Hi John,

I have to say that I believe that the dating of the Book of Revelation is an important issue, and you say it makes no difference when it was written. That is where we agree or disagree.

If this study has no relevance to your understanding of what is true, then don't believe it, you have that right. There is nothing wrong with what is being shown here.

Labeling me as someone that only believes in preterism, puts me in a box that you can define and one that you obviously have a great deal of prejudice against. Fortunately, finding out the Truth means more to me than your opinion, or accusations.

Like Steven commented, I, too, am neither into Kingdom Now or Dominion Theology, or Charismatic Theology or any other organized religious groups, I am a truth seeker that is willing to see it as a little here and a little there when rightly dividing the Word.

From what you have shared on other threads leads me to see you as having an Idealist theology, in that the whole of the Bible should be viewed as having only "spiritual" relevance. This may not be true of you, but you get my point.

We disagree on the importance of knowing when the Book of Revelation was written, and on that we can agree to disagree. But, you know what would be nice? For you to put on some of your own studies into what you do believe, so that others could comment on your understanding. I for one would find that very interesting, as you seem very wise on many theological issues.

Well at least we agree the doctrine isn't of God and is founded on the word of man. Since its clearly not of faith since faith comes by hearing the Word of God of which jewish wars is clearly not , preterism can't even be on the table of possibility

About the date I can also conclude that its irrelevant to understanding because no one will everbe able to know when it was written. I give you your guesses but the fact that you are having to post about it plainly shows it is uncertain. For God to require us to know something we can never know in orde to understand His teachings would make God into a bad teacher butHe is the greatest of teachers and therefore cannot cause confusion, which is what is being caused by founding a teaching on uncertainty

Also understand that I'm saying these things not to offend, but simply because you are able to understan them because in you I see an understanding beyond the proverbial curve. Which is a very good thing. but this worldly doctrine and these words of men- if we agree these words are not of God is it pleasing to God to bring these in to the sanctuary of His understanding?

As for my position I would be a furuist and the revelation hasn't begun and the only way God can fulfill it now is if the fulfillment is witnessed by the entire creation because God hasn't testified to the fulfillment in His Word so it must be an all-encompassing event

As for writing threads its beyond my ability most of the time as I am on a roaming tablet deviceand it takes a long time to even type these responses. So I must post here a little there a little. But at the time I am sure we will be able to move faster and hear in a greater fullness
