testament end of Jerusalem and it’s time of the ot law and rule being fulfilled and also you see several short visions of what is going on in heaven presently and also what will happen when Jesus returns at the end of the war on earth between Satan and mankind who believe in Jesus in heaven.
things like this should make sense of revelation
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
Revelation 12:5
If anyone has read the Old Testament and gospel there’s no question what this is a vision of. And we also know when it happened in our natural timeline
“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:18
the new and old testaments are divided by Christ two comings the old would be fulfilled when the messiah came forth to israel it would be a blessing or curse like he always said they rejected him and chose the curse.
He then sent the new covenant they rejected out to everyone through a chosen remnant who believed him when he spoke to them and they obeyed when he said go preach that to everyone.
everythings not fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled some of the new are some are is what im saying brother
This is only my own opinion and belief I’m not shouting i have to be infallibly right just am discussing it with you. Just a small disclaimer there lol
Well yes that’s my point . its a record of what happened and was also written by those enduring it until about 65-90 ad whichever dates one wants to date revelation which no one really has anyway to do to an exact year or even decade. We can only look at the content of what’s in the Bible and then in the vision of apacolypse John sees and tells them is about to begin to happen to them.
Those same people in acts who began to be persecuted for thier faith and by that suffering and persecution the gospel began to be spread into the regions by that generation who wrote the scriptures we now believe and have faith in they were of course writing to other believers in that generation that’s my entire point about revelation it was written to people of that day to warn them of what was about to happen and so when it began they would keep faith and endure .
So this
“The NT was written to what audience? It was, first and foremost, written to and for a 1st century audience.”
I agree with this
“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: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is,( presently ) and which was, ( past ) and which is to come; ( future )
and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 1:1, 4-6 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. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 1:3, 9 KJV
Note later on in the vision
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”
Revelation 6:9-11
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 12:17 KJV
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:7 KJV
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Revelation 14:9-12 KJV
