As you listen to this reading listen carefully as ask yourself a few questions
- Who does it say this book is wriiten to?
- 11:1
Then was giuen me a reede, like vnto a rod, and the Angel stoode by, saying, Rise and mete the Temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
11:2
But the court which is without the temple cast out, and mete it not: for it is giuen vnto the Gentiles, and the holy citie shall they treade vnder foote, two and fourtie moneths. What temple is John speaking of? If Revelation was written in 96 AD there was no more a Temple of God in Jerusalem. If this this a third temple built on earth then where is the scripture to confirm that, and more importantly WHERE does it say a third Temple built in Jerusalem would emotely be called a Temple of God since Jesus is the Temple and we are His Body making us the Temple as well. - If Jesus is addressing people almost 2,000 years later why on earth does He tell those in those literal 7 churches in Asia Minor/Turkey that He was coming soon? Those who pierced Him shall see Him?
So, I beg ya’ll to seriously pay attention to what is being said and not what you have been taught. That is all I am going to say you go to the LORD for yourself, I will not influence you either way. I am not interested in “followers” I am interested in no one being deceived by following the popular teachings of the day without questioning things. The Scriptures will interpret the scriptures not the newspaper….
Also, always keep in mind what Jesus spoke to people directly and what He taught to His disciples. Compare scripture with scripture.
The book of Revelation is written in signs and in order to under the signs we must know the rest of the Scriptures like the first Church did, not the daily newspaper! (Wycliffe Revelation 1:1 Apocalips of Jhesu Crist, which God yaf to hym to make open to hise seruauntis, whiche thingis it bihoueth to be maad soone. And he signyfiede, sending bi his aungel to his seruaunt Joon,) and (1611 1:1 The Reuelation of Iesus Christ, which God gaue vnto him, to shewe vnto his seruants things which must shortly come to passe; and he sent and signified it by his Angel vnto his seruant Iohn,)

Like with the scriptures below, did Jesus make a blanket statement that stretches 2000 years, or did He pinpoint a precise group of people? It is imperative you ask questions, and then allow the Holy Spirit to guide you through the scriptures, instead of every modern teacher than parrots old historian interpretations but what does the scriptures say?
MATTHEW 23:30 And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
23:31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
23:32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
23:33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell!
23:34 Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
