How do you get this from the context of Revelation?

John is writing to seven churches in the first century about events that must shortly take place ... in the Middle Ages?

Wrong! Oh well, He was so close. The harlot is the catholic church, her children are all of the churches that are out here decieving Many! Beware of mans religions.

If the Roman Catholic Church in in the book of Revelation then how do you interpret Revelation 1:1?

[mooglecharmed]

Except that the Holy Roman Empire was not "soon." Also, the "Iron" and "clay" in Daniel 2 represent Rome and Jerusalem. This relationship is also represented as the prostitute and the beast in Rev 17. The beast destroyed the prostitute at the end of the chapter. The prostitute is called the "great city" at the end of the chapter. In Rev 11:8, "the great city" is Jerusalem and has other figurative names that describe it like "Egypt" and "Sodom." (cont.)

@theheat151 John's audience would have had no knowledge of the Roman Catholic Church. That doesn't make sense in context.

The deadly wound by the sword (war) and did live is talking about the Nazi's. That,. as of this day, are on the rise with national socialism and the swastika is coming back. Look into the Denver Airport.

All wrong - denying the power of the Gospel, the power of God's word through prophecy...denies the renewal of the earth at judgement, denies Paul who said the the judgement won't come until the man of sin is revealed...more false teachings...and this is why America will be judged because it is the source of confusion and not truth. America is judged because those who call themselves Christians are faithless...fulfilling the Lord's prediction of the false brethren of America

And, John reclined himself on Jesus... the opposite of Jerusalem leaning on Rome.

I think you're absolutely right....

@pemski2001 If you let the Bible speak, you will learn that antichrist does not refer to a single individual. In Paul's day, so many antichrist already existed just as Jesus prophesied before the fall of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. They tried to deceive the people claiming that they were the Christ. So antichrist actually refers to anyone who claims to be Jesus Christ when in reality he is not. Does the pope claim to be Jesus Christ? I haven't heard of any pope who claimed to be Christ.

@7olusegun The prophecy was about Israel, the Roman Empire and the Christians during the first century. The Bible is telling us God was dealing with these nations as he was punishing Israel for killing the prophets and Jesus Christ and using the Roman army to destroy the once chosen people. Judaism holding sway throughout the land simply refers to the old sacrificial system which was practiced and enforced throughout the 10 tribes of Israel. Islam was not in view in this prophecy.

There are those who claim they know me yet I know them not. In those days there will be a vail over the eyes of the wicked. Who's hearts are waxed cold. They shall look for the truth and find it not. Be wary of those who speak half truths for they will deceive many for theirs are the interpretations of fools who know not the truth. There hearts know truth yet they careth not and are workers of iniquity Be true to yourself and to others. Walk in Truth and SEE all before thee. SEEK Truth in Light
